Ms. "Exhibit A" is a perfect example of a shill.

"A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services or a political group, who pretends no association to the seller/group and assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer. The intention of the shill is, using crowd psychology, to encourage others unaware of the set-up to purchase said goods or services or support the political group's ideological claims. Shills are often employed by confidence artists. The term plant is also used." -Wikipedia and others.

I think "confidence man" is a perfect definition of our president.

As truth about PBO's healthcare program comes out, more people are starting to realized that they are being sold a bill of goods that will not live up to what they expect. Look for an increasing angry backlash against efforts socialization of medical care.

The most important factor of this healthcare discussion was that it was staged. The problem at hand is the fact that it's acting as a gateway for the government to control more of our freedoms. The poem, "First They Came…" attributed to Pastor Martin Niemoller, makes a statement providing a much broader view of what our nation is becoming. Staging such a scene in order to convince others of this "great idea" is disgusting!
