Reply #22: Thats where the problem is

you see, all this fuss is over nothing, the President has not made a public
statement regarding the health care, what he has said though is he favors PO
and would like to see it included, that statement has been seen as an opportunity
by the lobbyist and their enablers to continue attacking the health care
reform. You can fault the White House for not aggressively defending the statement,
knowing how politicians play politics I could also see it as the White House
playing politics too.

Now, the anger that you speak of from the "so called" progressives are all
generating from speculation and hearsay from the media, whom are proclaiming
that some anonymous White House aid or official said Obama wants to kill our
granny, that does not put me in a position to throw the kitchen sink at him,
what it does is motivate me to campaign for a result that will benefits our
interest.

You do have a point, which is to call the White House to express our disappointment,
not anger but disappointment on a decision the White House has made,
which in this case there has not been any yet. Until there is an official statement
from the White House as to their position on health care I will conserve my anger
if any, instead I will generate that anger toward the Republicans who have been in
power for the last eight years and I might add did nothing about reforming health
care but has now decided they have all the answers to health care and we should do
nothing.

Finally, I have learned long time ago to read between the lines when it comes to politics
because politicians are thought to not speak clearly even when they have the facts in
front of them. What we are seeing is politics being played and unfortunately most of us
tends to get caught up with the mixed messages that they (politicians) throws out at us.

Our anger in my opinion should not be thrown at the President, it should be channeled
toward congress and the senate where you have these lackadaisical Congressmen and women
who sees this as an excuse to continue business as usual which in turn provides ammunition
for the lobbyist and special interest organization to continue their dirty deeds.
