Are you like me? Your head is spinning from all this "Health Care Reform" discussion. Obama wants one thing, the rest of the Democrats another, and the Republicans still something else. What has happened to the change promised? Yes, I know we have had a change of leadership and some change of policies, but when I was thinking change, I was actually seeking improvement. Improvement the way our leaders go about things. This has not happened. It is still the almighty party dictates how its party members think and legislate. And unfortunately most of the time those on both sides of the aisle really act in a way that makes me believe their attitude is F--- the American people. It is I that have been elected as a member of my party and therefore it is what my party wants that is important and not the people who elected me. And what does the party want? If you are a Republican; The party wants all of the money in the hands of the Large Corporations for it is they that know what is best for America and its people. If you are a Democrat; The party wants all of the money in the hands of the Government for it is they that know what is best for America and its people. How about Joe American? This poor guy is stuck. He is F-----, no matter which way it goes. All he wants is affordable health care. Unfortunately, either way this thing goes his health care will not be affordable. He either has to pay through the nose for increasingly high insurance premiums and unbelievably skyrocketing costs for anything associated with keeping him and his family healthy and alive or pay through the nose in taxes. Besides, more and more when a member of his family sees a doctor, they(the doctor and provider) are more concerned about their bottom line than our health. What the hell is going on....? In a civilized society shouldn't we all expect to be treated in a respectable fashion? Shouldn't we all have the benefit of the knowledge of man, which comes from God, that can save our life and make us better? If we see a man dieing on a street is the first thing we should ask is how are you going to pay me if I save your life? We now allow hospitals and doctors to do this very thing. Every day in America someone dies because they could not afford to pay for the health care they needed. What is the Democrats solution to this? Instead lets send all the money to the government and let the government take care of us. Wow! This has really worked good in the past. Exhibit A is education. I'm sure all you right wingers have millions of examples. What is the answer? Joe and Jo American we must take back our country. We have to quit letting the politicians and big business run it and our lifes. We need a new political party in this country. We haven't really had a new impactful party in this country since the early 1850s when the Republican Party was formed in Crawfordsville, Iowa and Ripon, Wisconsin the two places that have a rightful claim to the Birth Place of the party. This new party needs to be formed from the grass roots. From the bottom up. We do not need some filthy rich American who wants to be President to start a party. Jo and Joe American need to do it. We can do it!!! Like the song I hear in church goes..."Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with Me". It has to. It is the only answer and the only real hope for reform and improvement (not just change). It has to begin with all of us! I would like to hear from you! Randy Novotny Randy@WddNews.com |
| Eddie & Eydie See with Evelyn See Eddie and Eydie See with Evelyn...They are proud that pounds 7 ounces. It cost them several 1000 dollars to have her. In 1954, it cost less than $50 for Evelyn's grandfather to be delivered in the same hospital and it included 3 days of room and board for both the mother and the baby Unfortunetly, they are concerned about their ability to afford the needed health care. If something should happen to Evelyn or one of them...they might have to quit their jobs or get divorced so they could get the needed assistance from the government. This is not opinion....This is Fact! |

long before Joltin Joe had left and gone away from the planet. He was figuratively asking where all our true heroes have gone, because in the 60s when he wrote the song we needed heroes and didn’t seem to have any. Right now we need Leaders and don’t seem to have any; at least any that seem to understand the need to show concern for the problems and issues of the people. The President is supposed to be a leader. A leader of all Americans and the free world. Our current President reminds me of the little kid playing baseball who always wanted to pitch and finally got his opportunity and says “look at me mom and dad, I’m pitching” and then gets shelled. It doesn’t matter to him because the only thing that does is that he is the pitcher. The outcome of the game isn’t important. His teammates aren’t important. The only thing that matters is he is the pitcher. That’s all that is important to mom and dad and his other followers as well. It doesn’t matter how good of a job he is doing. To Mr. Obama’s defense he is not the first that this has happened to in recent years. The last George Bush started out strong as a leader and was remarkable through 9/11 and the days that followed. Somewhere in his second term he just seemed to run out of gas and no longer possessed the same qualities. It might have been even sooner. Clinton was more of a “Teflon Bill”. The good times we had during his administration probably had little to do with him. The balanced budget was probably because of Newt Gingrich and the rest of Congress. Sometimes, it is better to be lucky than good. A true leader would never be caught with his pants down as often as Clinton was. A true leader would not embarrass us like he did. The first George Bush just seemed too far out of it at times. He really never connected with the American people. Maybe, it really was that silver spoon. Good men in many ways, all of them, but just not the leaders we need in the White House. Ronald Reagan was a remarkable leader from bell to bell. The best (by far), I can remember in my lifetime. He led because he possessed the wisdom necessary for the position. He could connect with people on all levels. He was truly concerned about making it a better country and a better world. The Presidency isn’t as much about policy as it is leadership. It matters not if you are conservative, liberal, middle of the road, or something else. Can you lead? Can you put confidence in the American people? Can you portray the United States as a strong yet compassionate country? Reagan had it all. I’m not sure if Obama has any of it! I have to confess, I voted for Barack Obama because I thought he might possess Reagan type leadership. So far, he has failed me and the rest of the people of the United States of America! I am not Rush! I do not want him to fail. I want him to succeed. Just like I always want everyone the American people put in a leadership role to succeed. I am not controlled by party politics like so many in our country. My only hope is for our country to get better. On the top of the pyramid of the Great John Wooden’s “Pyramid for Success” it says, “Do your best when your best is required and your best is required everyday”. That’s what I want out of our leaders. That’s what I want out of the United States. Now more than ever our best is required. We cannot be at our best when our chief leader does not have his eye on the ball. The Olympics for Chicago in 2016 means practically nothing to the success of this nation. Yet, on the very day when unemployment rates were announced at the highest rate in 26 years, just a couple of days after our commander in Afghanistan revealed the embarrassment for all Americans that he had talked to the President only once; where was Barack Obama? In Copenhagen, hoping to further his “Rock Star” image by being there to celebrate the announcement of Chicago winning the Olympics for 2016. Right now our President is drowning in arrogance! While many are terribly hurting in this country, while young men and women are dying and being permanently maimed on battlefields in different parts of the world our President and other leaders stick to politics as usual. What’s the hurry on healthcare? We certainly need some kind of reform. Americans deserve affordability. However, we do not need a plan that is rammed down our throats without input from all sides. Let the soup cook before you serve it. Let us decide if the soup is ready to eat or if it needs more or less ingredients. Don’t tell us how great it is before we have a chance to decide. It seems to matter to our leaders only what happens to them politically and not what happens to “We the People”. Our political system is sick and it is making our country sick as well. Unfortunately, “We the People” keep treating the symptoms instead of the disease. The disease is that both parties want control of the people. The only difference is they want to control the people in different ways. So, what do we do? We treat the symptoms with a pill in the form of the vote that changes the symptoms every few years. The problem is when we cure one symptom the others come back and so forth. We are in a vicious cycle that can only end in death. Death to the great country of the United States of America! We can still save the patient, but we must begin to treat the disease. You treat the disease by taking a new course of action with new leaders with a goal for them and the country to do their best everyday for the people of the United States and the Planet Earth. We must quit being controlled by the Democratic and Republican parties and their special interests. We must elect leaders not associated and controlled by either party. That is the treatment for the disease. That is how we save the great country of the United States of America! It has to begin with all of us! I would like to hear from you!
