HOW DID BARAK OBAMA CLOSE THE HEALTHCARE SUMMIT?
66How did President Barak Obama close the healthcare summit meeting
attended by the democrat and republican members of congress. After
some six hours of debate the president gave notice to the republicans,
and the American people that he will move forward to pass a healthcare
bill with or without their votes or approval.
It was evident to the viewers that the president was arrogant and disturbed
to facts presented by the republican members. The democrat leadership
and the president apparently have not understood that the present
approved legislation is not acceptable by the majority of the American
people. Major polls reflect a 60% disapproval of the existing bill.
The C-Span televised summit gave the republican members an opportunity
to highlight their healthcare reform plan. The debate revealed that both
parties can agree on a solution to parts of the legislation. Disagreements
on tort reform, government paid abortion, government controlled healthcare,
$500 billion cuts to Medicare, additional taxes to pay for the bill, mandated
agencies to monitor the program, and the added cost to the deficit are
some sticking points with the republicans that need to be resolved.
.
President Barak Obama and the democrat members were allowed four
hours of the debate to two hours for the republican members. Normally
when congress debates, each party is allowed equal time of debate. Osama
ended each topic with the last rebuttal, it was apparent that the time
allotment was not fairly distributed.
There is much more that could be reported since it appears that the
president and the democrat leadership are determined to pass
leglislation.The people have notified their representatives that the
bill is not in their best interest or that of the country in these troubled times.
.
Take note that the democrats have been in control of congress since
Jan 2007. With the election of Barrack Obama in 2008 the democrats
were in super majority control of our government. Candidate Obama
promised change and promised jobs , transparent government, and to
listen to the people if elected. Now a little over one year, unemployment
is at 9.7% and the economy has yet to recover. Congress continues
to spent borrowed money and the deficit under the Obama administration
and this congress is $4.3 trillion, putting our nation at financial risk.
President Bush left office with a $1.3 trillion deficit of which $787 billion
was to bail out the banking industry. Today the banks have repaid the
$787 billion with interest reducing the Bush deficit to $600 billion.
According to the tarp bill, repaid monies were to be used to pay down
the deficit. The obama administration and congress have yet to return
the funds to the treasury.
The American people are not being told the truth about the soaring
deficit and the national debt. This congress and the president are not
listening to the people. The 111th congress has a 70% disapproval rating,
lowest in our history. The people need to demand that this congress
stop spending and provide the private sector jobs that was promised.
Wake up America before it’s too late, call your congressional
representatives and make them accountable. Without jobs the economy
will not rebound. The Obama administration and congress is telling the
american people that we are in a recovery when that is not true.
President Lincoln once said ‘’ to remain silent is to be a coward ‘’

The advice to irritate your congressmen is valid as long as your not the only one doing it.After al there is strength in numbers.
Well I for one agree that this country is headed down a dark path. If the current direction we are taking is not corrected we will end up worse than what Europe has been experiencing.
What people need to understand is that the Democratic Party wants people to become dependent upon them for everything.
This includes medicines, transportation and even food.
I am not saying the people do not need a helping hand from time to time. We Americans are known for giving a helping hand to people all over the world.
But a helping hand should be just that "help".
The current system of "help" places many people in a rut that they can not get out of.
i.e. Lets say you get laid off from your job. You have been an "productive citizen" your entire working life.
You have been able to pay you bills on time and after a little while of job searching you still can not find work to replace the income you had.
Meanwhile the savings has been spent paying the mortgage, groceries and gas for the vehicles.
If you decide to go get food stamps to help tide you over there are certain requirements that must be met.
1. If you have 2 vehicles you must sell one of them.
If one the couple has a job and the other one is looking for a job, selling one of the cars puts the person looking for a job out of the search.
2. If your vehicles are too "new" you must sell them and buy an older vehicle. This can lead to break downs and repairs further putting you in a hole.
The entire system is broken unless you realize that the people who usually promote this system of welfare have much to gain if you become dependent upon "them" for you well being.
I like Glen Beck. He is not afriad to tell it like it is and yep he make a lot of people really angry.

We can talk until we're blue in the face, but the President refuses to listen.
