President Obama has boasted about his desire to listen to ideas from all angles of the health care debate, but despite having representatives from 169 different labor, industry, and policy organizations, the attendee list released by the White House does not include any organizations that advocate a consumer-based free market health care approach. So while progressive organizations such as the Center for American Progress, Health Care for America NOW!, Campaign for America's Future are represented, the list does not include the Cato Institute, Consumers for Health Care Choices, the Galen Institue, the Council for Affordable Health Insurance, or any similar groups.

Didn't you hear? The news just played a clip of Obama saying the time for talk is over concerning health care. He always determines that just when the talk begins.

The most acclaimed wordsmith of our time gets to decide the discourse?

I hope he fails big time.

Free market reform!

You must be joking.

This guy is without a doubt the most collosal failure as a president of all time
