Obama Doesn’t Care About Health Care Reform
By Robert Good
Obama doesn’t even care about the well-being of the Democratic Party. He urges the Democrats on as they put their majorities at risk trying to pass a God-awful bill that the American public doesn’t want. Comedians have even joked that he is some kind of secret agent of the Republicans.
What’s going on? Obama has bigger fish to fry.
While the country has been transfixed by the Congressional and media circus, the action, folks, is elsewhere—and Obama has been getting a lot done.
Ordering KSM tried in federal court.
Extending Miranda rights to the underwear bomber.
Investigating CIA agents who are trying to protect America against Islamic terrorists.
Tasking the CIA with tracking global warming.
Halting construction of America’s missile defense shield.
Cancelling production of the F-22. (Russia is bringing out its version, by the way.)
Allowing Iran the time it needs to finish developing nuclear weapons.
Even if you have not been paying much attention to the news, you may have noticed some of these decisions, and other decisions like them, that Obama has made. Odd decisions, aren’t they?
Or perhaps not.
A government take-over of health care and a massive tax on energy to “stop global warming” may be stalled in Congress, but you have to admit that these loud debates certainly do keep the liberals aroused, the media busy and the country focused on the mess in Congress.
I’ve heard people ask how Obama could spend 20 years in Rev. Wright’s “God damn America” church. Perhaps that is not the question people need to be asking.
Perhaps the right question is: what if Obama actually shares Rev. Wright’s feelings about America? What would he do?
