I wonder if it would by OK with conservatives if the Obama's had a pregnant teenage daughter? Illegitimacy seems OK only if you're white.
I've had enough of old white guys - my current dream ticket is Barak Obama AND Sarah Palin - it all seems to come down to East (Obama/Biden: economy sucks, we'll do better) VS West (McCain/Palin: everything's fine) - I'm voting for Obama because he doesn't have a pedigree like John Sidney McCain III or George Walker Bush, etc AND he a progressive who want's to sunset/abolish obsolete Govt programs.
Think of it - David Mamet meets Steven Sondheim
This sounds like the snowbird senior retirees back home in Florida who ask “why should I have to pay local taxes for schools when I already put my kids thru college? (best answer is that schools are cheaper than prisons)
The responsible thing would be to have phased pay-as-you-go coverage starting at the ends of the actuarial population distribution by including the elderly with primary care for the very young (under school age) to even out the risk and cost.
