President Obama frequently invokes his desire to be a post-partisan president. He talks of getting past business-as-usual partisanship and creating “change we can believe in.” Well, it looks like his $2.5 trillion health care experiment has united the partisan spectrum, but probably not quite how he thought. Yesterday we outlined a list of ten reasons to oppose the Obama-Reid government-run health care plan. And today far-left blogger Jane Hamsher published her own list of ten reasons to oppose the Reid bill as well! We take issue with some of her points, but her concerns about the individual mandate and hidden taxes in the bill are spot on. Her critique of the reckless rush Senate Dems are engaged in, with weekend votes in the dead of night could have been written by us.

The Senate bill isn’t a “starter home,” it’s a sink hole.  It needs to die so something else can take its place. It doesn’t matter whether people are on the right or the left — once they understand the con job that’s about to be foist upon them, they agree.  That’s why Harry Reid and President Obama are trying to jam it through as fast as they can, before people get wise.

So congratulations to the President for ushering in a new era of bipartisanship—against his policies.
