Obama Must Plant His Flag

[banonKING]

Why the hell does this have so little views!?

[assassinmakidoo]

Obama must plant some weed.

[infoblitzkrieg]

That's Nice, Sparky--but I'd like to hear the opinion of someone whose credentials include something Beyond one-term Senate seat...and probably in a forum that doesn't entail an old scavenged set from a college TV studio

[TheAquamarine]

"If you've got a Republican senator, sad day for you." Nice Cenk ;)

[upplsuckimcool16]

You have got to go mainstream cenk. You need to have more people ear what you are saying. You don't smear when you are talking about something serious. You tell it how it is. You tell the people what is going on, and you tell iit in a way people can understand.

Republicans do the same thing only their audience is borderline mental so they smear in a way that their audience can understand and in a way that makes it look like their policies are better when they barely talk about issues to begin!!

[battousai1889]

Brilliant statement.

[pcarlton3]

Because we are a free country with free men and women. We dont need the government to do anything for us. Take a look at the history of this great nation and what made us a superpower. The spirit of the individual is what made us great, not everybody depending on government programs. Stop thinking of what feels good and really do some thinking. How can we pay for this. Do you know how much money we borrow for the programs we already have. More govt programs, more taxes. More taxes less freedom.

[nnamdi247]

You're right. We don't need the police, fire department, and public schools that are all funded by the government. I think we should all start a rag tag police force a fight crime in Compton. Hopefully we won't get shot.

[starbucks3954]

its a choice retard.

[battousai1889]

What made America a Superpower was the same thing that made Britain, Rome, Greece, and Persia before it great. Imperialism. When America was at the height of its glory, its empire was expansive, now not so much.

[someperson111]

If he passes a bill without a public option, they are done for,we will fight him, period.

[seestickglue232]

I've got health problems myself and have to deal with insurance companies and doctors offices all the time. I am not wealthy. I would be much better off with free healthcare, these insurance companies rob me blind. I can barely afford to live because my insurance is so expensive. No exaggeration. The only people who support the insurance companies and leaving things the way they are are A. politicians with kickbacks or B. people who haven't had to live it.

[chenalos]

Maybe Democrats just wanted to get into bed with insurance, like the the republicans got.

So they threatened a public option to which big insurance says "O, really? What if I gave you this big wad."

Politics as usual.

[Savior20061]

Democrats in Congress seriously need to grow some balls and act.

[DeimosSaturn]

What's more is, we need a revolution in preventative medicine. If the public option goes through, they should give tax benefits to people who can prove they exercise regularly and eat right. They should also give people coupons/stamps to buy condoms so that people who engage in this free fun will at least do it with free protection. And pass out condoms to students in public schools on demand! HIV is still a major problem in america!

[DeimosSaturn]

Health care absolutely needs to be universal. Public health is not a "oh, it's their problem if they can't afford it" issue. If a large enough portion of the population isn't covered in a competent manner, then sickness and disease will spread, and all your money and your fancy cars and fancy houses wont mean a damn thing. Civilization crumbles when the working class can't pay for medicine.

[NuRm69]

Right. Enough with the silly games of equality. Back to the back of the bus with Obama.

[donottake]

Back of the bus with 0bama? Where the hell have you been? 0bama has been throwing everyone under the bus.

Yeah, let's have some equality for a change -- no more affirmative action, no more quotas, no more set asides, no more DBE's, no more voting for someone just because he is black, etc. Oh, racism toward white people is acceptable under the Democrat's laws. Now we see who the racists are.

The Racist Democrat Party. Get used to it.

[NuRm69]

The only person throwing anyone under the bus has been Dick Cheney throwing the US Troops under the bus for the past 8 years.

I see you fail to see the reason affirmative action was put in place to begin with.

But yeah, whites historically have had it worse than blacks in this country.

[donottake]

If it were not for whites this country would never had existed, dumbass. There are plenty of non-white countries in the world if you want to live in one. That includes several black countries in Africa that are run entirely by blacks. You had to have a black president since you think blacks are superior. Go pick out a non-white country to live in, just tell me how you like it.

[NuRm69]

Who did all the dirty work back in the 17th and 18th century in the plantations to help this country get on it's feet in it's infancy? The slaves.

Whites did a lot for this country, but so have blacks.

I never said blacks were superior, but obviously to you, saying blacks are equal is the same thing as saying blacks are superior since you seem to display an inferiority complex when it comes to blacks.

BTW, I'm not black.

[donottake]

Fuck the slaves, I don't give a shit about them. There have not been slaves in this country for 150 years. If you think people would have grown cotton but would have not picked it because they did not have slaves then you are full of shit. All they would have done is hire people for low wages since it is such an easy job. They probably would have used kids to pick it back then.

All you sick libs can do is use slavery as a sick tool to promote your bullshit. Over 150 years, get over it.

[nytehawx]

So we should get over the Holocaust. It was over 60 years ago.

[donottake]

What do you propose to do about it? Are there any criminals left? Are the Jews asking for reparations? Are the Jews asking to be given Germany? The Jews have a little piece of land called Israel and are surrounded by Arabs trying to destroy them. What do you propose to do about that? 0bama is not going to do a damn thing.

[nytehawx]

Ummm Here's a fact: The Germans gave $61.6 Billion dollars in reparation from 1950's till now to the Jews. The Black Americans received nothing since slavery. Unfortunately, giving reparations to the Blacks will bankrupt the U.S., U.K., Portugal, and Holland.

[Savior20061]

Why are you guys arguing about reparations on this video comment section? Cenk is talking about healthcare reform. Where did this reparations crap even start.

[nytehawx]

You're absolutely right Savior20061. Ask donottake.

[donottake]

"Ummm"

Go take your 0bama impression and jump off a cliff.

[adarkenedmind]

I don't know if the world will EVER get over the Holocaust. Especially since there are so many who know of some one or is related to some one that lived through it, or remember the stories of one who has died who lived through it.

[nytehawx]

2 Words: Jim Crow

[adarkenedmind]

No, they forced Natives to be their slaves in other places, too, so don't even go there. Yes, it was a long time ago... but it is IMPORTANT in history because it affected such a substantial group of people. Not just black people, but white people, too.

They would NEVER have paid anyone to do the work, they HAD to have slaves to do what they were doing, especially in the south.

[donottake]

If you are going to bitch about the US because some states had slaves for a few years then move someplace else. While you are over there make sure you go through their entire history so you can understand the atrocities that have occured there. You can sit there and pout when you discover they were far worse than anything in the US. If you think you can run to Africa think again -- the worst atrocities not only occured there but continue to occur.

[adarkenedmind]

Don't forget us Natives that were the object of genocide for over 200 years... and it wasn't the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the late 18th century and up to the end of the 19th century. Not to be picky, but we do always need to make sure our facts are straight with an opposing argument.

[adarkenedmind]

Bullshit... the Natives had it worse. We greeted and befriended and gave us nothing but disease and turned into slaves or left to be damned by disease. We were made into amusements for England's people. We were then conquered and forced from our homes and sacred places, onto the worst land in the country, that no one wished to live in, and left us there with little support or ability to take care of ourselves.

Yes, the richest among us did have slaves - not all of them were black.

[donottake]

If you want to worry about something then why don't you worry about the 9/11 attacks and the potential of more terrorist attacks instead of bullshit 200 years ago.

Terrorist attacks can happen today or tomorrow and all you do is bitch about irrelevant bullshit.

[EvilErnesto]

you'll have your chance in 4 years, if the republicans win. then you'll have another attack in the 1st year. then they'll blame it on Obama. thats if the repiglicans ask their friends attack us.

[dardonZ]

The bullshit your spewing is irrelevant.. Your not even worth my time to astronomically Own you.

[3star2nr]

Just say it If Obama caves on this hes the biggest pussy to hold the office.

FUCK THE REPUBLICANS.

Do whats good for Americans damn it WTF. Who do you people work for!

[matthlowder]

poopies.

[EcrossH]

megan130, well said.

[juliact]

No public option = no health care reform.

[ScoundrelLB]

exactly!

[flyingtorpedo]

What has Obama followed through on thus far? lol. Besides shutting down GITMO which is apparently unlikely to happen.

[kanani717]

You got thumbs down for this? What a bunch of partisin pussys. Obama is rebranded republican trash.Period.

[flyingtorpedo]

I know right? It's a joke.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Public options in healthcare DOES NOT WORK in this country. ONLY PRIVATE healthcare works.

[Emil246]

Public will work

[glasshour76]

This is why democracy doesn't work. The people are stupid. The congress is nothing more than an ATM for money whores. And both these groups hinder a weak presidency.

Ill take a hardliner with some good ideas anyday over the current worthless system.

[dubbleplusgood]

someone said GM offers(ed) excellent hcc and most ppl werent lucky enuf to work for GM. It's true and sad and just consider this also. Major companies are almost all government subsidized to some level by government. The general taxpayer pays into that pool of money, which gets funneled to the top strata of corps to pay for their 'excellent hcc'. Secret truth is americans do pay into hcc, for other americans. Time to change things people. Really change.

[dubbleplusgood]

Capng123 hit the nail on the head already - the Canadian healthcare system has its major faults, but most Canadians would revolt at the idea of going American style coverage over their provincial Medicare card.

It's all best described by Michael Moore's movie Sicko.

[Capng123]

Man... there would be blood on the fucking streets.

[Capng123]

Americans should shut the fuck up about Canada's Health care system already. You don't understand it, you generalize and your information is generally wrong.

Is it a perfect system? No. Show me a perfect system and I'll be impressed. Even with it's problems I'd still rather have our system than yours.

Meanwhile if you can't get your facts straight, then keep your opinions to yourself.

[jenisoutofhermind]

Go live in Canada or Great Brittian, see if any one there is happy with government controlled health care

At leat now you get treated.

In Canada a young woman is dying of cervical cancer because the odds are that a woman that young won't get cancer, the government won't even test for the disease until a female gets to a certain age. Now she dying, because their health care is in the government hands.

[Capng123]

Yes, because there are no horror stories like this in America's perfect and flawless medical system (IF this story is even true, which I highly doubt).

[hammy606]

I live in the UK and can honestly say our healthcare is far superior to the US system.

There would be outcry at even the thought of abolishing national healthcare in the UK, as a civilised society we expect the most vulnerable members of our society to be cared for.

You may not care about people less fortunate but I'm glad to say my country looks after its own.

[kanani717]

You hit the point right on...I hope this country starts acting more like yours...I just wish we didnt have right wing nuts like donottake standing in our way.

[pillagerromanman]

I agree with Cenk as well but saying "standing in our way" is sort of scary to me. Calm down lest you become like that guy from the Holocaust museum.

[kanani717]

HA HA HA!!! Come on! You know I am not acting like that guy in the Holocaust museum.

They are standing in our way- and what I mean by that is that they have too many right wing wing nuts(including blue dog corporate dems) in congress who have been blocking progressive policies for a very long time...if we can just bring the the other 50% of voters woh don't vote to the polls we may be able to get their crazy leaders out of power.

[pcarlton3]

The reason they are standing in your way is because most of the country is NOT PROGRESSIVE! Dont let the Bush years fool you, America is still a Center Right country.

[kanani717]

I wont argue with you about your views on social programs-we wont agree, so I wont go there...

But opinion poll after opinion poll show that the country does favor more progressive policies its just that:

A.1/2 the country doesnt vote.

B.The media gives those positions little attention because they harm the elite.

C.And the issues that most the country IS right-center on-like gay marrigage, often take the front seat over important ones (becuase us Americans are typically stupid).

[nnamdi247]

Based on what data?

[johnedwards1968]

Where's the link to this story?  It sounds like bullshit to me!

[cdguy24]

Are democrats ever going to grow some balls?

[Tanfeliz]

Cenk for president.

[donottake]

They need to be careful not to allow the government to take over the health care system. The government does not run anything well, it will end up being expensive and the services will be lousy. The government has problems just running the post office.

[pinochet222]

it's already very expensive (per capita americans pay twice as much as the second most expensive healthcare in the world, think about it!) with very poor results

and of course the government already runs most of it (medicare)

so what's your point...?

[donottake]

And medicare is going broke.

The government can run private health care out of business since the government can lose money and still stay in business. Companies offer excellent health care plans and anyone working there can get covered for the same price regardless of existing conditions. Companies may end up dropping their plans and forcing people to buy the government plan. Eventually the government will run it and screw it up like England.

[pinochet222]

"And medicare is going broke"

that's why a reform is necessary, too many people live without coverage and join medicare in a very poor condition (=expensive treatment)

And of course let's not forget Bush's free prescription bill.

"since the government can lose money and still stay in business"

obviously it must be embedded in the system that it shouldn't lose "too much"...

"Companies offer excellent health care"

They complain about the costs.

btw, small businesses employ half of US workers!

[donottake]

Companies offer good health care plans as benefits. A lot of the companies pay the entire cost and if you want a lower deductible then you pay for that out of your pocket.

The problem is for individuals who work for small companies who don't offer the benefits and people who are unemployed.

An individual having to buy health insurance gets ripped. It is expensive and the plan is not as good as what a company can negotiate with a pool of employees.

[donottake]

And if someone has existing conditions they will raise the cost even higher or may refuse to cover them. They need to find a way to pool people together who don't have it so they can get it at a reasonable rate and not get turned down. They need to be careful not to eventually allow the government to take the system over then everyone will get lousy service and will pay for it through taxes.

[pinochet222]

I agree with this, you see it exactly right... Companies like GM:) provide excellent healthcare. The majority of the people are not "lucky" enough to work for them tho. Especially small businesses can't compete, it hurts workforce mobility and the whole economy tremendously!

there's a difference between service providers and insurers. the government wants to run an insurer, not hospitals.

[hammy606]

"screw it up like England"

emm??? As someone who lives in the UK I can guarantee the National healthcare system is one of the best in the world, it beats America every time. Ignoring the tax I pay on my pay check I dont pay any money for any treatment- its all free including prescriptions, tests etc.

I have peace of mind that no matter what happens health wise my compatriots will care for me in a time of need.

NHS has worked for over 50 years and will continue to do so.

[donottake]

You are full of shit, everyone I have heard from in England said your system sucks.

[filthyfun]

who are you? are you from the U.K. ? your fulll of shit? you don't know anything. If your not rich an live in the US. you get fucked by the healthcare system in the US.

[hammy606]

Why would anyone think our system "sucks"?

We have short waiting lists, healthcare is free at point of use, across the board our healthcare outperforms American healthcare.

I have several friends who have been taken into hospital and received treatment almost straight away.

I can really think of any way our system isnt better than the American system- most developed countries have national healthcare, America is the only developed country with a shitty health system.

[aquaknot]

We have wait lists that a lot of people experience. The thing is, these people are non-critical cases waiting to get a band-aid or a couple stitches. If anyone in our country gets sick, we don't ask any questions. We just treat them. In the US, if you don't have ID, they'll let you die. If they don't let you die, they'll then find out who you are and charge your ass with a half-million dollar hospital bill. I can't see how anyone would want that over universal care.

[jaroncreed]

Hey whats up donottake.

Getting pwned by FIVE PEOPLE today i see. Just dropped by to say hello

Well anyways good luck , u'll need it.

(Because you suck ass)

[donottake]

Take a redhot poker and shove it up your racist, bigoted ass.

[jaroncreed]

Oh come now donottake, why so mean?

[someperson111]

I can't lie, that comment was funny as hell

[snipzor]

Well I disagree with one fundamental thing you say. Now I am all for single payer, it makes much more sense and costs a hell lot less for everyone, and works around the world. But unfortunately the single payer option will mess with the economy. Single payer eliminates the private healthcare industry, in one fell swoop. That cannot be good for the economy. They hold too much clout, and what's going on would only weaken the insurance companies. This is actually necessary to remove clout.

[snipzor]

Is what Obama's doing weak? Yes, but to a certain extent it is necessary. Rates will go up, that is only natural, but after a while the private insurance companies will be weak enough to wipe out while nobody would notice.

[47f0]

So? We lose some health care insurance jobs. Guess what - health care is a huge monkey on the back of American businesses. When GM is planning to move factories, not to some third-world shithole, but to Canada, strictly because of the health care overhead, it's pretty obvious that we're losing jobs to our current health care model. I'll trade some flunked out doctor who rubber-stamps denials of medical claims for a handful of actual American workers.

[snipzor]

I'm not talking about jobs, jobs aren't important here. I'm talking about political and economic clout. The problem right now in America is that you are "this close" to a bunch of angry republicans and libertarians from going crazy and boycotting everything (Or as we like to call it, fucking us over).

All I'm arguing is that the slow progress in this is not going to deliver as much of a shock to your butthurt and whiny citizens. That is all.

[47f0]

"Single payer eliminates the private healthcare industry, in one fell swoop."

Yeah, you said it, as when you eliminate the private healthcare industry, that necessarily implies jobs - or did you think otherwise?

But keep in mind - you're not eliminating the entire health care industry - I'm pretty sure that doctors still get paid in Canada. You're just eliminating the leaches that sit between the patient and provider, sucking the blood from both ends - and that's fat we can afford to lose.

[snipzor]

Of course, but again the insurance companies are powerful. Cutting out that fat will essentially be stapling your stomach shut. It's like what Pierre Elliot Trudeau did when he got rid of the gold standard. There was a shock to the system.

I'm just saying I get what Obama is doing by creating a cooldown period before shutting it down. I don't necessarily want him to, but I get it.

[buakawkaoklai]

fuck that shit america is fucked up...and it isnt just the health ...its education, justice, everything

[flamingsharp]

Wake up people! Obama wouldn't do shit. He already have sold us as slaves to his Wall st. masters. Listen to Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Alex Jones. etc Audit The Fed - it'll destroy it!!

[Reqrezentin]

I feel sorry for Americans, having to worry about healthcare...

[darmokandgalad]

I just called my Rep. and senators and told them that I want the public policy option. One of my senator's inboxes was full but ill try again in a few days.

[Vote4Beavis]

If we do get a public option, it will be so watered down that nobody will use it and then the corporate Dems and Repubs can say "See? We told you that a public option would be disastrous! Government run health care doesn't work!" And then the price gouging will continue for another 50 years.

If Harry Reid had any balls (which he doesn't), he'd get 50+ votes for a strong, robust public option and let the bill be filibustered until Nelson, Bayh, Baucus, Conrad, etc. vote for cloture.

[tuzian]

it is the time to fight. if the military would just turn their guns around

[osp80]

bill maher said it best friday.obama needs a little bit of george bush in him right now.

"fuck you i'm doing it"

[KaiXiSanSanSan]

He sure won't.

[badtown88]

Maher was totally right and I'm glad he called Obama out on his shit. Bush barely won in 2004, and he set to work doing everything he wanted. Obama won by far more, and he's bowing to the right. Fuck bi-partisanship, shove Healthcare reform down their greedy fucking throats.

[MattsterG]

God dammit. How or why the fuck can our elected officials fuck this up on purpose! WHY? WHY! Do they not give a fuck about people.  Do they not care about Americans? Or do they only care about the Americans who run medical insurance? I can't even comprehend how helping ALL Americans get REAL healthcare is wrong. How can helping Americans live healthy lives where they are able to see a doctor and get medicine with out being rich, then how the fuck can you call your self a public servant?

[medaa25]

friction00815, your opinion is irrelevant to the world.

killyourself

[Lorenzo312]

It's no use, he doesn't give up. He'll be trolling until his arthritis and carpal tunnel from trolling and masturbation prevents him from doing so.

[Melpheos1er]

where is your white phantom looking robe with a white and red cross on it ?

[Tyler1337Admin]

Even if he WAS 'planting cotton', his muscles could break your little puny neck without even noticing.

Check and mate, punk.

[jaroncreed]

WOW! Friction aka pulsar aka motion got

a whopping 24 thumbs down!!! I've never seen so many thumbs down go to one person LMAOOOO

[johnedwards1968]

Maybe donotake can beat him!

[justsumdude899]

Obama better not back down.

[Karstendag]

Norway is cool, good country to move to

[likes2p]

Democrats do not lack the balls. On the contrary, they have HUUUUGE balls. So huge that they're in on the scam. What? You expected change??? HAHAHAHA! Oh you naive lot of fools. Carlin had a point. Why vote if the options are the same anyway?

[kanani717]

This trips me out...Obama is spending our tax dollars escalating Bush's wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.... he even has went as far as to bomb the shit out of innocent people in Pakistan.... and here everyone is bitching about him not folowing through on a mediocure healthcare bill...what a country we live in...

[sisforshayla]

obama should publicly call out those senators that are banking ridiculously from healthcare lobbyists. now will he? i wouldn't hold my breath :-/

[darealdjnutz]

Don't "misunderestimate" Obama.

[Vote4Beavis]

Budget reconciliation is the only way that a public option will be passed, and even then it'll be dead after 5 years. The "health care reform" bill is going to be a complete joke and big pharma and big insurance will be dancing in the streets and the corporate Dems and Repubs will be cashing in the paychecks they receive from the lobbyists. It's really a shame too because the chance of real health care reform won't be possible for another 15 years or so.

[angelwolf333]

i believe if obama fails on this one he probably wont get a second term.

this brought a lot of people to his side.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

He will fail on this because Healthcare reform does not work in this country. He is destined to be a 1 term EPIC FAIL and will get PWNED by Sarah Palin in 2012. She will be a 2 term EPIC SUCCESS.

[soul416]

Yeah, and you're not an EPIC IDIOT, right?! Note the sarcasm because you don't understand it without it being pointed out. Loser.

[josephmalekzadeh]

I hope to god your Youtube account is some big sarcastic joke, because that is an absolutely retarded thing to believe.

[jxsilicon9]

Obama really does have to push this. All the people that support him are pushing for this.If he just does some shitty private reform that shit won't fly.

[DeagleBeagle]

healthcare would be semi-costly but probably worth it.

[mmteddybearbear]

I'm a huge Obama supporter but if he doesn't deliver on healthcare I'm washing my hands of him. I didn't elect him to get a republican. His healthcare proposal was a major part of beginning to balance the budget and gettingus out the recession. I donated to his campaign voted for change. He will fail without this public option and I will be very dissapointed. Please Obama, don't mess this up.

[duhduh666]

"Please Obama, don't mess this up."

Im sure he feels the same way.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

He won't deliver because he is destined to be a 1 term EPIC FAIL and will lose badly to Sarah Palin. Palin will be a 2 term EPIC SUCCESS greater than Dubya, Clinton, Reagan, and all male POTUS before her.

[halomega3000]

The fact that you endorse Palin pretty much gives you 0 credibility. Sorry...

[SkreetGil]

Revolution

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Obambi's attempt to reform health care will lead to his inevitable and humiliating defeat in 2012 to Sarah Palin. When Palin becomes POTUS, she will ensure that healthcare becomes completely privatized and ensure that the health insurance companies completely benefit from Palin's stances. Public healthcare and reform does not work in this country.

[JacKn1feSugarTrucK]

That's right!

Fuck all the people, as long as the giant, multi-national mega corporations are happy, everything America Stands for will be preserved.

Stupid.

[rockloyalty522]

fuck palin

[halomega3000]

You're the epitome of what is wrong with this country and the world.

[Lungyao1]

We need that public option.

[wongdor]

You say republicans are bought and payed for by the health care industry... I say the democrats are too. Why do you think they're so "spineless"? Money has more value than values for most people in Washington.

We need to reform the way Congressmen can take "donations"... I say corporate bundling should be illegal, for starters.

[zeropointapathy]

If the democrats don't get this right, they're fucking useless

[prostateproblem]

Okay, I have to admit, I am a Canadian nurse. As Cenk would say about the Public Option--is it a good thing--OF COURSE!! The reason I Ieft the sunshine coast, is healthy and working, I could not afford health insurance. Here in Canada, if I trip on my way home from work and break a leg--I get taken to a hospital in an ambulance, and get fixed at no cost to me!!!!! If  a street person breaks his leg--same thing. This is a beginning option for you guys down there. One small step.

[halomega3000]

see I don't understand how anyone could see that as something bad...unless of course they're hearts are full of greed.

[darktoadthesticky]

Obama lied.

[MikeRoch6969]

america REALLY needs a third party

[VonSchnutze]

I think it would be better to just erase the Ds and Rs from in front of their names.

[jsadasjioi]

I hate politicians that are fucking corrupt. Most of the government in every country is if not all. I am hoping to god that Obama is not one of those politicians.

[Ryan2142]

Hopefully everything works out in the end. =]

[ajayzachariah]

Damn, that sucks... I'm from Texas... sorry Cenk, I got nothing I can do.

On the bright side, Bill White, the Democratic mayor from Houston is running for the Senate in 2010, and honestly, I think he has a fantastic shot at it.

[nascarsuxx]

Universal health insurance would work but too many politicians have their pockets filled by big insurance . I think most conservatives have this superiority complex , they feel as if you don't have health ins. or your poor too bad go die. No compassion for their fellow man. Though they did have no problems giving Iraqis billions that had NO strings attached .
