ACTION

       "You don't get to extract a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you're supposed to be doing anyway" he said. "Or just because there's a law there that you don't like."  Barack Obama, October 1, 2013

       UNFORTUNATELY, OBAMA IS WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS.  First, House Republicans aren't extracting a ransom.  They're playing the only card Obama has left them in their hand, for the sake of the nation and, two.....YES, Congress DOES have the duty and the power to do everything they can to change or eliminate a law it does not like or in this case, is disastrous for the country!  The facts and figures are out, the tsunami has begun, and except for the minority of Americans that are literally dirt poor, an overwhelming majority of businesses and individuals, not to mention every Union, has pushed back against Obamacare....loudly.  It is flawed, it isn't ready, and it will cost all of us trillions of dollars that we do not have.

       Once upon a time it was the law of the land that alcohol was illegal.  It was called the Volstead Act, also known as Prohibition.  The President, Woodrow Wilson had originally vetoed the law but Congress overturned that and passed it as LAW, and for over a decade it cost the American taxpayer millions of dollars, millions of lives, basically created the mafia and thousands of government agents appointed to enforce the law were easily corrupted by illegal alcohol manufacturers and got wealthy from it as well.  Not to mention,  Prohibition spawned the term "The Roaring Twenties"  ...everyone was still drinking anyway, and...Nascar was born from it.  After seeing the utter failure of the law, Congress did, in fact, REPEAL IT in 1933.  So, as I said......OBAMA IS WRONG.  Congress can eliminate laws "THEY DON'T LIKE" ..as he put it.  Congress has repealed and eliminated dozens of bad laws in the our short history as a nation.

    **"One faction of one party in one house of Congress in one branch of government doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to re-fight the results of an election,"   Barack Obama, October 1, 2013

     WRONG AGAIN!!!!  American history is LOADED with instances of Congress and State legislatures disagreeing with, ignoring and opposing sitting Presidents!!!   This comment by Obama only serves to show the extent of his arrogance!!!  We CAN oppose him.  Congress CAN oppose him!   Our Constitution gives us, as Americans not only the right, but the duty to fight aginst him if we feel that he is doing harm to our nation!

     The fact that Obama flat out REFUSES to budge and go back to the table with Obamacare and House Republicans proves one thing.  It was never, EVER about health care.  It's about control and, HIS WAY!!!  Everything Obama has done has proven to be an economic or strategic failure!!  Energy??  Struggling!!!  Welfare spending??  Doubled since 2007!!  Foreign policy??  Pathetic!!  (Americans are praising an Ex KGB thug for God's sake!!!)  I could go on and on but..........you know his abysmal performance already.

     As for the SHUT DOWN???  Yes, Obama owns it........100%, completely.   All Obama had to do was put it off for one year, as House Republicans asked, and everything would have kept on rolling.  ........BUT, that's not what Obama wants.  He wants Obamacare to roll out, fail, cost us trillions and create millions and millions more DEPENDENT Americans.   For a collectivist minded, progressive liberal like Barack Obama...success is measured by how many Americans he can get onto public assistance.  If this was, in fact, a good law, that served to provide health care for those without the means to do so, Congress and the American people would embrace it whole heartedly!!  We are a kind hearted people.  If you don't believe that, take an hour or so and research all of the charitable ornganizations operating within the USA and the trillions of dollars we have spent over the past 100 years helping people in other countries.  If this was a good law, the President would not need 6,000 new IRS agents to enforce it!  If this was a good law, there would not be a FINE taken out of your income tax returns for not signing on to it...and finally....if this was a good law, Congress, thousands of other bureaucrats and 100's of companies wouldn't be exempt from it!!!

     No No.....................this was never about health care.  It's about CONTROL, control of our money, our well being and our lives.  Obama is right about one thing.  This IS NOT how a Democracy works.  Besides the fact that the USA is a "CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC", not a (Democracy).......in a true Democracy majority rules and everyone is treated equally.  Obama fails on both counts again!!  A Democracy does not extort income from one hard working individual only to give it to another individual that does nothing for it.  A Democracy does not ignore the will of the majority of the people to appease the minority in exchange for votes!!

    Obama is neither Democrat nor Republican.  Barack Obama is a radical, progressive, collectivist, elitist socialist with a proven and well documented affinity for communist principles!   Obama believes in a small, elite ruling class and a nation of dependent servants.  House Republicans know this.  We should applaud them as hero's.  They're trying to save the country, and...our lives.
