Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

After reading this I finally lost it:

Yesterday, President Obama announced America should aspire to be more like France when supplying employee benefits. The Washington Examiner reports:

“Other countries know how to do this,” Obama said. “If France can figure this out, we can figure it out.”

“Many women can’t even get a paid day off to give birth,” Obama said. “There is only one developed country in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave, and that is us. And that is not a list you want to be on, by your lonesome.”

I feel like Joseph Welch felt with Joe McCarthy.  Mr. President, you're a well educated man.  You know that raising the cost of employment reduces employment.  You know that your healthcare initiative does so because both the CBO and OMB modeled job losses.  And you know that we have a massive employment problem - one that hasn't been this big since the Great Depression.  Yet you persist in promoting 'French' solutions - the nation with perhaps the highest proportion of able bodied workers idled?

Have you no decency sir?  No regard for the human beings you are consigning to pointless dependence?  No concern for the people but only for your party and its power?  At long last sir, have you no decency?
