Back In The USSR

I use that title because I am not feeling that democratic today. BTW, I hope you notice that all of my blog titles are also songs...all of them. I take time and care in choosing them, so I hope you appreciate! Sorry, just a bit angry with this health care bill that is going to be passed today.

Ok, let's take ALL partisanship aside, all of the pros and cons against the health care bill off the table, and let's look at it as I see it and why it pisses me off. I'm also going to go on record that I am a Libertarian. I don't say Republican because I couldn't give a crap if two men marry, if a woman marries a toaster or if the man/woman who got pregnant decided to get an abortion. I don't care--I just don't want to pay for it!

Back to the argument at hand. My problem is this. Obama comes in when our economy is the worst that I have ever seen in my lifetime, the situation in Iraq is majorly f'd up and for the first time in my life, I actually don't have a job and care about job creation. So what does he make his number one agenda item? Health care! Seriously, it wasn't THAT bad. I think of it like someone coming into the ER for a heart attack and a doctor giving them a boob job. He is really off the mark on this.

And YES, he inherited problems from GWB who WAS an idiot, but you know what Obama...your job was to FIX IT. Boo Hoo--guess what Einstein, all presidents have to deal with the previous person's screw ups. Just like GWB had to fix all of Clinton's stupid decisions--hello Glass-Steagall act??? Wait, he didn't fix that either! See, NO president seems to fix the previous administrations problems...they just make things worse. But Obama, I thought a change was coming? You would be different. Alas, you are just like the rest of them and will probably be a one-term president if the GOP can find a candidate who can take a middle of the road approach on abortion and gay rights. Because be you cruncher or evil-rich guy, in the end, we are all pocketbook voters, and if the economy is the same as it is now, you're outta here BO!

I guess my point is that these crazy partisans on both sides are really grinding my gears. Everyone has to be labeled and no one can agree with the other side, even if they are right. Republicans are all closeted gays who oppose abortion and Democrats are all Prius-driving hippies who compost their own feces and if you are on the opposite team, you have to hate each other. Where is Nader when you need him? Or anyone else for that matter? I feel like I am on crazy pills! Honestly, where are the smart people who should be leading this country?

Mark my words: Things are going to get a whole lot worse. And it isn't because Obama is a Democrat--it's because he isn't doing his job and getting our country out of this big ol' funkadelic funk! Really, he needs to focus on creating more jobs--Jobs for someone like ME with an MBA, not more jobs on construction sites or assembly lines (although, yes they are important too.) Get the troops out of everywhere--honestly, where are the bleeding liberals on this one--and finally f'ing kill Osama Bin Laden so we can all have a big party and love each other again. Seriously, if that happened, it would be a great day in America.
