Wake up, Obama

I am so disappointed and disheartened by the man I voted for. He is worse than his predesessor bacause he has not done what he has promised he would do. He is intelligent but he is not street smart. He has not yet learned that no matter what he does, no Republican is going to vote for anything he wants. A three year old child would have gotten that message by now. If he doesn't show some backbone and start using the power he has, he will not have another term and he might not even finish this term.
Obama is a great speaker but he is obviously not a doer. He doesn't know how to turn his words into acts. It is not his fault that the Supreme Court is destroying our Constitution but it is his fault that he is idly standing by and letting them do it.

Are the people of Mass. so stupid that they would elect a man who is the antithesis of Ted Kennedy and refutes everything Kennedy stood for? They are typical of the people who say, I've got mine so screw the rest of you.
Mass. has one of the best health care systems in the US.
I just guess they want a good looking Senator, who allows half-naked pictures of himself to be published in magazines.
But maybe Obama has brought this on himself for not helping Coakley sooner. Maybe this will wake him up so he can start using the cojones he was born with. He has got to realize that the Repubs will never give him one vote. Forget about bi-partianship. It doesn't exist in this Congress.

health care reform

It seems to me that the only people who are against health care reform are the people who already have good health insurance. "I've got mine, so screw you !" just like our esteemed senator Murky.

Medicare Part D medications

To the people who obviously do not understand what the Medicare Part D "donut hole" (gap in services) is, I would like to explain. When you and the insurance company you signed up with have together paid $2,800 in the cost of your medications, then the insurance company drops out and you, alone have to pay the full cost of your medications.

You still have to pay the monthly premium you agreed to, but the insurance company just sits back and laughs. That is the "donut hole" and you are in it until you have paid another $3800 for your medications only.

If you get to that point, the federal government will then pay 95% of the cost of your medications and you will only have to pay 5%. However, this only continues until December 31st, when you start all over again.

If you think this is fair, good luck.
