Anyone remember this?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/get-your-goddamn-governme_b_252326.html"> Government hands off my Medicare.

If so, what does a headline such as this put in their minds no matter how crazy confused these people are?

Headline: Obama plan would hit wealthy with tax increases. Plan to reduce deficit includes adjustments to Medicare, Medicaid.

Who are Obama's advisors? The Marx Brothers?

1. Obama's advisors
That's the theme of Ron Suskind's new book "Confidence Men".

Apparently it's chaos at best, anarchy at worst.

2. I'm wondering if I should read it.

There's a difficulty in trying to please opposites rhetorically. In fact, more likely impossible.

4. I'd read it just to get one theory why candidate Obama differs from President Obama.
Opinions usually have a kernel of truth deep within.

OTOH, I'd look for it in the library rather than buy the book.

6. Apparently, not too many.
The teaRoari$t$ propaganda has proven to be effective at erasing memory.
