Healthcare & The Public Option

By John Hay - An Australian for Barack - Sep 9th, 2009 at 1:52 am EDT

Also listed in: 4 groups

In his address to Congress on Wednesday, President Obama must stand firm on the need for a public option to provide clarity, and to keep his supporters united and motivated. Any tainted compromise he may be ill advised to make would represent a great loss for the American people and be instantly claimed as a victory by his opponents.The President must make it clear that he will refuse to sign any bill which fails to provide an unburdened public option (not one which involves trigger attachments and other restrictive devices). One hopes he will make full use of the presidential bully pulpit to rally all Americans (many republican voters also need better healthcare options) to make it unmistakably clear that he will fight for quality healthcare legislation – whatever it takes – and for however long it takes - and that he will never accept some adhoc politically compromised bill, which simply maintains the status quo with no chance of delivering the vital healthcare improvements the American people deserve.

A fight is not always won in the first round. On Wednesday, Barack Obama must plant his Healthcare standard once and for all. His entire Presidency will be coloured, measured and historically judged by the resulting effect of his words on that day.

I have a feeling that the real Healthcare battle is just beginning. Now it is up to every committed American to rally around their President and be clear about what they are prepared to do to achieve their healthcare goals.

An Alliance of Corruption

An Alliance of Corruption .. http://www.tellingthoughts.com/speaking-candidly/alliances-of-corruption#comments ..

Excerpt: .. This was the business of finance, American style, by the year 2000. Many of the shady deals and flawed enterprises which resulted, were the product of a deregulated embryo of this disaster, emerging as it has, to become the first international financial virus of the 21st century.

"Inaugural Memories" of An Obama Volunteer -- http://www.tellingthoughts.com/asides/inaugural-memories-of-an-obama-volunteer

A few weeks ago I invited a dedicated Obama campaign volunteer from North Carolina (a lady who prefers to remain anonymous) to consider recording her feelings and memories following her much anticipated sojourn to Washington DC for the inauguration of her country's 44th President.

Lipstick on His Collar .. http://www.tellingthoughts.com/us-politics/lipstick-on-his-collar

Excerpt: Karl the horrible, realises his days would be numbered without his pal W's, protection or possible pardon. Deep in the labyrinths of his devious political persona Rove fears the real possibility of a one star rated jail cell which patiently awaits him. All the more likely once the rule of law is again respected, dutifully administered and applied by a new Attorney General in an Obama administration. That you can bet on.
