I have unsubscribed from President Obama’s “Organizing for America” email list. When asked the reason, I stated “I’m tired of all the hype.” For me, the last straw was his health care speech last night, which I turned off after the first two paragraphs.
And what did these paragraphs consist of? Health Care Insurance Horror Stories. Well, there are also Health Care Horror Stories, Hospital Horror Stories and the like. I don’t need to hear anecdotes.
Obama wants to ram the whole thing through. He told Congress last night that he was not the first president to try to reform health care, but he is determined to be the last. I think he should start at the bottom and work up.
We elected a president, not a king. Just because Obama says or thinks something is true doesn’t automatically make it so. Unfortunately, the Republicans are good at heckling and not much else. Hopefully, “centrists” like Joe Lieberman (my favorite) can slow down the “Obama Express”, which is beginning to look more and more like a train wreck.
