Obama's "Yes We Can" or John Boehner's "Hell No, You Can't"? Who Will You Listen?

March 24, 2010
The "Hell No You Can't : YES WE CAN" Videomix by Josh Stanley of original by Black Eye Peas member will.i.am (featuring John Boehner) ...It Rocks..MUST SEE and share...
///
House Republican leader's John Boehner's final "Hell no, you can't" angry and profane rant on Sunday (Mar. 21, 2010) against President's Obama's Health Care Plan is now infamous.

And his blustering outrage had nothing to do with his perpetual tan and the fact that the bill places a tax on tanning salons. No, really, it didn't.

Here's the latest mash-up of will.i. am's video with Boehner's profanity to illustrate the division between the Republican and Democratic parties. Not mention a lack of class and manners.

But his Hiel -- sorry, Hell -- no does signify a frightening and depressing Republican movement to stop change and halt Obama's reforms, recommendations and appointees.

"No" Republicans have voted for health care reform or for financial reform in the Senate banking committee.

Who are you for? The Hell-No-It-Alls or the Yes-We-Can-Dos?

What I think this all means is that everybody loves a winner. Everybody but Republicans, that is. In the viral video of the day, some wonderful videographer named Josh Stanley has repurposed the Obama "Yes We Can" song by splicing in the musical contribution of House Minority Leader John Boehner yelling at the top of his lungs, presumably on the House floor, "Hell no you can't!" causing a poetic commenter to swoon, "Oh Internet. How I love your series of tubes." Another commented that only Boehner is off-key. Yes He Is. The video captures the essence of this moment: democracy ascendant, Republicans raging out of control.

Even among all the horrible violence & death threats against Members of Congress who did the right thing for the American people, there is one glimmer of light: the Secret Service reports that threats against President Obama are down to the levels of threats to former Presidents.

And in another sign of reversal of fortunes, the Democratic National Committee has co-opted one of the tea-partiers' favorite signs, "Hands Off My Health Care." Yep, they're warning that Republicans want to take health insurance away from your kids & drop seniors back into the donut hole. May the next mob be made up of Democratic activists locking arms & singing "Yes We Did" with will.i.am & John Legend.

Health reform is here to stay. It's a winner.

Nope. No matter what Obama does, he won't deliver on that "help the average American" on a large scale. As long as government does not the power to coin its own money and would rely on the Federal Reserve to print more money, the people who control the Fed will only get rich because of the interests charged by the Fed on the money we have, so the tax payers would have to pay it and when more debt is to be paid, more taxes will come, and our current tax system is a problem too.

That may be true, but you would be hard pressed to find a politician to replace him for which this is not true. Mitt Romney is far worse, far more aloof. At least, of the two, Obama is more likely to help the average American.

What good is all the Gov. insurance you can get without a Gov. doctor that will work for nothing?

Dumbasses!
