Personally this entire Obama hype is getting tiresome, to me he seems just to be another photo opportunity for world leaders, he has not accomplished anything but divide in the U.S and this healthcare is an outrage to say the least. Americans is better off without it and I hope that in the end of all this the Americans votes in a born leader like Ron Paul or his son cause frankly, these last four presidents have only been put in office by bankers and other high profile individuals running a state in the state from different interest groups and special lobbies. I hope the Americans can pull their heads out of this whole BS affair and move along with a representative that do represent the people not so much media hype. I'm disgust by the whole matter. Alex Jones The Obama Deception is a nosedive into reality. More people should see it and being able to connect the dots. This is not about race, creed or skin colour this is about common sense and the U.S right now looks more like the E.U with people patting each others backs, smiling big for the cameras without accomplishing anything just hoping to score just another Golf holiday with their next to them butt buddy. Give it a break. Awaits Nancy Pelosi intimidation tactics to be called racist for speaking his mind.

Waking up are we? America was turned into a host to feed the bankers. It is clear to all that they get whatever they want. America became for the will of the bankers, rather than the will of the people. Worse is to come, the bankers are not nationalists, and their capital is mobile, so off they go to look for another host, after exploiting the American people. Hard lines though, us Russians have skin like a crocodile, no way in there, so where will they go next to live off and exploit a host? Africa? I don't want to get into a debate on US healthcare, I think enough time is devoted to it. But I will say, providing good quality healthcare to a nation is a moral obligation. A fully free system doesn't work, a filtered system doesn't work, an insurance cartel doesn't work, a pharmacetical controled one doesn't work, a civil servant physician salary based one doesn't work. But what can work, is when adults have to make decisions on health based on cost, like paying for a first consultation, even if claimable back, paying more for chosen lifestyle but not discriminated against for natures 'gifts', having direct access to consultants not through a filtered general practitioner, providing a glut of doctors, to make demand and supply work. providing a concept of solidarity in insurance, where covering the costs is the motive, not covering the profits. Belgium chocolates with a twist anyone? Over 80 good reasons to eat them!

As an american I can see that Obamas hands are tied by the american media which is doing all it can to cast any changes in the health industry that may put a dent in their profits in a bad light to the public.I see fellow workers actually belioeving that the current system works while we are paying a much greater portion of our pay checks for our health costs.The real ruling class in america is the wealthy which is also a very small percentage of the population.

I have never seen this country so divided and so mistrustful of the government. Not even during the Viet Nam War. And I am old enough to remember well over 60 years of US history. I have never seen this government so out of touch with the people. I saw over 1 and half million Americans march on Washington. The biggest group ever. There were professional people like Doctors, lawyers and civic leaders, poor, rich, middle class, children, members of the military, Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Coal miners, mechanics, teachers and people from all 50 states!! There were members of every race and creed!! This was no mob!! This was America!!

Ack!! Interesting handle there.... it is like the sound I make when I read Obama's lies. Oh, those and the ACORN comments he made the other day. It was like a daddy saying, Oh I have other things to be concerned about than MY OWN CHILDREN... those I created!! ACORN was Obama's life and his work for a long long time and now after they helped him get into office, he disowns them. Yes, that's an "ACK" in my book, baby. ACK! ACK! ACK!! Obama and his cronies OWN the media... that fringe media that covers NOTHING but what pleases this HIGH AND MIGHTY, mr. obama. They NEVER respect the AMERICAN PEOPLE, the working and patriotic Americans!! That media has got their own interests at heart.IT IS MONEY AND POWER! The Rich people are MOSTLY LIKE George Soros and Teresa Hines Kerry... they control the USA. BOTH of them Obama's puppet masters. And neither one of those two RICH FOLKS were even BORN in the USA. A land of opportunity founded by MY ancestors who fought a Revolution and sacrificed so we could be a FREE people. Only now to have louts like Soros and Hines-Kerry take it from us! ACK! ACK! ACK!

I am still waiting for some intelligence among American public. Have not seen much of it yet. Everyone on the right is blaming Obama, even if they do not like the weather. And whatever Rush Limbaugh says, goes, no matter how utterly stupid it is. So, the good old Americans are ready to criticize, but do not understand a thing, nor do they actually know what they are talking about. On the other hand, the progressive, educated and informed are ready to toss Obama under the bus. Yet, I do not think that they themselves understand why, o why cannot Obama do anything, and why, o why, cannot the Democratic Congress act to save its own life. Because we are not free. Not us the people, not our representatives, not Obama. We have the private bankers, that hide themselves under the deceptive name Federal Reserve. They are as Federal, as Federal Express, and there is not an R of the Reserve in what they do. How many people know which are the Banks that constitute the Fed? And who are the majority owners that actually control what those banks do? Who are the key investors? Why are these same Banks "finding" hundreds upon hundreds of billions for "AfPak", and not for anything needed at home? And why would the American public accept the fleecing by health insurance companies, that add nothing to the health care? For the privilege of paying them to actually administer a system of rules, we have turned over an enormous amount of money to the cartel that is building tall towers, as monuments to their glory and our utter stupidity? But will the Mr. Corporate, Rush Limbaugh ever say that? Will his following actually understand what they are muttering, when they reject any form of health care reform? God help us. He only can.

Nobody trusts the us government anymore so they do not trust their health plans. These health plans include putting people in concentration camps if they do not take a vaccine. Doctors currently make a lot of money in US. They want doctors to go poor because they do not want anyone who actually cares about people's lives to be rich or powerful.

I think this Obama hype and his," I am the savior of the world" nonsense needs to come to a stop. This man is doing nothing but driving this country into socialism.If you ask me, this man does not have a clue on how to run a country. This country is a sovereign country and we should not be led into this Obama world order.
