Week of October 18, 2009 - October 24, 2009

Own It, Mr. President


Hey Barack!  I have an idea for you.  You are spending a lot of time and energy fighting something you should be celebrating as your own - healthcare reform.  Democrats, why are they all so initimidated by a party that has dwindled to a 20% representation by voters?  Their party is dead and no one has told them yet.  When we think of Social Security and Medicare, those are Democratic institutions and no matter how much misinformation the GOP throws out there, they have never had any success getting the people to agree with them these are failed institutions, even despite their greatest efforts to sabotage those institutions.  Healthcare reform can be the same thing, a badge of honor for Democrats.  Own it!

If there are no Republicans willing to take part in the passage of life-changing legislation {and that is not hyperbole} let them keep out!  They have already torn out the heart of the reform.  Or I should say, they took out the heart of what was left of reform, and now we're being told it will not be "robust".  All I can say is that Oprah said, you are "The One!"  Be the One!  Own it.  If the GOP fails to see the importance of this monumental legislation, well, you can lad a horse to water, but you can' tmake him drink it, and this is about as clear an analogy as there is.  We're talking about something as critical to life as water.  We are talking about medical care!  If they wish to run from this, let them go.  I hope you will stand up for the American people and be 'The One".  Own it!

A curious thought came to me as I was considering this post.  You are the <b>worst</b> President since George W. Bush!  You are also the <b>best!!!</b>  Own it!  Because for the American people we feel as though this country was som completely trashed by the last one, you are getting to start all over again.
