If the government cannot run a mail delivery system without losing $7 billion, how can anyone expect they will run health care efficiently?

‘It’s the Post Office That’s Always Having Problems’

He could just as well have pointed to many other programs as analogies for failed government programs, and he would've been correct.

Medicare and Medicaid are losing a lot more money than the post office. The education department is not having any success at improving students' grades. Social Security is going bankrupt.

But, the best example of all wouldve been the congress. Just about everything they do puts the country in a bigger hole. The country is already bankrupt with an unmanageable deficit and a "never will be repaid" national debt, and now they are spending money that they'll never collect.

But, the presidency is just as bad as the congress, so perhaps he should've mentioned his presidency as the biggest government failure of all.

LOL, towards the end of the video clip on Drudge, Mr."O" actually says the new system will do just fine "...as long as the Government isn't being subsidized by the taxpayer...."

So.......Just where the heck does Mr. Obama think the government gets it's money?

I have to ask, am I just living in an alternate dimension?

Around here it’s the mail lady who’s polite, friendly, and never seems to mess things up, while the UPS guy is the dumbest waste of oxygen I’ve ever had the misfortune to be forced to deal with.

He’s never clued into ideas we tend to teach children soon as they’re old enough to understand...concepts like “If you need the attention of someone inside a home, ring the doorbell or knock on the door.” He just slings packages onto the carport and runs.

Which...we could almost forgive, except there’s a chair he could set them on.

Did I mention this crap has led to several of our packages being chewed or eaten, yes literally EATEN, by the neighbor’s roaming cur?

NOTE: Obama told healthcare opponents to "get out of the way," and scathingly asked if they knew medicare was "govt healthcare."

QUOTING OBAMA: ‘It’s the Post Office That’s Always Having Problems’............

Pardon me, Mr Prez, but do you know the Post Office is a "government agency?"

Until you get all the govt agencies straight in your mind, then I suggest "YOU get out of the way."

I don’t get my magazines about 10% of the time. I called to complain about not getting Barrons on Saturdays and the guy at the post office said, “ that’s the one most peoople complain about”... it’s like, “ Well, Duh”. That’s the one that is suppose to arrive every Saturday. Most of us don’t know when our other magazines are suppose to arrive. So we dont’ complain. Mail is another crappy government screw-up. So who wants to hand over health care to these puffed up idiots?
