Obama is a Con Man

     Sorry, Mr. President, your televised health care summit didn’t work, the majority of Americans saw it for what it was, an effort to shift blame for lack of a comprehensive health program onto the shoulders of the Republican party. They also saw it as an effort to pass a law that requires every American to buy health insurance or face a stiff fine. I don’t know about anyone else but I can’t afford health insurance much less the proposed fine. During his campaign, he promised affordable health care for every American, he didn’t say that he intended to turn over the industry to a bunch of profit-hungry executives with power to deny benefits if they are too expensive.

     Thousands of words have been written about Death Panels, doctors on the payroll of health care who would have the power to decide who dies and who lives; hint: they only want healthy policy holders. If I’m reading the news correctly, and I can read and comprehend, that’s exactly what will happen if the present health care reform passes, irregardless of the spin put on it by the White House. The panel can deny benefits, treatments, drugs and necessary surgeries to anyone who exhibits any sign of a serious medical condition. That is not health care reform but genocide.

     In my humble opinion, the only one that matters to me, this administration has lost sight of right and wrong and has let dollar signs blind them. They forget that the American taxpayer are the ones who has to pay for this reform and right now, we’re more interested in paying rent, buying groceries, putting clothes on our backs and just surviving what the democrats are throwing at us each day. It is not pretty what the average American has to endure each day while watching Congress, with their $178,000 salary, stick it to us. Obama is already assured of a fat advance for his books when he leaves office, it can’t be too soon for me, and every action he takes is just another chapter in that book.

     In his first year in office, Obama has expanded the wars in the Middle east, put us $14.3 trillion in debt, driven us into a recession and divided the nation. Not too shabby for a one-termer in his first year. I shudder to think of what the next three years will bring. If we’re lucky, the Republicans will band together and throw a lease on him before its too late. Obama doesn’t have the bullet-proof Congress he once had, for a very short time, and his whelms won’t automatically be passed, no matter how much pressure he brings to bear. At least some of Congress are seeing what he’s doing and resisting, as are the American people. The democrats can it see as well, that their political lives are on the line come election day and having Obama standing by their side isn’t a plus any longer.

     America is in a silent revolt against those they see as the enemy, not as their elected representatives; its 300 million against 100 and the odds are long that our memories are short.
