None of us would want the job of sitting in a room with those folks because you’d have to sit through all the whining, crying, sobbing, temper tantrum throwing and attempted bribery. But, Obama does live in a nice house…

Why is he allowed to create or donate these independant political influence groups? So he can do it again?

Yes. On behalf of health care czar Orzsag’s old employer, Robert Rubin’s creation, and Obama’s guiding light: the Hamilton Project. Defenders of America’s insurance and finance billionaires.

The rest of us are merely extras.

$1.7 billion extracted from medical services that may have been unavailable as a result of his embezzlement. I wonder how many people didn’t receive necessary treatments as a consequence? How many unnecessary deaths results? How many easily treated illnesses blossomed into severe or chronic conditions? This is disproportionately theft from children, pregnant and new mothers, the elderly and the poor. Why is this guy even allowed anywhere near lobbying our Representatives, much less receiving government contracts, anymore? Why is he allowed to create or donate these independant political influence groups? So he can do it again?

America want’s health care reform? Will not likely happen until the ruling elites are swept from power once and for all. It’s a corrupt political system that is incapable of real reform.

That’s an idea…we could get it out to the right wing pro-lifers that Scott’s “Conservatives for Patients Rights” is actually for choice…a stealth campaign using code-words.

I want the Michael Moore film “Sicko ” shown on National tv before we have this debate.
We claim to have a free media but do we have the freedom to show something on tv that the healthcare industry advertisers won’t like?
If the advertisers don’t like like it do we have freedom is the question in a Capitalistic Democracy.

I wonder how many Jon McCain voters are dead who might have lived to vote for him if only we had national healthcare?
McCain’s strength was after all older white male voters.
The private healthcare industry hoisted on their own petard?

“Harry and Louise” ads

Imagine how much money would the average American have saved on healthcare over the years if Hilary care was enacted back when Bill was President.
Now imagine how much more money would have been saved if instead of Hilary care we had National Healthcare!
Obama plays compromise, plays good cop nice cop we play bad Lefty cop who gets results!
We persuade the swift boaters to go along with Obama because we will take things even further!

We need to show what healthcare costs add to the price of American cars and how much cheaper those costs would be if American car companies only had to pay what Japanese car makers pay.
Then we need to link that number to the current cost of the automaker bailout. We need to say that the high price of American Healthcare helped kill our car companies by making their cars more expensive.
