The healthcare reform proposal President Obama has made his priority carries no constituent support at all. Despite the obvious reaction to returning to the drawing board, (an act some people believed was what he was doing when he scheduled a bipartisan summit) Obama’s administration and members of his majority party has decided to shove it down the nation’s throats. With the help of Obama going as far as to postpone a trip to help pushing it to pass, is there any other reason this man is a one term President? With a prospective and supposedly “historic” passing of something Americans and many legislators have declared a fiscal time bomb (the best estimates are a cost of over $2.5 trillion), President Obama is literally refusing to listen to his real bosses: The American people. Further, there is literally nothing off limits when it comes to passing this through the system and on the law books. From selling judicial seats to now using reconciliation, this “we know best” administration is resorting to trickery and bribery for a political objective that will cost the nation they were charged to lead and assist more than they have as well as threaten more futures than they could ever think of helping. Already they have come to the greatest of extents to approve something that will follow Obama and his cronies for the rest of their political career like a dark shadow. Nonetheless, Obama’s legislative sidekick, Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the collection of lacking legislators will work “as long as it takes” to pass this. Enough is enough, they have gone too far. More and more, this administration is looking like the same dictatorship our forefathers warned us about. It threatens not only the fiscal health of the country but gives yet another pass to the illegal alien. Although these trespassers will be covered by this plan, they will not carry the financial burden of its cost as they do not pay the taxes which will be increased. Already, they have been receiving health assistance on the American’s dime. Only now, we are going to pay more for their health coverage and still receive no financial payback until they register legally. Already illegal aliens have been receiving healthcare on the American tax dollar. Judicial Watch reported in 2007 “Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Diego and Indiana are among the cities where Mexican consulates operate the health referral system which annually costs U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars.” Wait a minute, wasn’t this the President who wanted to support immigration? In fact, then candidate Obama addressed the 2008 National La Raza Conference promising he would pass so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform.” Yet he is rewarding the illegal aliens with an incentive of more free healthcare if they cross our borders. You tell me: Why would one immigrate legally when he receives even more (not to mention free) healthcare assistance for coming illegaly? However, this shouldn’t be to surprising to us. In February he expanded the life of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), loosening eligibility requirements for legal immigrants and their children and easing the requirements needed to use fake Social Security cards to apply for benefits. Not to mention obviously making it harder for them to be caught. Michelle Malkin stated, “Immigration activists see the provisions as first steps toward universal coverage for illegals.” Immigration and illegal immigrant assistance are two different ball fields and although once upon a time he said he was on the first field, his recent actions show he‘s actually on the latter. Obama is not a friend of the American; in fact I don’t see him as a friend of anyone but himself and the needs of his party. There is nothing in this plan which in any way assists the nation. If anything it hurts the ones that need the most help, now more than ever. If we don’t somehow cough up this Obama coated pill, we will are in for some expensive aftermaths. Chief of Staff?

I would like to begin this article with a well known story of our President’s most trusted advisor: “At a Little Rock restaurant, soon after Mr. Clinton is elected president, Mr. Emanuel, ticking off a list of what he thought were disloyal Democrats and other political enemies, stabs the table with his knife and screams, ''Dead!'' after each name.” Listing people on his side for being “disloyal” and pronouncing them not even having the right to lead shows one thing: Rahm Emanuael is a disgrace to the White House. The White House is a building that is set to stand for the stature and strength of our national government has been tarnished by his disregard for anything other than flailing around his power and threatening whomever does not believe in him and his supervisor. One thing I loved about President George W. Bush is that he listened to the best minds, no matter what their political beliefs or affiliation because, in the end, it was what was best for the country and not his ego that mattered most. Obama, obviously missing that memo, has allowed a doctorial megalomaniac to enter the West Wing. Emanuel has crossed so many boundaries, yet has gotten no punishment from his supervisor. What does he need to do to get the negative response he deserves? From calling members of his own side of the aisle “F-ing retarded” to invading legislators’ personal space (not to mention crossing areas within the Capitol Hill property,) this man has stepped over every limit that has been placed. More importantly, he has not impacted any positive “change” which he and his fellow Administration members promised us once upon an election. The most incredible thing is the track of apology. While Special Olympics chairman and CEO Tim Shriver, who recently launched a campaign to end the use of “the R word” deserved an apology, What about the public as a whole? How about an apology for disrespecting our government? Where is our apology? I don't know about you, but I would like it in the form of Emanuel's resignation letter. Because to me, this has gone past the “brash personality” which he was once known for. Emanuel is now a risk to the future of America. He needs to resign...now. 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. Obama Knew all...and Did Nothing 06/21/2009
From day one of the spill, we have seen that it has left more than tragedy and waste in its path but also a magnifying of exactly what our White House holds: Zero real leadership and continuous degradation of the U.S. Constitution. While many political experts have said time and time again that our Commander is no more a leader than Kim Jong-il is a fan of freedom, the American people are experiencing this first hand. Before the spill, we saw ourselves with a President who, knowing that there were challenges when it came to oil rig safety, still lifted a moratorium and attempted to swipe the words “Drill Baby Drill” from the Right Wing leaders. Saying it was not a decision he made lightly, he went forward with the plans. Americans, who were rightly tired of the reliance on foreign oil, breathed a sigh of relief not only for the oil but to have seen an act from the most inactive President. Then we saw the explosion and things changed within seconds. After the tragedy, the nation waited for some form of response from the man who said he was a citizen’s leader. While a horrific and tragic oil spill, Obama continues accusing everyone but himself for any if at all blame for the damage, death and destruction. Finally, we have the administration strong-arm the BP companies for money many affected Americans probably won’t see for nothing other than another piece of the American corporate pie, and now we are left with the largest boom regarding this news event ever. Barack Obama, who has consistently attempted to keep any bit of the oil spill off of what he actually believes is an untarnished presidency, was told about “issues” in April by Energy and Climate Policy Director Carol Browner regarding the BP spill earlier than any strong action occurred from the Governmental entity. In fact, not only were impacting related events involved in the discussion, but also the pending damage that would occur in the near to distant future and how hard it would be to plug up the hole left by the explosion. After being told he was told that no repair such as a cap of this type has ever been done and would pretty much need to be created independently, action was required but denied. So far, the response has been nothing more than a “fund”, families wondering how they are going to survive as their financial resource turns black and an Oval Office Speech that not only made the President a joke but also the American People. Throughout every situation regarding this challenging national event, we are being watched and as we see our President discuss and work on everything but BP. Hence, a CEO on a yacht is the least of our worries. We should not just be asking BP questions but also our own President. We are his employees and frankly his progress report would get any usual employee fired. |
