Health care and Pres Obama

Hi

Today the congress is debating a health care reform package. There is a divide in congress especially in the democratic side of the aisle. The president is pushing for his version which is socialized medical care for the people but the polls show that people do not want a government take over.

The president has tried to "bribe" the Lou8isiana senator to vote for his version He has done this by promising a great amount of money to Louisiana to help pay for the states share of medicaid and medicare. Is this leadership. Why is the president pushing for a health care reform when the people don't want one. A good leader would reflect the opinion of the people and do the right thing. The president seems to be more interested in his image and taking over the American economy. Where is the change, where is the leadership. Mr Obama has been a disappointment so far. He has not shown any thing except his own ego and a complete disdain for the will of the people. Small wonder that his poll numbers are going down. We deserve better.

The congress people who go along with this "bribe" so not show any leadership or courage either. I thought the pork was being cut out of our spending. I quote John F Kennedy - "Ask not what your country could do for you,,but what could you do for your country". Mister president and members of congress please reread these words and act accordingly.

While we wait for congress to act let us not forget our brave protectors. Pray for them.
GOD Bless
