    Waste?

    I'll make this short and simple--

     

     

     

    People are [wagon] holes. Whether you know it or not, you are. Everyone says bad things about people behind their back, everyone has at least one bad thing to say about everything they see, hear, or come in contact with in any way, shape or form. So it's only natural that the people who flame/make fun of 'Fred and/or Jack' find something wrong, or inadequate about their accomplishment, whether it be jealously or they just don't plain like the guy, that's how things are. We can't control it, and there is nothing you can do about it. So no, 'Fred' and 'Jack' your accomplishments aren't a waste, you just need to learn how to take the good and the bad. Things aren't going to be sugar-coated all your damn life, so get used to it.

    Got 32 Farming, planted all my Willow trees, that should get me to 35, hoping for 40 By the end of Sunday. :) Got WC and FM to 30, WC was from cutting down my trees lol. FM was burning the logs. (Obviously.) Doing some Fishing and Cooking in the meantime-- after that it's Agility, Thieving, Hunter, Quest that gives Herblore, then Smithing and Construction eventually... Oh, and Crafting needs to go to 30 as well. Anyway, good night everyone! <3:

    This is not the Barack Obama we elected.

     

     

     

    Wednesday, August 19th 2009, 4:00 AM

     

     

     

    Taking the stage for a town hall meeting on health care the other day, President Obama emerged from behind a curtain in a fake jog. He pumped his arms in an exaggerated fashion, but his smile looked forced as he waved and shook hands with a few audience members.

     

     

     

    It all seemed a campaign ritual, dulled by time and beleaguered by circumstance, prompting a flashback in my head to the Paul Simon song about Joe DiMaggio.

     

     

     

    Where have you gone, Barack Obama? Where is the sunny-side-up young man who promised to inspire and unite and unhappy nation?

     

     

     

    Gone into the partisan sinkhole of Washington, that's where. Like some novice swimmer too confident of his own ability, Obama is suddenly finding himself in water over his head.

     

     

     

    His flailing, including a foul habit of demonizing dissent, is not pretty. And that brief foray into e-mail tracking of critics showed a win-at-any-cost side.

     

     

     

    Where is the appealing man we elected? Where is that Barack Obama?

     

     

     

    Let's find him quick because the whole nation is paying the price for this impostor's irrational exuberance. Or hubris.

     

     

     

     

     

    Americans, more of them every day, are growing disenchanted with the expansion of government and the massive pile of debt. Yet the President, certain he can change their minds if only he talks to them again, keeps trying to sell bigger as better.

     

     

     

    The public's not buying it. And as a measure of the nation's mood, a recent poll was practically cruel: Nearly half thing the President is on television too much. Ouch.

     

     

     

    Obama fatigue occasionally surfaced during the campaign, but this is different. He's the President, and if the country tunes him out, there is no Plan B. He's the rock star-turned-salesman, and everything in his administration depends on his stage act.

     

     

     

    That the novelty is wearing thin is obvious. The danger is that the health care fiasco turns him into an unpopular and ineffective President.

     

     

     

    Those who say it can't happen should study a recent New York Times/CBS poll. Among the lowlights:

     

     

     

    * Sixty-nine percent believe Obamacare will hurt the quality of their own health care.

     

     

     

    * Seventy-three percent believe they will have less access to tests and treatment.

     

     

     

    * Sixty-two percent believe Democrats' proposals would force them to change doctors.

     

     

     

    * Seventy-six percent believe Obama's changes will mean higher taxes for them.

     

     

     

    * Seventy-seven percent expect their health care costs to rise.

     

     

     

    All those findings run counter to the claims Obama makes. Even as he talks in vague ways about what exactly he favors, he promises the bill that emerges from Congress' sausage factory will be a magic elixir.

     

     

     

    Writing in the New York Times, he guaranteed everything for everyone: "If you don't have health insurance, you will finally have quality, affordable options once we pass reform. If you have health insurance, we will make sure that no insurance company or government bureaucrat gets between your and the care you need."

     

     

     

    "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."

     

     

     

    Those claims would be credible if they were a multiple-choice question, where only one is true. To say they can all happen at once is a crock, and the country knows it.

     

     

     

    Heck, throw in a free puppy for everybody, too.

     

     

     

    With stubborn wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and an economy still bleeding, you'd think a new President would have challenges enough. Yet Obama has plunged into the health care mess as though it is a battle of absolute necessity.

     

     

     

    It isn't. It is his choice. And it is a mistake.

     

     

     

    If he's the man we thought he was, he'll now choose to make peace, before the county concludes he's the mistake.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This article on President Obama's proposed health care plan written by M. Goodwin of the New York Daily News, is quite possible one of the largest low blows on our President. Goodwin not only mocks his health care plan openly, but he attacks Obama's character, it seems he doesn't like the fact that Obama isn't as happy as he was. (Of course he isn't as happy, being President is hard work!) What does that have to do with the health care? I'm not openly saying my political position, and I don't want questions on it. That's not what this topic is about. Tell me how you feel--

     

     

     

    Is Mr. M. Goodwin right? Are his statements 'politically correct?' Or do we just have to wait it out and see how things unfold?

     

     

     

    I hope you enjoyed the read!

     

     

     

    Regards,
