President Obama gave his high stakes health care speech to a joint session of Congress last night.  He is a good speaker, but that’s about it.  He talks out of both sides of his mouth.  He talked about those who have been spreading lies about the health care plan that has been on the table.  He talked about death panels and “pulling the plug on grandma.” He said this is a lie.  Well Obama hasn’t talked about “death panels” specifically, but with rationing care that’s what it could turn into.  Imagine my mother who last April received a pacemaker.  Would she have recieved that pacemaker under rationed care?  My gut says probably not.  My heart can’t even imagine the other possibility.  Obama has talked about rationed care and deciding who gets a hip or other surgeries.  So maybe the verbage is not the same, but the concept is the same.  He talked about politicians who have gone around misrepresenting what is in the bill and he threatened those that do this.  He said he would “call them out”.  Well Mr. Obama, you need to be called out.  Before being elected President, Obama was one of the most liberal senators.  This continues as President.  He does not work both sides of the aisle. He can say his plan is bi-partisan and he supports ideas that Senator John McCain and President George W. Bush have presented, but it is nothing but a granstand.  He is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people once again.  I certainly hope that as people watched last night that there was no foggy haze blowing in their homes as Obama spoke lulling them back into the haze of the election.  His speech was suppose to be civil to the Congress, but his thinly failed jabs at conversatives were evident.  I am not a big fan of Rush Limbaugh. He’s a little too coarse for me.  However, I stand with him when he says ” I hope this president fails.”  I hope he does fail on trying to ramrod his healthcare reform down the throats of the citizens of the United States. He says don’t worry, if you have insurance now.  Nothing will change.  That’s simply not true. He laid out all sorts of ideas that sound good, but when it comes down to it we, the people of the United States of America, will be paying for it.  We need to continue the rallying cry, “We are mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it anymore.”  Tell your senators and representatives how you feel.  Don’t let Obama get away with this.
