I had yes we can-telope for breakfast this morning
This morning I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, best of the left, it was a back episode aired on the one year anniversary of Obama’s inauguration. And I remember why I voted for the guy, his speeches were very motivational and concise not derisive nor negative like another campaign I remember. It seems to me to be the largest part of his election was the fact that he promise grandiose things which seemed to be the best thing we could possibly hope for in this country. And it should be expected that these things would take time (except repealing don’t ask don’t tell which seems to be the next thing this administration is working on). Health care has all but failed this time around because of the lack of public interest in further enriching corporations who insist on a welfare program namely forced participation in their health insurance plans. The health care issue is by far the largest issue that has come out of this administration so far and it seems he doesn’t quite know what the people want even though the polls have consistently shown that people want a public option. But it seems that our elected officials have given up on what the people want because the pressure of the six health care industry lobbyists per congressperson has drowned out our voices and I am going to propose two ways to solve the problem, eliminate lobbyists or constitutional amendment. to be continued…
