Back to the Campaign Trail
-
If there is one thing that Barack Obama can do really well it is campaign. I really hoped that this guy would make just as good a president as he was a candidate, but sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case. But that’s another story. Now that he is in the White House, he is going to use his excellent campaign techniques to get legislation passed. In this case, it would be government-run healthcare. Yep. He is going to use his campaign slogan of “yes we can” to con the government-educated Americans into believing that government healthcare is exactly what they need in their lives.
He said that those “here in Washington who’ve grown accustomed to sky-is-falling prognoses and the certainties that we cannot get this done, I have to repeat and revive an old saying we had from the campaign: ‘Yes, we can.’”
- “Yes we can” make the dumb masses react positively to another focus-group based sloganeering campaign.
- “Yes we can” take control of another 20% of the American economy.
- “Yes we can” gain even more control over you by controlling your access to health care.
- “Yes we can” ration health care.
- “Yes we can” make the necessary excuses when this whole thing turns into dog poop. We’ll blame what’s left of the private sector.
- “Yes we can” stifle innovation in health care for the rest of time.
- “Yes we can” create long waiting lines for seeing a specialist.
- “Yes we can” make it seem as if there are only two MRI units in the entire nation
- “Yes we can” make the Canadians feel better knowing that misery loves company
- “Yes we can” successfully ignore the private sector’s role in health care.
- “Yes we can” help to bury the people who die because their access to health care was limited due to their age.
- “Yes we can” run your health care like we’ve run Social Security and Medicaid.
- “Yes we can” fool most of the people in this country…most of the time.
Gag me. The only thing that is missing is the “change we can believe in” banner underneath. I’m sure that one is coming. After all, “change” is such a hot buzz word with voters.
