Watching some of the HealthCare Summit, I was left wondering on what planet the constituents live about whom the Republicans are speaking and think they are representing. They are not the 98% of the working and unemployed Americans making barely trying to survive with their families. Since the Republicans have effectively cut out a middle class, they need to watch themselves on the replays....they will be surprised at how ludicrous they seem. As far as I can see, they ought to be giving some of their salary back...they certainly aren't earning it. They haven't a clue about what people living of $40,000 with a family are doing. If you want to see what the House and Senate earn, click here.
It was a pleasure to see Obama in action. When John McCain talked about how unfair it was that Florida was getting such an unequal handout share, he clearly expected a defense. Instead, Obama just smiled at him and said, "You have a good point there." McCain looked ready to go on with more on his point, blinked, then looked like a deflated balloon.
James Clyburn, Dem. Senator from S. Carolina, was a guest on the Daily Show. When Stewart asked if people were cordial when the cameras weren't on, he described that everyone was polite and collegial throughout the day and that Obama talked considerably with Republicans on breaks. It just didn't look like it on the evening news and the talk shows. How nice to have a senator confirm the distortions the media presents.
Let's hope it is really clear that the Republicans just want to sabotage the Bill and let's get on with 'full steam ahead' on it without them.
