The political pressures, paybacks and the almighty dollar are the driving forces behind the Health Care Reform package aka Obama Care. The political spin would have you believing it is about helping the poor,taxing the rich and reigning in spending.
I heard an ad yesterday on local television urging the people of Maine to support the legislation that President Obama hopes to have on his desk soon. Democratic Congressman Mike Michaud, touts in the ad how he is fighting for all Maine people to bring about health care reform. The advertisement further states that "Mainers" were being denied health care and the insurance company CEO's are getting fat with the profits being turned by their companies.
As is typical with political advertisements, the end of the commercial states who paid for the spot on television. This ad was bought and paid for by the money chomping labor union, SEIU. They cleverly, try to disguise themselves by listing a website on the screen as SEIU COPE. The behemoth union's boss Andy Stern, has visited President Obama at the White House 22 times in ten months. I am sure his purpose at Pennsylvania Avenue was not shooting hoops or smoking butts.
The real agenda for President Obama and the Democrat controlled House and Senate may be Health Care Reform, but not for the reasons that they state. Labor Unions were highly instrumental in getting Obama elected. In return for much needed funding and support to run a presidential campaign, cooperation and political favors are expected.
The man behind the curtain is Andy Stern. His hacks are "Kicking In Doors" at businesses across the country to expand their union presence. This bill would eventually bring an end to private insurance companies who employ about 5% of the US population. A solution that the Democrats refuse to put on the table would be to offer competition among the insurance companies across state lines.
This health care bill is a mess and the shenanigans behind it are deplorable.

Trophies for Everyone !!!!!
In an effort to show the world that America is compassionate, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have decided to bring the "Worst of the Worst" to New York City to face charges for the attacks that took place on 9/11.
I have no idea why the administration believes these cold blooded killers have the same rights as American citizens. This court room drama is probably going to escalate into quite a side show. To the extremist followers, they will be hailed as heroes. Defense Attorneys for the terrorists will embolden other radical extremists with charges of abuse and torture against the US Government.
The real abuse and torture occurred on the morning on Sept 11, 2001. These murderers had zero compassion or sympathy for the victims or their families as they set their deadly plan in motion.
The Obama Administration is so hell bent on reversing all Bush polices they are endangering all Americans.We were asleep at the switch with the Fort Hood shootings. All kinds on intelligence showing Nadal Malik Hasan was linked to extremists. Yet the government chose not to anger the Muslim sector and this tragedy unfolded. Stories of the shooters PTSD condition have been blamed by some for his motive. On the contrary, this US Army psychiatrist patient load was 38 clients spread out over 38 weeks, one-tenth of the normal case load.
In Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues his nuclear weapon activities. We know exactly what he is up to but choose to look the other way. Once again, not wanting to upset the apple cart. Kim Jong IL, the mad mad from N.Korea duped us with this same elusive behavior when former President Clinton, with the aid of another former President Carter threw US tax dollars at N.Korea. for a broken promise.
Instead of giving everyone trophies like they are kids playing T-Ball, let's get back to the premise of "Winners and Losers".
God Bless The USA !

Go On Take The Money and Run
Yesterday I learned that the White House web site, recovery.gov has inflated and fictitious tracking data posted in regards to the job creation from the Stimulus Bill. While I'm not surprised by the discrepancies, I am more concerned about the lack of respect being shown to the American public.
When President Obama was campaigning, his use of the Internet and technology attracted a whole new generation of voters. His ability to harness and captivate the Internet audience produced never seen before record donations to his cause.
On the aforementioned web site, 640,329 jobs are claimed to have been saved since the infusion of the federal monies from the Stimulus. It has now come to light, that in fact many of the recipients of the aid have been lying about the job numbers they have been reporting. In addition, the web site data shows fictional congressional districts throughout the US that do not exist. Saved job numbers are being reported as well in these erroneous precincts.
The issue I am having is a simple one. How can such a well oiled machine during the campaign process, think that this type of half hazard accountability is acceptable to the citizens of this country?

Do Not Pass Go...........Do Not Collect $200
The Democrats have passed their Health Care Reform Bill through the House by the slimmest of margins. I am appalled at the levels they have and continue to stoop to get this signed into law. A Democratic California Representative has spoken publicly about $128 million dollars that can be steered his way for a new building in his district, at a university that was offered by his constituents for his approval vote. This is just 1 person who came out and talked about it. Imagine the promises, winks and handshakes behind closed doors that the public is not privy to. Not to mention the strong arm tactics that this administration has become known for in just 1 year.
These elected officials are brandishing our tax dollars like a Monopoly Game player making a deal to trade Pennsylvania Railroad for St. James Place. The audacity and brazen disrespect for the tax payer by this administration is appalling.If all the special interest groups, palm greasing and paybacks for support are put aside, what is the real cost of Health Care Reform?
The Democrats like to tout they are the party of Humanitarians. How about some sympathy for the schleps that are picking up the tab on this Health Care fiasco? I find it hard to comprehend that these people actually believe they are helping all Americans.
The 2010 elections are 1 year away. That is not a long time in a normal election year. However at the rate this administration has accelerated spending it cannot come fast enough for this writer.

Making a Statement
The American voters are sending a message to their elected officials. The off year election results reveal a desire to return to a sense of normalcy in the U.S. One year ago when President Obama was campaigning and winning the November Presidential election he ran on the premise of change. Well, I think the majority of of voters had zero inclination into what kind of change Obama actually meant.
The outlandish government spending has just about everyone concerned and worried. A lack of direction in Afghanistan shows our troops and their families the Commander and Chief lacks intestinal fortitude. And the months spent on the latest Health Care bill clearly puts job creation on the back burner. All of these actions or lack of by the Obama team has had a trickle down effect on the state and local levels.
In an attempt to separate themselves from huge election losses yesterday, Harry Reid came out and announced he would not have a final Health Care bill ready for a vote until after the New Year. This strategy is meant to defuse the momentum that is gathering against the liberal agenda.
The Democrats are the masters of "Dirty Pool" and will not take these losses lightly. Although they will spin it in the "State Run Media" that none of these off year elections were important to them. Trust me they will be loaded for bear when November 2010 rolls around.
