"Change happens because the American people demand it - because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time. America, this is one of those moments"
...and the absolutely great: "John McCain doesn’t get it!"
Remember that? August 2008 – Denver.
"YEAH MOTHERFUCKER!" I screamed back than, THAT’S IT!
Well, let’s jump into the present time:
The tremendous crap and FUBAR, which has been left for President Obama to deal with is simply indescribable, absolutely! However, let’s put all this aside and just concentrate on the most pressing issue: Health Care Reform with a strong public option!
The majority of Americans have demanded it! They have given a clear mandate to the Democrats to take care of it! The Republicans have been nothing else but destructive since then and it was all up to the Democrats.
We all know what happened next: The big show of the Blue Dogs and the great "bipartisan effort" of Baucus, Conrad, Grassley, Enzi, etc....
Grassley for instance, holds town hall meetings where he hands out Glenn Beck’s book, "mental vomit on paper" and spews lies and fear about the reform. He as well constantly mentions that he will note vote for the reform.
Yet, in spite off, Obama honorably mentions the great bipartisan effort of Grassley, who still is working with Democrats on a reform!
Come again, Mister President ?!?
Mister President, either, this is a genius Jedi mind trick, or – Sir, you are completely out of your mind!
Well, we all know, that the Jedi mind trick is just an invention by some "Hollywood lib’rul terrorists", so no truth here.
You, out of your mind? No way. Mister President, you still aware, that you are a Kenyan born, Muslim, Marxist, Communist, Fascist, Nazi-Terrorist, who pales around with Terrorists, right?!?
No wait – I’m confusing things, my apologies...this is just the message from the Republicans under their leadership of Limbaugh, "Baby Jesus" Beck and their Press Corps Fox Noise. (and yes, from the same Republicans you have defended so bravely recently!)
Dems lost the message war in August. President Obama failed to come out with a clear statement, that he’s still on our side. Rather – the White House has sent out trial balloons with "trigger", "co-op’s" and all sorts of other shit! (Thanks Rahm Emanuel, by the way – you’re a fucking asshole!)
People die, because they can’t afford health care or they get denied help, in spite off them having "insurance". People go bankrupt, because of medical bills. People, who have demanded change, people who said "this is the moment!"
Yet, all I witness is "bipartisan crap" and the total failure of the Democrats to do what the people want them to do.
President Obama: Do you still get it?????
I knew that congress (both parties) would work hard to avoid your success. I knew, the racists of this country would go crazy over your Presidency. "Fuck them", I said, "Fuck them"! I knew, you would be able to deal with all that shit. I knew you would be that good! I FUCKING KNEW!
At least – I thought so. Yet, like so many others, I’m left wondering: Are you still with us on real health care reform?
Screw bipartisanship, get your Democrats in order Mr. President. Push health care thru’ on reconciliation. That’s what the people demand!
Where is the clear message, that you are still with us Mister President????
I can’t wait for the speech next week. I really hope you come out to make a clear statement in favor of a strong public option!
If not, I’m done with politics! Back to sports, Simpsons, Food Network, etc. I can’t afford it any longer to be pissed of the whole day. I will start to embrace the "Republican Credo":
"Live dumb and ignorant, die happy!"
If I should become sick and die early, I’ll blame those illegal immigrants, and those "left wing Nazis", while laying on by death bed...still dying happy!
(Remember, I’ll be dumb and ignorant by then...so the trick will work) ;-)
Good Luck America!
If they sell us out, consider this: Progressives of both parties need to split and start their own party (maybe under leadership of Howard Dean).
Final note:
I really don’t mind being sold out by a Republican. ‘Cause I know, this is what they do, have done, will always do!
But not you Mister President, please! NOT YOU !!!!
