What an Obama-nation

I think Glen Beck was right. I strongly agree that our president is a racist. The events of Cambridge Massachusetts being case in point. I'll agree the GOP has been fueling that fire, but isn't that, or shouldn't that be the least of our worries?

The campaign promises of the last dozen or so presidents has been health care reform. And why wouldn't it? It is in the top two most important concerns of must Americans. I was watching an unamed news channel that ran a story about campaign promises such as this one. The news anchor reporting the story, offered video clips of presidential candidates promising to fix health care in the united states. The last clip they showed was Barack Obama issuing the same promise. The reporter almost seemed to boast that President Obama is the only presidential candidate that offered any kind of time frame.

To paraphrase his speech, he stated that his aggressive health care reform plan will completely fix our health care crisis in 10 years. I think almost everyone who watched that speech live, sat in stunned silence, even by his own party. Banking on his promise, voters ran to their polls and elected our first African American President. He knew he could capture the baby-boomer vote with this promise, but his time frame clearly illustrates a deception.

Take a moment and think through this carefully. Why would he use a 10 year time frame? It's simple. Can't figure it out? Let me give you two words as a clue: term limits. By issuing a ten year goal, if health care is reformed in ten years, then he can take credit for putting the plan into motion. If it fails, it will do so long after Mr. Obama leaves the White House. If that happens, Obama can easily blame the next administration.

I encourage you to take this to heart. He does not care one little bit about this promise. Being independently wealthy and the result of his presidency, he will likely never pay another cent for health care as long as he lives. So, no matter what happens with health care, he will never be affected by it.
