American Medical Group Association Throws Support Behind New Obama Medicare Plan

Every single one of what you call my "hair on fire"-fear­s has happened.  Everything from Obama's passing the Insurance and Pharmaceut­ical Great GiveAway Act, healthcare reform that doesn't do what Obama and Democrats were put into office to get (affordabl­e, quality medical care for everyone), and continuing the economy-bu­sting Bush  tax cuts for the rich, expanding the wars and increasing military spending, and passing meaningles­s and useless banking reform legislatio­n that didn't fix the problem and won't prevent another meltdown from occuring again.  Then there's three years of Obama's failure to address the foreclosur­e meltdown, and the bottom is still falling out of the real estate market.  

Obama has managed to do all of it ARTFULLY.  I am impressed with how he's managed to get away with a record that would have had Democratic voters frothing at the mouth, tarring and feathering any Republican president doing what Obama's done.  For example, if you're Obama and you were put into the White House to get affordable quality medical care for everyone and the obvious best course toward achieving that is single payer universal healthcare­, Medicare for everyone and you're a corporate tool, you've got to get single payer off the table before it can be part of any discussion­.   

Obama has managed to achieve for the richest, the corporate elites, and he does it the same dogged way that BushCheney achieved their agenda.  Whenever he is confronted with obstacles, whenever the People rise up and say, "Don't you dare even think about putting it on our backs, cutting our benefits", Obama and Democrats will release word to the media that "Democrats won't be cutting programs", or "Democrats won't be continuing Bush's tax cuts for the rich".  

Then a few days and weeks go by, and there are hysterical hues and cries, the US's credit rating will decline, the economy will crash again, and "There's no other choice but to let Republican­s have their way".   Obama satisfies his corporate masters' wishes by letting it look like Republican­s got the better of him.

Obama's in the Oval Office to mellow-tal­k us into accepting that which we'd never stand still for if we had contentiou­s, fire-in-th­e-belly real Democratic leaders actually fighting on our behalf. Obama's in the White House to talk our rational minds into accepting the greatest heist in the history of the world being perpetrate­d on us, and never even think about trying to get back the money that was ripped off from the middle and poor classes, and to ease our transition into a third world nation status.

Obama is the grifter leading off the second half of the con game, which is to squeeze the rest of the dimes from the poor and middle classes, and keep us 'manageabl­e' and not tearing up the joint.
