The words in this speech will be twisted around and the Right Wing will lie their asses off about it, so make sure that you have heard the real thing so that you can make up your own mind as to what our President actually said about his health care plan.
Remember truth is only stronger than deception if it gets a chance to be heard.
Ok...I have listened to 20 minutes. He is brilliant! Must do some work here in Ireland. Hopefully will catch up later.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sheer joy it is to listen to our President give a speech! He is always articulate, well informed and eloquent. No wonder the GOP is so desperate to find anything, imagined or not, to try and convince people they really do know what is best. If the right wing nut out there could just focus on this one fact: you are paying for people who don't have healthcare anyway, it's called the Emergency Room. Why is this such a hard concept for them to understand? I just don't get it. But sadly you are so right Gryphen, the scare mongering will begin in earnest tonight on Faux News, oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this Grif. It is interesting, whenever GW was on the air I changed the channel or station or turned off the TV or radio.
ReplyDeleteBarrack Obama draws me in, he is such an eloquent speaker, It so nice to be proud and not embarrassed every time my president opens his mouth
Yeah Gryphen, listen to it and cry. The great bladck hope has just sold the ordinary American people down the river. Gone is the hope of any real change and gone is the hope that the people will get reasonable and affordable healthcare coverage.
ReplyDeleteYou don't laud praise on Obama for selling out Gryphen, and what's even worse, your people on this blog are following your lead like a bunch of lemmings.
Well, you can't please all the people all the time. I thought it was a good speech and covered many of the issues I've been hearing my doc complain about. I guess there will be some who fear losing what they have. But it sounds like Obama's plan will let most of the people get most of what they need.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to phone back east this weekend and find out what my brother-in-law the doctor thinks of all of this!
Maeve, Don't ask a bloody doctor whatever you do. They and your AMA are largely responsible for the American people not being able to have affordable healthcare.
ReplyDeleteLook girls and boys, they're feeing you all a bunch of redbaiting nonsense when they demonize universal healthcare which works magnificiently well in nearly all the countries of the world which are rated better than yours. I won't go into it in depth right now but I will offer this one following truth as proof.
In Canada we budget about half as much money per capita for healthcare. By doint that we have still managed to maintain a healhtcare system which is rated as superior to yours. If Canada's healthcare system is lacking in any way as opposed to the U.S., and that's a big if, then what could we do if we increased spending to perhaps 2/3rds. of yours instead of jut half of yours?
This is where the mental mindset of the people needs to come into play. Enough Canadians need to demand the successful continuation of our system by funding it adequately and that's exactly what we do. It's a sacred right in Canada. Until Americans adopt that kind of mindset and demand it be maintained, you aren't going to ever succeed in getting the reform you need. Your voted for Obama and that was a start. NOW YOU HAVE TO HOD HIS FEET TO THE FIRE! GET IT?
Well said Sarah Q
