   The question to be answered is who is driving whom crazy. From what I’ve seen, it’s the socialist leftists that seem to be acting a little crazy about the town halls lately.

   Now, more than ever, we’ve got to be on the same page to create real change in the health care system for working families across the country.

   I don’t think they care much what kind of change comes for all those “working families” so long as it’s what The One wants.

   There’s something sinister about it all and I’ve got a bad feeling about it too.

    Obama always has an eye out for an opportunity for self-enrichment.

    His other eye glints with a hint of devilishness when he discusses “his intent.”

    He is constantly on Air Force One.

    He actively supports SEIU, their agenda, their methods, and is proud of his association with them.

    His social programs are designed to ingratiate himself with the public, and ultimately be the cause of massive entitlement dependency.

    He is the embodiment of…

    “A one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater.”

    Sure looks strange to me…

    “And then he went on his way, and then what do
    you know. I saw him last night on a TV show.
    He was blowing it out, a’really knockin’ em dead.”

    Thanks to the Big Bopper.

    health reform bill

    Duping the masses. This isn’t health reform, Mr. Stern. This is an insurance takeover bill. More power to the elites in Washington. You won’t be included, Mr. Stern. As an “useful idiot”, you and your followers will be ignored, once you are no longer needed. Obviously, you slept through history class.

    Who do they think they are kidding? These townhall meetings are populated by local voters. So SEIU sends there purple-shirted thugs to tell local voters to shut up for the cameras. Does anyone want to guess what that will do for Obama’s polling numbers?

    Phil and Fly, if SEIU members are/will be exempt from gov’t controlled health care then it should be made clear by questioning in the town hall meetings. Needs more exposure.
    And since congress is exempt…

    I work in a Union store. Same thing. Some Union “Business Agent” some in tells then what to do/think hands out a flier and sticker or button and moves on. Most do it. I crumple it up and toss ti on the floor.

    Because of that I apparently don’t care about my Co-workers.

    Why, oh why, is the President of the United States
    

    “holding a live health care reform strategy meeting”

    with a Union whose members are exempt from the plan, so far? I wonder if he’ll address the SEIU thugs who attacked Mr. Gladney outside a townhall meeting and justified their thuggery by claiming,
    

    “He attacked America!”

    I RSVP’d on the website and asked the following questions:
    

    What is your reaction to SEIU members physically attacking anti-reform protestors such as happened in Saint Louis when Mr. Gladney was attacked? What should we do to prevent altercations that result in SEIU members being arrested?

    (If your question is selected during the forum, you will be identified by your first name and city only.)

    I doubt they’ll select my questions.

    That Sir, is an outstanding question. This has NOTHING to do with health care FOR the SEIU. It has to do with government funded “jobs” (and I use the term loosely) FOR the SEIU

    The word “sinister” is a perfect description of this administration. I had been looking for just the right word and that is it! And, isn’t it nice to know that the POTUS thinks of us as his “opponents”? Silly me, I thought the POTUS was supposed to represent ALL the people. Apparently, in this administration, only liberals count. The rest of us are dismissed as troublemakers. There is no longer any doubt that this is war and the corruptocrats in DC are the enemy of democracy and freedom.
