President Obama will not put health care on the back burner even though the majority of states are fighting back with state constitutional amendments to ban health insurance mandates. Surprisingly the biggest supporters of the free market health care system in the US, seem to be the Canadian officials.
February 03, 2010 The Courthouse News reported, "President Obama encouraged Democrats on Wednesday to finish the job on health care, and chastised Republicans for gumming up the legislative system. We said we were gonna change it, he said. Well here we are, with a chance to change it."
Speaker Pelosi vowed she would pass Obamacare regardless of the obstacles "We will go through the gate. If the gate is closed, we will go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we will pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, we will parachute in. But we are going to get health care reform passed..."
The Huffington Post reported, "Schwarzenegger told Meet the Press host David Gregory this was tantamount to saying I'm holding out my vote, unless I get some extra kind of benefits here. The governor went on: I mean if you do that in Sacramento, you know, you'll be sued. It is illegal to do that, to buy votes,” referring to government mandated health care.
The Wichita Eagle reported, "Although President Obama's push for a health care overhaul has stalled, conservative lawmakers in more than two-thirds of the states — including Kansas — are forging ahead with constitutional amendments to ban government health insurance mandates. The proposals would assert a state-based right for people to pay medical bills from their own pocketbooks and prohibit penalties against those who refuse to carry health insurance."
The Washington Post reported that Danny Williams, "ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland -- The premier of Canada's east coast province is undergoing heart surgery in the United States this week because the treatment he is seeking was not available in his home province." The news director of CTV Ottawa referring to Premier Danny Williams, "If he stayed, he'd have to wait, he'd be under tremendous pressure to continue to do the job that he's doing. He'd also be under tremendous pressure if he jumped the line, which he obviously couldn't do." Province's deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale said, ''Ultimately we have to be the gatekeepers of our own health.''
President Obama has made it clear he has not given up the health care fight and along with Speaker Pelosi; it will not be over until they ram Obamacare down our throats. Although the Democratic armada is starting to sink, Harry Reid is becoming critical of the Presidents statements on Las Vegas, "When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college." Reid fired back, "Las Vegas is suffering through one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, and we cannot afford for the President to bring us down any further."
In the past year since Obama became President he has demonized the banks, Wall Street, the aircraft and tourism industries just to name a few. The unemployment rate is at ten percent. The only two cards he has in his deck are the class warfare and the Bush did it card.
Senator Reid, the President is not just bringing down Las Vegas he has brought down the entire country. Vegas was not the first casualty of the Obama administration. It started with the aircraft industry when President Obama demonized the auto executives for flying to Washington in their corporate jets. The President’s remarks caused companies across America to cancel their orders for private jets thus ten thousand workers in Wichita are jobless and you, sir were in on it.
Senator Reid on behalf of the 10,000 frustrated laid off aircraft workers in Wichita, Kansas I want to welcome you to Obamaland. Land of the destitute and home of the impoverished.

The Democratic Strategy
In the wake of President Obama’s unprecedented, attack on the Supreme Court ruling on campaign financing during the State of the Union address, the far left is screaming foul while the far right is touting it as reaffirmation of the Constitution and free speech. The democratic strategy is and has always been to demonize or destroy anyone or thing that obstructs their agenda.
When President Obama criticized the Supreme Court by saying, "Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said. "Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong." (1)@Politico reported, that Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words "not true."
The New York Times reported, "The ruling represented a sharp doctrinal shift, and it will have major political and practical consequences. Specialists in campaign finance law said they expected the decision to reshape the way elections were conducted."
Business Week reported on the Supreme Court’s decision, “Corporate campaign-spending restrictions is a disaster." said Andy Stern president of SEIU. He went on to say, “This is a moral disaster, it is a policy disaster and it is a practical disaster. This is going to bring an onslaught, if nothing changes, of an unlimited corporatization of our economy.”
The Huffington Post reported, "Depending on the details, such a ruling could lay the groundwork for wealthy interests to press their rights further in future cases and argue they should be able to give money directly to presidential and congressional campaigns."
Frum Forum reported, "Franklin Roosevelt at the 1938 State of the Union address blasted the Supreme Court on its ruling on the steel seizure case saying, The judicial branch also is asked by the people to do its part in making democracy successful. The process of our democracy must not be imperiled by the denial of essential powers of free government."
David Frum wrote, "The Supreme Court delivered a stinging rejection to the Truman administration in the steel seizure case of 1952. Truman had nothing to say about it in his 1953 SOTU. It looks like here’s another first for Obama: the first president to criticize a specific court decision in a State of the Union address – and certainly to do so in terms that, if not outright untruthful, were certainly misleading."
Rush Limbaugh said, “It’s nothing short of revolutionary. Here's how I add up the possible consequences: It adds to Republican chances of pickups in red states with small, cheap media markets. It turns the cottage industry of campaign consulting into a Hollywood-lucrative major media sector. It reduces candidates and political parties to mere appendages in their own campaigns."
With the far left at odds with the far right over Supreme Court ruling, the facts are that the left fear that big corporations will outspend the unions and the special interest groups. The far right is praising it as a victory since the big corporations can put the country back on track.
The latest Polls show the Tea Party is viewed more favorable than either the Democratic or the Republican Parties. If the left gets their way and the ruling is over turned, it will not matter. SEIU found out in Massachusetts when they threw away $900,000 on the Coakley campaign. If the Supreme Court ruling stands who will police the cooperate bureaucrats on Capitol Hill and keep them in line? The Tea Party of course.
We are winning the war but the evolution of the Tea Party is just beginning. Our grassroots organization can become the most powerful Lobbyist group Washington has ever seen but unlike the others, our power will be used for the good of the country and not self-serving organizations catering to a small segment of the population.
