Obama as Hitler

There I was in the grocery store in a mid size town in Missouri having a conversation with an elderly woman who then--out of nowhere--asked me about Obama. She said with a straight face: "Obama is Hitler."

Huh? I thought. Hitler?

Hitler exterminated mentally ill individuals. Obama has fought hard for their rights.

Hitler wiped out six million Jews. Obama is trying to make Israel safe and he had a Jewish individual on his personal staff.

Hitler killed Gypsies. When France tried to forcefully remove the Gypsy population, Obama protested. (Full disclosure: I do not know how this story ended.)

Hitler exterminated gay people. Obama is fighting as hard as he can for their rights.

Hitler?

No way.

Here we have a president who is trying as hard as he can and yet our nation is so selfish, they continually put their individual problems ahead of everything else.

Healthcare, for example.

She actually believes--because she reads a lot--that Obama'a healthcare plan is not going to allow certain individual to live if their sickness gets worse.

I do not know how this keeps coming up. There are no death clauses in the bill. There is only assistance for those who do not have insurance.

Madam, if an uninsured person gets into an accident--injures himself painting by falling off a ladder, for example--who do you think is going to pay his bill? The hospital by law has to treat him. He can't afford the hospital bill; he has no insurance and, yes, what you said about that is correct--he does have free choice, but I do not believe anyone picked poverty--so his choice has become a place to live, food to eat, electricty and heat for the winter. He can't afford health insurance because he gets paid too little. Now he has a few options--1.) bankruptcy (and you do know the leading cause of bankruptcy is caused by health issues) or 2.) the state will pay it--and that means us--the taxpayers.

Get over it.

Obama may have made mistakes but no one can solve the problems he inherited in tweo years and yet he is solving them.

I support him because he is the hardest working presdident I can recall--and I have lived through years of golf playing, vactationing and napping presidents.

I belong to the United States of America where people are not self centered and not egocentric, a place where selfless acts are rewarded and a place where everyone can be healthy, educated and strong.

WHY I CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT

This is why I continue to support President Obama:

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY--Why Christianiity is a failing religion

On the syndicated radio show, FOCUS ON THE FAMILY, I heard the news reporter say: "After the Democratic Party got spanked during the recent election, it now seeks revenge." Then he said they will OK abortions on military bases (a woman's right between her and her God), repeal the don't tell rule (remember: the best forces in all of our wars were made from individuals we treated very badly. The Buffalo Soldiers, for example, were all African-American) and the tax on rich people (which should be repealed).

Why do we tax rich people differently from everyone else?

I don't know and I don't care, but I do feel very strongly that everyone should carry their own load--and pay the taxes they owe. We don't need tax breaks for rich people.

Right Wing Christianity is failing because it has become paranoid and selfish. Why care about the poor--as Jesus did? That's not important. What is important is to care about the rich and how to become rich so we can care about more rich people--and give them welfare in the name of grants and tax breaks, etc., etc., etc.

Take the health care problem. That's not a problem for rich people. It's a problem for everyone else, yet there we are yelling about how unfair it is.

Unfair?

How can anything that protects our people and makes us healthier--thus stronger--be unfair? Only selfish people would not want everyone to have a right to be healthy.

I have no problem paying higher taxes to help everyone become healthier. A healthier America. Now that's a good idea.

Yes, I said it.

Right now the Christain right as pictured on FOCUS ON THE FAMILY is selfish and does not care to make our nation stronger--they only wish--in my opinion--to make the rich richer.

No. This is not what Jesus wanted. Did ne not say the meek will inherit the earth? Did he not fight for the rights of the poor? Did he not demand justice for the downtrodden?

Enough said.

Patience?

Over a decade to get out of Viet Nam.

World War 11--We fought for more than four years.

The latest Iraqi conflict--Are we mnot nearing record duration?

The Great Depression went on for over a decade.

We have to give our leadership a chance. The problem here is one word: selfishness.

We are selfish. We want cheap oil, cheap food, cheap goods--and we don't care about our impact on the rest of the world. We cannot stand in line without complaining--and there may only be two people ahead of us. And we do not want to offer a helping hand to the poor among us--the poor faraway, no problem--but nearby--how disgusting that our tax dollars help.

This is a sad state of affairs.

We lack patience because we are selfish--and as selfish individuals, we want an immedioate fix when an immediate fix doesn't always happen.

Yes, our nation has problems, but lacking patience and acting as selfish individuals--this is not going to make all of our problems go away.
