"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Quite possibly the best metaphor for ObamaCare, yet
Ed Driscoll: "like a piñata stuffed to the brim with fail".
Most developed nations have a public health-care system and a private health-care system — of variable quality, to be sure, but all of them far simpler to navigate than America's endlessly mutating fusion of the worst of both worlds. Obamacare stitches together the rear ends of two pantomime horses and attempts to ride it to the sunlit uplands. Steyn Online
I remember Obama's 1st election campaign, he said, 'I don't want business to be all upside and no downside'. It reminded me of schoolteacher friends who imagine that shopkeepers who open long hours (just to survive and pay the rent) are 'raking in the money'. These people just have no idea at all - that running a business is a constant struggle against failure.

Exceptionally well put.

I hope the Republicans don't blow this opportunity. A faint hope, I know, but still.
