THEY BETTER NOT ACT ON WHAT I'VE GIVEN AWAY TO THEM!:

Obama warns against insurer rate increases (Harvey Morris, December 22 2009, Financial Times)

Barack Obama e-mailed grassroots Democratic activists on Monday with a message that should have sent the multi-billion dollar US health insurance business reeling.

“Insurance companies that try to jack up their rates do so at their own peril,” wrote the US president, hours after his healthcare reform plans leapt a vital hurdle in the Senate.

Reeling? It sent them into paroxysms of laughter. If the health care debate taught them anything it's that they have nothing to fear from Mr. Obama.
