    After more than a year of trying to pass healthcare reform, President Blamebush thinks that it might help to clean up the fraud and abuse within the current healthcare system. Bravo, you Harvard-educated genius...

    Anyone with common sense would have tried to clean this up BEFORE trying to spend more on new programs.

    I honestly can't think of a good reason why any effort to clean up fraud and abuse would need to be tied to any new healthcare reform legislation, though. It ought to be done on its own before any changes are made to the healthcare system. Seems like we could spend a few million on some supercomputers and data mining software and reap billions and billions in savings by catching the thieves and scam artists. Heck, to pay for it, we could even ask Congress to cut back a little on their 5-star travel accomodations.

    I wonder why Obama is bringing this out only now? Could it be that an initiative like this might actually strike a positive chord with his employers (us). But then again, I'm not sure why he would be interested in what the majority of Americans think now.

    Let the mudslinging begin...

    Bravo yo. 18 minutes to get in a weird and unconnected Bush slam. Listen homeboy, Bush kinda Sucked as president. You need to go ahead and let that security blanket go & join the rest of us in 2010 where an even shitier president takes control of our lives while bankrupting the treasury 100 years into the future. Your posts are spectacularly predictable and usually irrelevant.

    Only until he can bankrupt them, general, and then they will go gently into the good night.

    Sorry I was a little curt. I'm just sick of the Bush red herring. We need to focus on the present.
