Just the first two sentences of this article disqualify this shill from being taken seriously. The claim that Obama "justified elevating bureaucrats over entrepreneurs" is a disingenuous straw man.Obama is not doing that. Obama's speech is a direct response to the republican party line that:

1. Taxation is bad
2. Regulation is bad
3. Unions are bad

Obama is correct in saying that no one succeeds in a vacuum. The wealthiest need the government protections, regulations and infrastructure to succeed. The fact that they enjoy these benefits, but don't want to pay for them is understandable (many of them are psychopaths), but the the rest of us should not allow them to get away without paying their fare share. This is not elevating bureaucrats, it's recognizing the legitimate power of the government and the people of a republic.

The previous treatment with ribavirin and interferon for one year had a 50% success rate. The newer six month treatment with the addition of Incivek for three months has over 75% rate. Since Incivek has only been on the market for about a year, that success rate is not as precise as it will be.

As someone who has worked in child protective services. I can tell you, as mentioned in the article; the mere accusation of being involved in child sex will ruin your life. I'm not commenting on his guilt or innocence, but look how many people were willing to believe the worst about Michael Jackson before any facts got out. I mean "the guy's successful and weird, so he must like little boys”!

I'm still waiting for the advent of the computer science groupie.
