It has been said often, and with more eloquence than I, that Barack Obama's priorities are misplaced. Where are the jobs pundits are asking? But even as he lip-serves employment, he needles America.
Vladimir Lenin once said, "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism," and it's clear that Obama and Lenin share philosophy. Clearer still is that Obama doesn't care. Not about November. Not about your family. Not about your job. What he prioritizes -- as evidenced by his push for "reform" -- is the "fundamental restructuring" of the American economy.
Andy Stern, the most frequent White House visitor, gave a speech, recently, in which he said:
---We now have a new metric. The president says he wants to measure the economy by increases in the middle-class. Whether we have shared prosperity, not just whether we have growth-a fundamentally different philosophy than we've seen in the country to date. ---
And Stern knows Obama. The long-held assumption that empowerment of the lower-class will "grow the middle" is gone. Stern went on to say:
---Clearly government has a major opportunity to distribute wealth.... We stand at a cross-roads, we are at the historical cross-road, I think, economically, in terms of what a new president is trying to do, and a different way in which we're going to evaluate the economy. All of a sudden, we are witnessing the first new American economy-led by the government and not the private sector.---
Chilling. President Obama fails to see America as a land of opportunity, rejects wealth creation, and intends to "grow the middle," not by lifting the poor, but by shrinking the top. This explains his obsession with health care-the "keystone" is in reach.
And should he grab it, we will all be less free.
No surprise here. This HC crap has got to be stopped!
It’s a control thing. ObamaCare would give the commie piggies total control over the lives of every American.
What would our forefathers do in this situation?
Bet they wouldn’t be sitting on their azzes like we
are doing.
Are we sitting on our azzes? What should we be doing that we are not doing?
I wonder why none of the "USEFUL IDOTS" ever figured it out.
Does Stalin's slogan sound a lot like Obama? Think long, see the similarity...
Government run death-care is for Obama's "USEFUL IDIOTS".
I thought Jimmy “killer bunny” Carter would be the worst president in my lifetime. I couldn’t imagine a worse one. I was wrong. Too bad the buyer’s remorse of those who voted hadn’t set in before the election. Of course, that would mean the press would’ve had to do their job. Hopefully when all is said and done, people will have just as much suspicion of the MSM as we do.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. It has NOTHING to do with improved or more affordable health care, etc. This is why he will not give up or consider anyone else’s ideas.
That is the problem.
In a mathematical sense, the Obama's see economics as nothing more complex than addition and subtraction.
The wealth of the world, as Michelle has said, is nothing more than a "pie." For the poor to have anything, it must be "subtracted" from that pie owned by the wealthy.
If Obama (and Michelle) had studied mathematics (at least up to calculus), they would understand that the human activity is not linear. The pie grows as we work.
The more people are encouraged to engage in business (particularly their own), the bigger and bigger the pie becomes.
It has become increasingly clear that Obama and Michelle must have avoided the study of mathematical dynamics. Such is completely understandable because, in math, there is little room for "affirmative action"...you either get it or you don't.
The Obamas don't!
This Bill has never been about lowering “Health Care Cost” or lower “Insurance Rates”.
It was written by SEIU for the benefit of the SEIU. It’s a SEIU bail out.
Here’s the deal. SEIU pension fund is in the tank. It is just months away of being taken over by the government and Andy and the Boys will no longer have control of it. Their cash cow will be gone. They can’t allow that to happen. In the bill the SEIU wants anyone who turn retires (30 and out) at the age of 52 eligible for Medicare. Why? The pipefitters union is a good example. If you retire after 30 years, you still have to pay union dues if you want Health Insurance through the union plus you still have to contribute to the cost of health insurance. Part of the union dues go toward paying for pension. Example. Union dues, $100.00 per month. Retiree’s health contribution, $100.00. Total $200.00 per month. If the Health care bill passes, Union Dues will go up but the total will be less than $200.00 per month. The difference will put the pension fund out of the government hands so Andy and his boys can raid it some more.
That’s the game plan. That’s the pay back.
The rest of the bill is window dressing.
Next on their agenda is a national pension above Social Security.
Andy and boys should be investigated for mismanagement of the SEIU pension fund.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
Obama is attempting to overwhelm the system just as FDR did in the 1930`s. Undermining traditional American values and beliefs in an all out effort to replace our current free market capitalist system with one based on more government intrusion and control through more social engineering and federal regulation. God help us all if he succeeds.
Nobama looks at everything through a socialism prism. He really doesn’t understand America, nor does he want to. We are screwed.
Not an option!

Of course, considering how devious he is, he will certainly try an end run around the American people to push his outdated agenda on them against their wishes.
Vladimir Lenin once said, “Medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism.
The progressives need a chump for a tool to get their agenda enacted into law and they found the biggest chump of all in Obama.
