Remember, this is all about hatred for a black man.
We sort of knew that it would be the progressive lefties who would reach for the razor blades first. They were the most ga-ga eyed in the Hope & Change Kool-Aid line because they finally had a president who spoke their language. In their minds, it was a foregone conclusion that the president was going to turn the U.S. into Denmark-on-the-Pacific before the Nondenominational December Workers Respite.
Alas, even Barack Obama gets temporarily bogged down in the mundane pragmatism that anchors so many of us when we get a big people’s job.
That, and he’s always been more concerned about his legacy than actually helping anyone. As such, he’s willing to sign off on any piece of crap health care reform, even if it screws the majority of Americans.
So the poor dears on the far left are going to petition the elected leader of a government that may be the least responsive to its constituents in the history of this alleged representative republic.
Good luck with that.
Still, it’s interesting to find points of agreement even among the most ideologically disparate factions.
When Barack Obama announced his health care plan in 2007, he said insurance premiums for a family of 4 would be cut by $2500. This plan will see premiums increase $1000 each year.
“Racists!”
Obama said “coverage without cost containment will only shift our burdens, not relieve them.” This plan does nothing to meaningfully contain spiraling health care costs.
“Obstructionists!”
Obama said “it’s time to let the drug and insurance industries know that while they’ll get a seat at the table, they don’t get to buy every chair.” This plan includes a deal between the White House and PhRMA that guarantees there will be no negotiation for Medicare prescription drug prices.
Obama said he’d go after the drug companies who “sell the same exact drugs here in America for double the price of what they charge in Europe and Canada.” But the White House deal not only doesn’t do that, it bans the reimportation of cheaper drugs from Canada.
There’s so much agreement going on here I feel like I might need a shower.
I wonder how long they’ve known he was full of crap?
Strongest. Kool-Aid. Ever.
But we have our first group of sober people checking in from the left fringe.
