Sarah Palin's very busy ghostwriter has another Facebook post. Raise your hand if you are surprised.

After all the rhetoric is put aside, one principle ran through President Obama’s speech tonight: that increased government involvement in health care can solve its problems.

Many Americans fundamentally disagree with this idea. We know from long experience that the creation of a massive new bureaucracy will not provide us with “more stability and security,” but just the opposite. (So creation of the EPA in 1970 has not helped to clean up our air and our water? Introducing the public school system in this country did not bring education to all American children, many of whom had never even been taught to read and write before its implementation? So the FDA has NOT helped to reduce the number of deaths caused by food poisoning in this country and made sure that our food supply is safe? And what about Social Security? Or Medicare? Are these programs that did not provide us with more "stability and security"?) It's hard to believe the President when he says that this time he and his team of bureaucrats have finally figured out how to do things right if only we’ll take them at their word.

Our objections to the Democrats’ health care proposals are not mere “bickering” or “games.” They are not an attempt to “score short term political points.” And it’s hard to listen to the President lecture us not to use “scare tactics” when in the next breath he says that “more will die” if his proposals do not pass. (Stating the facts about what will happen if we do not take action is not "scare tactics". Telling senior citizens that the program will create "death panels"? Now THAT is the very definition of "scare tactics".)

In his speech the President directly responded to concerns I’ve raised about unelected bureaucrats being given power to make decisions affecting life or death health care matters. He called these concerns “bogus,” “irresponsible,” and “a lie” -- so much for civility. After all the name-calling, though, what he did not do is respond to the arguments we’ve made, arguments even some of his own supporters have agreed have merit. (That was not "name calling". That was correcting the false impressions created by a partisan hate monger. Joe Wilson calling out "You lie" in the middle of the President's address can be characterized as "name calling". And why , oh "pretend Sarah Palin", don't you address THAT shameful act?)

In fact, after promising to “make sure that no government bureaucrat .... gets between you and the health care you need,” the President repeated his call for an Independent Medicare Advisory Council -- an unelected, largely unaccountable group of bureaucrats charged with containing Medicare costs. He did not disavow his own statement that such a group, working outside of “normal political channels,” should guide decisions regarding that “huge driver of cost ... the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives....” He did not disavow the statements of his health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, and continuing to pay his salary with taxpayer dollars proves a commitment to his beliefs. The President can keep making unsupported assertions, but until he directly responds to the arguments I’ve made, I’m going to call him out too. (In other words you will continue to be a crazed illogical detractor until the President validates you by responding to your ignorant and scurrilous claims? Don't hold your breath!)

It was heartening to hear the President finally recognize that tort reform is an important part of any solution. But this concession shouldn’t lead us to take our eye off the ball: the Democrats’ proposals will not reduce costs, and they will not deliver better health care. It’s this kind of “healthy skepticism of government” that truly reflects a “concern and regard for the plight of others.” We can’t wait to hear the details on that; we look forward to working with you on tort reform. (I am sorry, HOW is ex-Governor "I don't need a title" Palin going to work WITH President Obama on tort reform? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't she just a Facebook addicted citizen now? Since when did they get a seat at the table?)

Finally, President Obama delivered an offhand applause line tonight about the cost of the War on Terror. As we approach the anniversary of the September 11th attacks and honor those who died that day and those who have died since in the War on Terror, in order to secure our freedoms, we need to remember their sacrifices and not demonize them as having had too high a price tag. (Translation: "The high cost of the war that we have paid with young American lives, should negate the billions of dollars in money borrowed from our children and grandchildren to fund it. Or is that just crazy?" By the way, which "freedoms" were secured by our invasion of Iraq?)

Remember, Mr. President, elected officials work for the people. Forcing a conclusion in order to claim a “victory” is not healthy for our country. We hear you say government isn’t always the answer; now hear us -- that’s what we’ve been saying all along. (Yeah "forcing a conclusion to claim a victory is not healthy for our country". The healthy thing to do would be to wait another year or so, and quit, like Sarah Palin did. That certainly improved the mental health of Alaskans. Of course that is because she was the source of most of the crazy up here.)

(Okay it really seems to me that the ghostwriter is now trying to craft articles and posts that sound like they might have issued forth from Palin, if they got her medication adjusted just right. I believe they think she is almost ready to take a stab at writing her own Facebook notes and WSJ articles. Oooh the anticipation is killing me!)
