Good thing Alan Grayson is looking out for what “America wants”. He says America Wants Health Care Reform. He’s right. What he doesn’t state is that at least half of “America” agrees that health care needs to be reformed, we just don’t want what the White House is proposing and probably never will.

That’s how they do things on “that” side of the table. They lie, try to create fear with drama and if that doesn’t work they lie some more. Don’t tell America what America wants Mr. Grayson. I can show you what some 15 million Americans want. They want jobs. You know it, I know it, the world knows it and you’re diversion tactics won’t work. B+ for the delivery though. More believable content needed. Better luck next time.

Health Care (whatever the heck passes) isn’t even going to go into effect until 2013 (convenient?), yet we have over 15 million Americans people out of jobs TODAY. How can that be? Do you seriously think that these people who can’t even pay their bills give one flip about health care? How delusional are you?

Grayson also has a message about Olympia Snowe
“We as a party have spent the last 6-months, the greatest minds of our party, dwelling on the question; the unbelievably consuming question, of how to get Olympia Snowe to vote for health care reform. I want to remind us all, Olympia Snowe was not elected president last year. Olympia Snowe has no veto power in the Senate. Olympia Snowe represents a state with one half of one percent of America’s population.”

Does he have a writer and a drama coach?
Grayson then goes on to state that if Barack Obama had a BLT for lunch tomorrow “they” (Republicans) would try to ban bacon.

Is he kidding? What do you think would happen to Barack Obama’s approval rating if he and his cronies actually did something like… got America back to work?

Duh?

Thank you to the commenter!

David Bowie Suffragette CityAll through the Obama campaign, the words hope, change, and transparency exemplified what we, as a nation would experience with President Obama. Now, one year later, people are coming to understand we’ve been fooled again. Speeches and debates during a campaign are merely “words that work.”

“There’s only room for one and here (s)he comes, here (s)he comes” – David Bowie, Suffragette City

Agree with him or not, the Barack Obama speeches were slick monologues written to get America to buy. With his charming smile, perfect delivery, charisma, and honest eyes, the majority of America bought the lemon. He was “the one.” As with the slimiest of salesmen, the Obama camp wasn’t interested in the re-order, they just wanted the sale.

Suffragette City
As backup, the Obama camp spread the word of hope, change and transparency through a group called ACORN, tasked with getting as many men, women, and Disney characters to register to vote. “This is our time! Be heard!” (And the crowd… went… wild). [click to continue…]

Food Drop

Dear Mr. President:

“We The People” realize you have an agenda that must be met. It’s got to be difficult for you and your “buds” in the white house to spin plates all day yet accomplish so little. I’m writing today so I can help you prioritize your “to do” list.

Today there will be approximately:

  • 60 Americans who will die from being uninsured
  • 109 who will die in an automobile accident related death
  • 2,191 people who will attempt suicide
  • 1,566 homes in California alone will be foreclosed on. This means approximately 2,700 people will no longer have the security they had just a few months ago.
  • 15 million (and we know that number is actually much higher) have lost their jobs. They have no way to pay their bills. Over 4 million of them have been out of a job for 6 months… 182 days.

unemployment-linesBut the number of unemployed doesn’t just affect 15 million people Mr. President. The number of unemployed also affects the immediate family of the unemployed. That number also creates a hardship on the friends and relatives of the unemployed.

Let’s be real with that number. Today 90 million people will be in some way affected by unemployment. Some won’t eat. Some won’t sleep. Some won’t have a place to live. Some will give their savings to a family member in need.

dexter-boy-geniusWe know your agenda is just that, your agenda, and actually we’re used to that. It doesn’t shock many of us anymore. It was a tricky, tricky, tricky move to bring in all the Doctors (in lab coats no less). They looked like the lost cast of Dexters Laboratory Much more on that in a post later today.

We’re happy that you and your family are eating fresh fruit and vegetables from a new market near the White House. Mmm, Mmm, Mmm. We’re excited to know that we can still afford to pay for 2 jumbo jets for you, your wife, and Oprah to go to Denmark at over 1 million dollars per plane when so many of us can’t even afford 3 meals a day. I’m glad we could help you out.
