Emerging Left/Right Consensus

Listening to a Left, Right, Center podcast this morning. There seems to be an emerging Left/Right consensus that the Afghanistan troop surge is not a good idea and reminiscent of LBJ's 1964 surge into Vietnam (albeit for different reasons). Additionally, there seems to be another consensus that whatever the healtcare bill ends up looking like, it will be a failure. Robert Scheer even suggested waiting for the economy to recover before going after healthcare. This is a pretty obvious indication even the Left understands extending coverage will increase costs. And they also understand WE CAN'T AFFORD IT!

I guess Obama is doing a good job of bringing the country together.
