Cross the river, burn the bridge

By Mark Steyn

"Last week, during a bit of banter on Fox News, my colleague Jonah Goldberg reminded me of something I'd all but forgotten. Last September, during his address to Congress on health care, Barack Obama declared:


"I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last."


Dream on. The monstrous mountain of toxic pustules sprouting from greasy boils metastasizing from malign carbuncles that passed the Senate on Christmas Eve is not the last word in "health" "care" but the first. It ensures that this is all we'll be talking about, now and forever."
