1. well

the playing field is skewed and has been for a very long time. They own the field,the umpire and the players. We now have a new team who's not throwing fast balls but changeups. The home team gets scared and wants to call the game. Obama is trying to teach them they can still play the game with some adjustments. The visiting team can't cry foul they have to play the game. Doesn't mean they can't throw a slider every now and then. So the heavy hitters come in. But even they strike out on occasions. How do you win the game? One throw at a time. Some will be caught and some will not but we're only in the first inning. Big Pharma is coming out with ads to support Obama's reform. First we win an inning then we deal with the ones who are corking their bat.

This is an AWESOME video, but the title doesn't do it justice. I would've gone with something like 'Exposing Conflict Of Interests Of Mainstream Media On Healthcare!' or something like that.

If I thought about it more I'm sure I could come up with something even better.
