So Obama is holding a townhall meeting right now (cue hearty applause from a sea of clapping seals) to tout his monstrous health care overhaul – more evidence that we`re entering the hard sell phase of something so unnecessary it`s actually turning our President into a sweaty huckster. But thankfully for him, he doesn't have to do it all himself- the networks are doing Obama`s pitching (and catching) for free.

Look, with this sort of thing, you gotta go with your gut: when someone is trying to sell you something way too hard, the thing he`s selling ain`t good.

And the only thing you have to remember about health care is this: if Obama had to choose between the current system, and the system he`s envisioning for all of us, he`d run screaming to the former. You saw him in that ABC infomercial - when asked by a neurologist (which is a real doctor, I think) what he would do if his wife or child got seriously ill. Wouldn`t Obama want the best damn care possible, nationalized health care bureaucracy be damned? At that point, Obama started thinking like a human again, not a teleprompter, and could no longer defend his plan. Instead, he said, "it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care."

What, nothing about controlling costs?

In effect, what`s good for Michelle and Malia, is not good for the rest of us.

No wonder Obama needs to sell us this thing.

Even he doesn't even want it!
