Not to mention that, if you need to see a specialist, you have to wait weeks, because the "good" doctors have their own private practice, where their fees are not "mandated" by the government. Is this the path USA wants to go?

Is this the path USA wants to go?

I wonder if he realizes how much like George Bush, Sr. he is? Remeber his admonition, "Read my lips, no new taxes"? Well, let's hope that the American public treats him the same way they treated old George when he did increase taxes. It's ok, he never meant it in the first place.

I called mine last week to let them know that I the tax payer, am upset with how they plan to spend my money. Didn't effect their vote on Saturday unfortunately, so they both need pink slips in 2010. They all need term limits, but that is another topic. We need to channel our energy by letting our Senators know how we feel.

They will be multi-millionaires with nice fat pensions, and secure both in home and person. Many will undoubtedly become lobbyists and further fatten their personal fortunes. All of those government contacts DO come in handy, don’t they? The worst thing is that they will blame everyone but themselves for destroying the opportunity for millions.

He was berated for speaking the truth, in the wrong venue. Representative Wilson, was fed up with the lies being generated from every corner of the political body in Washington. Pelosi and Reid's gang were angry at being exposed, but the reality is, as Jack Nicholson said, in the movie, "A few Good Men" -- "You can't handle the truth." Apparently, neither can our politicians!" Term Limits, are needed more then ever, in order to oust the representatives and Senators who will not represent the American citizen and the Constitution.

By this point in time, we should all realize that Obama will say or "pledge" anything, with absolutely no intention to keep those pledges. He is a Marxist that wants to drag this country into his vision of a socialist society. The sooner we all reconize who and what Obama is, the sooner we will get our country back.
