Health Care Summit: a Waste of Time

I suppose some kind of case can be made that by showing up just how unreasonable and obstructionist the Great Obstructionist Party actually is, the public will be influenced to support Democrats and Health Reform. But, frankly, I doubt it will have much of that kind of effect. Otherwise, the "Health Care Summit," underway at this writing, seems to me to be a monumental waste of time, and potentially even counterproductive. These people will offer nothing, and will merely grandstand and pander to their propaganda-addled followers. By listening to this grossly deceitful nonsense respectfully, the President accomplishes little beyond giving them yet another forum for their propaganda and lies.
