The Republican Party and some conservatives in this country have a very nasty and offensive way of not only misrepresenting facts but making every argument as partisan and myopic as possible.
When last year the argument in congress was about immigration reform, these same groups came up with the same narrow minded argument about why illegal immigrant should never be allowed the path to citizenship even when some of them are taxpayers.
Now we are seeing the same kind of undesirable arguments and elements attempting to portray the current drive for healthcare reform into another sphere of argument that defy gravity and authenticity.
I careless as to whether somehow the healthcare reform might positively impact other human beings that may be in the country illegally but are contributing tremendously towards its socio-economic status, as opposed to the so called residents that perpetuate murder, drugs and other social vices that have caused great pain to the country and its citizens.
Act now!
Healthcare problem is a deficit problem!
No American should go broke because he or she is sick!
Healthy competition is a necessity to ensure the protection of consumers!
"I will not sign a bill that add to the nation's deficit"
The cost of doing nothing is unimaginable!
President Obama is indeed a pragmatist and nationalist to the core. Much is now expected from a Congress that has allowed partisanship to inhibit the true call to duty for every American.
Unique speech indeed!
God bless USA
God bless Obama & Biden
Without an iota of doubt it is increasingly becoming clear that the partisan divides is ever increasing as opposed to shrinking and the reason is not farfetched. A conspicuous example of how unnecessarily partisan leaders in Washington has become contrary to the desire to unite and forge ahead nationalistic sentiments was the manner the anticipated President Barack Obama’s address to the America students was treated.
The issue was politicized which is clearly contrary to the way previous president’s were treated especially by the so called conservatives Americans that unfortunately are moving too far right that is beyond pragmatism in a country that is a microcosm of the world population.
I am so far pleased with the handling of the various nonentities from those opposed to President Barack Obama as epitomized by the constructive and nationalistic articulations of the later. Furthermore it is gratifying to experience the ways and manners that the administration has continued to reply critics with the truth rather than synonymous inflammatory and fallacious information.
Though many of us are too shy to admit, but the reality is that there are still very few Americans that are too conservative, dogmatic and myopic enough that accepting the fact that the president of the United States of America could truly be a black man or rather a man of minority status.
However, justice shall prevail and the true America and American spirit shall triumph over sentimentality and stupidity.
God bless Obama and Biden
Without an iota of doubt it is now becoming increasingly conspicuous that the Republican Party members are unwilling to work with President Barack Obama led Democratic Party as the later sort to bring about a comprehensive change as opposed to maintaining the status quo!
America is supposed to be the country where freedom is epitomize but unfortunately the same elements of freedom is now being use to make every American to be living in bondage courtesy of the sometime unnecessary opposition to the president on practically every issues.
It is a thing of shame that the Republican Party Congress is accepting the Honduras debacle by legitimizing the coup that ended a democratically elected government and yet the same group will want democracy to thrive even at home. A very simple analogy of the detrimental effect of such inclination by the opposition is to beginning to consider a situation whereby the military can take over the government under the pretence that a serving president is breaching the constitution! Where is the court or the judiciary arms of government?
Approval rating to the best of my understanding is yet another subjective term used by pundits to support or refute a measure and does not necessarily represent the authenticity of an argument or support the position of those it is intended to serve.
In spite of the media reporting about the downside rating for the president’s quest for revamping the healthcare industry, my community particularly does not share the same sentiments and I have also been opportune to discuss across the country and many of the people I contacted adamantly support the 44th president’s quest to bring orderliness and affordability in an industry that is saturated with too much “special interests”, lobbyists and the egocentrically myopic health Insurance companies.
The monopoly exhibited by the Insurance companies which pragmatically is to the disadvantage of the American people can only be broken with the advent of a system such as that being proposed by President Barack Obama, and which is focus on cost, affordability and quality.
My dear beloved Ted,
I am consoled with the fact that your generosity, humanity and humanitarian work in addition to championing so many legislatures that affect the lives of the poor, rejected and needy like me will enable the doors of heaven to be open to you without reservation.
And furthermore, I do know that the almighty God loves a cheerful giver; and you have given your live fighting for destitudes like me and my types. The divine mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ is beyond measure and it will carry you to the promise land where there is true universal healthcare of love, harmony and abode of haven for mankind and the heavenly host.
Please convey my love and dearest greetings to JFK, MLK, and the rest of your type ( The defender of the poor) as you now have the opportunity to meet with them face to face after sojourning here on earth for the past 77 years.
You are now at peace and resting in the bossom of His majesty.
Thank you for the sacrifices you have made especially for me.
I will continue to support your dream; which lives on forever!
Rest in perfect peace. Amen.
Love,
Peter Odeh and family
President Barack Obama is borrowing from China to salvage the socio-economic squalor that he inherited from the Republican Party led 43rd president of the United States of America. The later borrowed from China to wage a war of luxury and at the same time compensate for the perpetuation of the status quo.
The Republican Party is yet to realize that time has indeed passed and here we are watching with dismay and utmost disgust the manipulation of President Barack Obama’s good intention for the American people and the country.
What a shame that this country at times cannot even engage in a healthy debate without the politicization of the issues at stake. If the Republicans and their allies are not afraid let them join democrats and the American people to iron out for the last time the quest to revamp the healthcare industry.
As time goes on I will like to see further discussion in areas such as gun right and the possession of arms as the singular means of self-defense. We must not be afraid to discuss and furthermore, deceptions and related motives will only hurt the truth, but fortunately will never prevail against it. The truth is so bitter that those who hate it are bent on misrepresenting the truth to serve their egocentric purposes even at the detriment of the people they claim to serve.
So far, I agree with President Obama borrowing to help Americans as opposed to borrowing to hurt them, as was epitomized in the last eight years!
Without an iota of doubt, I am sure it is now becoming increasingly conspicuous that the 44th president of the United States of America is a pragmatist, realist and practical personality that is ever ready to explore every opportunity to make the lives of the ordinary Americans better while at the same time ensuring a revamped image of the country at home and abroad.
In spite of the nonchalant attitude of some antagonists to his policies and articulations, President Barack Obama has maintained his usual inclination and proclivity of standing on the side of truth and feeding the people with the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
As must have been epitomized in the healthcare reform initiative, the president maintained that doing nothing will have an insurmountable consequences and the country will be devastated if the current status quo is allow to perpetuate itself in the prevailing economy. I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that if we allow wisdom and true dialogue to prevail, the present call for revamping the healthcare industry especially the monopoly by the private insurance companies will soon become a reality and for the betterment of the nation as a whole.
I completely disagree with those who are clamoring that healthcare reform should be delay due to the economic recession.
Why are we not delaying the outrageous luxurious life styles that some of our leaders, the healthcare insurance owners and the lobbyists are having for the sake of the recession?
Why are we not delaying in funding the Afghanistan war of necessity?
Why are we not delaying in reaching out diplomatically and economically to other nations?
Why are we not delaying the space shuttles?
Why are we not delaying in starving ourselves in other to pay for our children’s schools?
Why should we delay in a reform that is going to bring about relieve to all of us and create a healthy completion and choices for the American people?
This is the time, now and never for all of us to support the president and bring about a pragmatic and articulate reform and revamping of the healthcare system.
Without an iota of doubt that maxim “ a healthy nation is a wealthy nation more than support the call by the 44th president of the United States of America that health care reform cannot wait but must be executed in a realistic fashion that will ultimately benefit the American people.
Every individual American and family is a microcosm of the large society that makes up the country and consequently if such an individual is healthy by implication the nation is healthy too. Those who may be clamoring for the postponement of the current drive to reform the dogmatic, egocentric and economically bankrupting healthcare industry must reflect on the kind of situation the country faces before the first man was able to make a touchdown on the surface of the moon.
Retrospectively therefore it will become explicitly and conspicuously clear that gigantic initiative such as healthcare reform is more than synonymous to the quest to travel to the outer space culminating in Americans becoming the first men to land on that satellite. We are now faced with yet another challenge that will not only affect the ordinary man, but has the potential of transforming forever the way the healthcare industry in the country carry out its businesses.
The contemporary anxiety that is being perpetuated by the antagonists of President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform is conspicuously reminiscent of the kind of hoodwink and fear the citizens were subjected to prior to the invasion and subsequent devastation of Iraq.
However unlike in the cases of Iraq and other actions that culminated in some form of inhumane interrogation tactics and practices, the present administration is America- centric in its policies and deliberately position to help better the lives of every citizens. This inclination while being a laudable, respectable and nationalistic in nature does not enjoy the support of conservatives and some few undesirable elements that is too egocentric and myopic for the contemporary policies and articulations of the administration.
The real fear about healthcare reform is not about the anticipated cost, but principally based on the obvious fact that if effected those few powerful Americans that have benefited from the poverty of the people, and while at the same time hoping to keep the people perpetually hooked to their filament of selfishness, self-indulgence and debauchery will automatically lose their grip!
Without questioning it should be clear to majority of Americans that the fundamental issue at stake to reforming healthcare is not whether the 44th president supports it or not but essentially hinged on the fact that the powerful status quo players in the industry are not ready to forgo their inimical monopoly of the American people.
The recent development in which some have began to speculate that the Obama administration may be giving up on the public option conspicuously epitomizes the above school of thoughts which is factual and indispensible in understanding the mindset of the dogmatic, myopic and sentimental antagonist of President Barack Obama healthcare reform agenda.
Retrospectively the spontaneous exhilaration displayed by the Republicans especially and those whose campaign funding is wholly or partially provided by the healthcare insurance giants and others who wants to maintain the status quo should manifest to the people that some that are against government involvement in the healthcare industry are doing so not necessarily because they care about the people, but principally because they stand to lose their funding and by simple implication the ability to be in the Capitol Hill!
All kudos to President Barack Obama for exploring the possibility of providing a universal healthcare coverage that essentially recognizes both the peculiarities and necessities of the citizenry of the United States of America, and without attempting to socialized it as erroneously portrayed by those who are antagonistic to anything that has to do with pragmatic reform in this very decaying system.
Without doubt, I am encouraged and at the same time exceedingly proud of the 44th president for focusing on the need of the American people rather than throw away resources in a peculiar dogmatic fashion that glorifies war and intimidation around the world.
It is unfortunate that consequent to the special interests and lobbyists the honest and humane idea of the president was being misrepresented, tainted and in some cases liken to a death panel by some nonchalant, myopic and egocentric personalities, whose grand design in reality is to perpetuate the status quo.
The current hullabaloo about the ongoing quest by the 44th President of the United States of America to overhaul the systematically anemic and parasitic healthcare delivery services is mostly sentimental and emotionally inclined as opposed to simple logic and the desire to thread wisely for posterity sake.
It is essentially a conspicuous misrepresentation by antagonist of Americans and the president who sort to overhaul the system and therefore make healthcare affordable without scarifying the quality and quantity of service.
What is even most disturbing is the fact that some of these contenders could go as far as deploying the fear tactics that was reminiscent of why Senator John Kerry was unable to defeat former president George w. Bush during the later campaign for his second term in office. Americans should now know better than just to accept either the government position of that of those who rival such inclinations.
I am shocked beyond imagination, but at the same time not surprised by the maliciousness and detrimental attacks that some conservatives and lobbyists have perpetuated against the quest for a healthcare reform that will only serve a purposeful and progressive innovation in a system that is scientifically, socially, morally and economically bankrupt and decaying.
Those who argue that the reform amount to socialism have not only lost touch with reality but fail to provide a concrete evidence to manifest their sensation and dogmatic claim. Furthermore, how do such fellows reconcile the maxim a healthy nation is a wealthy nation to their antagonism of the revamping of the healthcare industry?
There are those who even exaggerated their claim that reform will bring about euthanasia or the perpetuation of unwanted killing! It is so sad that even in the face of the worst economic depression since the thirties and in the vicinity of further deterioration in the system as a whole, some Americans have decided to side with the lobbyists, dogmatist and those with archaic mentality as opposed to considering the reality of our time.
Promising new jobs and money, President Barack Obama on Wednesday told a hurting Midwestern region that its recovery will be like America's: tough but certain. Obama's second visit as president to a northern Indiana area mired in unemployment reflected political reality. People appreciate hope and the presence of the president, but they want jobs. So Obama came bearing all of those in what amounted to a national economic pep talk.

McCain gives Obama credit on economy
By POLITICO STAFFPOLITICO
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview aired Sunday that President Barack Obama, his opponent from the general election, should get "credit" for short-term improvements in the economy.
McCain told CNN's John King in an interview taped Friday for "State of the Union":
"I think you could say that it is a short-term improvement in the economy. And I'll be glad to give him credit for that. But the question that I think we should be asking are the long term consequences of this unprecedented debts and deficits — are they beneficial to the country? And I think the answer is no."

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama, citing fresh evidence the recession is winding down, says the country's future economic prosperity depends on building a new, stronger foundation and recapturing the "spirit of innovation."
"Innovation has been essential to our prosperity in the past, and it will be essential to our prosperity in the future," Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address.
The president cited Friday's Commerce Department report showing that in the last few months the economy overall has done "measurably better than expected." He credited his $787 billion economic stimulus program for much of that progress.

The necessity to reform the status quo healthcare system can never be over emphasized. However those who are bent on defeating this noble cause are doing all within their might to frustrate the innovation.
Nevertheless it is very crucial for every Americans to understand that this is not about President Barack Obama nor his family! Furthermore Congress members are not hurt irrespective of whether the healthcare industry is reform or not! The people that suffer most are ordinary folks like you and me. Consequently, it is not surprising that our voices are not been heard wince we have little resources to reach the outside world comparatively to the lobbyists and their cohorts.
I am confident that by the end of the day we shall all come to our senses and support President Barack Obama and his administration in making the healthcare industry humane and affordable.
