Hey it isn't just me and my doctor. And the last words of the clip you put in were "if it is going to save money....." That is who is going to decide.
I don't understand your last line either. Rhetoric is what we are all doing here. Are you criticizing my opinion now? Or saying I shouldn't be speaking? It is clear I don't like Obama so what would your statement be for?
As far as rhetoric goes, the new word is that Dems are going to say anyone who uses the word socialism is a racist. I call that a witch hunt. I have never seen any republican go after an opposing view the way the left does. Never. They are attacking people for being informed and not bowing to their rule. Yes rule.
To change the very words coming out of anyones' mouth as though it were true on the national scale these people are doing it is ludicrous. So is that what you are doing now Chris? Telling me I can't say what is on my mind? You are better than that. So I will try to keep a positive thought about it.
This is not you I am talking about...it is the president who so many others criticized when it wasn't Obama and now we can't criticize this one? Why? He has double the deficit in 8 months. 8 months is all it took him and the liberal congress to make worse what people criticized Bush for. Even though it was Fannie and Freddie that started it all and we know why that happened. More "let's be fair' treatment when life isn't fair. People do not have a right to the same kind of house another one pays for. People do not have a right to government controlled health care. I paid for mine. I paid for my hospital visit and stay when I didn't have insurance. Why should you pay for me? Or anyone? None of it is in the constitution.

MSNBC Anchor: '"Socialist" Is Becoming the New N-word'

UPDATE at end of post: Is this what Newsweek meant when it proudly declared on its cover, "We're All Socialists Now?"
Did you know that when you refer to someone as a socialist, you're really calling them the N-word?
Such an astonishing hypothesis was offered by MSNBC's Carlos Watson Monday in a segment he refers to as "The 'C' Note."
Potentially even more shocking, after Watson offered this seemingly absurd opinion, Mort Zuckerman actually agreed with him (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t HotAirPundit):

Today I want to talk about a word that we're hearing more and more, and that's the word socialist. You hear it from a lot of conservatives these days, that's usually critiquing the President, or more broadly Democrats. And while that's certainly a legitimate critique, there certainly is an ideology that can and should be critiqued at certain times, it also some times is just a kind of a generic conservative bludgeoning tool. And that's alright, too, because you hear it on the Democratic side as well: rightwingnut, what have you.
But what concerns me is when in some of those town hall meetings including the one that we saw in Missouri recently where there were jokes made about lynching, etc., you start to wonder whether in fact the word socialist is becoming a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new N-word for frankly for some angry upset birthers and others. I hope that's not the case, but it sure does say to you what David Brooks said the other day on T.V. which is that more credible conservatives have to stand up and say that there's a line that has to be drawn, that there's a line of responsibility that's important, and that extends to the words that we choose including how choose even legitimate words like socialist.
What?
So now that we have a black president, words that have been used in our country for decades -- words that have real meaning -- suddenly stand for something else altogether that includes a racial overtone?
What kind of nonsense is this?
Are we headed to a point in our history when any criticism about this president will be deemed racist?
