Paglia and Ponnuru on Health Care Debacle

I always enjoy how Camille Paglia (Liberal? Democrat/Libertarian?) seems to have no compunction about slice and dicing her own party, including the venerable Barack Obama. Of course she's equally brutal on the Republicans, but that goes without saying. Here she goes again, this time on health care....you go, girl.

Too Late for Obama to Turn it Around?
(Salon)

And here's Ramesh Ponnuru from National Review skewering Obama et al on the flat out lies they're telling about health care reform, all the while accusing Republicans of spreading misinformation.

Obama's False Witness
(NRO)

I agree with Ponnuru's concluding paragraph:

Americans have increasing doubts about President Obama’s agenda but generally like him as a person. They consider him honest and trustworthy, and give him the benefit of the doubt. As the health-care debate continues, it becomes less and less clear that Obama deserves that trust.
