"The house of representatives ... can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny."
Federalist No. 57, February 19, 1788

If only the members of the 'elitist group' of Congressional Representatives would pay heed to the above quote....we'd not be having the discussion nor the dispute about nationalized health care. I learned a long, long time ago to 'remember from where I came', to not have anyone who worked under me, do something I hadn't done or wouldn't be willing to do myself. If this pile of buffalo chips health care program is so good, why aren't the legislators and obama snapping it up for themselves? You guessed it....it sucks! We've heard almost 24/7 about the 47 million 'Americans' who aren't covered by health insurance; let's examine that falsehood preached by obama...kick back, pop a top, pour another coffee or have an iced tea and read this little beauty:
*************************************************
1. Obama's '47 Million Uninsured' Claim Is False:
President Barack Obama claimed during his Wednesday (22 July '09) night press conference that there are 47 million Americans without health insurance.
A simple check with the U.S. Census Bureau would have told him otherwise.
Obama said: "This is not just about the 47 million Americans who have no health insurance."
That assertion conflicts with data in the Census Bureau report "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2007." The report was issued in August 2008 and contains the most up-to-date official data on the number of uninsured in the U.S.
The report discloses that there were 45.65 million people in the U.S. who did not have health insurance in 2007.
However, it also reveals that there were 9.73 million foreigners — foreign-born non-citizens who were in the country in 2007 — included in that number. So the number of uninsured Americans was actually 35.92 million.
And of those, "there were also 9.1 million people making more than $75,000 per year who did not choose to purchase health insurance," CNSNews stated in a report based on the Census Bureau data.
That brings the number of Americans who lack health insurance presumably for financial reasons down less than 27 million.
The Census Bureau report also shows that the number of people without insurance actually went down in 2007 compared to the previous year — from 47 million to 45.65 million — while the number with insurance rose from 249.8 million to 253.4 million.
The next Census Bureau report disclosing health insurance data, with 2008 numbers, is scheduled to be released in August, and could figure in the health care reform debate.

Now I raise this question....of this less than 27 million people, how many really can't get coverage and how many are illegal aliens (sue me, I refuse to be politically correct....they aren't here legally so they are illegal), who are covered by Medicaid? What a thought....illegals receiving medicaid but being touted by the obama administration as 'un-insured'....yes Virginia, only in America! Where the legislators, even the president, do not READ the legislation before signing it into law. When you or I go to a bank or other lending institution for a home or car loan, the contract gets read....when was the last time you, signed a contract for something without knowing what was in it and how much it would cost or obligate you to? That's the point exactly....never! TARP money has been mis-used, stimulus money and a budget that is so extremely out of control and non-functional are this administration's claim to fame.
Hey obama, tell your buddy gates that the next time it appears his home might be being broken in to...to call you instead of the police....after all, you are the 'great one', who would dare go against your wishes or not abide to your will; all the burglars in the world, quake at the mere mention of your name.
