Honestly I'd not gone anywhere, I have been here all along, just watching, and waiting, and waiting and watching. Afterall, that is what Owls tend to do, am I correct or am I correct? I know that during my brief sabbatical many in the GOP were most likely musing that their assessment of me as a liberal voice was accurate. Well, nothing can be further from the truth. I merely believe in giving everyone a fair shake.
So what have I observed? I guess the real question is what haven't I observed. People America is falling apart at the seams and no one seems to really give a damn about it. Let us tackle a current hot topic of debate, that being the recent signing of the Health Care Reform Bill, or what the Republicans like to call "Obama Care" into laws.
I am going to ask for a show of hands, an honest sh ow of hands, not just putting your hand up so you don't feel left out. How many of you have read that Health Care Reform Package from cover to cover? I am going to be honest with you, I have not even done so. With that thought in mind, and if you are one of the truly honest Americans who admits to not being one who read the bill from cover to cover, how can you possibly have a position against it, or for it? Do you like 3 Musketeers because of the shiny wrapper, or because of what is really inside of the wrapper?
Face the facts. If you are like 55% of America, then you have no Earthly idea of what is actually in that Bill, yet you are taking a position as if you wrote the darned thing. Now it is not your fault that you are not completely aware. We all know that President Obama promised complete transparency, and thus far that is one campaign promise he has failed to keep.The result proves that it does not matter is a Republican of a Democrat is in the White House, e very single one of them make a habit of treating Americans like mushrooms. You know what I mean, they keep us in the dark, and they feed us crap. Is it any wonder why 55% of Americans are clueless when it comes down to what these political leaders are doing with our hard earned money? So what do you do, if you are Joe The Plumber and you want information to support your position? You go to your friend who follows the news, FOX News that is, and he seems to be a little more knowledgeable than you are about the topic, and from there you formulate your opinion. Did you do anything wrong? No, you merely got your information from a trusted source, one you drink beer with, and fish with, and do other things with. Now, was the information you received accurate? How about less than 20% of it, because people tend to lock onto what they feel is important to them, darned the rest of the information. Case in point; A small business owner locked onto the fact that his taxes were going to go up , and it so enraged him that he condemned the bill without regard to the fact that it removed the clause for Pre-Existing conditions which most insurance carriers use to deny his wife coverage as she battles Breast Cancer.
Bottom line is this America, there is good and bad, Beef and Pork in this new Health Care Reform Law. You can rest assured that there are many aspects of it I will not like, but there are also several aspects of it that I am bound to like. We can not go around tearing our country apart because this thing was passed. Certainly we have the right to be upset about the way it was passed, because that was down using some underhanded political trickery. Good ole Washington DC, Inside the Beltway Smoke and Mirrors routine, I have seen it so many times it is unfreaking real. Do not allow this new law to be the result of America drifting backwards on the lines of race relations. I am going to keep it very real with you. I have white friends, I have black friends, I also have Asian, Hispanic and other friends. I love my friends. So, with that thought in mind, let us not allow this nation to become further divided along racial lines. President Barack Obama had more than a year to prove himself, and in fairness he has moved some small mole hills. He needs to start moving mountains, of else 2012 will be a very cold year for the DNC. Funny how I can only remember two elected Presidents in my lifetime who only served a single term. One was a Democrat, Jimmy Carter, and the other a Republican, George H. W. Bush. Will Barack Obama get a handle on things and serve 2 terms, or will he be the tie breaker of the single term Presidents. I will agree with Vice President Joe Biden on one thing, this is "A Big F@#$ing Deal".
