Bush & Company

President Obama is determined to reform our chronically unstable and inhumane health care system in favor of proven-effective initiatives offering secure health protection, affordable, and available to all.

The current conflict is exacerbated by Blue Dog Democrats while the lunatic fringe of the population continues to be egged on by powerful hate-mongers, and extreme Republican leaders---lobbyist-financed---largely unrebuked by their party---hell bent on bringing Mr. Obama's presidency to defeat in 2012 or preferably to a violent, premature end.

House Minority Leader John Boehner, along with other conservative Republican representatives, wore a sour expression throughout the president's address to Congress September 9. He says not to rush into reform, that the Obama plan is too costly. He says big government is a threat, that looming socialism is a threat, whereas the real threats are media personalities who hawk paranoia and hatred and politicians who on false premises lead and voters who hysterically follow and carry guns.

Mr. Boehner, why so glum?
Just where are you coming from?
Seeming to condone what some
Of our citizens have become,

Eaten up by fear and hate,
Unyielding, mindlessly irate,
Conditions you helped to create
While preaching that reform can wait.

Although health care waste and abuse
May be in part just an excuse
To decimate the president,
Feigning legitimate dissent,

The party that keeps saying no
Aims to retain the status quo
As civic progress they ignore.
What do they think a government's for?
