Presidential Purpose
By Cessna
“Liberals” have pretty much been on the right side of every major issue in the history of this country.
Ending slavery. Medicare. Social Security. Voting rights. Every one fiercely opposed by conservatives.
Those soft-hearted liberals were against going to war in Vietnam and Iraq. Those ventures both went well, didn’t they?
Now liberals want to make sure everyone has health care benefits.
Is there any hope this will pass, or did Obama just stick his foot in the biggest bear trap?
And if he doesn’t succeed in this, what will his presidency even be about??
“W” had a presidency with a purpose: He wanted to go to war, specifically with Iraq. It took some creativity* to convince the American public that there was a REASON to go to war with Iraq, but he succeeded, and got us into that war. Yeah!
Reagan had two goals, giving tax cuts to the wealthy and spending more on the military. He succeeded on both counts.
Obama did have one goal foisted on him, to bring the U.S. out of the economic chaos of a recession. It is way too early to determine his success on this.
Oops, almost forgot, getting us out of Iraq was another pressing goal. While the end in Iraq (to some extent) appears to be in sight, we may be in Afghanistan a long-long time.
Those are not Obama’s programs though, they are just pre-existing issues that needed fixing. Health care for all Americans is really his baby. His legacy.
Will he succeed? The verbal fighting is fierce, with lots of insane red herrings being tossed about (death panels??).
Regardless, SOME DAY there will be national health care in America.
Republicans are now staunch defenders of Social Security and Medicare. To NOT do so is political suicide. When these programs were proposed, however, they used the same scare tactics they are using now …too expensive, socialist, communist.
They have a great new scary word though…. Nazi. Yep, apparently the scariest thing about the Nazi’s was a plan to provide health care for all their citizens. JUST LIKE OBAMA !!!
The Nazi’s also had BMW provide many/most of their vehicles and other war equipment. Wouldn’t that make any American who buys a BMW a Nazi? It works for me!
If and when it is passed, you can put large amounts of money on this: Republicans will eventually say that national health care is one of the things that makes America great, and they would never dream of dismantling it.
*Creativity = Huge lies repeated endlessly so that morons believe them to this day.
