Health Insurance Reform

President Obama is better than the right wing lunatics Cheney or Limbaugh. And he is certainly smarter than the simpleton George Bush II. But he appears to have lost his way.

I worked for Obama in the primaries and the general election. I like him a lot. He is a nice guy and real snart, but I'm beginning to have serious reservations. Obama has not indicated any exit strategy from Afghanistan. So we are just moving the troops over from Iraq. America voted for him to end the wars and bring home our troops, not to be another George Bush.

Increasingly he is doing exactly what the military tells him to do. Whether it is continuing with the military tribunals for judging the people imprisoned in Guantanamo, or being against the ACLU and standing with his nose up the ass of the military in refusing to release the photos of torture. Obama is adamantly against prosecuting anyone from the Bush administration for their illegal acts of torture.

On health care all one hears from the Obama administration is about reducing the cost of health care, or making it a bit more efficient. Everyone else is talking about Universal Health Care. Between 45 and 50 million people in America do not have health insurance, but rather than taking a FIRM and absolute stand in favor of universal health care, Obama continues to take the politically expedient way out.

This is not good…
