but he thinks like a typical lefty in the leadership cadre. He has not really associated with anyone who lives or thinks differently from him since probably high school. He is a foreigner in most of America because he has never been to most of America and has never had any contact with Americans other than those from the academic and poltical left and the poverty pimps and race hustlers he associated with in his role as a community organizer and lefty lawyer and machine pol.

People like Comrade Obama are so convinced to their superiority that they NEVER think about what the opposition will do. When AFSCME, which uses professional staff with much the same backgound and experience as Comrade Obama, came to Alaska I was astounded by how little they knew or cared about how the State worked, who was who, where the real power was. They had a set of fixed assumptions about us and proceeded on those assumptions. Since most of those assumptions were wrong they took a disasterous course and we made them pay dearly. Had we not had a Democrat governor, we would have destroyed them. When the Democrat didn’t win in ’90, they faced four years of hostility from an AIP/Republican Administration but they did have a contract that covered them for the first year of it. I was likewise astounded by how unprepared they were in negotiations and even in grievance arbitrations and labor board hearings. They never seemed to have given any thought to what the employer would do, never adequately prepared their witnesses, and yet seemed shocked every time they lost, blaming their losses on biased arbitrators or labor board panels and the general unfairness of being pitted against the big, bad employer. Hell, their lowest paid BA made more than my commissioner, we had a total professional staff of 5 in those days, and they were just one of 13 unions we had to deal with. And believe me, the last thing any Republican Administration wants to do is be associated with all the controversy that surrounds a labor relations office so we had an awful time getting support or funding while they constantly told us to “git ‘em.”

What happened when they did get a bought and paid for administration in ’94 was they managed to get the State to emulate them. When I came back in ’00, my staff was a bunch of kids who didn’t know anything about the State or about the operations they werre supposed to support and defend. They would work out elaborate scenarios for putting on hearings, write out all their questions, and not be able to react at all when the opposition did something other than what they’d planned.

I’ve been to lots of training and workshops around the Country and knew most of my peers heading State labor relations functions and they’re all the same; it is just the academic/union/lefty mindset. We regular Americans aren’t human and really arent worthy of their consideration. But don’t tell them that the Nazis thought that well too!

From the Anonymous Political Scientist:

“Glorious Leader Gap: President Barack Obama – Not So Bright for a Harvard Law Grad”

* Obama’s over dependence on his teleprompter.
* Obama’s boring performances in his now discontinued press conferences.
* Obama’s factual errors during his confrontation with Republicans at their retreat.
* Obama’s indecisiveness and general slowness in figuring out how to respond to his commanders’ requests for additional troops in Afghanistan.
* Obama’s try and fail approach to winning the Olympic Games for Chicago, his useless trip to China, and his fruitless visit to Copenhagen on behalf of the cause of anthropomorphic global warming.
* Obama’s unwillingness to contribute an article to the Harvard Law Review while he served as its first African-American president.
* Obama’s reluctance to compete for a tenure track job at the University of Chicago Law School and the fact that he never submitted articles to peer-reviewed law journals.

This letter appeared in the Indianapolis Star (which is owned by the same people who own the Arizona Republic) and was sent to a very popular Indiana Senator.

An Indianapolis doctor’s letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill (Note: Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis, IN.) Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh.. Feel free to copy it and send it around to all other representatives. –
Stephen Frazer

Senator Bayh,

As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government’s proposed involvement in the
patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.

I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.

Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!

Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.

finances and personal records. (I guess so they can
‘deduct’ their fees)

Page 203 Line 14-15 HC: “The tax imposed under
this section shall not be treated as tax.” (Yes,
it really says that!) ( a ‘fee’ instead)
Page 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill: Govt will reduce
physician services for Medicaid Seniors.
(Low-income and the poor are affected.)

disqualify Medicare Advance Plans, HMOs, etc.
(Forcing people into the Govt plan)

Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment
of ‘special needs people!’ Unbelievable!

Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy
via a “Tele-Health Advisory Committee.” (Can you

Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt

guiding you in death. (Also called ‘assisted suicide.’)
(Sounds like Soylent Green to me.)

for orders on “end-of-life.” (The Govt has a say
in how your life ends!)

Page 429 Lines 1-9: An “advanced-care planning

family therapy. (Which means Govt will insert
itself into your marriage even.)

Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services
including defining, creating, and rationing those services.

Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do
everything possible to inform patients and my fellow
physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills
you and your colleagues are debating.

Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces
socialized medicine on the country and destroys the
doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything
in my power to make sure you lose your job in the
next election.

Respectfully,

Stephen E. Fraser, MD

Dear Reader,

I urge you to use the power that you were born with
(and the power that may soon be taken away) and
circulate this email to as many people as you can
reach. The Power of the People can stop this from
happening to us, our parents, our grandparents, our
children, and to following generations.

he is a hack ideologue with a touch of cleverness and underhandedness–I agree–where have we seen any evidence of his intellect? The man is a SOros puppet as far as I can tell and I truly do nto believe he will finish his term, but that is another topic.

There’s always a first time. Christie is rolling back decades of Democrat policies in NJ. It can be done–and will be. The Dems declared war on the American public. They wanted war–now they’ll get it. From now on–and for the next few decades– we’ll be in their faces.

nt

the major social welfare program that was ever rolled back to ensure personal responsibility and personal liberties, and I’ll buy your premise.

With that said, IMO, we need to shed all socialist programs like Social Security and Medicare and get back to the basics. I’ve been a lifelong Republican and conservative, but am deeply saddened as the “right” has been redefined again and again and moved much more to that of centrist and even at times – leftist politics.

If health care passes and stands the court challenges (and honestly Iwill not hold my breath on that one) the party of Lincoln and Reagan will not act in the interests, as a whole, of the people of this country nor it’s Constitution. We need more men and women of principle ,character and steel to fix this. I don’t see this in or national character, especially the young. We handed our system of education over to “educators” and the state.

I’m hopeful we as a nation will wake up, but not optimistic

why govt had any role whatsoever in choices and commodities (and healthcare is a commodity) a private citizens CHOOSES to buy with his hard-earned dollars. It never made sense which is why I have viewed FDR as one of the bad presidents despite what Doris Kearns Gdwin says—-he created the Leviathan that is now our Monster Govt
