Is Obama doing a good job? (410)

Stouts are good!

He's got his work cut out for him, thats for sure

Come on Jvanski, we are not bashing President Obama.....just tickling his feet some. The real bashing is going on at the
town halls.....where the DEMs leaders that support him are folding
like a house of cards in their aurguements on health care.

Have you listen to some of their replies to legit questions from the town hallers, Jvanski? I watch a man whose disabled son was in a wheelchair sitting in front of him....ask one of them.....why they were going to take his son's medical insurance programs away.

When the DEM said OH NO that is not going to happen. The father
pointed out just how private insurance companies could not compete with a gov't insurance plan. The DEM then did not say a word.

Jvanaski....you build houses, like the idea of gov't setting up a construction firm in your town? One that has buying power and marketing advantage over you? Can offer lower prices AND regulate
the where houses and when houses are built? Or would you consider that a UNFAIR government activity that likely would dramatically alter your business and your income? Think that pretty soon, you would be out of the house building business

I don't hear whining and whimpering Jvanski.....but a lot of angry people.

Des, we would just like to have someone running it. Even President Obama now is saying...."I inherited a mess and I don't mind cleaning up". Well then do it. Reform the system and fix that broken Washington.(Reminding me alot of McCain's reform position there).

But OH NO. The problem is out there grass land America. Where those private insurance companies are. Were the that gun tottin, bible thumbin American is. Were that elderly person with limited and set income is. Where that Dr. who has give his adult working life to the medical treatment of his community is.

See what Obama has done with nationalized health care...is to focus the ills of the country on main street America....not those failing banks, those money grapping mega insurance companies, not those seedy backroom dealing Washington policitians. But good old main street America is what he feels is broken.

But Des, during the election.....good main old street
America......was were was then Senator Obama was eating pies, and buying lunches, and having beers, and kissing babies. Because he needed good old America votes.

Des, you want to know how broken Washington is?

:-)When Bill Clinton went to NKorea to get the two reporters out of the country, he did not use a FEDERAL Government jet. Though the
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has over a 1000 corporate jets and just bought 8 more. No, former President Clinton, who was on government business and government for this, used a supporter and donator private aircraft.

Why is that?

Because the President Obama administration was so concerned about the public opinion of the back door talks that had emerged over this with the NKoreans...they did not want it to appear that this was a US Government sponsored mission... Or... they simply did not want former President Clinton (husband of Sect. Clinton) to be seen in a FEDERAL Government Jet with that big old American Flag near the doorway....and all those pics that would have been taken with a Clinton standing in the doorway (with two Asian American women coming out of a NKorean prison) of a American flagged aircraft in NKorea doing a humanitarian mission..Or...those budget problem they got are so big that they did not have the funds for this trip.

Maybe all of them, yes?

DES, Washington is that broken and twisted........but President Obama to keep status quo and his agenda going.....needs to have
the focus on main street America. That is why Heath care is being pushed so hard today.

I will give you another example of broken and twisted Washington, Des. This time directly to the health care debate.

The Senate version of the Health Care bill is coming from Senator Kennedy's desk. Sen. Kennedy, as we all know, has terminal brain cancer. But he also has a very good small group policy that was written by Congress for Congressmen and their families.

Now none has asked the good Senator, if he would trade his present gov't health care plan for this new National Health care plan for the American people. But they are asking that question to the
DEM leaders in these town hall meetings.

Yep, the town hallers are asking them if they would trade that special preferred planned that they drafted and legislated specifically for themselves several years ago......for this all covering plan that all Americans can have.

Guess what the answer is??

Well we have a small group plan that is fine for Congress and that is being drafted into the legislation, that you can keep your existing health care.

So in other words, the DEMs leaders in Congress....drafted a health care plan....that they would not participate in, but it is good enough for the old American people. Talk about being elitist and egotistical! Here this good enough for you, but we will keep our prefer status as Congressmen and Senators. Were we can walk into Walter Reed show a little gov't health care card....and go to the front of the line over wounded veterans and get treatment.

I am sorry Des, I go to the emergency room or a Doctor office....I sit and wait in line for treatment. I don't get preferred treatment. Nor will these 40 million uninsured Americans that this National Health care plan covers. They will wait in line as well.

But our good old Senate/Congress led by DEMs will have prefferred treatment. The reason, I am pointing this at the DEMs? Even thought REP were part of writing the original government health care plan. Today, it is the DEMs that are writing this legislation and cannot or will not include themselves in it.

And it is President Obama....and his White House....that handed health care legislation drafting to Polosi and Reid to push thru.
He is taken a hands off in the drafting of this....because he knows it is politically explosive. If it explodes, our good President will only get some shell frags, and not be badly injured. Oh he has used the bully publit to push it....and done his share of demonizing the opposition for small smile and giggles. But if it goes bad....it is on Reid and Polosi and DEM Congress.

I would like to see someone ask Senator Kennedy this question. If he would trade his present health care for the one that his aid and DEM leaders are pushing. I doubt anyone will. But those DEM Senator and REP need to find a better answer.

I could buy into health care coverage for 40 million that don't have it. If it was quality package. But this refusal to change over the leaderships plan to it, is telling me that it not a quality package.
