10.2%...

We were promised that once the $787 billion 'stimulus' was passed, that would hold the unemployment down to no higher than 8%...somebody's doing some "fuzzy math", dontcha think?...Is Al Gore on Obama's budget committee?

The health care debacle...truthfully, I feel like I have no business saying anything here, because I'm still covered on Kev's insurance...but...if he's out of a job, for any reason next year, I'll have to get on Medicaid/Medicare...that really bites a big one, but, just for shits & giggles, let's pretend I'm fine, don't have anything wrong with me, and I'm still working. So, if that's the case, I really don't want the government in charge of EVERYBODY'S health care in the whole country! Do you? Seriously?? You fucking trust the government to make your health care decisions, instead of yourself & your family? A lot of libersls say that Europe has good health care, we should do that...or Canada's. Well, if theirs is so freakin' good, why do they all come here for their important operations, like heart problems, knee replacements, back surgeries?
It's not that I think the health care system here is so great, but our doctors & equipment here IS! The Republicans have a plan, it's just that the Democrats refuse to listen to it. I heard a representative from the House (who is also a dr) describing it today, & it includes no turning down for a pre-existing condition, tort reform, & insurance being able to be sold between the states, like car insurance is. But nobody knows about that plan yet, do they?

QUIT TRYING SO HARD TO SPIN THE TRUTH!

...when most of the country knows damn well the economy isn't getting better, and we're not adding jobs like you told everybody we would! Remember, "If we pass this stimulus bill, it'll keep our unemployment rate from going over 8%!!" Well, now, a few months later, we're at nearly 10%...and quit fucking blowing your own horn, saying "Since then, we've created or saved 6 hundred thousand jobs!" Well, how many have we lost since then?? And I, and probably more people than you realize, think that maybe, just maybe, since you've been "President Obama" for damn near a year, that it's getting quite tiresome to keep hearing "...from the previous administration, we still have THIS happening..." Grow up!
You have the most powerful group of Democrats in the House & Senate, ready and able to do your bidding. And that is really not what this country is all about, can't you see that?? You're not "King Obama", and this country isn't full of "peons", to shut up and listen to you...because, of course, you & your "flunkies" know more about life and everything than us...'dummies', as I've heard anyone who disagrees with you referred to. Really, how can the Democrats say they're so elite, and this country would be better off if the people that disagree with them would quit disagreeing with them, and just listen to them and learn from them! Huh...if I need to learn how to call people 'stupid' when I'm pissed at them, I'll listen to a 9-year old.
And I can't see how this health care bill is going to not add "one thin dime" to our budget. Nancy Pelosi introduced this, bragging about how it 'only' cost 898 billion, so it's under the 900 billion suggested by President Obama! And it has the public option in it, but she explained very carefully to all of us "stupid people" (she didn't say that, but I could clearly hear her thinking it), that she thought that the problem was the name, instead of calling it the 'public option', they should refer to it as the 'consumer option'. Wow. It's really a good thing we're all so stupid, or else we might catch on to the fact that it's the same old thing, just that they're afraid to call it what it is. Whew. There's a LOT more in me that needs to get out, but...it's Halloween, and I have more important things to do today.

h1n1??

I want to know how we're supposed to trust the government with everybody's health care, when they can't even get us the H1N1 vaccines they've told us to make sure we get!?? Everything the government tries to run turns to shit, it seems...costs way more money than was promised, and is way more than is needed! The post office, the IRS, the census...just about anything the government tries to stick its fingers into...you know..."Here, let me...I'll fix it for you!!" We've all known people like that. Now, imagine having to turn over your medical decisions to them...

Empire State building...

Did everybody notice how the Empire State Building was lit up this week? You know, in red & yellow?? China's colors...the week of their 60 year celebration of being Communistic? What's happening to our country? I guess we do need to ingratiate ourselves to the financial owners of our country, but should we even be in this position? When is the last time the building was lit in red, white, & blue? Yeah. I know. Paranoia.

Now the President's going to Copenhagen?

...with Oprah and a lot of other White House officials to try to get the 2012 Olympics in Chicago?? Doesn't he have enough on his plate already?? A war in Afghanistan that he's being asked for 40,000 more troops? Iran is doing missile testing, and they've been shown to have another nuclear enriching facility underground? Health care? Augghhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm so confused! I'll just go to Copenhagen, and take a couple days off and then think about it when I get back...yeah, that's the ticket...

a bunch of thinking...

I think I know why President Obama wants everything right now...hurry up & pass this!! Maybe he knows that he's going to be a one-term president? He always promised (when he was in "campaign mode") that his administration will be the most transparent EVER. Haha! He really needs to put on his big-boy pants, and act like the American president, not the rest of the world's president!

aren't you even concerned about Iran??

All the crap going on at the G20, & the UN...is it going to really make one bit of difference? Really? Seriously? Did anyone happen to catch Qaddafi's 90 minute + speech/diatribe/history lesson? That was amazing! Actually, it was a riot...and someone paid for him to be here??
Has everybody seen the video of the 2nd graders doing their 'singalong' about Barack Husein Obama? Oh my lord, it looks exactly like the kids in North Korea, singing about their "Dear Leader"! If I had a kid in a school that was doing that kind of shit, oh my God, they would sure as hell hear about it from me!
