So, the President Hasn't Done Enough?
President Obama has accomplished more in the last 18 months than Dubya did in eight years, unless you count running our nation into a ditch in every way imaginable.

Spineless Dems
If Democrats were really serious about health care reform, they'd write an excellent bill, with no concessions, and let Republicans filibuster. Then Republicans would be the bad guys. Then when reform passes and works and Americans are happy with the results, Republicans will be exposed for who they truly represent - the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries. I don't understand why Democrats are so scared of a filibuster? Maybe I really don't understand it, but a filibuster doesn't kill a bill. It only delays the inevitable and shows Republicans true colors. So what if you have to go through and read all 1100 pages of the bill? When voters see how petty and obstructionist they are, Republicans won't continue to get elected. Get a spine Democrats! You haven't done what you were elected to do and now the momentum has shifted. Remember who sent you to D.C. You haven't fought for us!

The Republican Philosophy
My wife found this comic recently while stumbling the web using StumbleUpon. And well, it depicts exactly why I don't support anyone in any way from the Grand Obstructionist Party.

It's All About Death
I know that I have posted several video clips from "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." I make no apology. On Wednesday, October 7, Mr. Olbermann devoted the entire hour of his program to a Special Comment entitled "Health Care Reform: Saving American Lives." My words cannot add to or do justice to what Keith explains here. All I can say is that as I listened to his experience of the last couple of months, I have complete empathy as a registered nurse who experiences similar patient care issues on a more frequent basis than I want to admit. The time has come to fix our healthcare system now and to do it right. For the reasons Keith explains in terms of the insurance companies and their "cartel", we must stand up as a people to our government and tell them we want them to work for us and each American life, and to stop working for the insurance companies which are profiting exorbitantly at the expense of our sicknesses and suffering. In the "greatest/richest nation on earth" it is ethically and morally wrong for anyone to have to go bankrupt or even DIE because they were denied health insurance. I implore all to watch this Special Comment and then commit to making healthcare reform a priority. At the risk of using cliche, this really is a matter of life or death.
