     It is but another example of the anti-Israel, leftist-
     leaning people whom Obama chooses. There is an anti-Israel
     and anti-American venom that courses through Obama and the
     people he surrounds himself with.

And then there's this about Dr. Donald Berwick

President Obama's recess appointment of Dr. Donald Berwick to head the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services justifiably caused a great stir, and not merely because the manner of his becoming director of the agency evaded a Senate confirmation hearing and thus an airing of his extremely controversial views.

Berwick is an advocate of rationing of health care and a lover - his description - of Britain's National Health Service. With Obama's appointment, Berwick is now effectively the second most powerful man in the federal government on health care matters.

But there's something else about Berwick that should have disqualified him from any job in the federal government - he's a key figure in Physicians for Human Rights, an international organization that in recent years has been an aggressive and dishonest critic of Israel.

Eileen Toplansky of American Thinker explains:

"Why would Berwick financially support and be a board member of an organization that singles out Israel for human rights abuses and mistreatment of civilians? Why does Berwick consider international law above American law?

"It is but another example of the anti-Israel, leftist-leaning people whom Obama chooses. There is an anti-Israel and anti-American venom that courses through Obama and the people he surrounds himself with.

"So in what is becoming his standard operating dictatorial approach, Obama has pushed through another appointee, with the result that Berwick now has enormous power over Americans' health care. In essence, Berwick will head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and control a budget larger than the Pentagon's."

And that's not the whole of it. Go here for the rest of the story.
