We have finally learned what Mrs. Palin really wants. We knew it all along, or should have. From her early days as a beauty contest participant Sarah was interested in attention and entertainment.  She got into politics because it was where she could entertain and get paid for it. She knew that while not the beauty of a movie star or a contest winner,as a politician she was extremely stunning. After a short stint as a governor luck came her way. The party needing a vice scapegoat(someone to loose an election without hurting a possible future winner) came calling. What a break, to share national attention with a Jackie Gleason sized partner, getting to do a humorous interview with Kitty, having a real entertainer do you better than you could.Being able to finally use all those cheer leading practice sessions for something. Sarah knew she wasn’t vice presidential material, I wonder who she voted for, but saw all that money being spent on a futile election for someone without enough knowledge and someone who changed his values every six years. I’ll write a book say some more outrageous things and get a few spots on Fox.  Facebook allows me to control my friends and look like everyone agrees with me. TLC wants me to shoot some wildlife and if I go around the country campaigning for other I can get paid and if I am lucky a few will be elected so I can do it again in a year or so. Tucson almost ruined my image but I came out being mad at false accusations , even if they were true. That didn’t quite do it so on an appearance for Hannity she said she was just like him and Limbaugh beck and the rest. People will understand and if not she can always go back to being a politician.

I not sure how Rep Foxx gets away with her poor little old granny act while wearing suits obviously not bought at Ross, Marshalls or the second hand store.

I called my Representative and Toomy to inquire where I could get an atom bomb,rocket launcher or some napalm. I told him that I may want to protect myself from governmental tyranny  like my second amendment rights afforded me. He said there were limits to those rights  hmmmm  Then why didn’t we keep the assault weapons ban?

Now that we are in full Republican congressional agenda. Kill time till the next election blame the lack of anything worthwhile being accomplished on the Democrats . We picked on their positive in the last two years by lying and now we will spend two years being unable to repeal it so we can run on the same subject next time. Then when we get the power we won’t repeal it because too many people will be using it. So we will look magnanimous and try and fix some of the things we know are wrong right now. We are so good. Please don’t tell people that the basis of insurance is a socialistic one to help payoff the greedy capitalists. Please don’t tell them that none of these half way programs work. After all look at Freddy and Fanny that we kept complaining weren’t making profits but we kept paying our appointees great bonuses. After all look how poorly the government runs things like the post office and Amtrack. Brown does these things and makes money? Of course they deliver the mail door to door six days a week. They have as many free pickup points as the post office and all their services cost less. They can charge more without congress agreeing to it when the cost of fuel goes up. If the profit making companies were not allowed to compete would the government service cost less? Penn Central is not out of business it is a real estate firm. There was more money in selling the land than running the trains. The government had given the land to the train companies but to provide labor, maintain the rails and equipment had costs but selling the land was minimal overhead. These companies just couldn’t compete and were definitely more efficient? During the debate for repeal the DMV was mentioned which isn’t a federal department. We already know that social security and medicare are well liked federally run programs. the last time I looked the Army, Navy Marines,Air Force,Coast Guard,SEC, FDA,FICA,FAA and many other fairly well run departments were government run. I’m sure there are many crooks out there and phony health care products that hate how these governmental departments are run. The Government saved how many jobs buy running GM not to mention the profit the government received. The Government take over of the insurance companies and banks was such a loosing proposition that it prevented total collapse not to mention the profit the government received. Government has been successful in running those institutions that should be socialistic and not interfered with by capitalists. The capitalists want these programs because they are very profitable and low cost until they ruin the basis from which they are formed. They don’t want to produce anything, they don’t want to hire labor. Capitalists today only want to create wealth and have power but do not want to supply a true product of value for it. True capitalism is great but this perverse form of it is the worst form of economy possible. We must set the rules or pay the price.

At 2:30 today President Obama addressed Organizing America on health care reform. He started out with a little history lesson about previous attempts at health care reform and social security.. He explained that many of the retorts against social security are the same for health care reform. Then he explained the fears of many people including loosing what they have. But as the discussion went on he warned that the status quo would disappear if things stay the same. The cost increases will make Medicare go in the red in just eight years. He said he favors a government option because it will put competition into the market.

The program then turned to question and answers. The first came from the internet The second from twitter and the rest from those in attendance. The most important question

was with all the opposition how will we get this done? The presidents response was that he was trying to get a bipartisan plan but that there would be a point where it may become obvious that can’t happen. He said I promised reform and we will get it even if the other side keeps its not working together stance.

Another good question was how are we going to pay for it? He said part was going to come from a subsidy that is now given to the insurance companies, part is going to come from reduced cost and part is coming from paying for results instead of repetition

An explanation of health care reform was pointed toward the fact that a government plan was only a small part of the reform but the other side wants to focus and defeat so the rest of the changes will go down with it so they won’t be affected therefore continue  to give bad service and real health care.

If we can just get back to the obesity rate of the 1980′s we could save as much as a trillion dollars in Medicare. The diabetes, heart disease, and other ailments are caused by this one preventive measure. He explained the difference between the active children to the computer generation along with our diets of fast food compared to fruit snacks of the past.

The president closed by saying the easiest thing to do is nothing because your poll number go up because no one disagrees with you. He said he wasn’t sent there to do that. He was sent there to make America better. The story line the opposition want is failure to produce and he wasn’t giving that to them.
