I don't know what Obama's health care plan is, in the meeting with Republican's he said some stuff sneaked in and that there were some provisions that may not allow people to keep their current coverage, etc., Obama never gave a detailed plan, he simply promised everything to everybody and turned the dirty work over to Congress. Obama gave himself, as he usually does, a way out, to say he had to compromise, to say if the bill doesn't deliver it was not his fault. Obama's rhetoric on health care was full of conflicting goals, no bill could deliver on all of his promises. You buy the B.S., I know better.
Obama reminds me of my first experience with a true B.S. artist. I had a female friend in high-school, an older guy starting showing interest in her, she would share with me what he would say and do, I told her it was all B.S., and that he just wanted what was between her legs and when he got enough of what he wanted would be done with her. Every time he failed to live up to her expectations, she would cry to me, and I kept telling her to stop buying his B.S., but she fell for it and fell hard. Eventually I went to him and suggested that he leave her alone if he wasn't serious, and then he starts with the B.S. with me, about how he cared, how he was going to do better, etc. I called him on it. He laughed and said to me "yea, you're right. I thought that was unbelievable at the time, how could a person do that, how could he be so convincing one minute and laugh about it the next. I grew up a little that day, I know the type and Obama fits the profile.
Again, excuse me for blowing off some steam. It is frustrating watching people buy into what I think is B.S.
