NO SHAME

The inclusion of $100 Million Dollars in the Senate Health Care Reform Bill, for Louisiana Disaster Recovery, was an obvious blatant act to bribe Louisiana Senator Landrieu. This section and any section with the same intent must be removed before any final vote. It is a clear cut example of how low and corrupt Washington has become. They no longer have any shame.

LIES AND/OR DECEPTION

It’s becoming obvious that the Obama Administration is playing a game of lies and deception. You don’t have to go far to find contradictions. Recently the media reported large discrepancies in the number of jobs created from the Stimulus Package. Closer examination found that some of the jobs were created in non existent Congressional Districts and that numerous errors were found in the calculation of jobs saved. In fact, it was found that more jobs were saved than those that existed. Was this incompetency or lies and/ or deception. Yesterday the Department of Health and Human Services came out with a report stating that women under 40 and over 75 did not need mammograms. This was immediately challenged by doctors and the medical profession. It contradicted previous studies and the fact that early detection saves lives. Can HHS support this conclusion or is it another case of lies and/or deception? Are Death Panels really dead? Recently we found that AG Eric Holder recommended holding court in New York City for 5 of the Gitmo detainees. This is a case that will put the U.S. at risk: security, cost, embarrassment, and the possibility that the detainees will walk free. Again this is a contradiction. We know that military tribunals are being held and that a criminal trial gives detainees the rights of an American citizen. I read that Holder’s previous law firm is instrumental in representing many Gitmo detainees. Wouldn’t you call this a conflict of interest? Yesterday Harry Reid walked to the podium followed by the three stooges; Durbin, Schummer and Dodd to announce that the Senate had just completed a Health Care Bill. “It is affordable and covers 96% of all Americans.” The Bill is 2047 pages. The details presented were astounding, affordable and covers almost everyone. It was completed behind closed doors, more transparency. The full Senate and the Public were to have access to read and critique this bill. Another act of lies and/or deception. I guess we can go on and on and the results would be the same, more lies and or deceptions.

Charles Krauthammer nailed it yesterday, when he stated that President Obama’s comments on the economy came after meeting with China. The President is quick to respond to China, but is deaf to the people of the U.S. Charles went further in relating this to the concept of the world order. It is becoming clear that President Obama isn’t concerned with the United States, but converting us to a part of a United World. This man with his charisma and smooth talk is slowly dismantling the U.S. He can no longer be trusted. Unfortunately the Congress continues to dance to his tune. This reminds me of the new TV series “V” were aliens where planted here to overthrow and take over the world. This may be far fetched, but the game is the same; power, lies and/or deception.

GENERALITIES OF HEALTH CARE

The Congress passed the 2000 page Health Care Reform Bill last night by 5 votes. Nancy Pelosi declared that people can finally have affordable health care. Can someone please tell me how you can boil down a 2000 page bill to a few meaningless words? It reminds me of the 2008 campaign, “Hope and Change“, words that no one challenged. Maybe it’s time to challenge what Congress means by affordable health care. What’s it going to cost me? You say it will be cheaper, how can it be cheaper. Please give me an example. You say it will cover 96% of the people, where’s the money coming from? Cheaper and covering more people, that’s very interesting. You say everyone must have insurance or pay a fine or spend time in jail. Very democratic. What if I can’t afford insurance, will you send me to jail? How does that work? You say that there is going to be a public option, but you can keep your present insurance. What choice do I have if I belong to a group and the business decides for the public option how can I keep my present insurance? You say abortion won’t be paid but provide no guarantee, how can I trust you? What else is hidden in the 2000 pages that you don’t want me to know? How are you going to cover illegal’s, what’s the catch? I know you’re going to sneak it in. There will be a life time maximum, how much? How many beauracrates will it take and cost to administer this bill? How about ending fraud and corruption? Why didn’t we have the option of going across state lines to buy insurance and what did you do about tort reform? If nothing, why?

At this point I think it’s a big game. A game of trying to win public opinion. Remember, “Hope and Change”, trust me. Don’t trust anyone and don’t believe what you read or hear. Ask questions and get as many facts as you can. It’s a political game about control and power. It’s a game about taking away my freedoms and giving them to the government. A government that can’t manage much of anything. It’s no longer common sense, its lies and deception. Why should I trust or believe in any politician?

Just remember, health care reform is going to provide everyone with affordable health care. That’s what Speaker Pelosi says and that’s what her 2000 page bill guarantees. So says Pelosi. Now if you believe all of that, step forward and buy a bottle of my Fountain of Youth Tonic.

REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH

One of Barack Obama’s objectives is to redistribute the wealth. What does he really mean by that? Does that mean that people with nothing get to have what others have worked and earned? That’s what you really call incentive and motivation. Why should I work, go to school and save so someone can come and take my endeavors. I have a suggestion to test this ideology. I just read that there are more than 200 millionaires in Congress. My suggestion is that we start by taking our representatives wealth and redistribute it to the poor. First let’s start with the President. Let’s start with his house in Chicago. Next let’s empty his bank and stock accounts. Take away his perks to free health care and give it to the poor. Let him go to a free clinic on the Southside of Chicago. Take away Air force one and let those who can’t afford airfare use it to visit friends and relatives. Let’s take all the cars and limos and raffle them off to those without cars. Let’s take away the free food and services and have Michelle cook the family meals. Once we’ve stripped the President of his wealth let’s concentrate on the Congress and Senate, the czars and cabinet members. Now I think that’s a great idea for redistributing the wealth.
