Pushback!!! Critics balk at private Medicare plan "gag order"

Pushback is working, and Obama's critics are noticing. Obama et. al. are used to working in stealth, flying with the Acorns and the Apollo Alliances openly only in friendly territory, using surprise thuggishness to win Democratic caucus and astroturf events. But they have depended on their opponents not being on to them. But now their opponents are on to them, and surprise! Alinskyite tactics work in both directions. Obama's army is not well armored for open battle because their cause is unpopular in most places.

Even if MSM viewers only learn about this as "the Obama administration was forced to back down due to conservative criticism" it must still have a cumulative effect.

No one knows what the final version of the "reform" will actually look like, and yet anyone raising questions about it stands to be accused of spreading misinformation.

It's nuts. Any objections and concerns = misinformation. The only "truth" about healthcare reform is whatever Mr. Obama happens to mention in the latest of his many speeches.
