In his healthcare speech before a joint session of Congress the other night, President Obama touted a letter he had just received from Ted Kennedy in which the late Lion of the Senate called for passage of health care reform.
And that clearly demonstrates the folly of President Obama lauding the efficiency of the post office in a separate healthcare speech last month.
Kennedy died on August 25. Obama said he received the letter a few days ago. Assuming Kennedy wrote the letter before he died (seems like a relatively safe assumption) that means it took ten days for the letter to get from Boston to Washington, DC despite the fact that its just 440 miles from one to the other and driving time is 7 hours and 41 minutes.
How’s that vaunted post office efficiency working for you, President Obama? Can’t wait until those guys are in charge of healthcare, too.

Can we change this headline to “UPS” instead of “Fedex” just for me? haha
I don’t think there was a letter from Ted Kennedy…I think that’s just another lie.
