Healthcare Reform
Obama needs to focus on fixing Medicare and Medicaid. Once those are running as “model healthcare programs”, then he can open them up to cover the LEGAL citizens who are not covered as needed. That’s “reform” in my book. Fix what’s broken and leave the rest alone. Dammit.
I don’t need any “studies” and it doesn’t take 1000+ pages to explain it. It’s a 3 point bill:
1. Fix Medicare.
2. Fix Medicaid.
3. Add whoever cannot afford healthcare on their own to Medicaid on a sliding scale basis.
I’ll tell you something else. I am getting really sick of being called names by these primadonna politicians. THEY work for US! None of them seem to get that and this business of talking on their cell phones, looking at their watch…or some who are refusing to even have town hall meetings…is just an insult to the people who elected them. Even if they didn’t vote for them, they still should be open to the people they SERVE. It’s PUBLIC SERVICE! ALL American politicians SERVE the PEOPLE!!!
And yes, the anger is about Healthcare reform. And YES, we have a right to speak out on this issue. WE are the people. I am not a mobster, I am not a terrorist. But, yeah, I am pretty hacked off. They are not being transparent, they are not being honest and I am really sick of this prince and princess attitude that all the politicians, from the top down, seem to have copped. Get over yourselves, folks.

A Stunning and Amazing List
Sometimes I do love an e-mail forward. Not always…but today, yeah.
Our “Cool Clown” in Washington. Now. Don’t you be too critical. A stunning and amazing list of accomplishments:
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have shrugged it off?
Had George W. Bush given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, in exchange for a thoughtful and historic gift from Mr. Brown, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had gifted the Queen of England with an iPod containing videos of his own speeches, would you not have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have been incensed?
Were George W. Bush to have visited Austria and made an inane reference to the non-existent “Austrian language”, would you have brushed it off as an insignificant slip?
If George W. Bush had staffed his cabinet and circle of top advisers with persons who cannot or do not keep current on their income taxes, would you have been OK with that?
If George W. Bush had been so unbelievably ignorant of Mexican history and the Spanish language as to clumsily and nonsensically refer to Mexican Independence Day – Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) as “cinco de cuatro” (fifth of four) in the presence of the Mexican Ambassador, and continue to flub it when trying to recover from the gaffe, would you have merely winced in embarrassment and shrugged it off?
Had George W. Bush miss-spelled the word “advice”, would you have hammered him incessantly as was Dan Quale for spelling “potato” “potatoe”, and cite this as proof he’s a dunce?
Had George W. Bush burned 9,000 gallons of air polluting jet fuel to go on a Midwestern photo op and plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have said he’s a hypocrite?
If the Bush administration had okayed Air Force One with fighter escort flying low and unannounced over millions of people in downtown Manhattan while stirring widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?
Had George W. Bush been the first President to need a teleprompter to get through a press conference, would you have seen this as proof of how inept he is? And would you also suspect his words were actually those of someone behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief to flood victims in the Midwest where more people were killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you have fashioned it into an ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush, in an unprecedented government intrusion into the private sector, and completely without the constitutional authority to do so, dared “fire” the CEO of a corporation, would you have acquiesced?
Had George W. Bush in his first year proposed to double a national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, would you have gone along?
And if George W. Bush then proposed to double the debt again in a few years, would you have questioned the wisdom of such a course of action?
If George W. Bush had degraded by 90% your own retirement plans holdings in GM stock, and at the same time given the UAW a majority stake in GM, effectively giving ownership over to the union, would you have accepted that?
If George W. Bush, after telling Americans “it is time to sacrifice”, had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly Laura to New York City for dinner and a Broadway play on the taxpayer dime, would you have called him a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush, after stating he didn’t have all the facts, had injected himself into a civil matter, claimed a police officer “acted stupidly” in doing his job and then had a beer party at the White House to smooth it all over would you have thought it was a great “teaching moment” in our Country’s history?
Yes. That really IS a stunning list of accomplishments.
So, tell me again, what exactly is it about Obama that you consider evidence of his brilliance, competence, diplomacy, and leadership?
Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. Obama’s done all the above in his first 7 months — so you have three years and five months to come up with something.
And I am sure there’s stuff missing from this list…Lord only knows what we’ll be able to add in the next 3.5 years.
A round on Barry!
Really? “Let’s just get together and have a beer at the White House and talk this thing out…“ Really?
I get so weary of some black folks thinking they have the the only discrimination issue in this country or any other country, for that matter. They claim they want to be treated like everyone else, but what they actually want is to be treated special. Better than anyone else. Because of a wrong they never suffered. Their ancestors, yes. And I? Didn’t do it. No one who is alive today owned slaves.
But let’s be real. People face discrimination every day. Fat people and smokers probably more than ANY race. I keep hearing about how obesity is costing the country so much money. Smokers are costing us so much money. But I am fat and I cost no one anything. I pay for my own health insurance, and I do my best to stay healthy. I don’t have diabetes, and my insurer pays more for my allergies than my high blood pressure…which btw, my skinny mom had, too. So, genetics, maybe?
Do gays face discrimination? Yes. People with disabilities? Yes. Pregnant women? Yup. White men? Incredibly, yes. Homeless people? Muslims? The elderly? Heck, yes.
Poor folks have the most health care issues…because they can’t afford preventative care, they can’t afford anything but processed food and they are uneducated, so they don’t know how to change that. Do people discriminate against the poor? You betcha. Are they on TV every day complaining about it? Nope.
So, I’m wondering…is Obama going to buy folks a beer every time he sticks his foot in his mouth, offends someone or bungles something up? Cuz if that’s the case, we are ALL gonna be at the White House when he figures out what a ginormous mistake he has made on this health care bill.
I’ll have an MGD 64. You know…cuz it’s light beer and I don’t want to cost anyone more money. I wanted to put my order in, so Gibbs can go get it when my call comes. Not if…just…when.
Finally…
…something to laugh at. It’s been a long week. Might be a longer 4 years. We’ll see. In the meantime, a funny in the e-mail:
Barrack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey were flying on Obama’s private plane.
Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, ‘You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.’
Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, ‘I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.
Michelle added, ‘That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.’
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, ‘Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of their rear ends out of the window and make 56 million people very happy.’
If you’re one of those 56 million, pass this on!!!
After listening to 8 years of Bush bashing, this could be fun.
E-mail about Obama…
Got this in e-mail…pretty good points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS STRAIGHT:
HIS FATHER WAS A KENYAN, MOSLEM, BLACK- WE HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF HIS AFRICAN “FAMILY”
HIS MOTHER IS A KANSAN, ATHEIST, WHITE-
WHERE ARE THE PICTURES OF HIS KANSAN, WHITE MOTHER AND HIS WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO RAISED HIM.
HIS FATHER DESERTED HIS MOTHER AND HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG AND WENT BACK TO HIS FAMILY IN KENYA
HIS MOTHER MARRIED AN INDONESIAN MOSLEM AND TOOK HIM TO JAKARTA WHERE HE WAS SCHOOLED IN A MUSLEM SCHOOL
HIS MOTHER RETURNED TO HAWAII AND HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE KANSAN GRANDPARENTS
HE LATER WENT TO THE BEST HIGH DOLLAR SCHOOLS…HOW?
HE LIVES IN A $1.4 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE THAT HE ACQUIRED THROUGH A DEAL WITH A WEALTHY FUND RAISER…HOW?
HE “WORKED” AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO. HAS NEVER HELD A PRODUCTIVE JOB. THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHTS POST NOR IS IT SUBJECT TO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SET ASIDES.
HE ENTERED POLITICS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEN THE NATIONAL LEVEL WHERE HE HAS MINIMAL EXPERIENCE.
HE IS PROUD OF HIS “AFRICAN HERITAGE” BUT IT SEEMS THAT HIS ONLY AFRICAN CONNECTION WAS THAT HIS AFRICAN FATHER GOT A WHITE GIRL PREGNANT AND DESERTED HER. I DIDN’T KNOW THAT SPERM CARRIED A “CULTURAL” GENE. WHERE IS THE PRIDE IN HIS WHITE CULTURE?
HE GOES TO A “AFROCENTRIC” CHURCH THAT HATES WHITES, HATES JEWS, AND BLAMES AMERICA FOR ALL THE WORLDS PERCEIVED FAULTS.
AND THEN REPEATEDLY COVERS UP FOR THE PASTOR AND THE CHURCH.
HE CLAIMS THAT HE COULD NOT CONFRONT HIS PASTOR BUT HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN CONFRONT NORTH KOREA AND IRAN…YEAH, RIGHT!!!
YEAH, I THINK I SEE HOW HE COULD BE A UNITER AND BRING US TOGETHER, I THINK THE HOPE IS THAT HE HOPES NO ONE WILL PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER.
