Finally someone asked Obama the question
A few days ago on "ABC-TV" (better known as the "ALL
BARACK CHANNEL"), during the "Network Special on
Health Care," Obama was asked:
"MR. PRESIDENT, WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH
CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW 'UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM' THAT THE
REST OF US WILL BE ON?"
(Bet you already know the answer...)
There was a stony
silence as Obama ignored the question and chose not to answer it.
In addition, a
number of senators were asked the same question, and their response
was "WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT." And they did. It was announced today
that the "Kennedy Health Care Bill" was written into the new
Health Care Reform Initiative ensuring that Congress will be
100% EXEMPT!
So, this great new
health care plan that is good for you and I, is not good enough for
Obama, his family, or Congress.
Why should we
accept a Universal Health Care overhaul that doesn't extend to
everyone, while the Washington "Elite" keep right on with their
gold-plated health care coverage?
