Hehe, well now we know for sure IW is back
. Didn't read the full length of the above wall of text but, regardless of Rush and co. wanting him to fail, that is very different than him actually failing. It's almost like they decided if they think it enough then it will become true. Stupid really.
I think he's been absolutely stellar, personally. It is such a pleasure to watch a president who can actually talk for one. Secondly, he can address an audience, take live questions from supporters and critics alike, and answer them thoughtfully. That, in itself is such a refreshing change from the blubbering we got so used to seeing in the past.
I only wish the idiots that are screaming dumbass things like "keep the goverment out of my medicare" (lawl) would stfu for a minute and let him help them. They act like they're so terrified about entities deciding who gets care and who doesn't, that they forget someone already does that, and screws them bigtime for it. These are known as Health Insurance Companies and they have much blood on their hands. This is the very reason it's in dire need of a revamp.
A part of me wishes we could take the people who (for reasons that are beyond me) actually want to hold on to the current broken system, and seperate them into their own state. I mean, why help people who don't want to be helped? Don't let them drag the rest of us down with them, just because they are clueless and protest about something of which they have no idea. Let 'em keep their shoddy system and let it continue to leech their money, and deny their claims and treatment, refuse to pay for their surgeries and politely point them to the small print during their medical emergencies. Meanwhile, the rest of us can join the ranks of the developed world and actually enact a comprehensive healthcare system - the USA are the only ones who don't have one yet, you know.
