Oprah on tour! Oprah Winfrey, one of the wealthiest, most popular, and most powerful women in media and the country is on the stump for Barak Obama. There was great press about Bill Clinton using his popularity to stump for Hillary. Now there is a real competition. Oprah Winfrey is way more popular than Bill Clinton is and ever was. She came out for Obama a while back, but now her actively campaigning for him is a shot in the arm. If Oprah puts her popularity and money into the game Obama can only surge. Hillary is now in trouble. Real trouble.
I am not touting Obama. I am a Republican after all. However, I am overjoyed that the Clinton crime family finally is finally getting its comeuppance. Now if the reports and rumors about corruption in her campaign financing can be proven, we may see a jail sentence. She may even look good in prison orange.
Trent Lott is resigning from the Senate. Good Riddins! Trent Lott supported amnesty for ILLEGAL ALIENS, he has been a supporter of the Fairness Doctrine- never read the First Amendment- he has treated his constituency like dirt, and he has treated the public interest and the public coffers with disdain and contempt. He is no Republican. He is a pseudo-conservative, and he will not be missed. Good bye, good riddins, oh, and the worst of luck in starting your lobbying firm in a shameless attempt to make big bucks. Hope you go bankrupt.
OBAMA VS CLINTON
DES MOINES, Iowa---- Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama intensified the bickering Sunday over their competing health plans, reflecting the crucial stakes as Iowa's leadoff caucuses in early January approach.
Clinton said Obama's proposal was ''crafted for politics'' and the latest example of his shifting policy positions. Obama said much the same of her approach.
Obama has a better idea for health care than Clinton ever had. If it was up to Hillary Clinton, many people would die instead of receiving health care. Obama has stated repeatedly that he wants the American people to have the same health care that the U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate has.
What is left out of all of this is the nefarious scheme that the Democrats have concocted to push Universal Health Care down our throats. It is called the squeeze play. Since senior citizens already have health care and children are being covered more and more, the people in the middle, the rest of us, will be squeezed into accepting government or government sanctioned mandatory health care. Soon, we will have no choices in our personal lives and decisions.
Politicians are not serious about health care. The federal government has not allowed new medical schools to be built, even though there is a shortage of doctors, especially specialists. They refuse to regulate the medical field, allowing it to regulate itself. They over regulate the pharmaceutical industry, driving up the cost of drugs, especially life saving drugs.
Question, would you trust any politician- Liberal or Conservative, Democrat or Republican, to govern your health care- the most important decision you make for yourself and your family?
