I CRUCIFIED HEALTH CARE:

Health Care Rising: Obama's end game for passing health care reform. (John Dickerson, March 2, 2010, Slate)

If Barack Obama has his way, health care reform will be completed by Easter. That's fitting for a bill that was born on Christmas Eve, died, and that the president hopes will rise again. It's also a story that, like the resurrection of Jesus, calls on its adherents to take a leap of faith into the unseen. In Obama's case, he is selling the not-so-Biblical proposition that people will like health care reform that they don't appear to like right now.

The problem is that Obamessiah's party members are likely to be as steadfast as Christ's disciples were on His way to the Cross.
