Earthquakes, Biden and health care
Several political observations. Interesting story in the Daily Herald concerning the earthquake we experienced on Feb. 10. Fascinating to learn that the quake emanated from a previously unknown fault line. Rumor has it that Obama immediately decried that from that day forward, it would be known as the "Bush's Fault."
The Democratic Party has jumped the shark (imploded). How utterly pathetic was Joe Biden when he appeared on the Larry King Show recently and pontificated to the nation that Iraq was one of the greatest achievements of the Obama Administration. A comical and surreal statement even by Joe's standards. This is from the same intellectual soothsayers who uttered such infamous comments as the 'surge will never work' and 'the war is lost.'
A sudden surge of monolithic pro-Obamacare letters to the editor. Liberals must have received their marching orders from Moveon.org, MSNBC and ACORN. I have memorized the redundant bilge, "I stand with President Obama and call on Congress to finish the job" Free thinkers, those leftists.
According to the most recent Real Clear Politics Poll, an aggregate of all polls, has 53 percent of Americans against and 38 percent approve. Game over. The Democrats had a super majority of 60 Senators and a 75-seat House advantage and still couldn't pass Obamacare. Oh, those Republican obstructionists.
Recent examples of government-run health care: the UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar who recently said about Canada's health care system, "Like a third world country." He would have died in Canada if his wife didn't drive him across the border to Bismark, N.D. Or the Premier of Newfoundland recently flown to the U.S. for heart surgery? Not Montreal or London? Or the 4,000 hospital bed shortage in England. Britain's women giving birth in hallways, bathrooms and elevators.
