Obama Vacation

Our president is vacationing on Martha's Vineyard this week, and the media has been asked to allow the president a week free of media attention. This, after spending the first 8 months of his presidency barely missing a single day in front of the cameras to promote any number of administration goals, and also while holding more press conferences in 8 months, than George W. Bush held, in eight years and to this I say Mr. President, please do enjoy your vacation from the media and may I speak for the rest of us when I say we'll sure enjoy the vacation away from you.

Obamacare, rationing for seniors, & the lack of respect for life in America

If you consider that America's largest cities are laden with violence, crime, poverty and the like, many people say that there is simply a lack of respect for life among America's youth. Obamacare is evolving into a debate among liberal ideologues and older Americans, over whether or not it's worth it to spend resources on healthcare for seniors. Consider that Obamacare itself is about disrespecting America's elders, and whether or not the lack of respect for life among so many inner-city youth, are connected.

Obamacare

When President Obama said that his intent was to reform healthcare, he insisted that he only was concerned with the nature in which healthcare was financed. In fact, anyone reading the 1000+ page House bill (H.R. 3200) will see that this bill is simply an effort courtesy of the federal government, to take over the American healthcare system, and that is where the president has forfeited the debate: he has not been straightforward about his intent, healthcare is an obviously critical matter, and the combination of those factors has Americans concerned to the point where they are taking to the streets as America has not seen, since the Vietnam Era. Not to mention, the president responding by implying those concerned makeup an "angry mob" that needs to "shut up and get out of the way" is not going to change anyones' position, that this bill is a threat to their health.
