Void of rhetoric and emotion is rare 2day

What you are about to see is how reasonable and rational people speak and think and most of what we read today are only snippets and sound bites that a the hallmark of bomb throwers and fire starters. They are not rational people. They have hate for a president in their hearts, empty as they are, and have lost the ability to reason logically and rationally. His restrain from going postal on the children is almost palpable. I think back to a friend of his in the Illinois legislature who said of his arrival in DC " He'll cut them off at the knees so quick, they'll think they were born short" and I know he has angered many of us, but he also has constraints put upon himself by the office that he holds and I believe he is doing his best.

I Own My Vote Do You?

Just wathced the president's speech and went to Fox, MSNBC, and a few others and they were all picking apart the speech and pointing out this and that they disagreed with and I am one who is sick and fucking tired of everyone picking and choosing their values on a daily basis so that they can feel better about themselves.

I voted for Barack and I own my vote. He is presented with a set of facts with which he makes decisions every day and most of the facts are unknown to you and I. I trusted him to do what he believes is right. He does not have the luxury of twisting in the wind and governing based on public opinion swayed by the media's penchant for ad dollars.

Christ almighty, grow up and own your vote.

I don't like alot of what he has been doing but I believe that there is reason he is doing what he is doing.

I always like to say to naysayer's...

I like the plan you put forth better.

STFU and read a good book!

All of this bloviating and hand wringing and posting this and that does nothing but assuage your own inability to accept your vote and own it.

I knew that when I pulled that lever and voted, I was giving him 4 years to decide what is best for our country and until his time is up and I need to decide on who is next, I am going to believe.

I have made my decision and I am sticking to it.

Laws Are How We Roll HCR Soon To Be Law

The passage of a public option is important because it codifies the ability of our government to be involved in providing health care.

Precedent set.

Just imagine the amendments that might occur to the law over the next 4 years to get to single payer and provide all of us with what we want today.

All good things take time.

These amendments will be voted on and passed just like that new bridge or new rail station going up in your town that was passed late on a November night when the people in Washington were anxious to get home for the holidays.

Oh! I,m sure that they will speed a few things up that play to the voters and maybe provide health care for some of those without to insure reelection but the majority of the long term benefits will occur over the next 4 years insuring a Democratic majority for years.

Genius I'm tellin' you. He's good, hell he's great!

Now all we do is make sure public option gets voted into law.

He's taken that knife out of his back, yeah that knife, and sharpened the point so it goes in painlessly.
