Health Care and Sausage

I know politics is like making sausage, but what we are witnessing with the health care legislation is much more disgusting. Right in front of our eyes we are watching extortion, bribery and theft by the highest levels of our government. And they have so little respect for morality and the citizens of this country that they not only do all this in public but they brag about it as they do it. And they think we are powerless to stop them and we are, if we let it happen. But there is a solution.

The solution is the left and the right, both, feel they are being ignored by the Congress and the White House. And while we may disagree on outcomes, I think we can agree that this arrogance needs to be addressed. I recommend the only solution is to vote every incumbent, at state and national levels, out of office. Let the right and the left support their choices for office as they wish. But just as a matter asserting our will as the "country of the people, by the people and for the people" we should kick every currently elected official out of office. We should through diligence, not term limits, only to allow those we elect to serve two terms at most until those we elect understand they are public servants, serving we the people.

In the immediate future all states which have not gotten sweetheart health care deal from Senator Reid should require their Senators to hold out for one. What is good for Vermont, Nebraska and Louisiana should be good enough for all states, particularly since those that don't get a special deal not only don't get a special deal, they also have to pay for every of state that does. It is the least we should expect our crooked, ethically challenged public servants to do for us. If they don't we should kick them out of office, which of course we are going to anyway. Right?

Obama's Peace Prize Speech

In regards to Pollitico's question about Obama's Peace Prize speech: "What do you think of President Barack Obama's acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize?"

For me it does not matter what Obama says. One, he makes too many speeches for them to be his own. Two, obviously, the administration has a speech factory in operation run by Axelrod and Emanuel. Speeches on every topic, from every angle, some are contradictory of each other and many contradictory to the actions of Obama and his administration are generated within the group of speech writers. Three, in this case, I like much of what he said, I just don't believe Obama believes all of what he said. I think Axelrod gave him a speech that would allow Obama to have it both ways. Getting the peace prize satisfied the left; saying what he said satisfied the right. Obama wins. The polls tick up.

With Obama it is absolutely essential to only watch what he does, not what he says. To use a basketball analogy that he will get; watch Obama's belt buckle, not the head fake.
