           PRESIDENT'S PATRONIZING POLITICAL PARTRIDGE FAMILY

  (Mr. HOBSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOBSON. Mr. Speaker, the television generation finally put one of 
their own in the White House when they elected Bill Clinton President 
in 1992.
  It is amazing how fast the White House went into reruns.
  Just as in 1992 they have again decided to circle the buses like some 
latter-day ``Wagon Train.'' Instead of ``Rawhide'' we get ``Run-and-
Hide.'' Instead of Rowdy Yates, we get employer mandates.
  It is no wonder the administration is replaying ``The Fugitive.'' 
Support for their plan and their President has dropped so far that the 
Clinton name has become a drag on the plan. So they have decided to put 
their plan in drag.
  They have dressed it up as new, dropped the Clinton name, but kept 
all its anti-competitive, anti-employee, anti-family, and downright 
anti-American elements.
  Instead of ``Father Knows Best'' we get ``Big Brother Knows Best.'' 
Instead of facing reality, the administration runs from it.
  And so we are being treated to a patronizing, political Partridge 
Family trying to tell Americans that the government knows their health 
care needs better than they or their doctors do.
