When will the people who voted in this band of kinder & gentler ,weak ass ,anti-american administration bums!!! admit to voters remorse ,and falling for a used car salemen line and sweet talk. This administration is in bed with the same people who laugh at patriotism and traditional values i.e. unions,college professors,ACLU,radical socialist,secular progressives,hollywood celeberities, people who had no clue what a destructive blow obama is to this country. I'm on the tea party train!!!
Too bad this couldn't be this to the weasel Leiberman, when he threated to derail health care reform, if it had a public option. This guy is more worried about himself and his wife getting $400K from a medical company in Conn. This was more important to getting Americans off of corporate profit medical insurance. He's clearly trying to set himself up to be a medical insurance lobbist in 2012.
hey man just go smoke another doobie and have some cheeto's and mountain dew and chill out , then take a 45.cal pistol put it in your mouth and pull the trigger,please pass this on to your liberal dumb ass friends. Maybe it'll start a chain reaction.
Wait, if I am a liberal what am I doing with a .45 cal pistol? more over, if I am high, full of cheeto's and on a dew buzz I would be WAY too happy to shoot myself...
yeah...you are THAT fucking stupid...
Not that I would expect anything less from an inbred redneck.
So you're a Georgia Bulldog??? With your attitude toward my government, it is no wonder that I get sick every time I have to visit your stinking state. My great great grandfather died at Andersonville, and I won't ever forgive you for that.
How is it facist? I want facts and an argument if your going to have the balls to say such harsh rhetoric you better back it up with a solid case. Lets here it?
Republicans are not only the party of hate, they are the party of incompetence. The era of socially conservative, fiscally irresponsible a-hole republicans is over. You are the Know-Nothing party.
Listen to all the cry baby republican and crazy tea baggers whine like little sissies. You pukes can all go to hell. You cant hurt America any more you traitors.
Obama has proven no better than W. and thankfully I voted for neither!
Amazing how the ignorant will allow themselves to be led to the gates of hell(the course of the country going down the drain) just because the same thing is slapped with a different label and face.
How great it must feel to behave just as abhorrently as many Republicans did when they were in power.
Griffith never voted with Dems anyway. He won't be missed. Of course the Dems are gonna not let him keep committee positions after he slapped them in the face and swapped parties. The GOP has done the same when they were in power and had members switch and come to the Democratic side of the aisle.
Nancy Pelosi playing politics as usual. Griffith is a true conservative patriot and I'm glad he decided to team with the other remaining patriots in congress. A conservative businessman like him deserves better than the Democrat party.
"conservative" and "patriot" - there's an oxymoron. Unless you consider handing over the country lock, stock, and barrel to corporations to be "patriotic."
Isn't Griffith just acting to save his own behind from the approaching catastrophe facing the Democratic Party come November? If he was a true conservative with real principles, wouldn't he have abandoned the Pelosi ship in 2006? After all, it was crystal clear in 2006 that Pelosi was a big government socialist.
A true conservative with principles? Isn't that an oxymoron? Conservative a-holes don't even have principals since most of them are home schooled because they can't cut the academic standards of a public education. Its so much easier to sit at home while mommy tells you how "special" you are. Trouble is, when tou got to the real world you thought everything would be handed to you, you bums.
The beauty of life in America is when one group of corrupt incompetent shysters takes power and makes a complete disaster of things as has happened with Barack Hussein Obama and his gang of thieves, the American people have a chance to correct their mistake. When will you "progressives" learn that socialism has been a dismal failure everywhere it's been tried?
I know about the beauty of America. Its why I love her. What I cant figure out why you hate her. You did not answer if you think we should do away with medicare all together?
I don't hate America. I hate Barack Hussein Obama and his fellow shysters who have sold out to the medical insurance lobby, the trial lawyers and the military industrial complex. I guess in your mind, a person who opposes the thieves of the medical insurance industry, the trial lawyers, and the military industrial complex hates America. And to support these low life shysters means you love America. Sad.
Are there competent elected officials and incompetent elected officials? Of course. Are there some who work for the people when others work for themselves only or for their wealthy supporters? Of course. Was Bill Clinton more successful and more focused on putting America back to work after a Bush Administration than Barack Obama? Clearly. Why are you satisfied with Obama's incompetent cluelessness? Why not reject incompetent cluelessness whatever the party label?
Current economic indicators suggest the economy is improving. Interest rates on mortgages are ticking up, market is bouncing back, manufacturing is looking up. Banks are repaying tarp money. How bad is it gonna suck for you when Obama leads us out of your mess and you have egg on your face? I hope you get the hell out after this. You don't belong here. You are a traitor. Get out. We dont want you here.
Current economic indicators suggest the economy is in a whole lot of trouble. And with a clueless incompetent in the White House leading Democratic Party lemmings off the electoral cliff in the upcoming midterm elections, one can understand the mental meltdowns of "progressives" like the one you are obviously experiencing. Obama was a first term US Senator with no executive experience and limited legislative experience. No wonder lobbyists for health care saw him for the easy mark he is.
You stupid a-holes would be yelling that the sky is falling if they could pave the streets with gold. I am so sick of your bitching. You had your chance to contribute to the process and you decided to be dead weight. Well guess what? Nobody gives a shit what you think. Go back to shutting the hell up.
It's clear why you love Obama. Like Obama, you yourself are clueless. You have no ideas on ending the recession. All you have is blind trust in a President who is clearly incompetent and clueless and leading the nation to economic disaster. And your response to this clear truth is to get verbally abusive and angry. Nice. Merry Christmas to you!
Which stock is at its 52 year high? Or did you lie about that too? Can you even tell the truth? Are you capable? Or do you live in such an flocked up fantasy world that you actually believe your own delusional thoughts?
According to Howard Dean who is a physician and former Governor of Vermont as well as former Democratic Party chairman and as noted in the Huffington Post--the composite for ALL health insurance firm stock prices are at 52 year highs. How does that coffee smell, Einstein? God, are you a dope!
The New York Stock Exchange Healthcare Index measures the healthcare industry within the NYSE marketplace and provides a benchmark for measuring the performance of the healthcare industry as a whole. It, like most stock benchmarks, is currently off its 2007 highs. That makes you a liar. Does that suprise anyone? You dirty, filthy sub-human animal. You cant tell the truth because you are a pile of human waste. You filthy piece of shat. This is why we Americans hate you filthy liar tea baggers.
We're talking about health insurance companies, not health care in general, Mr. Einstein. Stay with me now. Keep focused. Howard Dean is not a tea bagger or a right winger. He knows more than me or you about what's going on in Washington with our incompetent clueless President and his shyster cronies you love so much. And he says health INSURANCE stock prices are at 52 YEAR highs. And this is after those same companies kicked Obama's behind and made him and you like it.
I heard the Canada and some European country health care system been called socialism. Personally I rather have that system a lot more than (our) US system.
I am not sure what is a progressive to tell you the truth. I think I am a liberal but I am really sure what liberal are supposed to stand for. I will check out later on. thx for that reminder.
Oh the other hand, I agree with you that the current health care bill is not good at all. I wish we had the choice to buy in medicare. That would have been great. Even better would be a one system health care like the police and the fireman...
@elec: mistakes were corrected. that's why the world disrespects gwb & we voted in dems in all branches. the 'one group of corrupt incomptent shysters' that took 'power & [made] a complete disaster of things' is now out of office.
anyways, how is the healthcare bill 'socialism' when it benefited the private healthcare corps. even raising their stocks? read a newspaper, buddy.
I'm glad you understand the world so well and can speak for the entire world. Impressive. The health care bill is a work in progress set in motion by the incompetent, inexperienced Obama. Once he set the agenda, the health insurance lobby predictably hijacked it and because of his inexperience and his incompetence, Obama raised the white flag of surrender. Still, as I pay increased health care costs for lower quality care, I'll take comfort that the world loves Obama.
I'm glad you can speak for the whole world. Not! You paranoid bastards represent less than one percent of the population and I will laugh in your face at your next tea bagger rally. You queers should just move the hell out of my country. No one wants you here. Moron.
Except that the Democrats have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and the Senate rejected single payer. So you got that wrong. It is irrelevant what the neo cons and the Republicans want at this point. The problem is the Democrats. They talk a good game and fool really good readers like you, but when it comes time to deliver--they only deliver for the insurance companies, the health care conglomerates, the pharmaceuticals and the trial lawyers. Oh, but they care about people!
@E: wrong. dems dont have a filibuster proof majority - esp when there's only 58 dems, w/ some of them being blue dog democrats. there are 2 independents w/ 1 of them being lieberman who keeps siding w/ the repubs. so, idk where u get ur sense of reality from, but anyways...
i'm against big pharma/ins. corps/lobbyists too. but i am for trial lawyers to protect us against incompetent med. providers.
Actually, there are many Democrats against Single Payer and they hide behind Lieberman, letting him do their dirty work and letting him take the heat. The health care reform of Pelosi Reid and Obama was for the benefit of health care corporations, health insurance corporations, trial lawyers and pharmaceuticals. What's needed is an end to health insurance as a profit making business and a single payer system to cover everyone. That is not the Obama Plan.
@E: the dems against single payer are BLUE DOG DEMS.
obama didnt have a 'plan.' his only input was to have congress come up w/ a 'plan.' that's why he stayed out of most of it. he wanted to avoid the clinton/hillary bruhaha that happened when the exec. branch tried to come up w/ a plan instead of the legis. branch. he's doing it the opposite way of clinton.
i'm all for singler payer WHICH IS WHAT EVERY OTHER 1ST WORLD COUNTRY HAS-switzerland having non-profit ins. corp.s though ~similar thing
The Democrats against single payer include many so called progressives who've taken millions over the years from the insurance industry. People like Feinstein, Schumer, and Durban. They can sit back while the Blue Dogs take the heat. They appear to be standing for the working people while the Blue Dogs do their work for the industry which subsidizes ALL of them. And Obama turned his health care "reform" over to the whores running Congress because the whore Obama is subsidized as well.
@E: actually, true 'progressives' are for single payer. fnstn(my senator) & schmer (former repub-switched over when he couldnt win the repub nomination) ARENT progressives. bernie sanders (I-VT) is REAL progressive. follow him to find out what REAL progs. think.
i think corp.lobbyists/campaign funding reform like they have in the UK should have been adopted BEFORE healthcare reform was worked on anyways.
The struggle to reform health care by installing single payer has been going on for over 60 years--at least since Truman. And every time the health care lobby has defeated it. It's not rocket science. Various interest groups are making huge fortunes with for profit health care and they are not going to give it up easily. For true reform, reformers are going to have to cram single payer down the insurance companies' throats. That kind of strong, steadfast leadership is not the Obama Way.
@E: actually it's been going on since teddy roosevelt, not truman. & the healthcare ind. got strong after ww2.
again, clinton tried to 'cram' single payer down the legis. branch, but the repubs/congress wouldnt take it. so, obama is letting congress do it, since it didnt work the other way around the other time.
Obama's health care reform failed due to his inexperience and his incompetence. By handing the reform over to the corrupt thieves known as Congress, Obama doomed it to failure. Clinton did not fully back his health care reform. He delegated it to his wife who bungled it. Then he let her take the blame. What's needed is a President with the experience, the competence and the willingness to take the hands on, up close and personal ownership of the issue needed to get it done..
@E: actually & AGAIN, obama didnt create a healthcare reform plan. sheesh.. he handed it to congress as he learned from clinton's experience. bill/hillary=interchangeable when it came to the healthcare plan.
listen, if teddy, harry, lyndon, dick, clinton, couldnt get it up & running, & they were all VERY expert politicians, then what's ur prob w/ obama when he's not even the one in charge of coming up w/ a plan? that's congress' baby.
The implementation of single payer will take strong Presidential leadership and obviously a Democratic Congress. This time we had the Democratic Congress, but we lacked strong Presidential leadership. FDR created Social Security. LBJ created Medicare. For Obama to think that Congress would put forth anything but corrupt programs designed by corrupt lobbyists shows extreme naivete. And yet he gave the job to Congress. That shows weak leadership and weak leadership is why the reform failed.
@E: fdr/lbj didnt create those prog.s w/o congress...
again, clinton tried it YOUR WAY, ELECTANGO, but YOUR WAY didnt work, REMEMBER?
so, obama is going about it in a way in which congressman feel the burden of passing a plan, then they will take more effort in wheeling/dealing in order to pass a plan. get it?
FDR successfully created Social Security. LBJ successfully created Medicare. They fought the same corrupt lobbyists who defeated the Obama health care reforms and won. These were strong domestically focused, reform oriented Presidents who bent Congress to their wills. Clinton and Obama, on the other hand, were much more passive. In fact, they were more like observers than hands on leaders on health care reform. Obama's weakness will delay single payer for at least another generation.
@E: to be honest & to be historically accurate, u have to acknowledge that congress was never as rightwing or neo-con as it is in modern times, beginning in the 80s. also, after ww2, healthcare lobbyists gained ground. even t. roosevelt couldnt pass it. &campaign reform never got anywhere since ww2 w/ the 80s bringing about more lobbying power via the neo-cons. so, if u want to ignore reality, go ahead. but u had all this time to make sure the neo-cons never had power, but now it's too late.
LBJ's Medicare 1965 institution was a huge healthcare reform. Now, Medicare is not perfect, but most people who have Medicare are happy they have it. And Medicare is a single payer system. If Obama were not such a weak, inexperienced and unimaginative leader, he would have merely instituted a process whereby every 5 or 10 years another cohort of eligibles would be allowed to join Medicare. First, over 60's then over 55's and so on. Obama was elected to get things done, not to make excuses.
The neoconservative socialist and the Marxist socialists, are going to ruin us. We must retake our government by what ever means necessary, remember when voting make sure the ballet is cast for limited government, fiscally conservative candidate. We can still have are country back.
@Exmech2; most of us twits have to work for a living and are not involved with nor do we have the time to read the congressional rules book. I would be happy if my representatives would just read and adhere to our constitution; after all they did swear to uphold it.
I was going to respond to your twit comment but I think you realize what that kind of comment makes you appear as!
Actually I'm a perfect asshole bitch pundit! Apparently you're such an idiot moron that you don't even know what "pundit" means. I guess literacy in not required to be an ex-mechanic who flunked auto shop in seventh grade. Admit it; you're just another liberal loser looking for government handouts; a loser that wants to watch your internet porn and play with yourself while others pay for your support. I'll bet you're still living with mommy; aren't you? You're JAFI.
I'm sorry, but while thats true, it's also nothing compared to the amount the current administration is putting on it. If you have a problem with dept, then have the problem with debt. It annoyed me when the GOP did it, and it annoys me now. If it bothered you then, then it should bother you now.
There is only one way to fight against these communists. The same way we did in California. The so called Tea Parties started out as a tax revolt. Withhold your taxes from the State and suddenly their returns are down by 20%. They start cutting programs and get down to business then.
When you republicans are willing to work for the better of America, you can have a seat at the table to decide important issues. When you kick your feet, hold your breath and otherwise cry like little babies, you have to take a time out and sit at the childrens table. Its as simple as that. Quit acting like spoiled brats and you can have you committee seats back, you jerk.
There have been no Republicans since 2006. Where you been. Everyone has moved over to the Tea Party party and become independents.This is the new conservative party. It is in disarray and has no leadership now , but it will rise from the ashes to replace all incumbents in both parties the next election.
Actually it's split up Into Traditional Conservative & Libertarian. What's left of the Republican Party is Neocons & People Infiltrating the party to take it back. Easier to take our party back then to start a new one.
i didnt know defecting from your party constitutes losing your leadership positions. is that a decision made by the speaker of the house, or is it policy?
@GstateBaller925 - the party in control of the house of representatives fills the chairmanship seats. the democrats control the house of reps by a majority of 76 seats - thus fill ALL the chairmanships on the committees. winner takes all as it were.
@electango - lol - it wasn't the democratic party that abandoned lieberman - it was the voters. he lost in the primary - pouted - then ran as an independent and won.
Lieberman sought the Democratic nomination for Senate. He did not quit the Democratic Party and join the other side of the aisle. The extremist wing of the Democratic Party defeated him in the primary and then he triumphantly won the election as an independent. Because the people of Connecticut know he does a great job for them. So, he was not abandoned by the voters at all. You said it yourself. He won.
@electango - hmmm - interesting take on that election - especially when you consider that during the campaign lieberman declared his support for not only lowering age eligibility for medicare but also supported a "robust" public option. Now that he basically revealed himself as deceitful by opposing both - his polls number show that he has a 70% disapproval rating. if that is what one defines as doing "a great job for them" - i'd hate to see what the good ppl of CT consider bad.
Of course, Obama himself was once for the public option. Now with his polling numbers in the toilet and stock prices for health insurance companies at 52 year highs thanks to Obama's complete sell out to for profit health care, Obama has proven to be a turncoat of the worst kind. Either that or a total incompetent. As for Lieberman being deceitful--imagine that! A deceitful politician!
I am less pessimistic since i consider any major legislation like this as a work in progress. my hope is that those progressive politicians like sanders, feingold and harkin will present a bill that includes EVERYTHING this bill does not and use reconciliation to avoid any attempted filibuster. a majority of the senate SUPPORTS a public option and lowering the age to medicare eligibility. time will tell of a politicians true worth. with obama serving less than a year - i can be patient.
The stock prices of health insurance companies are at a 52 year high. Because Obama and the rest of the incompetent Democrats have sold out the American people to the insurance industry. But hope springs eternal! As far as this president accomplishing anything noteworthy, it will not happen. A President has the first months of his first term to set a tone and Obama's tone has been set now. It's about cluelessness, incompetence, inexperience, self congratulation, and lack of accomplishment.
A whole lot of other stocks are at their 52 week high as well. When you tea baggers and the republicans destroyed the economy, just about every stock was in the toilet. I guess that made you anti-business a-holes pretty happy.
You "progressives" have no limit to your blindness when it comes to your support of our incompetent President. Health insurance company stocks are at a 52 YEAR high thanks to their victory over the American people. Thanks to Obama's health "reform" the jackals running health care are more in control than ever before. And the only people who don't know this are the "progressives." Fortunately, for America, that group is shrinking in size rapidly. So go pat yourself on the back, loser.
Yes, the stock market being up is so much worse than the stock market being down, which is where you a-holes left it. Why dont you just say you want to do away with medicare then? Why try to play stupid political games? If people knew your true agenda, they would run away from you. Thats why every gun nut wants a CCW. Because if people knew they had a gun, they would shun them. So you conservative scumbags have to keep your real positions secret. That is why you are outcasts.
Listen, Einstein, when a stock price is at a 52 year high as it is right now for the medical insurance industry, it means the market thinks prospects for the medical insurance industry are excellent. Now, a "progressive" genius like yourself might ask yourself, "why are prospects for the medical insurance industry excellent?" And the answer is because the medical insurance industry has just scored a big time victory against the American people thanks to Obama's cluelessness and incompetence.
Money is like water, it will run from place to place. You do nothing, know nothing tea baggers have so destroyed the economy that it is the only industry attractive right now. I suppose you wouldn't think the aging baby boom population would have anythjing to do with it when you can invent an "enemy" to blame. I pitty you. Its your own fault you flunked out of school, but I still pitty you.
FYI, if you dont like it here you can move someplace the hell else. Stupid ass. I'd like to know if there is even one elected official you approve of or do you just like to bitch about everything that is good for America? You traitor.
It isn't like the Democrats lost a member, since this guy was one of the few Dems. to have opposed every bill in which the Democrats had a majority vote on. He was always a closet Republican so I'm not sure why this is such a big deal.
"Parker Griffith's decision to step out of line and refuse to drink the Democratic Kool-Aid illustrates the Achilles Heel of the Democratic regime in Washington"...
"Clause 5B, Rule 10 is henceforth amended to ban all Republicans from Congress, effective immediately. Federal Marshals will be helping these ex-Congresspeople to their cells as they prepare their defense".

Isn't Griffith just acting to save his own behind from the approaching catastrophe facing the Democratic Party come November? If he was a true conservative with real principles, wouldn't he have abandoned the Pelosi ship in 2006? After all, it was crystal clear in 2006 that Pelosi was a big government socialist.

A true conservative with principles? Isn't that an oxymoron? Conservative a-holes don't even have principals since most of them are home schooled because they can't cut the academic standards of a public education. Its so much easier to sit at home while mommy tells you how "special" you are. Trouble is, when tou got to the real world you thought everything would be handed to you, you bums.

I'm glad you understand the world so well and can speak for the entire world. Impressive. The health care bill is a work in progress set in motion by the incompetent, inexperienced Obama.

Still, as I pay increased health care costs for lower quality care, I'll take comfort that the world loves Obama.

Except that the Democrats have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and the Senate rejected single payer. So you got that wrong. It is irrelevant what the neo cons and the Republicans want at this point. The problem is the Democrats. They talk a good game and fool really good readers like you, but when it comes time to deliver--they only deliver for the insurance companies, the health care conglomerates, the pharmaceuticals and the trial lawyers. Oh, but they care about people!

i'm against big pharma/ins. corps/lobbyists too. but i am for trial lawyers to protect us against incompetent med. providers.
rumpole33 2 years ago
Actually, there are many Democrats against Single Payer and they hide behind Lieberman, letting him do their dirty work and letting him take the heat. The health care reform of Pelosi Reid and Obama was for the benefit of health care corporations, health insurance corporations, trial lawyers and pharmaceuticals. What's needed is an end to health insurance as a profit making business and a single payer system to cover everyone. That is not the Obama Plan.
electango 2 years ago
@E: the dems against single payer are BLUE DOG DEMS.
obama didnt have a 'plan.' his only input was to have congress come up w/ a 'plan.' that's why he stayed out of most of it. he wanted to avoid the clinton/hillary bruhaha that happened when the exec. branch tried to come up w/ a plan instead of the legis. branch. he's doing it the opposite way of clinton.
i'm all for singler payer WHICH IS WHAT EVERY OTHER 1ST WORLD COUNTRY HAS-switzerland having non-profit ins. corp.s though ~similar thing
rumpole33 2 years ago
The Democrats against single payer include many so called progressives who've taken millions over the years from the insurance industry. People like Feinstein, Schumer, and Durban. They can sit back while the Blue Dogs take the heat. They appear to be standing for the working people while the Blue Dogs do their work for the industry which subsidizes ALL of them. And Obama turned his health care "reform" over to the whores running Congress because the whore Obama is subsidized as well.
electango 2 years ago
@E: actually, true 'progressives' are for single payer. fnstn(my senator) & schmer (former repub-switched over when he couldnt win the repub nomination) ARENT progressives. bernie sanders (I-VT) is REAL progressive. follow him to find out what REAL progs. think.
i think corp.lobbyists/campaign funding reform like they have in the UK should have been adopted BEFORE healthcare reform was worked on anyways.
rumpole33 2 years ago
The struggle to reform health care by installing single payer has been going on for over 60 years--at least since Truman. And every time the health care lobby has defeated it. It's not rocket science. Various interest groups are making huge fortunes with for profit health care and they are not going to give it up easily. For true reform, reformers are going to have to cram single payer down the insurance companies' throats. That kind of strong, steadfast leadership is not the Obama Way.
electango 2 years ago
@E: actually it's been going on since teddy roosevelt, not truman. & the healthcare ind. got strong after ww2.
again, clinton tried to 'cram' single payer down the legis. branch, but the repubs/congress wouldnt take it. so, obama is letting congress do it, since it didnt work the other way around the other time.
rumpole33 2 years ago
Obama's health care reform failed due to his inexperience and his incompetence. By handing the reform over to the corrupt thieves known as Congress, Obama doomed it to failure. Clinton did not fully back his health care reform. He delegated it to his wife who bungled it. Then he let her take the blame. What's needed is a President with the experience, the competence and the willingness to take the hands on, up close and personal ownership of the issue needed to get it done..
electango 2 years ago
@E: actually & AGAIN, obama didnt create a healthcare reform plan. sheesh.. he handed it to congress as he learned from clinton's experience. bill/hillary=interchangeable when it came to the healthcare plan.

rumpole33 2 years ago
The implementation of single payer will take strong Presidential leadership and obviously a Democratic Congress. This time we had the Democratic Congress, but we lacked strong Presidential leadership. FDR created Social Security. LBJ created Medicare. For Obama to think that Congress would put forth anything but corrupt programs designed by corrupt lobbyists shows extreme naivete. And yet he gave the job to Congress. That shows weak leadership and weak leadership is why the reform failed.
electango 2 years ago
@E: fdr/lbj didnt create those prog.s w/o congress...

so, obama is going about it in a way in which congressman feel the burden of passing a plan, then they will take more effort in wheeling/dealing in order to pass a plan. get it?
rumpole33 2 years ago
FDR successfully created Social Security. LBJ successfully created Medicare. They fought the same corrupt lobbyists who defeated the Obama health care reforms and won. These were strong domestically focused, reform oriented Presidents who bent Congress to their wills. Clinton and Obama, on the other hand, were much more passive. In fact, they were more like observers than hands on leaders on health care reform. Obama's weakness will delay single payer for at least another generation.
electango 2 years ago
@E: to be honest & to be historically accurate, u have to acknowledge that congress was never as rightwing or neo-con as it is in modern times, beginning in the 80s. also, after ww2, healthcare lobbyists gained ground. even t. roosevelt couldnt pass it. &campaign reform never got anywhere since ww2 w/ the 80s bringing about more lobbying power via the neo-cons. so, if u want to ignore reality, go ahead. but u had all this time to make sure the neo-cons never had power, but now it's too late.
rumpole33 2 years ago
LBJ's Medicare 1965 institution was a huge healthcare reform. Now, Medicare is not perfect, but most people who have Medicare are happy they have it. And Medicare is a single payer system. If Obama were not such a weak, inexperienced and unimaginative leader, he would have merely instituted a process whereby every 5 or 10 years another cohort of eligibles would be allowed to join Medicare. First, over 60's then over 55's and so on. Obama was elected to get things done, not to make excuses.

The stock prices of health insurance companies are at a 52 year high. Because Obama and the rest of the incompetent Democrats have sold out the American people to the insurance industry. But hope springs eternal! As far as this president accomplishing anything noteworthy, it will not happen.
