no this isnt stuff OBAMA put in,at least not all of it, its stuff representatives of CONGRESS put in, and members of obamas party. Do you seriously believe that he, or even his party and him alone, could pass a bill without everyone else who has a say taking time to add what they want to it? People who say "i will not support this bill unless <insert some other shit here> is also in it." It is so long because it was so controversial that so many people were able to pull weight and fill it with things unrelated to the health care bill itself. Thats what i meant and what i said
Almost ALL politicians want power. I am not saying that obama is an all around good guy. I am just refuting the things people say which really are baseless. If you want to argue that he is a bad person, do it with arguments that are concrete, real, and are backed by proof. Gut feelings about politicians are ok, and expected, BUT MARKET THEM AS GUT FEELINGS. Again, i dont know shit about obama specifically, but i do know that you cannot blame americas problems on one man. Even if he wanted to, he could not be responsible for everything going on in america today. There are weasels all through the government, and i assure you that obama has to deal with them MUCH more often than ANY of you.
When it comes down to it, the people of america are responsible for what happens in america. People spend way to much time letting bad things happen and then pointing fingers at whoever they can to take the responsibility off themselves. Now of course there are many things an individual does not have control over, but to sit back and make spend your time making sure you cant be blamed for any of the problems if not the right course of action. I dislike arguing about politics because in the end, we are arguing about things that we do not know enough about or put enough time into. Time we spend arguing should be spent getting things done. It is not impossible to take action in your local or even national government, you just need to spend time doing it. If you feel that you don't have enough time to do this, live your life, go to work, and relax as well, then don't whine. Almost everyone in american has the ability to take part.
