Obama Would Sign Parts Of Jobs Bill, Push For Rest

Tuesday, September 13, 2011


There is no doubt that Republican­s are scvm.  None.  But Democrats aren't any better.

More people voted for Obama than have ever voted for any presidenti­al candidate in the history of this nation.  For a black man.  Please stop with the racist garbage.  Does racism exist in this country?  Yes.  Is racism what is preventing Obama's being able to deliver on his campaign promises?  No way.

You're mistaking words for action.  I don't give a chit what politician­s say; the proof is in their actions.  The proof is what they do.  

One example of the BS game that Democrats are playing is with healthcare­.  We already would have had a public option (and very possibly, single payer universal health care) had it not been for Obama and the DLC-contro­lled Democrats in Congress.  

The week before and the week after the healthcare bill passed in the Senate was the one and only time a public option had any chance of happening until another generation passes.

A group of senators had mobilized behind it since the bill had to be passed through reconcilia­tion anyway, and there was no way that Democrats weren't going to get enough of its members to vote against it just because it had a public option in it.

Obama nixxed it.

The excuse was that if the Senate did that, the bill would have to go back to the House for a vote and "There's no time!"

After the (allegedly­) pro-public option senators accepted that excuse & stood down, 2 flaws were discovered with the bill requiring it's return to the House anyway. It was all done in the de@d of night, before anyone could say, "As long as you have to send it back anyway, how about slipping in a public option?"  

Obama's not only not for any kind of universal public health care, he'll do everything within his power to prevent it as long as he's in the White House. Because that was the deal that he made with Big Insurance, PhRma, the AMA, hospitals, etc.  To keep the Big Corporate Health, for profit corporatio­ns,  controllin­g Americans' access to medical treatment.
