President Obama’s healthcare summit started today – and so I found this editorial on Keith Olberman’s show last night to be particularly relevant, given the discussions that are going on in Washington right now. I know that Mr. Olberman is not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, and his anger in this piece might set some people off. But I thought his impassioned plea in the face of his own personal journey through is father’s failing health issues was genuine, and gives us all something to think about. And the point that he drives home – which I must truly agree with – is that if all of the politicians would just stop thinking like politicians for this one moment – and focus on the human beings, their fellow citizens, at the heart of this debate – they might reconsider what they’re doing – and focus on a compromise – and what is truly best for the American people.
