This is what Adam Graham says:
“What’s becoming apparent to the American public is that we have an imperious Congress full of big egos and little minds, greedy, near-sighted people who are drowning future generations in debt and have the gall to demand that people calm down.
To fix their image, Congress would have to lower its tolerance for corruption and in a purposeful way make itself worthy of the public’s respect. But it’s almost certainly too late for that now. What was seen as benign corruption is now properly viewed as a danger to the health, safety, and happiness of ordinary Americans. Democrats should brace for an electoral bloodbath a year from now.”
Now you’ve heard their side.
This is what Laurie Thompson says.
Since when does strong medicine taste good?
Private health care is sick as a dog in that it’s been unable to provide decent coverage for illegal aliens, which by conservative count, accounts for the bulk of people Democrats use when they quote statistics such as the 44 million in America being uninsured.
Notice Obama doesn’t say 44 million Americans.
If we didn’t care about the health of illegal aliens, Obama says, we could keep our present health system in its private form with a tweak here and there.
But, Obama says, (and this was even confirmed by “Daily Kos”) private health care must go. It’s got to be done away with. Effectively killed so people don’t keep clinging to it.
In the end, the President has reiterated to his staff that simple but high taxes on everything from Coke and Pepsi to lipstick and computers to even elevator rides in high rise buildings, (only ten cents a floor) will more than pay for the cost of healthcare even if, as many expect, the final annual cost will likely actually be 9 times higher than projected.
Michelle says it at dinners over and over when talking about the public, “Like a parent”, she’ll explain, “President Obama knows what’s best for the masses. Americans who voice their disagreements at town meetings don’t have their facts or their heads on straight.”
Michelle isn’t being snide. She’s just being honest.
