"White America does not like the idea that they are ruled by a black man because they are opposed to equality of the races"

Liberalman, do you know the difference between 'GOVERNING' and 'RULING'?

I don't think you do, and neither does the least prepared, most-over-in-his head pretender, Obama.

If Obama was a white man government health care would be a reality in America

Liberalman, obviously forgetting that a WHITE president (Clinton) with similar majority in the Senate and the House in 1993 failed to implement nationalized health care, said:

"If Obama was a white man government health care would be a reality in America".

The End of the Road for Barack Obama?


Tuesday, 09 March 2010 09:59



'It is a universal political truth that administrations do not begin to fragment when things are going well: it only happens when they go badly, and those who think they know better begin to attack those who manifestly do not. The descent of Barack Obama's regime, characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate. It was just 16 months ago that weeping men and women celebrated his victory over John McCain in the American presidential election. If they weep now, a year and six weeks into his rule, it is for different reasons.'

Absolutely true. If the insiders sense that the President isn't slated for re-election they start jumping ship. People have to plan their long-term employment and cannot chance being out of a job. Thus, the better people, knowing they have employment only through January 20, 2013 and not through January 20, 2017 start leaving. This runs the gamut from Cabinet members to speechwriters. Also, likely opponents for the Democratic Party nomination (i.e. Hilary Clinton) need to leave a decent interval before they're going to start campaigning against their erstwhile employer.

It was just 16 months ago that weeping men and women celebrated his victory over John McCain in the American presidential election. If they weep now, a year and six weeks into his rule, it is for different reasons.'

Even though I didn't vote for him, and downright despise most of his policies it still showed that while the United States may not have solved its racial problems it's further down the road than most lands in being a genuinely multiracial society.

Obama To Block Release Of Incriminating Photos


Wednesday, 10 March 2010 09:02



'On Wednesday, Obama said he “would try to block the court-ordered release of photos showing U.S. troops abusing prisoners.” The release, which was to be the result of a Freedom of Information Act request made by the ACLU, had been reasonable in the final weeks of April, but today, Obama chose to come out against the release.
According to the Associated Press, “out of concern [that] the pictures would "further inflame anti-American opinion" and endanger U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan” Obama planned to block them.'

I'm sure that will be a disappointment to all his accolytes, especially after getting the most important bill passed since our Charter of Freedoms (which is insurpassable)

I cannot understand the visceral hate. But, then again, I'm not American.

I can Spade, every great person has their detractors a lot of it is just jeolousy. I suppose by putting "some mud on their boots" it somehow makes them easier to accept as human.

Obama's health care bill is so damned sensible I can't understand why not one Republican voted for it.. Is there some secret reason why Republicans don't want people to have health care. I would have thought the health care bill would be pure "Mom's apple pie" and impossible to vote against.

#Juan- I think like most things it probably has a downside, I'm can only guess but I think there's two reasons 1. people are afraid of the tax implications and 2. A lot of people just don't like Gov't.s sticking their noses into things they'd rather see run by the private sector. I hear a lot of bad mouthing about the Republicans who voted against it, but the shallow minds can't see it isn't them, for their own political longevity they have to vote for what their electorate wants or in 2012 it's Good bye.

Health Care Reform Bill Dooms America to Pharma-Dominated Sickness and Suffering


Monday, 22 March 2010 07:37



'Today the medical mafia struck another devastating blow to the health and freedom of all Americans. With the support of an inarguably corrupt Congress that has simply abandoned the real needs of the American people, the sick-care industry has locked in a high-profit scheme of disease and monopoly-priced pharmaceuticals in a nation that can ill afford either one.
And this Pharma-funded betrayal, it turns out, was led by the Democrats. Passed on a 219-212 vote that was only accomplished thanks to closed-door, last-minute secret meetings among the last holdouts, this new legislation puts America under the stranglehold of the medical mafia while doing absolutely nothing to address real health care reform. There is no mention in the bill, for example, of vitamin D for preventing cancer, or orthomolecular medicine for preventing degenerative disease. There's not even a word about protecting health freedom or ending the century of oppression that has been waged against naturopathic practitioners by the AMA, FDA and FTC.
The new legislation does, however, lock in billions of dollars in monopoly profits for the pharmaceutical companies -- the same companies who spent millions of dollars pushing for its passage and who depend on the continuation of sickness and disease for their future profits.'

They do not want the Obama health care given to them by the democrats without any republican input. They were told this is what it will be like it or not, as were the people.

Definitely two competing lobbies - Pharma and Insurance. That`s a heavyweight matchup.

Having said that, how does not having medical coverage support the needs of anyone?

If we ask the question, "Who doesn't want health care reform?" I would say it would be the health insurance companies who won't make nearly as much money after Obama's bill. Health care companies have invested zillions of dollars into keeping the status quo. The Republicans were told to vote for the party line and that is what they did.
We have universal health care in Canada. Thank God for the Canada Health Act.
