Speed bumps...

I spent nearly five hours today at the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising, which chronicles the fight of the insurgents, from Aug. 1 to Oct. 3, 1944.

Last night on Polish TV I also caught a short clip about speed bumps that Obama is running into vizaviz health care reform. They showed that paragon of American stupidity, Rush L., and his followers, comparing Obama to Hitler. There was even a photo of Obama with a pencilled-in moustache.

Hitler and his followers killed at least 500,000 citizens of Warsaw between 1939 and 1945. That's Five Hundred Thousand. Then they reduced the entire city to rubble...And that's just Warsaw.

Obama is suggesting, as he promised in his campaign, that we bring American health care out of the 19th and into the 21st centuries. Nearly every other civilized country in the world has some form of national health care. The Poles are very happy with theirs.

Health care costs are ruining the American economy; our exports have to include in them the cost of corporate health care, while other countrys' don't. Reviving the economy & healthcare reform go hand in hand.

And for this they compare him to.....Adolph Hitler?

I am unwilling, even unable to forgive that kind of demogogic stupidity.

John is right -- anyone who compares their opponent in an argument to the Nazis, automatically loses.

I can see there will be speed bumps on my reentry into the U.S....
