What I don't understand about this whole health argument is why we, the American public, who pays the salaries, or at least base salaries, pensions, etc. of our elected representatives, can't have or have access to the same coverage they have.

Just a quickie!

I was watching television just now, and saw a commercial by Healthactionnow.org. It was the AARP coming out for Health Care Reform!
It talked about lies that are currently being told, and it repeated the President's talking points!

Sorry for the short entry, but it's worth noting.

Update: Thank you all for reading this diary and your comments. My seven year old woke this morning and wanted me to check to see if people were "listening" to her. As a parent, I'm proud of her. But as the mother of a special needs child, I'm elated. I won't go into detail about her multiple diagnoses; however, I've never really witnessed this level of understanding. And for her to still be interested today (this focus rarely happens) is almost more than I can take.

As I listened to the hearing today on the Wall Street bailout, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. I thought, "Oh crap...Here we Go Again." When will the Democrats ever learn? When I first heard of the proposed "bailout," my initial "gut" reaction was NO. I know we like to slam President Bush for his gut reactions; however, there is some truth to that old "gut reaction."

I saw a tee shirt from pictures at the Jacksonville, Florida rally yesterday that said, "Practice More Abstinence...No Bush/No Dick!" When I saw the tee shirt, I thought exactly. I do not support this bailout of Wall Street! We need to practice more abstinence! Let the mofo’s eat Hamburger Helper just like the rest of us!

Over the weekend, I posted reasons why McPalin were indeed not "just like us." I wanted to share what the people who are like me are feeling and experiencing. Our situations have no color. However, a few days ago and today, I've read a diaries and comments about the underlying racism that permeates America. This underlying racism allows white people not to "trust" Senator Obama without logical reasons.

Therefore, no matter what Obama/Biden or Democrats say, white people can’t get over their own racism to vote for a black person. Not that this facet hasn’t been there all along, but being what I thought was a rational person, who could both recognize and overcome my own shortcomings, I felt that my self-interest and my belief in the American people and American dream would triumph over America's original sin or birth defect (not my words, but ones I've heard used to describe slavery).

However, earlier today I read a diary about the underlying racism that permeates white America. This underlying racism allows white people not to "trust" Senator Obama without logical reasons.

I’ve heard this phrase so much this election season, and it is nothing but code talk for "white." Rick Davis was telling the truth. The election is not about issues it’s "personalities." John McCain nor Cindy McCain have nothing in common with the average American voter, black, white, Latino, etc. The average voter doesn’t own seven or more homes. The average voter does wear $200,000 to $300,000 outfits. The average voter doesn’t make five million dollars. No, they are not just like us.
