Frum's cynical ignorance

David Frum writes a somewhat confusing (dishonest?) post on Obama and healthcare. If I read him right he's saying that Obama is being honest about the negatives of healthcare reform and is asking Americans to sacrifice for the common good. This doesn't seem right, since all I've heard from Obama is how people can keep their coverage if they like it, costs will be lowered by government entering the realm of insurance competition, coverage will be increased and the future of our economy will be saved. I missed the part where Obama said people would have to wait a long time for medical access, but this sacrifice is necessary to help poor people.

Frum then goes on to imply that Obama has not appealed to the greedy nature of the American public who care not a bit about freedom but only what they can get for free -- so Obama's agenda is likely to fail, since there is no way to reach the better angels of human nature because they don't exist.

This places Obama as the "high-minded" idealist only concerned for the good of all against the rest of us greedy snatchers who think only with our wallets and money purses. This is how Frum plans to build a New Majority? I wonder how that's working out for him?

Frum's been in Washington D.C. too long with his nose up the butts of faux-elites who have no idea what the rest of country thinks and believes. These igorant generalizations are a poor excuse for intelligent analysis.
