Obama's Broken Promises
I hate to say this, but it’s true. I’m extremely disappointed in Obama. There were so many things we were promised that have not been delivered.
For example, as nurse and frequent monetary contributor, I was promised a seat on one of the Death Panels. When this did not materialize, I was promised a seat on one of the boards that decided who would be rounded up and sent to Interment Camps. I had already promised some of my Republican friends I’d rule strongly in favor of them being sent to some of the nice ones, with private toilets. This did not materialize either, and now I look like a big fat liar. Thanks, Barack.
Also, where are all those guns and Bibles we were supposed to be taking away from people? Most of the people I know have more guns, not less. Not one single freaking gun has been taken away from anybody! You were going to destroy the second amendment, you promised! How are we supposed to conduct a proper “roundup” with all these millions of people with guns?
I assumed, by now, my grandchildren would be learning all about Saul Alinsky and Marxism/Leninism in public schools (headed by Bill Ayers, by the way), and being taught all about the benefits of communism. My grandchildren don’t even know who Saul Alinsky is and they think Lenin was a Beatle ! WTH?!
And health care was supposed to be FREE .. for everybody. "Medicare for all", we called it. As a nurse, I was really excited about this, because I wouldn’t have to work half as hard as I do now. We all knew there would be lines out the door, and no one would be able to get treatment, since every citizen would be eligible for it. I could take my sweet time getting to them, because everybody knows that people in those dangerous socialist countries like France and Sweden die all the time from lack of health care. It was expected!
As it is, these people without insurance still come to my ER and expect to be treated immediately, even when they’re having a heart attack. You even expanded coverage for poor kids. Can you imagine?! At least Newt wants to put them to work as janitors; but you, you’re putting food on their table and that wife of yours is encouraging them to eat well and prosper!
All those old and poor people were supposed to be first to go. Instead, you cut prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients by 50% and began eliminating the plan’s gap in coverage. You preserved access to care for Medicare beneficiaries and expanded eligibility for Medicaid. What were you thinking?
And where’s my money? You said we’d share the wealth. Take all the money away from those greedy millionaires and spread it around. But I have just about the same amount of money I did when this whole thing started. More broken promises !
Then, you were supposed to flood the country with illegal aliens, like Che Guevara. Instead, you request $600 million in emergency funding, deported more illegals and deployed more drones on the border.
Instead of promoting and appeasing terrorists, like you were ordered to do, you went and killed Bin Laden, and those pirates and saved a bunch of Americans. You caught more terrorists in one month than Bush/Cheney did in six years. You were NOT supposed to destroy the leadership of Al Qaeda, get the last U.S. troops out of Iraq, and assist in toppling two Middle Eastern dictators!
I think this ‘leader of the free world’ stuff has detracted you from your original Mission.
(oh, and that secret ‘fist-bump’ was supposed to be SECRET!)
Also, and this really upsets me, we had been working for decades to sneak you into American politics. From the day you were born a Muslim in Kenya, we’d worked tirelessly faking all those documents and paying people off to say they knew you. And look what you went and did. You waited so long to release that fake birth certificate that Donald Trump found you out ! The Donald, no less !
You’ve been careless, Mr. President.
Well, four years later, here we are, in a stupid democracy or republic or whatever. Our military is stronger than ever, the economy is improving, and Americans are going back to work. George Bush left you a PERFECT STORM to turn this republic into a commie/socialist empire, but you’ve blown it. Really, really blown it. All you had to do was let all those car companies go bankrupt, quit stimulating the stupid economy and trying to create jobs! Hell, those Republicans who keep voting down your jobs bill are doing more to wreck this country than you are! And now, we have Clint Eastwood on TV reminding people of all that crap you did for Detroit.
Clint ! It’s as bad as having John Wayne touting your achievements.
Well, I could go on, but I think you get my point. You’ve wimped out. Our one chance at getting a real Manchurian Candidate into office and you’ve blown it. Oh, sure, we’ll start hearing all those tired scary slogans again and seeing all those photoshopped pictures of you with your hand over the wrong side of your chest, not wearing a flag pin. But who are we going to fool this time? People will say you were just biding your time, waiting for the safety of your second term to start turning America into the communist state we’ve all been waiting for.
But I won’t be fooled again. You’ve betrayed us. And worst of all, I think you’ve started believing your own fake identity.
You’ve turned into a real American.
And me? Well, I’m being sent back on another mission: to try to find the next Manchurian Candidate. It’s going to be freakin cold in Siberia. Thanks for nothing.

= new reply since forum marked as read
and agree that I too am disappointed. I'll stand next to you while the flamers come at you and the lists come flying.
-p
Lol, very good! 
we must face as a nation and I'm on board with everything and more that you listed.
But I'm ALREADY seeing the same stupid photoshopped pics and "commie" smears these idiots on the far right tried last time. So I decided it was time to make a little fun of them.
I'm in no way dismissing the seriousness of what we face in the next four years. Just trying to have a little fun 
You have to understand, right now I'm living in East Tennessee. Lord have mercy ! I needed the comic relief.
the minute he walked in the door of the WH. I think that may have been a harbinger of things to come -- the unyielding opposition that would come. 
gripes that we started hearing about way back when was about what they call "pay for performance", where the documentation has to be up to par and patient satisfaction (in other words PATIENT CARE) has to be at an acceptable level to get Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement. So, if you are understaffed, and your patient waits 8 hours for treatment, or gets substandard treatment, or you have nurses on the floor responsible for 15 patients.. then your scores, ergo, your pay, will go down.
Of course, NO hospital wants to staff as needed. I mean, why give ER patients a 1:3 nurse ratio when you can get away with giving them one nurse who's going nuts trying to take care of 7 patients?
At least half of the patients I see in ERs in the south have NO insurance whatsoever. And we know we aren't getting paid. Up north, the ratios are a bit better, but still, every patient having insurance.. how can that be a BAD thing? Preventative medicine and insurance won't be a negative.. for anybody, IMHO.
I don't agree with the way we're getting there, but baby steps, baby steps
going where I expected it to go.
Good post!
I will be Emailing to RWing Freaks that keep sending me emails!
I've got one heart left to give, and you most certainly deserve it.

a nice plankton newly-grown by Monsanto, but it didn't have quite the "right" flavor.
I think, once we get the panels and camps running, we might be able to return to the Original Recipe :

My first batch, I'd like to call "Santorum Green"
And I don't say that lightly K Gardner. Thanks for sharing this.
great job K Gardner.
With some minor editing,
this is good enough to send to some bigger outlets.
kudos, you guys ! It was one I especially enjoyed writing !
