A Man On His Way To Bitterness

Click on the title to read about how someone behaves when he has ideas but he really doesn't know how to implement them or get people to carry them out. This is how children get when they don't get their way. We don't need a child president. We need a real leader. A real leader brings people together and searches for common ground. We might have had health care reform by now if Obama had insisted on a bipartisan plan from the beginning, one that would work for at least most of the people in this country. He should have repeatedly sent Reid and Pelosi back to the Republicans and had them work and work until they found that common ground. Instead he allowed the dems to shut out the Republicans and cut horrific back room deals. This action alone signifies a deep desire to put his own radical agenda over that of the American people. He would like us to believe he wasn't responsible for all those back room deals ("I didn't cut those deals") but the bottom line is that he encouraged the environment that allowed those things to happen. His silence implied tacit support of anything that would allow his radical agenda to pass. He wants us to think he has shouldered the blame, that he has changed and he can deliver a hell of a speech to make us think so. This means that we must all realize the koolaid still has potency even though more and more people are becoming aware and immune to it's effects. The task before us now is to stay alert, stay informed, and stay away from the kool aid. We also must continue to contact our senators and congressman concerning health care, and other important issues. Even though jobs and the economy are now the top focus, we can't count on the dems to drop their brand of health care reform. We can never again allow congress to operate without direct oversight from the American people. We can never again allow health care or any other issue to become the total domain of one party. We must fight for common ground and fight for meaningful reforms that will really cut costs and really help the American people.
