I'm constantly amazed at people who complain about the difficulty in dealing with the government in other areas (unemployment, social security, the IRS, etc.) but then fail to realize that health care will be JUST AS BAD! It took my step-father three months to get his SS check, and the second month they deposited it in some other bank account and ... See Morethen told him it wasn't sent out, wait till next month. Are these the people we want making decisions about our health? Are these the people we want to have charge over surgeries and medications? And if the public option is so good, why does congress want to be exempt?

Political Friends Time for President Obama to stop campaigning and to actually be President

politicalfriends.blogspot.com
Critics of America should consider carefully whether they really want what they have wished for: an America more restrained, "back in its box" deferential to other countries --or even, less successful.

Unfortunately the GOP is in a race to its death -- best to fight fire with fire-so we can survive the demonic thrust of that stupid party. Once they are depleted - which is just around the corner, President Obama can seem less like the campaigner you take him for and more like th President he is.
