Last week was health care week. I don't blame you if you missed it. I did too. But now that I'm finally catching up with it, I'm really confused. You see, the president gave his big health care speech at the national headquarters of Wendy's. That's right, Wendy's. The place that recently rolled out a 1,000-calorie cheeseburger. Obesity is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., and costs us $75 billion a year. And the President chooses a fast-food company as the place to tout his health care proposals?

Who says this administration has no sense of humor?
