Obama must listen
Boston Herald ^ | 9/2/09 | Steve Tougas

Posted on 09/02/2009 3:43:26 AM PDT by xtinct

Charles Krauthammer seems to be encouraging President Barack Obama to continue to forget that the government is the employee and that “We the people” are the employer (“Breathing life into ObamaCare,” Aug. 30). Any business owner worth his salt will say that if you want a successful business, you don’t put the employees in charge because they don’t always have the company’s best interest at heart.

So what do “We the people” not want from our health care? We don’t want it to be managed by an unaccountable government monopoly, we don’t want the country to become bankrupt paying for it, and we don’t want to pay unfair premiums nor pass the costs along to our children. Most of all, we don’t want a eugenics bill that only puts value on the productive taxpayer through a system of rationing and long waits for care.

ALL employees of the citizens of the United States of America need to start listening to the people.

ObambiCare is out... nothing but a power grab.

Give back the private sector what belongs in the private sector --> banks, GM, etc. And, let the chips fall where they may if they fail.

Teachers and school administration --> summer reading, Hingham. MA... students were forced to read "Dreams of My Father" ... rubbish by Bill Ayers for Obambi.

Teachers and school administrators need to learn the hard way exactly who they work for... time for parents to step up to the plate... Start by reinstating American traditions... foreign born folks who are offended need to go back to their own countries to feel comfortable. These are the folks who are perpetually offended by our traditions...

And, judges need to know who they work for also.

They will pass something. IMO they will add a public option later. This idea is not dead enough yet.

Listen? What, Obama listen? No. I don't think he's listening

Hey, this guy is so far gone, his only hope is to talk to school kids to see if they'll believe his policies. How PATHETIC is that? I mean, really, pitiful.

Grand Mufti of Chicago does not listen to the babbling of the masses.

Obama is a Communist as are his minions. The mission is to destroy Capitalism. They are focused on Changing to the Cuban style Socialist model and the Venezuelan Revolution. Everything you see to the contrary is a smokescreen. Do not believe anything they or the desciples in the MSM say.

Charles Krauthammer has proven himself to be
nothing more than an incompetent Constitution-hating
psychiatrist, whose goal has been to enable a sociopathic
liar, dripping with obvious Munchhausen by proxy.

krauthammer cannot see the truth because he is part of the problem. He has been in the beltway for far too long... he is ridden with beltway disease... it infects his very soul... otherwise he would know that hussein will never listen because he has a communist/sharia agenda and has been clear about it since the late 80’s... charles should know this... hussein’s past interviews and statements are an open book... it is charles and the beltway conservatives that need to open their minds and listen to the whole truth. Nothing good will ever come from hussein or the evilcrats... NOTHING!

Everyone in government *should* listen, but they demonstrate every day that they don’t have to. They would be wise to listen, but they demonstrate constantly that they are not wise.

My ongoing complaint with the best of the pundits — and I consider Charles Krauthammer one of the best — is that they so often say (in effect), “The rules require....” The people now in power give not one tiny damn for the rules.

Obama & Co will listen when they hear the gates and doors of the “palace” being blown off their hinges by mobs with pitchforks, torches, and M4s. I don’t want that, but they may not listen to anything less.

Yes, they will pass something and inevitably it will be worse than what we have...the HMO mess and litigation playground that essentially came from Teddy Kennedy's brain.

The reason they are pushing this Health Care Bill down our throats; ... and what is never mentioned in regard to the Health Care Bill is that Medicare is broke; and the imminent approach of the’baby boomers’ to be added to the Social Security and Medicare roles is absolutely going to fail/bankrupt it.

... because there is no money in it. It was all spent on other programs, and now it is in a world of hurt.

Medicare must be reformed. There is no other answer.

If they said so ... it would indicate what a poor/disaster of a job the government has done with managing Medicare.

It saves face for them to call for a whole new Health Care department. Which will replace the Medicare Program we now have.

They focus it... (Health Care Bill)... on the uninsured ... it is a ploy. We know that anyone that goes to the emergency room is treated now. Not new .... it has been that way of years and years.

WAKE UP folks!

God help us in our day, in Jesus name. Amen.
