I think he spelled Mr. Mays name incorrectly, but all I had to do was punch in shamwow into wiki to get the other guy's name. Fantastic poll btw ViewFromThePeak!!

Ron Popeil.

Governement-run healthcare will "slice and dice" your benefits, and will "gouge" your pocketbook like a potato eye-remover.

"And you WOULD EXPECT TO PAY much less for this coverage, but it will cost taxpayers TRILLIONS".

"But WAIT,...there's more!!!" You don't have to make decisions about your healthcare. That will be done by some young college graduate sitting behind a desk, texting/twittering his buddies while you suffer from some major malady.

Add in listening to his/her iDork gadget and yapping over Yahoo IM and that makes a fabulous sales pitch.

Can't believe I missed the Popeil guy! Of course, he actually invented the home rotisserie if I recall correctly. The other two are just mouthpiece shills. Ron is too intelligent and resourceful to be an ABC "reporter".

The ShamWow guy obviously. I mean he and Obama have about the same experience only Obama talks a little slower (probably due to all the pot he smoked)

Ummm, try to focus! The post is about Obama, not Bush. Remember what Obama keeps reminding us, "HE WON".
