So you’ve got the sick folk on one side of the road and the doctors, nurses and specialists on the other. They NEED to get together; they WANT to get together because — contrary to the fiscal strains in popular mythology — medical people are not JUST about earning a living…
-
However, the road’s and eight lane intra-state; it’s a toll road where reckless people speed to make money and unscrupulous people set up shop at the under and over passes, the intersections the sick folk HAVE to cross…
-
Can the sick and the healthcare providers get together? Yeah. When the majority is ready: clear out the self-serving and vulturine traffic that’s flourishing in between.
-
So what lane’s Ramirez ridin’ in, I ask you?

If you can’t fight the gov’t by superpac, join gov’t by superpac.
Eisenhower warned about the use of money in politics in his farewell address. We have indeed gotten to the point where we have the best gov’t money can buy…it’s just that the people buying the gov’t are the ones who are remodeling it. The SCOTUS did not do our nation a service with their Citizen’s United ruling.

I say if it is done above board so what. Funny thing is this president has vowed to be the most transparent. There in lies the joke. To bad the punch line that is Obama will cost the USA a lot.

@Harleyquinn
Please do extoll your wisdom upon us and tell us what President Obama is going to cost the USA that hasn’t already been spent by baby bush? Our reputation? Our troops lives? Our national treasure? How about our sick who can’t hold a job to have or afford health insurance? Or how about our poor who can’t find a job that pays a living wage due to the “employers” job market? Or our troops whose pay is so low that military families qualify for food stamps? Or military helicopter drip pans procured for at least twice what they should cost? Or the warships the Navy is told it must have but does not want need nor asked for? Please do tell us just what it is that President Obama is going to cost the USA, And be careful, your mindless partisan shill status is on the line.

Great response harleyquin. Some people FORGET who put us where we are today. Always blaming Democrats but repubs get a pass.

Hahahahahaha … how typical. don;t say what Obama is doing because Bush did it too.
Take that one more step and remember that they ALL did it, every last one of our presidents have “sold” access to the WH to their cronies.
So what Obama is doing is just “business as usual”. Got that in your head? Business as usual".
Now let me think. Who was it that said “I am going to CHANGE the way business is done in DC”. Hmmm, that would be Obama.
Yep, ran on "Hope and CHANGE.
But we just have business as usual going on.
Just my opinion but don’t you think the country could use a little real change? Or maybe your just afraid to fend for yourself and must rely on government largesse to survive. No worries. Soon – if we keep on doing the same things – you are going to find out what it means to BE part of that bottom 50% of the bottom 50% because we will all be there. Well, maybe not people like the rich Obama family.

@TheTrustedMechanic USA that hasn’t already been spent by baby bush? Our reputation? Our troops lives?
Bushes fault? again? So the dept is still Bushes fault after 4 years? 9 – 11 -13 they were chanting “obama we are osama” while they killed 4 of our men at an embassy, something that has not happened since Carter. our reputation is getting to be as bad as Frances when it comes to as Obama would classify “over seas man made bad things” or as the rest of us would call terrorism.
Or how about the only thing Obama has grown, the welfare roles. yeh cost us.

O is appointing a new Budget Director today.
That’s like the Mayor of L.A. naming a new Director of Snow Emergencies.

Large White House, centrally located in historic neighborhood.

Current occupant unable to provide insurance of clear title. .

However, occupant will accept large amounts of other people’s money for promised repairs to imagined defects.

This would be a good way of starting a conversation of selling off some government land. Maybe a few of those empty government office buildings.
Just sell the empty buildings and we could get god knows how much.

LOL, this reminds me of the old joke:
“We’ve already established what you are, Mr. President. Now we’re just haggling over the price.”

You mean, other than the dozen or so embassy and consulate bombings etc under Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II? This was the first to claim an ambassador since Carter, but still.

Also, Benghazi was a consulate, not an embassy.

In 2008, then-Sen. Obama [arguing against] “the cynics, and the lobbyists, and the special interests who write the checks and get the access while you, the poor suckers inthe audience get to write a letter. They think they own this government, but we’re here today to take it back.”
.
They’ve taken it back, all right, and now they’re milking it for all it’s worth.

And Barack Obama lead with the video tape lie. What difference, at this point, does it make?
.
Barack Obama is a failed leader.

Get him out of the White House. Get ’er done!
