OMG, this is hilarious.
You know what? I do. And not for the reasons that you might think. Sure, I felt safer and less like we were headed into a Socialist situation. There was plenty of partisan bickering then, too, so that’s not new. But, dang, did we see Bush as much in 8 years as we’ve seen Obama in one? The press corps were complaining they hadn’t seen Obama in “awhile”. Really? Cuz I see him everywhere. Every day. Speeches and speeches worth.
Anyhow, the billboard. Could be Photoshopped, but it’s not. This is actually a real sign and it was paid for by a group of small business people in Wyoming, Minnesota who feel like Washington DC is against them. I feel like Washington DC is against Americans in general. Even those that voted for them. I still feel like both sides of the aisle think they were elected to royalty instead of public service. Especially the “Commander in Chief”. He basically said today that he will do what he wants, regardless of what is decided in Congress. Really? So, basically, he is the King and we lowly subjects do not have enough sense to know what we want.
He said today that the “public soured on process…contaminated how they viewed substance”. Really? Guess what? I think we were “soured” on the substance…the pork, the idiocy, the audacity. There are some really simple things to do that cost nothing. Let’s try those first! What is wrong with allowing insurance sales across state lines as a starter? It would cost NOTHING and it would spur competition and lower prices, better coverage, more customer service. What exactly is the problem with this? It could be done in a matter of weeks. It would NOT take 2900 pages of BULLSH!T to put in place. NO one would have to be paid off to vote for it. Even better…make it a stipulation that any company that sells health insurance may NOT drop a customer due to illness and they cannot deny policies to those with pre-existing conditions. There, done. You want to be in the health insurance business, you play by these rules. Doesn’t take 2900 pages.
I wonder how it is that Washington DC is rife with people who have NO common sense at all. Oh. Maybe it’s that the people who voted them into office had none. Sure sucks when your fellow Americans vote based on a false promise of transparency and lots of free goodies from the government. Oh, wait. The free goodies are NOT from Obama…they are from you & me, the TAXPAYERS.
Yeah, I miss Bush. I coulda lived without this particular change.
