A Suggestion for Mr Barack Obama
Mister Obama, I share your concern for the 31 million Americans without the blessings of Obama Care, insurance that will cost US taxpayers trillions of future dollars, a debt burden I will be too old to help pay off when the bill comes due.
Granted, I am:
- a husband,
- a father and grandfather,
- a conservative constitutionalist,
- sorta college educated,
- disabled veteran,
- use Judeo-Christian principles to guide my life,
- a small business owner,
- in favor of less government,
- a supporter of rigid term limits,
- an American,
- highly opinionated.
In light of these characteristics, I want to share a thought with you; why not offer those 31 million Americans that you are so concerned about, a million tax free dollars to absolve the government of any further concern about their future medical welfare? You could poll them and offer them an ‘either or choice;’ a million bucks today vs 6 years of Obama health care starting immediately after a four (4) year waiting period.
If enough of those uninsured take the money and run, it could save us nearly a trillion bucks for you to buy back part of the 2.5 trillion dollars in IOU’s owed to social security recipients.
Mr. Obama, I doubt that you and I can ever sit down in a sports bar for a pizza n beer because I am diametrically opposed to your possible re-election and to most of your political spiel; frankly, I probably know street pimps and thugs with a higher moral and ethical code than yourself or the pathetic mac daddy wannabes you hang with on the hill.
Other than that, you seem to be a good dad and role model for many fatherless kids in the US, and likely a good husband-but then, so was Bill Clinton on the surface. Isn’t it odd how time bears out all truths?
It may be a huge benefit for you listen to your constituents; their common sense may surprise you.

I liked this post a lot. If I am being sincere, I too have my reservations about this health care bill. Probably not for the same reasons as you, but we converge on the principal that President Obama and congress at large have not taken the will of the people into consideration when it comes to this legislation.
I had such high hopes for this man and… as I’m certain you recall… I campaigned HEAVILY for him. Moreso than I’ve done for any other candidate. I’m left in turmoil… somewhat disillusioned… but still very hopeful.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the election of Barack Obama was still a very positive thing… if only because it is evidence that the American people still have the potential to get behind an idea, get excited, and rally. This should come in handy when it becomes necessary for we peasants to take back the country.

Viva la revolution America ~ ink up your voting fingers and loose the power of your vote!
Without apology or explanation, I am firmly ensconced as a constitutional conservative. That does not imply that I am blind to the needs of others, nor would I think for a single moment that you acted foolishly in your defense of Obama. It does sadden me that he’s left you somewhat disillusioned.
My faith is not in government and politicians; my faith lay with average Americans, that form the backbone of this country. It is my belief that they will speak out with their votes.
No matter the outcome, where I distrust politics, politicians and lawyers with their hands in everyone else’s financial pockets; the average American will have their say to the peril of those that treat them with disdain.
Great to hear from you, raven.
