Say It Ain’t So, Rove

So apparently “The Architect” Karl Rove bought into Obama’s attempted politicization of his dying mother’s experience arguing with insurance companies:

He had the night’s emotional high point when he talked about his dying mother fighting her insurer over whether her cancer was a pre-existing condition.

I know the night wasn’t rife with tear-jerking sentiment, but does a guy who reveals he stood by and let his dying mother battle insurance companies really get to lay claim to the emotional high point of the debate? Should I really sympathize with Obama, a man who failed to insulate his mother from the stress and frustration of dealing with insurers during some of her final weeks on this earth?

Obama might believe that health care is a right, but playing the cancer card isn’t, and it’s time to call him on it.
