i think some people are so caught up in fear of "government" they almost won't give them a chance to help people and assume it will be a bad thing.
every administration has controlled something....can anyone say "wire tap?" 
but not every politician and not every president is out to be a "dictator" which the president that shall not be named....liked as long as he was the dictator....
this has unfairly been labeled "obamacare" and it isn't all about just him...and i have to start thinking people are having preconceived notions because the don't like the man... |
Well, you can look at the substance of what I say, or just figure I'm making it all up. Just because someone tells me "you know what, I represent the government, and I've got this great idea for socialized healthcare" doesn't mean I just automatically say "Well, you represent my government, you must be trustworthy! No explanation necessary, go right ahead!"
And most people are like that. I'm beginning to think that people are so enamored of Obama that they refuse to think he might not be the personal savior they think he is.
But, that's that. These elections show that Obamacare is in trouble, whatever comes down the pike is going to be much different than the plans we've been hearing about, so the final outcome might actually have the non-socialized healthcare people being a part of the debate. As of yet, they have been 100% silenced and ignored.
I don't know if you bothered to watch the short video I posted with Wolf Blitzer, but it's an interview with Obama's SENIOR advisor, and he is flat out saying that they are going to be AGAINST any type of free market competitions solution to this problem, while still using words like "consumer choice" in a context that is inaccurate.

Frankly aggie the only reason people in this country can sit back and say they trust the president is because we have a form of government that supports dissent. People like me speaking out is the reason we have such freedoms to begin with.
