With friends like Michael Moore, Barack Obama doesn't

a Canadian-style single-payer system, but then feels forced
to appear on five Sunday talk shows to prove otherwise; or
he plants white-coated docs like plastic flamingos on the
White House lawn.
-
We live in an age of ideologically transgendered leaders.
-
In the U.S., both Republican and Democratic pols define capitalism
as a system with economic activity sufficient to produce campaign
contributions.
