Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Consider what followed. In the presence of the president of the United States, Nicaragua's communist President Daniel Ortega launched a 50-minute diatribe attacking the United States.

Did Barack Obama return the compliment by defending the United States? Hell, no. Instead, he made a joke about the length of Ortega's speech, which he allowed to go unchallenged and unanswered.

It is becoming obvious that above all else, Barack Obama wants to be loved and admired, and he thinks the way to achieve affection is to act like a patsy instead of as the leader of the world's wealthiest and most powerful nation, dedicated to individual freedom.

Instead of reassuring those people being ground under the heel of despotic regimes that the United States stands with them and will refuse to bow and scrape before their oppressors, he plays kissy face with the worst of them.

Apologizing is not a sane foreign policy. It is the foreign policy of a weakling. And it didn't work in Europe where the people listened to him begging forgiveness and shook their heads in wonder.

Contrast his behavior outside the United States with that here at home. The namby-pamby, apologetic Barack Obama seen outside the U.S. disappears here at home, where his administration shows signs of employing the Gestapo-like tactics of foreign despots such as singling out patriotic Americans for opposing baby-killing and out-of-control borrowing and spending, and terming them "extremists" who are endangering our homeland security.

This is getting scary.

About The Author
Michael Reagan, the eldest son of Ronald Reagan, is heard daily by over 5 million listeners via his nationally syndicated talk radio program, “The Michael Reagan Show.”
CIC
It is astounding to me that obama was ever chosen as a candidate, let alone voted into the CIC, communist-in-chief, position. The information about him and his relations with terrorists and communists were widely publicized but even now you can't get a dem/liberal/socialist [Socialist--nice way of saying communist]to admit that what is going on in the financial arena will completely destroy America. They do not WANT to see it. I think they really do see it but dismiss it out of mind as something they do not want to contemplate. Of, course, the problem is, we will ALL suffer for this stupidity that has been thrust on us.
I truly wish we had a president.

Our President
My response to a Peggy Noonan e mail fits with Michael's commentary on our President's activities and words (or lack thereof).

"Whether John McCain thinks waterboarding is legal or illegal, he has never been faced with decision "to do or not to do" as President of the United States, under the responsibility to all citizens, not just lawyers and extremists on either side of the political spectrum.

What scares me is that our current president is a lawyer, among other descriptions and has no experience in affairs military, terrorism or family discussions about the same."
