Because I Said So

“Because I said so” was the threat my parents used when I was growing up. It worked because they had the power. Sadly, Obama is using those same tactics.

Obama is telling us that His healthcare plan is good for us, but won’t relish reading it. Do you remember how many copies (I don’t, but it was a lot) of the Ken Starr report were printed up and snatched off the shelves to read about Bill’s sex life?! They should be promoting it with that kind of fervor.

I can’t imagine Bill Clinton or his surrogates telling citizens of this country that he wouldn’t be actually reading the whole bill. I think he’d be lauding it and encouraging people to read it. Obama is telling the people to swallow a pill that “those in charge” are not expected to swallow, because it will be “good for them.”

Basically, people are living in fear, which Obama fails to acknowledge. So, it’s like: hmm, healthcare or food and rent? To them, to us, to me, it’s not about value-added services (health care–although I would love to have me some), it’s about putting food on the table, paying my rent, and bills, not in general, but right now.

Middle managers, factory workers, small business owners have lost their livelihoods. More and more small businesses all over town and the boroughs — businesses that had been around for 20, 30, and 40 years — are being replaced by banks. Shiny new banks.

Instead of using the “brain power” of all those people on his team to think up jobs, job programs, encourage small business, innovation, etc., Obama is doing his best to make people have something he says they should want instead of what they do want: a job.

He does not “feel our pain.” (Paris, Broadway date night, Martha’s Vineyard don’t go over well symbolically when people are jobless, underemployed, and losing their livelihoods.)

I agree with with those who say he is a socialist and a fascist, on top of being a narcissist. Mainly, Obama is an idealogue.
