The Obama administration loves to implement
antiquated policies that have failed time and time again. The economy is proof positive of
that. As a matter of fact they’ve
reestablished a health care quackery that hasn’t been used since the early 19th
century.
Tobacco Smoke Enemas (1750s – 1810s)
The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke
into a patient’s rectum for various medical purposes, primarily the
resuscitation of drowning victims.
A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected
to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum.
The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote
respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the
popular phrase “blow smoke up one’s ass.”
And that’s what the Obama administration has been
doing since 2009.
