At The Dawn Of His Administration, President Obama Opined: 'a Democracy Requires Accountability, And Accountability Requires Transparency.' Magical Rays Of White-hot Sunlight Emanated From His Media-manufactured Halo. And Then Bureaucratically Engineered Darkness Settled Over The Land.

At A Time When Democratic Leaders Are Pushing Rationed Care In A World Of Limited Resources, Americans Might Wonder Where The Call For Shared Sacrifice Is From Illegal Immigrant Patients Like Those In Los Angeles Getting Free Liver And Kidney Transplants At Ucla Medical Center. 'i'm Just Mad,' Illegal Alien Jose Lopez Told The Los Angeles Times Last Year After Receiving Two Taxpayer-subsidized Liver Transplants While Impatiently Awaiting Approval For State Health Insurance.

There Is No Other Industry That Is More Self-congratulatory And Self-delusional Than Journalism. Well, Maybe With The Exception Of Hollywood.

The Deal Looks Bad And Smells Worse.
