Obama

What's best for you?

Which will unravel first for Barack Obama, his radical policies or his steely demeanor that closely masks his anger at criticism? It's obvious that he revels in constant adoration and seethes at those who question him or dare to disagree. Has no one ever told him "No"? Or does his arrogance really prevent him from realizing there may be opposing viewpoints? So, everyone becomes an enemy in the world of Obama.

Obama detests the profit margin. Most companies are in business to make money. That's why it's called business.

But insurance companies were excoriated during the healthcare push for the very reason they dared to profit when, in fact, most companies offering health insurance normally have a profit margin of only about 2 percent. They were also vilified for denial of services though the most prolific denier of services is government-run Medicare. The Humana Insurance Company was threatened and told to discontinue literature informing their policyholders what Obamacare would really mean to their healthcare. Everyone who has read the healthcare bill, or figured out the eventual catastrophic results of Obamacare, has been accused of spreading misinformation. And the government went so far as to set up a website for you to inform on your neighbors, should you hear them spreading opposing views.

This isn't the America we know. This isn't the America in which we were raised. It would seem "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" has been usurped by Obama's version of America, "of Obama, by Obama, and for Obama" or else.
