Obama is a comedian... right?

With public support waning, President Obama is at a crossroads on health care reform: Does he attempt to breathe life into Congress' efforts or do something more drastic -- offer his own solution?

I thought this was funny! At least Fox News pointed out the fact that there is NO OBAMA health care plan! There is only one plan, it's in congress right now. The bill that the majority of Americans dislike.

Remember the bill is all that matters. Obama is going on about things that are not mentioned in the real health care bill. Obama is trying to separate himself from the legislation that most Americans don't want, the legislation Obama owns.

Let people know; congress doesn't vote on what Obama says, congress votes on the content of the bill.

For Obama's next comedy routine he has to get himself as far away from the health care bill as possible. This is brought to light by the fact that Obama has been out of the news for the past week. There are only two reasons for a sitting president to not take advantage of the bully pulpit when the congress is at recess. Those reasons being:

1. Obama wants to distance himself from the legislation. He was pushing the health care bill for a month straight, and getting nowhere. Perhaps he doesn't want to go down in a blaze of -- well you couldn't call it Glory could you?

2. The Democrats have finally realized that the more Obama is in the news, the more the American people dislike him, or at least the legislation he is pushing.

Which of these two possibilities could it be? I think that Obama's ego is going to answer that question for us...

I think that Obama can get away with distancing himself from the bill. This cartoon is a perfect example of how Obama can get away with distancing himself from the current health care legislation. The cartoon was touted by many as racist. This acted, at least for me, as a trial balloon to see how many Americans actually understand how the U.S. government works on a basic level. The fact that the cartoon was an issue for so long is a testament to how many people have no idea what is happening within government, at any level.

The only way that someone could see this cartoon as racist is if they thought that bills originated from the President of The United States, not Congress. Anyone who votes should at least know where bills originate from. PBS once aired the cartoon series "School House Rock", even it explains the process! Many of you might remember this.

Gross misunderstanding of government on the part of the American public is the most useful tool in the shed; when it comes to slowly removing that public's freedoms. - Jeff Michaels

Note: Congress needs "0" votes from Republicans to pass the health care bill. The Democrats have a majority in both houses and could pass the bill without any Republican votes! You might ask yourself; why the Democrats keep claiming there is a need for some kind of "bipartisan agreement" in order to pass the bill? With the majority in both houses, that could only mean one thing; the Democrats can't find the numbers within their own party to pass their health care reform bill!
