If Obama is willing to Sacrifice his Presidency for Healthcare Reform, I Will Have His Back
Edited on Fri Aug-14-09 04:19 PM by SuperTrouper
All this stupidity coming from the right wing nuts including the incredibly shrinking woman Sarah palin and her Death Panels, etc etc. We need healthcare reform now, we have the votes, let's do it. The more townhall meetings that we have, the worse it will get since it allows the stupid and uninformed people to have a platform to distort reality. Remember the lady with unkempt hair telling McCain "He (Obama)is an Arab"? Well, that is what we are fighting against. Elderly patients living and dying on Medicare for several decades are screaming "we do not want Government-run insurance" WTF??? And what do you think Medicare is? :mad: Young people feel entitled to demand brain MRI's for tension headaches from their physicians (because work is so stressful, and my wife yells all the time) and get them because the physicians have no balls to tell them "no" because they are afraid to be sued. So sue me!!! Not only do we need to reform healthcare, we need to reform pharmaceuticals and insurance companies AND ABOVE ALL we need to reform America's attitude...we want to be perfect, we do not want a single ache from arthritis, we are 95 years old and go to the doctors complaining "I don't feel strong, I feel weak, I am tired, I cannot play golf" Hello??? You're f-ing 95! What do you expect? I am not advocating Canada's system..I am advocating attitude change, why can't we be content with our lives and welcome aging, disease, and aches as part of life? Swedn does...Denmark does..and so does Norway... and they have a better life expectancy than us, 84 compared to 75-77! So Obama is right, the time is now to reform health care. History does not judge a Presdient by the terms that he served or by the years that he/she and his/her Party is in power. History judges a President by the strength of his convictions and his desire to do well and benefit his people..so if Obama is a one-term Presdient, so be it. I know that if he does well by our country I will go to my grave blessing his name until my last breath.

1. Are you thinking Obama's planning an LBJ-style retirement?
Do you think he'll say in 2011, "I shall not seek, nor shall I accept..." and throw his endorsement behind either Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden?

2. I was JUST THINKING THIS the other day. What if that's the deal for Hillary?
He steps aside. She is not involved in any of the domestic issues--she's been burnishing her foreign policy credentials.

PERFECT!!! Well, almost. Having Obama for 8 years and then Hillar for 8. Now that is perfect.

3. No. He will be re-nominated but with the propaganda that the Repubes
will unleash against our President, America has been fooled many times before, just remember that an idiot like George W. Bush got elected once and stole the 2000 election, the GOP is capable of anything
