Dr. Krauthammer says it best via NRO:
"On the administration’s reaction to protesters at health-care town halls:
"Well, the White House accuses it of being orchestrated. Orchestrated is a synonym for organized. And I thought that community organizing was a high calling. I mean, our president — he used to deploy it every day when he was a campaigner as a sign of his altruism.
"This is unbelievable hypocrisy, and it's because the administration has a hard time defending itself on the merits of the case. The support for health-care reform is sinking, and that's because…as you look, as you unpack what is happening here and what's in the bill, it is a monstrosity...
"The administration has made a turn in the PR and you can see it in an op-ed that the secretary of Health and Human Services had earlier this week with the Post — the Washington Post — in which she mentioned the uninsured in paragraph one, and then you never heard about them again.
"It was all about the insured and keeping [your health insurance] and having it, and making the insurance companies have you keep it. The reason that they [the Democrats] have shifted is because that's how you sell it.
"But the problem is: That's not what's in the bills! The bills being discussed in the town halls, and the bills that have been out there for weeks, and the bills that have been drafted and you can read, have all this other stuff in there — the mandates and the huge deficits and the new-age nonsense of wellness and other stuff that everybody is rejecting. That's what they're stuck with right now."
