Obama Blames Health Care Failure on 'Process,' Not Substance

 
 
Obama: "What I agree with is that the public has soured with the process that they saw over the last year. I think that actually contaminates how they view the substance on the bills. I think it is important for all of these issues to be aired so that people have confidence before moving forward on such a significant part of the economy as health care, that there's complete transparency and all these issues have been adequate vetted and adequately debated."

We Americans deserve a real leader, one who can think logically and rationally. One who owns up to his role instead of whining like a little brat and stomping his feet and blaming someone else everytime he doesn't get his way. It is getting rather tiresome. We deserve a grown up in the Oval office and we will get one in 2012! I will be so glad when the day comes that we won't be subjected to his whining, lecturing, cowardly words, and can send him back to his room where he belongs. Brat Boy needs to grow up!

Millions of Americans, doing their small but significant part in the governance of our nation, are in the process of ending years of “Minority Rule” by the most liberal, humanistic, five percent of our population. Great job….keep it up….give God the Glory.
We must accept the facts a deal with them:
Must-See Video by Former Muslim & Black Pastor - Added 2/3/10
(1) There is a battle taking place around the world and it amounts to the SLAVERY of Islam vs. the Freedom of Christianity. The USA being the base and stronghold of Christian Freedom.
(2) Islam will not coexist in Christian America. Islam cannot accept our Constitution, our Rights, our Freedoms, including Freedom of Religion. If America falls, the world falls. And they know it.
(3) Obama is not a friend to Christians nor American traditions. He does not see the USA as deserving of world leadership.
(4) Obama is a Narcissist, a racist, a Socialist. He respects Dictators.
(5) As seen in his “State of the Union” - he loathes our Constitution and the Supreme Court. He has stated that in his own words in audio and video viewable at www.ameritianity.com.
(6) We are witnessing a setback for Socialism because “THE PEOPLE” have awakened
(7) The Role of Religion - Now we need to remove the Tax Threat from the IRS against ministers speaking the truth from the pulpit in the same way that the Supreme Court has said the Right to Free Speech does not stop a the front door of Corporations.
(8) Obama wants to control where the power lies in America. The power lies where the wealth is. He wants the POWER to lie in the Unions (now own 2 car companies) and the Federal Govt.
(9) Haiti - look where the AID is coming from, the CAPITALIST NATIONS
(10) Healthcare - WILL REMAIN PRIVATE
(11) Waterboarding & Freedom
"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16 (NIV)

I suppose Obama would have a hard time admitting that it was just a bad bill for America, and that perhaps the unethical process became a little too transparent even for Obama. I guess he and Cong underestimated the intelligence of the American people. We have become fearful whenever the Fed gov offers us "free" or cheaper or a better run anything, because we know it will cost us dearly, and we lose not only monetarily, but also in our dwindling freedoms that we enjoy.

It IS the substance. Americans have the resources available for healthcare. We have great doctors, nurses and facilities. The PROBLEM isn't in the quality or even the quanity of care available to our citizens... It's the COST. If ANYONE, Republican or Democrat would have the sense to address the true problem... well, that would be a fine start.
Americans SPEND more for healthcare then any other country on the planet. Why? Why does a damn Cat-Scan cost an arm and a leg.. Yes, Yes, Yes.. I know that piece of equipment is expensive to purchase and to maintain... BUT really? $2500 for 10 minutes... I KNOW because I've had to have sooo many of them.
Our drug dealers... uh, errr.. Manufactures spend millions on research - granted. But it seems ONLY American consumers pay for that research. We are "big brother" to the world you know... a much hated sybling it seems.
Why is it, that a medication can be researched, developed and sold IN OUR OWN Country, but it's cheaper to purchase it overseas? Why? Could it be all the taxes, incentives, advertising costs, back-door deals with congress? Obama needs address these issues before stuffing more do-do down our throats!
And don't get me started on the excessive salaries of doctors. Its a job guys,... YOU're NOT GOD
Before we can "reform" our healthcare, we MUST reform the greed that fuels spiraling costs in the country.
