The "Health Care Summit" Farce

The Anchoress has the perfect analysis:

"Is Obama’s 'health care summit' just meant for show?. I vote a big yes. The guy spent the past year saying, 'I won. Shut up. The GOP has no plan; they just want the status quo. I don’t want to hear a lot of talk. Do it my way. Bush sucks.' Now, he wants to confer with the GOP after he has a final bill prepared. It’s Roy Scheider in All That Jazz again, lighting a cigarette, looking into the mirror and announcing, 'Showtime!'

The Republicans would be doing all of us a great favor by suggesting that Obama simply cover the uninsured he's supposedly so worried about, and leave the rest of us alone.
