“I’ll get you my pretty….and your little dog too!” The recklessness of despair, or just good old fashioned cagey politics? There we were, minding our own business and poof…miracles rained down from heaven. Debuting in the today’s health care brouhaha, our very own First Lady, hallelujah!! Oh wait…this isn’t her first go at health care reform, sorry no debut for her…. oh, and no hallelujahs either.
Now, it isn’t my intent to compare our First Lady to the wicked witch of the east….yeah okay…..it really is, but, it seems in August of 2008, as then vice president of some prestigious Chicago hospital, she was the provocative creator, or at least participated in the creation, of a nifty program called the Urban Health Initiative. Mrs. Obama, leading her gang of ‘counselors’, in collaboration with the venal administration of that well heeled Chicago hospital, were largely responsible for redirecting or ‘dumping’ less profitable, lower income patients to area community hospitals, saving space for those more affulent patients, oddly, requiring more profitable procedures. And, oh my gawd… now she wants to help us!!
Well, I don’t know about you, but with that kind of avaricious approach to the woeful denizens of the city she served personally, she doesn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy. They (the democrats) may claim she has only the purest of motives, her deepest concern for the well being of all America’s little people….um…ok, and bears don’t shit in the woods either.
I must look stupid. But in what, with that covetous mob of mercenaries and charlatans in this administration, would they ask us to have confidence? Don’t be beguiled by the pomposity of this rabble. We have been witness to their sordid methods and tawdry politics many times past….using the First Lady is just another seamy tale of the aberrant political drama we have all come to know and love.
My life might belong to me. It might belong to God. But I’ll be damned if it belongs to the government.
