Red pill vs. the Blue pill

Its almost like the blue state / red state thing.
Here's an article about Obama's health care speech the other night. Obama tried making an analogy that was epic fail:

"If there's a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price for the thing that's going to make you well?" -- President Obama

In last night's press conference, President Obama seemed to be reliving that famous scene from The Matrix. The main character is offered a choice between a red pill that makes him see reality for what it is, and a blue pill that allows him to continue living in a pleasant world of illusions.


I think that the Matrix got it right. Obama wants us to swallow his blue pill.
