President Barack Obama has completely discredited himself with his reckless, arrogant, and high-pressure handling of his socialized medicine scheme. The only thing keeping his diving approval ratings above single digits other than blind partisanship and the dependency class he is voraciously expanding is the public's partial unawareness of the unmitigated horrors of this plan.
I have begun to go through H.R. 3200, the House bill Obama is telling us we must adopt (or some facsimile thereof) lest the world come to an end. It's a good thing for Obama that everyone doesn't have the time or inclination to do what I'm doing and that he still has an appreciable cult following that doesn't demand scrutiny in exchange for its unconditional support.
But his good will is fading fast and will fade faster the more people learn about this outrage, which explains his uncompromising demand that the bill be passed immediately even before he realizes what it contains.
Can you imagine the arrogance of a man who insists we have to pass a bill while simultaneously admitting he is unaware of a provision that would prohibit the reacquisition of private insurance by those who lose their coverage? Can you imagine him after getting caught with his pants down on this issue saying he will not sign a bill with such a provision yet simultaneously browbeating Congress to push through the bill that contains that very provision so he can sign it? Way beyond amazing!

There are laws against conspiracy to commit murder. What is this? This Healthcare bill is just that, it isn’t a law yet, but it states doctors will be appointed to write orders, and if they won’t the govt will have their own drs do it. There is no provision to opt out of the government healthcare if you are in it. If you read it, it will ruin all insurance companies forcing everyone onto this govt plan, and if you make any changes to your plan, then you go to govt plan..yada yada yada until ALL AMERICANS not in govt employment will have this plan...get it.
...why aren’t arrest warrants issued? The same as BC, no demand of proof of citizenship, and no arrest warrant, and no judges are hearing cases with evidence about ACORN.
There is a reason for this, and WHY these people are not following Constitution. There is a reason, but I can’t post it.

“Where did you find the awesome Odin artwork? Is it online somewhere?”
Like all my graphics, I shamelessly lifted it!
The web addy is

Stick that into the img src=”” in the middle of the quote marks, and bracket the beginning and end with greaterthan lesserthan brackets and you can use it too.

Anything in there about permanently disabled people? Do they have an obligation to "get out of the way"? Will further treatment be withheld? Any counseling for those people to get out of the way?
What about DNA analysis to screen out those deemed a waste to treat?
I am angry. That this legislation can actually be introduced in the congress of the United States of America is an obscenity.
