From hope and change to heartache and chaos. That is what Americans are witnessing now with the Obama administration. There is no doubt that Obama is looking to put positive spins on the economic outlook. Recent data shows that the stimulus plan is not working, Cap and Trade will raises taxes and strip away more freedom, healthcare is more akin to death care and the jobless rate is soaring past 10 percent in sixteen states. How long will it be before the other thirty-four states see those same numbers. Vice-President Biden can gloat all he wants about how well the economy is, but when he asked his audience at J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College in Henrico to look around and see the progress of the stimulus package and the economy. It is just too pathetic to see this man promote this propaganda. The media did nothing to test him on his statements. Mr. Vice-President, just a week or two ago, you comment that your Administration had underestimated how bad the economy was, yet know everything is rosy. What has changed? How could Obama believe that that the resident big mouth should go out to pump the economy, when everyone in America sees him as a goof ball.
Sticking to the policies that the Obama administration is so sure that America’s needs, let’s ask why everything has to be done right now? What is the hurry? Unfortunately for the President, many voters are starting to wake up and smell the coffee. Obama and his minions either don’t have a clue what they are doing or they know what they wanted to accomplish, but they didn’t count on people to be smart enough to pay attention. As odd as this may seem to say, we should hope it is the second scenario not the first. If it is the first scenario, then the country is really doomed due to incompetence. As comedian Ron White would say “You can’t fix stupid.” It is astounding to say the least, that a the moment when our country is going through a financial crisis, this Administration seeks for ways to spend more money. All of his policies add to the overwhelming debt. However, if it is the second scenario, then there is hope for the American people to turn things around. The Administration may be willing to kill off the American dream to gain socialism but they didn't count on so many Americans to stand up against radical changes in our country. The voice of the American people has always been more powerful than the politicians. The voices for freedom has always been more powerful than any government.
The important battle right now is healthcare and it is far from over. Obama has gambled his presidency on this issue. The spin out there is Obama is not doing this for him, he is doing it for the American people. Right! Explain why polls are starting to show that 49% are opposed to his ideas and 45% approve. That is math that can not be ignored. The average citizen understands that Healthcare is all about Obama. Pelosi and gang will have much to do to turn things around. It is not an impossible task, unless the American citizens block the Democrats efforts.
Which leads to the all important question, do Americans need healthcare reform? According to the President Americans not only need it but are looking for leadership on the issue. Leadership does not mean taking a problem and turning it on its ear. When a car needs to be fixed, is it practical to take it apart to make a totally different car? This is exactly what the Democrat Leadership wants to do and yet it is not necessary to go this far when fixing healthcare. The main concern for healthcare is how to lower costs and still provide the best care possible to patients. Keeping in mind the dignity of the human being. The best solutions to this problem will not come out of Washington. It can and should come from the industry. Doctors, pharmacists, nurses and insurers can all wrk together to find the solutions that will bring costs down. At this point, it doesn’t seem as though the Obama administration wants to hear from the Healthcare industry or the voters. Maybe now that they have extended the deadline of when healthcare will be passed, their ears will be open. For America’s sake, let’s hope so.
