Humpin’A Man!
Barack Obama is considering going on national television, again, this time telling the American people that he intends on taking “back” the health care plans from congress. That he has a new strategy and a revised bill that will work. You see, he handed the entire project over to congress to come up with a plan that would suit America’s needs, then of course he’d jump in and take all the credit. Obviously his first mistake was handing ANYTHING over to congress to solve. Those morons in Washington can’t make ANYTHING work, much less something as important as health care. And I have absolutely no confidence that Mr. Obama can handle the job himself…so far he has shown nothing that he can point to and say it works, or is working. Well unless of course he wants to point to bringing our deficit into the trillions. He can if he wants because that much is true.
No president has ever…ever, had congress draw a bill from the start. The president is supposed to hand congress his plan, his bill after he’s completed it and at that time congress will argue what they like and want, and what they don’t like and don’t want. That’s how it has always worked in this country. Congress can try and rework a bill but the president of course has veto power if he doesn’t like the changes made. I guess when Obama said that he wanted to change the “status-quo” in Washington, he meant this way. Had he not realized already that this congress has so far failed at everything its attempted? I find it interesting that at this point Obama realizes that he has to devise a new strategy if he wants to sell the American people on the idea of national health care. I’m pretty sure it’s too late to sell us on much of anything at this point.
This country wasn’t designed, or drafted around a socialistic kind of system. A democracy doesn’t allow for having certain groups foot the bill for other groups through the use of higher taxes. Taxation without representation was the catalyst that began the Revolutionary War. I have no problem with Canada or Great Britain or France having their national health care system. If it works for the people than good. And for those detractors of foreign health care….well, nothing’s perfect; and anything we might come up with certainly isn’t going to be perfect. And poor American’s want, no, demand perfection. As a society we expect the best in everything, and a working and fair, non-deficit increasing, national health care program won’t be any different.
So…when all goes sour, and it is now because this big national controversy is exactly what Obama did not want. Will he then realize the mistake he’s made? He was hopeful that we the people would turn a blind eye and just drink the koolaide, and that his liberal buddies in the senate would scoot a bill through. Then the deed would be done, then we’d have King Barack Obama! The man that finally brought nationalized health care to the American people! Unfortunately Mr. Obama cannot get any Republican support for anything in the bills, although he says he’s been trying to garner bipartisanship…that’s not so. That’s a lie, he knows it, Republicans know it, and Nancy Pelosi herself knows it. It’s important for Obama to get Republicans on board so in the event the bill passes, and then fails the people, he can blame it all on the Republicans. Which is what he does quite well, and everything is also Fox News’ fault, and that of Rush Limbaugh.
But mostly it would be George W. Bush’s fault. Everything that’s wrong here is Bush’s fault. Barack Obama is blaming Bush for things that have taken place after he left office. Liberals spent so much of their time blaming Bush for this and that, fabricating things when all else failed, and so it’s a mindset. If something is going wrong while the Democrats are at the helm…it will most assuredly be George Bush’s fault; they’ll find a way to make it so. Finally….Obama’s job approval ratings are so in the tank. It’s taken him 8 months to get into the low 40’s overall. And Americans are sick and tired of the guy jumping in on prime-time television to dribble on about stuff that no one understands. Those poll numbers are even lower than his job numbers, and it’s a sure bet that if he does go on prime-time TV next week, he’s going to turn the people so off that he’ll be virtually shut down, and come November of 2010, he’ll lose his majority in both the house and the senate. Then it’ll really suck to be him….
