For a year now, the “Healthcare reform” seems to be the only issue on Obama’s agenda – isn’t it strange that during times of a severe recession our President is still chipping away at getting the healthcare reform passed? What possesses this man to blatantly ignore America’s voice when we said “no” to healthcare reform?
One thing we do know is this – Obama’s reluctance to address the real issues during this recession is the living proof that he has an ulterior motive for jamming this reform down our throats! As you read on, it becomes quite evident that Obama plans to do just what he said during his campaign; he’s going to “Spread the Wealth” via big government.
A good leader and administrator prioritizes and has his “ducks in a row,” meaning jobs, downsizing the government, eradicating the earmarks and stopping the millions of foreclosures, but not this man. His agenda is the “Healthcare Reform” and he will try to pass it at all costs even if it means placing our Nation in harm’s way by increasing our National deficit.
He’s already proven that he’ll pay whatever the going price may be to secure votes for this reform – there’s the Louisiana Purchase, Jim Matheson, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Sen. Ron Wyden, Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and my guess is more Democrats will be bought in the next week. Watch headline news to see which of the Democrats will vote “Yea,” if the price is right!
Logic tells us that in order to pay for this reform, taxes will be substantially increased, Medicare will suffer, business of all sizes will take a huge hit and the horrendous cost of this healthcare reform may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
2009 proved to be the year of the “ABOP.” HAMP, was another botched Obama program (ABOP), TARP another botched Obama program (ABOP) , Harp yet another botched Obama program, stimulus bill (ABOP); so 2009 is truly the year of the “ABOPS.” 2010 is looking like another repeat of 2009, especially if the Healthcare Reform bill is passed. All of the 2009 bills or reforms have been a smoke screen for “Spreading the Wealth.”
The mistake made by American’s was electing a stranger to lead our country – we didn’t know the man, we didn’t know anything about him and we still don’t know this person that many call Mr. President. We had a right to check the man they call Obama out, to know his history, his values, his real character, but we didn’t – he was too slick for us and too many people like the word “Change.” Here is a quote by John Adams that says it all.
The people “have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge– I mean of the character and conduct of their rulers.”
If one is to judge a man by his actions and deeds, Mr. Obama would have failed on all counts. His actions and deeds have been disgraceful the first year of his presidency, because not one of his promises during the Presidential campaign have come to fruition.
Surely there are some Democrats in the White House that can’t be purchased and who will stand up for their Nation and fellow Americans; it’s impossible for all of them to tuck their tail between their legs and slink away into the vast unknown of Obamanism. PLEASE WILL THE “REAL DEMOCRATS” STAND UP and put a stop to this healthcare reform; as I mentioned earlier this could easily be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Your diary is along the lines
Viet71 (Diary) Sunday, March 7th at 7:21AM EST (link)of one I read earlier this morning at Docudharma — a so-called progressive blogsite.
Almost without exception, the posters there are
– principled Leftists (…yeah, I know),
– who voted for Obama, and
– who now utterly loathe and denounce Obama in the most virulent terms.
I mention this as a way of suggesting there is SOME common ground among principled persons of all political stripes.
I don't believe there is such a thing as principled leftist
E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Sunday, March 7th at 3:43PM EST (link)Yes I know you put the term in scare quotes, but your closing sentence suggests
At the end of the day, the North Star of every form of leftism is about taking away the freedom of regular people to guide their own lives.
Semi-moderate leftists simply want to take away *some* freedoms without total enslavement.
Regardless of whether these “principled leftists” have noble intentions (‘for your own good’), at the end of the day they have measured and weighed, and decided it’s ok to sacrifice the one most noble principle of all.

So I have no middle ground. They are the enemies of me, but not by my choosing. And they are most certainly the enemies of the Constitution. The fact that in their conscious mind they don’t know that only adds STUPID to the charge of UNPRINCIPLED.

Yes and No
civil truth (Diary) Sunday, March 7th at 11:15AM EST (link)No, in that Obama has a genuine monomania to pass health care; he already ate up the first year of his presidency on this topic to the exclusion of other projects.
And yes, but only in the sense that his healthcare focus (and the media’s almost exclusive coverage) cover his malign neglect of foreign policy and pushes economic debates to the fringe. And he keeps hoping to kick the can down the road past November 2nd to prevent further erosion of support – and then the chickens can come home to roost.
Even at RedState the few diaries that discuss foreign policy draw few or no comments.
The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

IF there had been ANY principled Democrats....
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Sunday, March 7th at 3:55PM EST (link)this POS would NEVER have passed the Senate. They are the MOST disgusting, hateful group of politicians I have EVER been witnessed to in my 40+ years of living and that encompasses Clinton, Carter, Kennedy (Ted) etc. so when you think of how AWFUL they were and recognize how much worse the elected Democrats are today it really says something (and nothing good) about these “progressives” in our midst!
