The MIT economics whiz who crafted President Obama's national health-care overhaul now plans to explain the complex and controversial plan to the masses - in one long comic book. Jonathan Gruber, a nationally recognized health economist who devised the economic underpinnings of Obamacare (Gruber hates the term), said his three comic-loving kids encouraged him to use the hip format of the graphic novel - basically an expensive comic published in book form - to tell the story of the complicated plan to 300 million Americans. Unlike most comic books, Gruber's won't have a superhero like Batman or Captain America or a villain like the Joker, he said.If us Americans weren't so simple-minded they wouldn't have to draw pictures for us so we could understand.

2900 pages times 300 words per page (low estimate) is 870,000 words. Divide by 1000 (picture's worth) is 870 pictures to explain Obamacare. At 8 picture panels per sheet--let's round to 110 sheets--that's a 220 page comic book.
Too late. Waaaaaaaaaaay too late. Before O'care was passed, that might have been OK. But the weasels wouldn't discuss it, wouldn't read it (or let it be read) before they passed it in a highly/extremely partisan manner.
My take--and many other's--they knew we wouldn't like it, and now we're so p.o.ed with them and their machinations we'll not trust them again in our lifetimes.
So...the Dems and the jackasses they rode in on. And you can quote me on that!
When Pelosi said they'd have to pass the bill to see what's in it, she was referring to the comic book that'd have to be made later.
I just hope the 'Justice League' shows up to save the day.
