Living with a mistake is difficult, because we made a choice and it is, and always will be a part of our history. We learn from mistakes, which helps us to be wiser in the future. Normally it may take awhile before we even realize it was a mistake, but years later we look back and see the folly of our immature self. We need not focus on misjudgment, instead be self assured enough not to fall for the same ill advised logic that led us to the first mistake.
Having declared a preamble, I maintain America made a dreadful mistake electing Obama as President. In a few short months we can clearly see the embarrassment, especially when dealing in foreign affairs, and lack of experience abounding in all areas . Even a novice can tell the Presidency is "ALL about HIM" and his fascination of being in front of the camera...with a dozen teleprompters, or so. He has embarked upon a worldwide Carnival Cruise, via Air Force One. This President is about Power and Control, and We The People are the only obstacle in the way.
Right now we are enduring this mistake, and watching the consequences daily. How did we get here? Total frustration with the status quo drove some rational thinkers to abandon logic for fantasy. A strategy of "change" was enough to convince us to buy an untested product, not proven safe for consumption...but we were so starved for a fresh taste...we gobbled every morsel, and asked for more. After digesting, we realized it didn't taste so good going down, but the temptation was unsurmountable. Now we are left with the acid reflux, bloating, constipation, and variety of unfortunate side effects. What to do next????
Our bodies are remarkable, and able to "right itself", despite what we put it through...in most cases. Unfortunately, swallowing hook, line, and sinker, the promises of this President, was like happily acceping a ticket on board the Titanic. We cannot complacently sit on deck and ignore potential icebergs in our path. Health Care is the first major test of wills between this President, his cronies in Congress and the American People. Now is the time to take over the ship and avoid the collision. IF we don't take this stand, we will be plunged forever into the abyss of Socialism, where the Government will be "The Voice " of America, not the People.
Attend Town Hall Meetings. Respectfully engage and be informed on what the Government is proposing and how it will affect you. Challenge the side stepped answers. Write, fax, email and call your Representatives to tell them you want independence from Government run Health Care. Health Care Reform is needed, but the Government is the Problem, Not the Solution. Bring together all areas of the health arena to hammer out a more cost effective reform for Americans...without Government intervention.
We don't have to Live with this mistake forever...a new diet is just around the corner!
