In the past few weeks, I have listened to Barrack Obama's speeches. I have also talked to many people who believe Obama's plans or changes for this country is what we need.
This is wrong.
For 32 years I lived in East Germany. I didn't have a choice. For four years, I suffered as a political prisoner in a Russian East German Prison Camp.
They tried to re-educate me by forcing me to read Marx, Engels, and Lenin and the communist manifestoes.
When I hear Obama speaking, I hear Marx, Engels, and Lenin. Please, the people should listen to what he says. It's mine to hear for everyone's health insurance.
I have no health insurance myself, but I lived under socialized medicine and this is bad. I assure you, in Germany, France, and other places in Europe the medical care is substandard. There is no medical care for older people, they will offer the older people the pill.
Others wait a long time for medical appointments and medicine is in short supply and often non-existent.
Everything that is government run is not always good.
Obama wants to socialize this country. It didn't work in Russia; it didn't work in East Germany; it didn't work in Cuba; and it won't work here.
Obama does not have the experience to lead this country.
He will be tested as John F. Kennedy was tested by the Russians. When Kennedy became president, he was tested by the Cuban Crisis and allowed the Berlin Wall to be built with electric fences and mine fields to separate the free from the oppressed. I prefer an older, wiser president.
To be free and to raise my son to be free, I walked through a mine field from East Germany to the West with my baby on my back and made my way to America.
He is now a major in the U.S. Special Forces after having spent two tours of duty in Afghanistan and one tour in Iraq, and now being sent to Africa as a foreign affairs officer.
He is an American, and I am an American. I value our freedom.
Don't give us a socialist communist state.

This woman would make a GREAT GUEST on Hannity or perhaps Fox and Friends.
From people who know. Bless them!
Not my words, these are the words of a woman who has EXPERIENCED true Socialism first hand, and was IMPRISONED for NOT blindly following the dictatesa of the Socialist dictators who governed her former country.
So how living in the DDR allow her to make blatantly false blanket statements about health care in Germany and France?
Also comparing socialized health care to living in a commie country is just way out of proportion. Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany and a lot of other countries seem to be doing quite well with socialized health care and it seems not to have transformed them into a version of Cuba, the USSR or China.
