Statement from Dr. Charles Krauthammer about his American Experiment Annual Dinner Remarks
American Experiment "This account is neither accurate nor authoritative. My views on Obama are well known. I’ve explained them in a series of five columns.

Britain forced to fly in foreign doctors to fill in physician gaps
American Thinker "What happens to doctors under nationalized health insurance?They become like any union and negotiate for more money while working less.

A WARNING LETTER TO AMERICA
UpPompeii "I am writing this letter to you in the hope that I can draw to your attention the dangerous route your country is taking, I am naught but an ordinary Englishman who is seeing the danger signs springing up in the country where my children live, below is what I see happening in America, and I would not like to see the USA going down the same disastrous route that the UK has been taken by its government."
Abortion: Which Side Is Fabricating?
FactCheck.org "Obama has said in the past that "reproductive services" would be covered by his public plan, so it’s likely that any new federal insurance plan would cover abortion unless Congress expressly prohibits that.

Private plans that cover abortion also could be purchased with the help of federal subsidies."
Picturing The Enemy
IBD "Has there ever been a more outrageous trading of places? Those behind the attacks that murdered thousands are now the victims? And the courageous U.S. government officials who grilled them for the purpose of preventing further terrorist attacks are now the villains?"
