Jonathan Cohn graciously responds to my criticism of Obama. If all Obama were saying is what Cohn emphasizes–that McCain is making a mistake in advocating that people be allowed to buy insurance across state lines–I would disagree but consider it within the bounds of honest debate. But Obama is going further than that, trying to draw a parallel to banking that is ridiculous. If Obama wants to bring back restrictions on interstate banking, he should openly avow that absurd position. If he doesn’t, he’s being dishonest.
