President Obama and his democrat cohorts want change but the rhetorical question is change to what?

They passed the Health Bill that 70% of the people don’t want. The major portions of it won’t go into effect until after the next presidential election because in its present form it is a disaster waiting to happen and the democrats don’t want the responsibility for the extreme costs and consequences sure to follow.

Now I know and everyone with any sense knows that our health care system is broken but no one knows how to fix it. Obama and his Czars are the least qualified by knowledge and experience to fix it. Their push is for votes, not what’s best for the country: same goes for immigration and the illegal immigrants and the Latino vote.

Only 8% of Obama’s Cabinet have the slightest business experiences yet they have taken over banks, stock markets, car manufacturers and other businesses in the private sector. I don’t know about you but with so few advisors with actual business experience, I don’t think they will inspire the rank and file American people, except perhaps the young and inexperienced who don’t know any better.

A recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.



Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%

England 46%

Canada 42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:

U.S. 93%

England 15%

Canada 43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

U.S. 90%

England 15%

Canada 43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

U.S. 77%

England 40%

Canada 43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

U.S. 71%

England 14%

Canada 18%

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in “excellent health”:

U.S. 12%

England 2%

Canada 6%

And Obama and the Czars want change? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want “Universal Healthcare” comparable to England or Canada.

Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, “Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age.”

SHIP HIM TO CANADA OR ENGLAND!

He is “elderly” himself but - remember his health insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high-end coverage!

He will never have to learn to accept “inconveniences”!!!

AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!

The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is ... a real life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt............ 38%

Taft............................40%

Wilson ....................52%

Harding....................49%

Coolidge................. 48%

Hoover..................... 42%

F. Roosevelt........... 50%

Truman....................50%

Eisenhower............ 57%

Kennedy................ 30%

Johnson...................47%

Nixon..................... 53%

Ford........................ 42%

Carter..................... 32%

Reagan....................56%

GH Bush................ 51%

Clinton ................ 39%

GW Bush............... 55%

And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is:

Obama................ 8% !!! This alone can explain the incompetence of this administration! ! ! ! 8%!

Yep! That’s right! Only Eight Percent!!! - the least by far of the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what’s best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me?

Give me a break. How can the president of a major nation and society...the one with the most successful economic system in world history - stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one? or about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers! They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs - or as “community organizers” when they should have been in an employment line.

It’s been said that the difference between President Obama and his dog Bo is that Bo has a birth certificate!

That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
