When you want to accuse Obama of mindless healthcare fear-mongering, perhaps you should avoid this line of attack:

Obama Evokes Fear, Calls for Courage
by Debra J. SaundersAs a candidate for president, Sen. Barack Obama rejected “the politics of fear.” Well, he won. So now he’s playing the fear card to the hilt.
He’s been taking the fear card from his scabbard and burying it in your back? Bastard. He produced a deck of playing cards and told you to pick a sword, any sword? “The jack of excaliburs, sir — was this it?”
He does he do that? It’s a mystery.
Monday, President Obama went to Strongsville, Ohio, to warn that unless his ObamaCare passes, middle Americans should be very afraid of the day when they (Fear No. 1) lose their job or income, then (Fear No. 2) fall seriously ill and then (Fear No. 3) receive the health care they need, but lose valued assets.
Obama’s intended prop was Natoma Canfield, a 50-year-old cleaning woman and cancer survivor who dropped her private health care policy after Anthem Blue Cross raised her premiums some 40 percent to $708 per month. In December, Canfield wrote to Obama telling him that she was going to drop her insurance rather than lose the home her parents built in 1958. Alas, Canfield could not attend, as she since was diagnosed with leukemia and was in the hospital Monday . .
YIKES.
The fear is not that if you are sick that you will be denied health care. Canfield is in a hospital, and according to Obama, “She expects to face a month or more of aggressive chemotherapy.”
And the fear is not irrational — as everyone knows that worst trifecta could befall many working Americans through no fault of their own.
. . hullo? Hellllloooooooo?
Premiums will go up if insurers have to cover more sick people. Costs will go up if the government subsidizes more Americans . .
And Americans are supposed to trust this bunch to curb costs? Buy me a T-shirt and call me stupid.
Fine. You’re welcome.
