The Speaker of the House is on television claiming victory for all Americans with the latest Health Care Bill. How can a $900 billion dollar expenditure be a victory for everyone in this country? Polls show that the majority of people do not want government run health care. Yet President Obama and his people insist on jamming this legislation down our throats.
This administration is beyond arrogant. The organized tea parties and protests that were held across the country show that people are not on board with Obama and his plans for change. The Pelosi's, Ried's and Barney Frank's all tout that they are looking out for all Americans. It sure seems like they are looking..........for ways to have complete government control in our lives.
Everytime one of Obama's staff speaks about success the administration is having, you have to scrutinize the statement and dig to see where the truth is. The latest being that Health Care Reform is going to cost $900 billion. The real truth is the Democrats have left out an additional $240 billion that they will attach to a seperate bill and get it pushed through that way.
Enough with the smoke and mirrors. As an American I am offended that this administration believes we are inept and cannot make decisions for ourselves. This health care bill is a bad idea. We can not afford this expenditure at this time. We are so far in debt right now, we will never get out from underneath it in our lifetime. Yet, in November there is an upcoming vote to borrow another trillion dollars. Bad idea Mr. President.

A Little More to the Right Please.............
One of the challenges facing the Republican National Committee in the 2010 elections is going to be "Brand Awareness". Defining who the base voter is and where the party stands on the issues facing America today.
The RNC seems to have a mind set of moving toward the center and not wanting to alienate the potential independent voters. I would prefer a strategy that moves further right, away from center and clearly take a stand on fiscally conservative values and re-establish a clear agenda .
One of the policies that George W. Bush had was to try and reach "Across the Aisle" and get the Democrats approval on his policy making. The "Lead by Example" tactic fails miserably against the left and always has. What Bush was attempting may seem honorable, but that type of negotiation leads to compromise of ideas as well as failure to establish a clear path of policy and responsibility.
I think most people now agree that the current administration's agenda is both radical and dangerous to say the least. The out of control spending by the White House is well documented and in the forefront of conversations.
There is a growing pool of both democrats and independent voters who will be looking to end the spending free fall of Obama . The time is now for the RNC to stop trying to make both sides happy and get back to traditional conservatism. The American people will be looking for it and and a clear, well defined sense of leadership from their elected officials is in order.There is no room for compromise. So please, a little more to the right!

Priorities Askew?
I find it interesting how President Obama has prioritized his agenda for the success of the United States. He began with the heralded stimulus package. This influx into the American economy was promised to halt the surge in the employment rate at 8%. Needless to say this has not happened. We are now at 10% unemployment with some economists questioning that figure. It could actually be closer to 15% as the White House has devised a new formula that now brings saved jobs into the equation. The promise of shovel ready jobs that were going to crop up across the nation has proved to be a falsehood as well. Most of the monies thus far have been spent on welfare, labor unions (payback for their campaign support) and food stamps.
We now have before our legislatures our biggest expenditure yet..........Health Care Reform. I think most of us would agree that reform is long overdue. However, socialized medicine to the tune of $900 billion dollars over ten years for five years of service is insane. And these costs will only escalate as the administrations real agenda here is to eliminate the insurance companies. When this reform process was started it was supposed to give everybody coverage. Now there will be 15-20 million still uninsured. Doesn't seem like money well spent to me. Why not take the time to do it right?
The situation that President Obama has allowed to develop in Afghanistan is sad. We have American soldiers in harms way and he can't make a decision on whether or not to send in more troops for support. In this war it is either "ALL IN" or get the heck out of there.
I believe the administration realizes it is losing support within it's own party as well as independents, hence the battle with Fox News. In addition they seem to want to silence anyone who questions their agenda. The latest being the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
