Clash for clunkers
As Obama basks in the glory of his cash for clunker flash in the pan program which really just adds up to a nice week or two of normal sales when things were normal, members of congress are being confronted by citizens who are dead set against his health care ideas and have no answers in which to sooth the restless.
It’s recess time for congress and although it’s not required it is a sort of pseudo tradition to hold town meetings with their constituents and listen to the concerns of those who they lead. This year however, some congressional leaders are afraid to go home. It seems that if they do there will be loud, bold and well informed voters there to greet them.
Normally this is not a problem for the slick and professional politician but this time it’s different. This time the ignorant sheep have done something that our elected officials have not. They have studied the health care issue and actually read the bill. In so doing millions of people are coming to the realization that this is a bad bill that will seriously undermine our health care.
Already town-hall meetings have been too much for democratic congressman who tried to rely on White House issued cheat sheets for answers. Frustrated and perhaps embarrassed some have walked out and others not used to being challenged by the great unwashed just floundered in their weak answers.
President Obama has now apparently had enough and has stepped in giving new marching orders and is hell bent on ramming this bill (that even he doesn’t know what’s in it) down our throats. He has also called in unions who backed his candidacy and are not affected with this trash he’s trying to push to intimidate and “hit back” all those who oppose. Before today the meetings have all been civil but with the leader of the free world commanding ‘force’ to be used these meetings are now turning into clashes. If it continues and our president continues to act so un presidential and uncaring for all the people then these clashes will become even more psychical.
If not for the future of our country, our children and our way of life I would say these so called leaders are not worth the effort and possible harm that this administration is promoting. If it were just for the sake of beating back these privileged elitist who haven’t had to sweat or get dirt under their nails in years (if ever) to earn a living I’d say ignore them, after-all they’re just clunkers and maybe it’s time we scrapped them.
