These Are Obama’s Peeps

The SEIU and HCAN (Health Care for America Now) bused in activists from DE, CT, MD, MN, VA, NJ, NC, NY, OH, PA, RI to protest the AHIP insurance company conference in DC.

Doing their master’s bidding?

Obama has set the tone with speech after speech trashing the insurance companies.

Obama’s connection to the SEIU is well known, in fact SEIU leader, Andy Stern is the most frequent visitor to the White House. A recent interview question from The Cornell Daily Sun to Andy Stern, suggests who really is in charge:

…Sun: So how have you decided to pass the reform? [Ed: note the phrasing]

A.S.: The president, after a long process, has stepped in with his final set of ideas that will come out today or tomorrow. The Speaker of the House [Nancy Pelosi] is preparing the education process to get members of her party understanding the bill. And we hope, in congressional districts all over the country, to have our members go speak with their representatives — call, write, fax — to make it clear this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we can’t let it slip away.

Obama has backed HCAN since his campaign days:

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has signed on to the progressive Health Care for America Now campaign’s principles – a move that bolsters the clout of the nascent organization and could provide him with artillery support as he starts to pound the health-care issue on the presidential campaign trail.

The reviled insurance companies have become the Emmanuel Goldsteins of the Obami -  who now engage in this daily ritual of “two minutes of hatred” for them and the principles of Democracy.

It doesn’t seem healthy…
