Democrats, Obama, their Friends, and Health Care

It's becoming quite amazing the extent to which the Democrats and Obama are caving to their friends in order to pass health care legislation that the majority of Americans do not want.  The latest: unions will be exempt from the so called "cadillac tax" provisions in the healthcare bill.  In other words, Obama's union friends (who already have received the gift of ownership and control of GM and Chrysler--both funded by American taxpayers, mind you) will now be spared from paying their fair share of the costs for the Democrat's healthcare plan. 

Buying votes for the healthcare plan is already old news.  Late last year, in order to secure the vote of Senator Nelson from Nebraska, Obama and the Democrats agreed that Nebraska would not have to pay for the increase of Medicare costs it will face under the healthcare plan.  The rest of the country will be forced to pick up Nebraska's tab. 

During the campaign, Obama said that he would "redistribute the wealth."  It looks like this is one campaign promise he is keeping.
