You would think by now that Barack H. Obama would take a little break from his travels, and give the teleprompters a well deserved rest, but no, the chance to really stick that change thing to the American people, is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
For some delusional reason he seems to think that this health care plan is really going to help this country, can’t see how this can be if it is going to throw us into a debt that we may never recover from.
Aside from the debt, the scarier part is the total disregard for the majority of the American people and the United States Constitution, which he swore to uphold, but I digress (I always wanted to say that).
Obama’s version of the Constitution;
In his March 15 campaign stop in Ohio, a person in the audience shouted “we need courage!” “We need courage,” Obama shouted back, to applause from the crowd. “Did you hear what somebody just said? That’s what we need. That’s why I came here today. We need courage.”
Well Mr. President, yes, courage itself is a good thing, but not at the expense of overriding the Constitution, or the will of the people and for sure not to pass something in order to make sure you and your gang of socialists look good. When are you going to have the balls to admit that you are pushing too hard and this is bad for our country.
Some Obama quotes from Monday;
“It’s about a woman who’s lying in a hospital bed who just wants to be able to pay for the care she needs”.
This woman you speak of is in that hospital bed is getting the care needed, there are already sources in place to help people like this, with a little help and even at a fraction of the cost of your health care bill, there probably is a way to help her financially.
“You know, in the end, this debate is about far more than politics,” the president told the Ohio crowd. “It comes down to what kind of country do we want to be”.
If this is part of your change thing, we don’t want it! Our country can do well enough as it is and our government is too big, and is in too many areas of our lives as it is already. There are smaller incremental ways to address present health care issues, which you have ignored.
“It’s been such a long time since we made government on the side of ordinary working folks…”
I would venture to say that your ‘ordinary working folks’ are labor unions which only comprise of about 12.3 % of the population, and you haven’t a clue of the many self-employed people that are being hurt in this economy in addition to your 10 % plus un-employment rate.
We know where you ‘stood’ for the ‘American people’ when those big union guys showed up at the white house (actually frequent visitors) in January and came out with the special deals on deferring taxes on government unions’ policies until 2018. Most union people I know are the best paid and have the best benefits as it is already.
Obama invoked Natoma Canfield, whose insurance premiums became so unaffordable that she had to give up coverage. Canfield was diagnosed with leukemia on March 13, and now she is “racked with worry” about how she’ll pay medical bills, as well as concerned about her health,
If you would focus on the economy, and get oppressive government regulations (state and Federal) policies out of the way, offer tax saving incentives to all business and workers, big and small, fix the smaller portions of health care, and fix medicare, we all would be in better shape.
The economy will pick up and more people will be able to afford some sort of insurance and people like Natoma Canfield will get help through medicare / medicaid which is there if someone goes on disability. This is probably what is going to happen for her anyway. I’m sorry for her diagnosis, but Mr. Obama, cut it with the sob stories.
While these things I mention here are the obvious day to day stuff and talking points, the thing I fear the most in addition to the cost of this underhanded, vote now, fix later bill, is the growth in size, and the control that our federal government will have over the rights of the citizenry, foisted upon them, to which there will be no return. The very form of government that our founding fathers feared.
“No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. So governments’ programs, once launched, never disappear….
Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth”.
……Ronald Reagan “A Time For Choosing “
To you I ask Mr. Obama, who’s side are you on? you’re not on mine.
