The Deep Insight

Its been awhile since I posted, sorry for the spotty post lately but I felt the need to speak out on this issue. Lets recap, last week President Obama gave a speech to both house of congress about his “plan” for health-care. It sounded like the same old talking points to me but thats besides the point.  I want to touch on what happened during the speech and the media frenzy after the event occurred.  Did any of you watch the speech?  I watched parts of President Obama speech, which I thought was nothing more than a typical Obama speech with high flying rhetoric and not much detail.   I wasn’t all that interested in the speech until I heard Reprsentative  (R)  Joe Wilson call President Obama out on his own healthcare plan.  I don’t care who you are, you got to be pretty ballsy to call out the President on national TV!! I was stunned that someone had the guts to call him out.  I would like to applaud Mr. Wilson for calling it how he saw it.

Sure it wasn’t the best place to make such a statement but I think it is the job of the congress to keep the executive office in check and question their policies.  I think we need more of this in our congress to be honest.  Check out the House of Commons in the UK, they are much harsher on their heads of state than what Joe Wilson did!! I think the Democrats in Washington need to toughen up.  They are the party in power of both houses and the Presidency, they should expect to be taunted, and grilled by the opposition.  If you can’t handle the heat get out of the kitchen!! Learn to take criticism!

 I am amazed how the media has turned this into a race issue.  The only ones making this case is the mainstream media who are very sympathetic to the Obama cause. i.e MSNBC  How is calling out the President on his healthcare plan make him a racist?  If you look at the bill it would allow illegal immigrants to get healthcare benefits.  Joe Wilson was telling the truth and President Obama was the one that was omitting the truth.  I wish the media would stop using the race card every-time someone opposes President Obama.  If someone was called a racist every-time you disagreed with the man, you could never question anything he.  This is not how a democracy should work!  Dissent is a vital part of our democracy and every voice needs to be heard no matter what.  The President isn’t making this a race issue, so I think the mainstream media should stop too… ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
