health care bill will pass in a couple of hours...

...and I'm personally disappointed in this country's behavior! We DO need health care reform! I think I'm like most people in the United States...I KNOW our health care system is pretty heartless if you don't have insurance, but this is absolutely not the way to fix it! Yeah, they've been working on it for a year, but, the Democrats haven't really been letting any of the Repub's ideas in! It seems like Obama NEEDS Congress to pass this, no matter what, just so he can be GREAT! This is a circus today at Capitol Hill.
A big problem is that when all the Repubs vote no on this, nobody seems to get it...they are NOT saying nobody should get health care, it's only for us 'rich'..they're saying that, yes, everybody should have health care, but let's try some other ideas, that would be cheaper! Obama says they can save money by rooting out the waste and fraud in Medicare. Well, if so, why the hell hasn't he done it before this? I just want to puke with all the bribes going on...I know this is the way politics goes, but, this is IN YOUR FACE bribes, not behind the scenes bribes! Yeah...welcome to Chicago politics...
The whole world has contributed to this president's God complex. And he wants to be seen as the president who could do ANYTHING...unfortunately, he can! The problem is that he's not listening to his bosses, the American people! Never before has publuc opinion gone against a bill so much, and they've been so ignored and the Democrats said, in effect, "We know better than you...just sit down and shut up, you'll be better off if you let us take care of you!! So quit ARGUING!!"

outsourcing? insourcing? make up your mind!!

I know that a big problem with jobs in this country is that a lot of them are being "outsourced", right? Well, except for government jobs...if you want employment, go to where all the jobs are...Washinngton DC! Other than that, maybe you could be a defense lawyer, because President Obama is determined that every freakin' terrorist in the world have a trial here, either in New York City, or DC, or Detroit, for God's sake!! I guess this means he's insourcing terrorists, so we can prove that we're the most compassionate nation in the world...I guess...that's what the leader of this country insists on...because, maybe, if we bend over and bow to the world enough, they might like us. Is anyone here going to still have any self-respect left? Holy Crap!

speech tonight...

It's about time...Obama finally must've listened to somebody who screamed "shit or get off the pot!!" I'm not a big 'fan of wars', but, so many of our soldiers are dying in Afghanistan, that it pretty much proves that we need to go all out, full force on this war...either fight to win, or bring them home! Remember, President Obama, you wanted this job more than anything...Yes, this is the hardest part of the job, but, you took it...for better or worse. And you've had a lot of the fun parts already...you know, parties at the White House, date nights in New York City, the Nobel Peace Prize (I'm still at a loss for the reason for that one...maybe it was the "apology tour" you gave all over the world...).
Well, it was a pretty good speech, he must have great speechwriters...and he gave all the appropriate stern looks.
BoUnCeS!! LibbY!

...and now...after all those years of thinking you have to...

kuj ...start getting a mammogram every year starting at age 40...now the government is saying "Well, no, you can wait til you're 50 to start that...and as for the yearly nookie-lookie dr...well, girls don't need their first til they're 21...& after you've had three normal ones, well, just once every 3 years is fine. Holy fuckin' shit! I cannot BELIEVE this!! Even when I was 15, you had to have a yearly pelvic, just to make sure nothing was wrong, or you couldn't refill your birth control pills! And I was 15 a very loooooooooooooong time ago! People weren't fucking around as much as they are now! ! Hell, one in three women have the HPV already...AND this includes women up to their 50's! Are you kidding me? This is when they need to INCREASE the test! I already decided a couple years ago, I'm never having sex again (sorry, guys! lol!)...there's just tooo muxh stuff out there to catch! I already know a girl with HPV, had a friend who died a while ago from cervical cancer..a girl with herpes...how many more? Not that I like having those tests...they're just part of life!

don't get swine flu...

After scaring the shit out of everybody in the US, they're now telling people there's a big shortage of shots...bad enough that adults aren't getting one, but now little kids aren't able to get their second shot, which the government said they'd absolutely need to be 100% protected against this deadly flu. That would surely make me comfortable about turning my total health care over to the government...bunk! Are more people in this country dying from H1N1 than just plain ol' flu this year? Because a whole lot of people die from complications from the flu EVERY year, if you've paid one bit of attention to the news.

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.
