The Problem is Obama's Economic Plan IS Working

I am happy that those drunk with power set their alarm clocks so they won't sleep through another workday. In fact working all weekend sounds like a good way to catch up on the tasks at hand that have been set aside to work on the grand master plan. Unfortunately, the grand master plan is the only thing they are working on, and the health care take over is just a part of that scheme.

Ultimately, to control all Americans and every thing we do is what the liberals desire and all their legislative paths lead to that conclusion. Control what we do and what we eat and you control US, which is why health care is the vehicle toward takeover the Liberals have decided upon. Everything affects our health and add the environment on top of that and wahlaah instant Governmental control over everything and every one. Of course these little pieces of Liberty stolen from US do not add up to communist China or the U.S.S.R overnight, but how did it happen there? And why, pray tell, would anybody think it can't happen here?

Get to work on the economy, please! Most Americans neither want nor need a Nanny, so sending San Fran Nan packing would be a positive step in the right direction next fall. Barabara Boxer could go into retirement with her and then the State of California could begin to show the kind of leadership that counts, we would begin a new era of self reliance and prosperity that could never be denied. It is truly a shame that a State that is the 8th largest economy in the world is circling the drain right now and only showing the Country how to self immolate.

Leadership is what is needed above all else right now, but not to lead the people by the hand to the promised land. We need leaders to ride herd over politicians and get them to stop mucking up the recovery and let US work our way through our problems, without Government interference...

As We awaken from Our Collective Stupor

The American people seem to have found their voices in the 11th hour as the Nation stood at the cliffs edge and saw only doom with one more step forward. The news media was so in love with the thought that Barack Obama was the one to save US they gave him credit for things he had never done. The media elite wore their optimism on their sleeves his ideas were only for our countries best interests, basically, they gave him a free pass. Overlooking all his associations with anti American, anti free market Capitalists, in fact, downright Marxist apologists. Overlooking who he was deferring to in the Democrat controlled House and Senate.

So intent was Obama to re make this country he sped forward with takeovers of industry after industry, promising goodies like free health care and a paternalistic federal Government that would surround US with a great big bear hug.

Well, had Obamas first concern been jobs and creating a favorable business climate, maybe he could have stealthily snuck in and stolen our liberties. But the audaciousness of his assumption that he had a mandate to lurch to the left has woken up the sleeping giant. This country has always been center-right with a hankering toward compassion for the underprivileged and the downtrodden. We just want the economy to work and many of US are happy to take care of our own Health Insurance decisions. All the government needs to provide is a catastrophic care backstop if a public option is the only way to assure nobody gets bankrupted by a major injury/illness. Maybe all the Government needs to do is enforce laws on the books like our borders and then be the bully who controls the out of control Lawyers with a dose of Tort reform?

All I know is all along I just wanted Obama and Co. to focus on the economy first. Apparently, many others also feel this way and sooner or later the dear leader will get the memo too. Heres more evidence the tone deaf in denial just won't get it, which works for me because they are sowing the seeds for their own downfall.

Health Care Debate?

With radicals and liberals now in charge of the US Federal Government the expansion of Government was inevitable. Those who spoke truth to power now acquiesce to it. Where fighting against a conspiracy to abscond with our liberty has now become a headlong rush give it to the Government. I cannot understand where the liberal consistency is in their thought(or lack thereof) process. Instead of coming up with solutions to our myriad problems in the Health Care delivery system in this country the Democrats and their supporters in this only seem able to demonize those who disagree with them. Threats and personal attacks take the place of well informed respectful dialogue.

I have many good ideas on how we can make things better in this "debate". The Republican Party has tried to put forth some ideas as well. We can have a two tier system with the uninsured joining medicare and medicaid, and maybe even pooling all the people who cannot afford group insurance company rates. The Republicans have put forth the idea of being able to purchase the insurance across state lines thereby increasing competition and lowering prices. What about health savings accounts where you get a better rate for using less services. How about a National catastrophic care option and everybody is responsible for everything else themselves? Do we use auto insurance for oil changes? I just think there are so may opportunities to fine tune a good system and scrapping it all to punish insurance companies will only destroy anything that is good. Doctors are threatening to quit the profession if the Government steps in with mandates on pay and where they work and other things counter productive to what they feel is their right to practice Medicine the way they see works best for themselves and their families. I am not one for arguing for health insurance companies, I don't like any insurance companies, but they do perform a service that many are quite happy with. I have a real problem with somebody making profit on the health of anyone else, too. Could the answer be forcing Health Insurance companies to become not for profit? Or creating a whole new not for profit side to that industry? Those questions are reserved for sharper minds than mine. I just know that unintended consequences always crop up when people try to change something that is so large and needed by almost everybody. I think fixing the economy is much more important for the President and Congress right now than tinkering with something that is useful and working well for a majority of American families.

How about Tort reform? Obama and his buddies Pelosi and Reid haven't even contemplated that yet, due to pressure from a main Democrat Party contributor, the Trial Lawyers of AMERICA. There are just too many sacred cows the Liberals are beholden too. So find some deep pockets and make them pay for everyone? Many in this country choose not to carry health insurance many choose othjer ways to spend their money, it is still a free country. If the Government must try and control Health care let them fix and run in a responsible way that health care system they are already entrusted to run. And I repeat and the CBO agrees Medicare and Medicaid will be bankrupt, and in the not too distant future. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

The CBO estimates were put in place in 2007 and tell me what has made any of those programs better in the last 2 years? The recession? The hope and change that now infests the White House?

God help our great country.

The PreMature Exaltation

Our President has been in office for 9 months and received the Nobel Peace Prize. He was in the US Senate for little over half his first term before gaining the Presidency. Both of these accomplishments are usually gained after paying some dues, developing some worldly knowledge, and having a record that stands on its own. I am just astounded by the fawning and by the great expectations heaped upon a man with so little identifiable ability. Nowhere in Obamas known or hidden past is there any reason for anybody to think that he can live up to any of the grandiose pretension laid at his feet by people who want to believe and therefore suppress the very reality that is slapping their faces.

There are so many reasons to be embarrassed by our affirmative action President, and accepting the Nobel peace prize in advance of hoping and changing the world to peace is naive and smacks of another sellout.

Feed that Ego!

The company our President now finds himself in is indeed rarified and select. But not every peace prize winner is someone to look up to ... It seems as if the world events are egging Obama onward to the megolomania he is capable of attaining. I wonder if the Obama team is trying to go the whole 4 years of his Presidency without accomplishing anything concrete and constructive for our Nation? Things as simple as cutting taxes on businesses would jumpstart sputtering business, at least that is always how it happened in the past. But instead we will get nooses and anchors like huge new Government bureaucracies, energy taxes, and a lot of smoke and mirrors to arrange US in the order Obama sees fit.

The industrial war complex still has its power, yet the world is buttering up our President and putting him in a box. How can a "peacemaker" keep ramping up his nations war against existential enemies? He cannot if he expects to ever be the President of the "World", which seems to be the very title he seeks with every new speech and all the ways he is diminishing our Nation in front of the "World". I am starting to think of Obama as a little show pony that can be led around, indeed, one who is willing to be led around, with the cheers and adulation as his greatest reward. It scares me to no end that my family's, and our Country's, and maybe the entire free world, are all just pawns in a game of power and prestige to a narcissistic vainglorious puppet.

When All You Have is a Hammer

Every problem looks like a nail.

The Ease of Lying Is Breathtaking to Behold

I watched Obama on Stephanopolous ABC's White House Pitch and Putt just lie with an ease that frankly, made me very uneasy. Either Obama takes US all to be the biggest idiots ever, or he is an even bigger idiot. He says he didn't know Acorn was getting a lot of federal funding, I knew that before this scandal broke out. Acorn was among the most influential players that got Obama elected, he has represented them as a Lawyer, of course he knows whats going on with them. Come on Mr. President, we are not just off the turnip truck here. What an insult to the average Americans intelligence this man is. He must be counting on his supporters being uninformed or gullible, or deaf and blind.

Obama also said during the campaign he would go through the Federal budget and personally remove the waste and redundancy, so now almost 1/4 of the way through his term he is just finding out what Acorn has been getting through his own budget and stimulus? Come on Mr. Obama, the typical star struck servant(Democrat voter) may believe you, but some are immune to your spells and see right through the lies, yes LIES! Joe Wilson was speaking truth to power, you know it and I know it.

Not a big issue huh? An organization that is using taxpayer money to elect Democrats is not a big issue? Of course not. An organization under investigation in multiple states? Well... , Already known to have fraudulently registered voters? Kicked off the census and now defunded by a Democrat led House and Senate? Not a big issue? Goodness, Obama must be going insane from Soros' Kool aid.

There is something terribly wrong with this man as our President, I am starting to wonder if the Democrats might martyr him themselves, blame conservatives and hope for a race war. This is bordering on insanity, where our country is going and how quickly we will get there. Something is definitely putrid and becoming more rotten with every passing day. It seems too implausible to wrap my brain around it right now.

I only watched that video after I read the synopsis of what Obama said, I knew it was tantamount to an infomercial for his Health care/ insurance take over. Seeing him lie with such natural indifference and casual, almost tacit adroitness was alarming and sobering. I have know people who were good liars and could even fool themselves, Obama could be one of the best, ever.
