Despite political remarks showing more than once that his Healthcare proposal was not going to be approved, President Obama recently took his plan on tour to the people. Taking the stage at Glenside of Pennsylvania, Obama attempted to talk the public into supporting his expensive and destructive proposal. There is only one problem with this scheme: The people have already thrown ObamaCare out.

I don’t understand what the thought process could have been to go to the public about something that they wouldn’t consider as even as the slightest possibility for improving their healthcare system. Making obvious comments like we need to pass “healthcare reform” somehow believing we don’t know he’s talking about his own proposal, he states that now is the time to fix this broken system.

The public knows healthcare needs work because when the plans and the costs go bad, we are the victims. We are the people holding the bag when things go awry. Sure, when things go really horrid re-elections are sometimes at risk, but the real costly results fall at the public. We are the ones searching for help when we are ill and reading page after page of the healthcare explanations while still paying bills for our care.

Further, I am proud to say that the youth of our nation, once Obama’s biggest fans are now seeing ObamaCare as what it really is: A cost-ridden mess. Despite this, Obama still seems to think we will take any reform no matter what the cost. We are dealing with a “we know best” administration that seems to believe just because they had many of us choking down whatever they said in the election that now they won the brainwashing will continue. The bad news about that is many people are waking up: We will not just take
anything…we need the real thing!

Although the RNC believes that the reason for his visit was placed on the shoulders of Senator Arlen Specter and his already failing re-election campaign, although I am not against the possibility as his re-election is already increasing in risk via polls, I think that we have on our hands a one issue President. That, my friends, is the largest risk we can have at a certain address in D.C.

 
 
Let me begin this article by stating a fact: When a Bipartisan Summit is proposed, the assumption is that both sides will sit down and EQUALLY discuss an issue. Neither side should, let’s say, post a piece of legislation on the internet or, I don’t know, request the other side to send their own proposal. This event should be an open and blank sheet that has no pre-notations or comments.

Despite proposing such an event, President Obama didn’t get the memo on what a “Bipartisan Summit” was and therefore made the exact errors I discussed and more.

Before the “Bipartisan Summit” on Healthcare, suggested by President Obama, Minority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell was on FoxNews Sunday questioning why the meeting was occurring when so many Americans were against the pending legislation deemed ObamaCare. Despite NPR polls stating over one half of the nation’s citizens were saying no to the President’s proposal, people are still coughing up the 2700 page document as its being continually shoved down their throats.

Believing the conference was to “shelve the bill and start over”, actions such as positing the legislation on the internet, (i.e. placing it in front of a public that already rejected every word of it), McConnell went on to state the realization that the actions the Obama Administration and his legislative following was “arrogance” and I could not agree more. How can an administration that praises itself on being for the people and a creator of change that the people crave be able to say to the same public, “We know more about this so you just sit there and agree”?

Today, with the legislation on the table, cries from the public and the minority are screaming for it to be shredded before it hurts someone. Cutting medicare and charging an already fiscally suffering class of people, Americans are screaming until you really do a real “Bipartisan Summit”…HANDS OFF MY HEALTHCARE!
