Obamacare vs Romneycare

Evidently it was a great idea to put Romney health care in Massachusetts, but its not okay to give it to the rest of America. When a commercial came out about a Kansas steel worker who lost his job due to Romney's Bain-economics the Romney camp had to defend its closing of the Steel plant, the life's blood of the community. The man in the commercial lost his job, his health insurance and when his wife got sick, he lost his wife. The man stated Romney is out of touch with his actions. Hmmm, that brings up the question; did Romney know what would happen to the hundreds of workers he flushed out of the work force. Did he offer them other work options? Could he have? Did he even try?

Okay, so the best part? His spokesperson, Andrea Saul, tells fox news that if that that man and his wife lived in Massachusetts they would have been covered under Romney's health care system?

Wait! What does that mean? That the healthcare that system in Mass is okay, but Romney doesn't want to share it with the rest of the country. Do they want everyone to move to Mass when they get sick?

Sheesh!
Do these people even think before they speak? Has Andrea Saul been missing the hundreds of statements by Romney saying he would repeal Obamacare if elected?

Sorry, but the Romney camp doesn't seem to know they're doing. They spew these statements without a thought to what Romney stands for (if we could figure out what it is he stands for-it seems to change constantly) and I don't think they talk to each other. Camera on? Time to ramble senselessly....
I'd hate to see what he'd do if put in charge of the country. He can't even seem to run a campaign.

Senate Seat for Sale...

Did he really think he'd get away with this?

Okay, ego is one thing but selling a senate seat to the highest bidder? Really?

In case you missed it, read here. Gov. Rod Blagojevich thought he could make some personal profit from selling the seat vacated by Prez-elect Obama.

I would think the best he should have hoped for was an assignment to Obama's cabinet yet this guy figures he can take the highest bidder for personal profit. (Did he forget about ebay? Things go for really big bucks there.)

No, instead he plays let's make a deal. Gotta job for my wife? Good salary for me? I'll start up a non-profit and you can pay me big bucks and POOF! You're a senator!

I understand politics, I know how the appointment game gets played but there are somethings ya probably shouldn't try. Selling Senate seats is probably one of them.

Rumor: Jesse Jackson was involved. Eh, I doubt that. Jesse denies it and I believe him. I'm not a fan but he's too smart for this stuff.

Okay, now I have to say one more thing: What's up with that hair?

Obama

From the beginning Obama reminded me of JFK. His quiet strength, intelligence and forward thinking radiates hope. Something our country needs right now. With sinking economy, soring jobless rates and general feeling of malcontent we need a man with new ideas. And Obama is it. I feel good about this election. For whatever reason Americans (Democrats AND Republicans) voted for Obama the message is clear; America needs change. We need a president who worked his way through school, (Harvard!) spent time with the little guy, and understands what the real America really needs.

Regan started trickle down economics and it worked--for awhile. Obama's plane seems more like trickle up economics. Give money to the little guy, he in turns spends money, enriches our economy and putting more into the hands of the wealthy.

This makes more sense. If the little guy has nothing to spend big business won't be so big anymore. He needs the little guy to spend so he can reap the profits.

Obama is inheriting a big mess and anyone who expects miracles and a quick turn around--well, it ain't gonna happen. His first priority is to clean up the mess left behind by our present prez.

But after that --> Watch out! Obama has the brains and ideas to turn this country around.

America, you made a wise choice.

The debate about the debate-The solution

Why don' t we just move the debate to Washington? Then the candidates could do their senate thing and the debate.
Problem solved, right?
So why haven't any of these great minds thought about it?

AMERICA NEEDS A CHANGE

I have to say I'm leaning very strongly toward Obama. Let's face it. After eight years of Bush's republican politics we need someone to change things. We're in an unnecessary war, highest foreclosure and unemployment rates ever and between gas and tolls we can't even afford to get to work even if we could find a job.

Its time for a change and I don't think McCain is it. Here's a man who is so rich he doesn't even know how many houses he owns. (The number is between 7 and 9.) Think of it this way. You have a house that includes: Mortgage, Taxes, Insurance, Utilities. You keep it nicely furnished which costs money, buy food to feed your family and any entertainment you can factor into your budget. Do you really think McCain has any idea how much it costs to live in America? He doesn't even know how many houses he has! How could he possibly know how much they cost to run?

By the way, Obama has one house. He's the one I'm voting for. He lives in the real world.
