President Obama's Healthcare Speech to a joint session to Congress

President Obama may have not been as forcible as I would have liked demanding the public option be the center piece of the proposed legislation. But I was impressed when he pointed out the outright lies that were put forward politicians on the right (Sarah Palin ?) such as coverage for illegal aliens and public funding of abortions are just that Lies. It seemed when he said “That No One should go Broke because they get Sick” drew applause from both sides of the isle. I really liked when he said “If you come to me with serious proposals I will listen my door is always open” He quoting the late Senator Ted Kennedy in a letter delivered after his death to the White House saying that Healthcare is a Moral Principal I agree complete. He named Republican Senators that worked with Senator Kennedy on Legislation that created Patients Bill of Rights and Children’s Health Coverage. I myself personally have know people that feel that “If you do not have or your spouse have a job that included Healthcare coverage then you do not deserve Healthcare coverage” Is this a position that a country as wealthy and as powerful as the Untied States could seriously take. To throw fellow citizens to the wayside. And when you question those that take these positions “What about people that loss there healthcare because they loss there jobs?” They have no legitimate answer other than to wisecrack things like “Well get another job” I guess that could work if there were jobs out there is not the unemployment rate something like 9.9 %. When President Obama stated the bill “Will not cover those in the country illegally” The IDIOT that yelled “It‘s a Lie” has been identified as South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) was a Douche bag . Well the President has challenged congress particularly Republicans to get this done let’s see what happens.
