“Welcome to Obamaville.”
It’s about time we declared the ‘ville a “blighted neighborhood”, and schedule some “Urban Renewal” to commence Nov. 6!!!;)
There will be loads of money to make in health care. Not much of it will be for health care providers though. Not much health care happening either.
I recently filled out a form for a security clearance. It said that it would take approximately 1.5 hours to fill out this form. It required every address where I’ve lived for 10 years; also the name address and phone number of somebody who knew me there. It needed my Dad’s naturalization numbers from 1940. My Dad’s papers said that this was done in a Federal Military District Court which no longer exists, but the form would not allow me to advance to the next page until I had put in a zip code. Zip codes came along in the 1960’s so I used one for a court that Google said was in the same city. All in all I spent roughly 8 hours. Yes, if you had all the data and only had to type it in, you could have finished in 1.5 hours.

This is already a disaster. One of my friends who voted for Obama (look, he's a great guy, just hasn't learn this lesson yet and I will still stand by him any chance I get) is about to be outsourced and it's directly due to this regimes policies.
It's heartbreaking to see.
