Winston Smith Goes to Washington [UPDATED!]

Apparently, the Obamistration is doubling down in its fight against transparency in health care reform. Rather than back down on it's Big Brother efforts to silence critics (aka informed and concerned taxpayers), PresBo has not only called out the literal dogs, but the virtual hounds, as well:

"The Obama administration has launched a new Web site to battle what it calls "wild rumors" about the health care reform plans being pushed through Congress -- including an invitation for the public to tattle on any other "myths" they come across."

In the spirit of civic cooperation, I've already played cyber-Stasi, supplying the Reality Check folks with this subversive claim regarding the cost of health care. Be a shame if that effort were duplicated by our readers.

And by the way, we've always been at war with Eastasia.

UPDATE - More Subversive and Dangerous "Fishiness:" Noted Right-Wing Extremist and Notorious Republican Operative Robert Reich cynically slams the Obamistration's backroom deal with Big Pharma (in exchange for caving on using the power of the gummint to drive down rx costs, Pharma has agreed to spend over $150 Million in pro-ObamaCare advertising). Writes Reich:

"(T)he White House confirmed it has promised Big Pharma that any healthcare legislation will bar the government from using its huge purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices. That’s basically the same deal George W. Bush struck in getting the Medicare drug benefit, and it’s proven a bonanza for the drug industry.

Any bonanza for the drug industry means higher health-care costs for the rest of us... "

Talk about Hope! and Change!

Better report him to the Under Ministry of Truth.
