America Under Attack

I agree. This is a smokescreen so that the American people continue to be blinded by President Obama's true agenda. I am still amazed that the President's closet allies can call law abiding citizens "angry mobs" and " Nazi's " and he is unusually quite. I have not heard any public comments by President Obama condeming these attacks on all Americans and I have not heard any rebukes to his cronnies in the Whitehouse. President Obama's silence conveys his approval of these statements. In conclusion, any statement coming from the Obama Whitehouse needs to be interpreted only after the smoke dissaptes so we can see his true agenda. The American people are being attacked by our own President. Let us not let this phony health care debate blind us from reality.

We are not out of the woods yet,

There may be talk of removing the public option from the bill but the whole bill needs to go. Didn't the administration say that the goal of the bill was to provide affordable health care to those who could not afford it a.k.a. the public option? So, if that option is out what is left? According to sections 220 forward, the program was only going to be expanded Medicare, subject to Medicare fee schedules, governed by Social Security Regulations. The bill reads like an insurance policy but I find section 246, no coverage for undocumented aliens permitted and things like Grants for nurses training only for teaching hospitals with unions(subtitle D, section 2351) some interesting reading that you won't hear being discussed at town halls. The administration is happy to keep the talk of 'death panels' and cable new as the primary topics for the meetings but this is a smoke screen. We need someone to take apart the bill, section by section and let the general public know exactly what they mean. That is what the media should be focused on.
