I strongly support President Obama

224. GREAT post, Californeeway!

The drummer in my kid's band is a childhood cancer survivor. His parents are able to keep him on their insurance for another three years while he gets on his feet, and it made a HUGE difference to them. And even while they're pretty conservative about a lot of things, they are GREATLY appreciative of this.

Count me as an Obama supporter. Yes he's not perfect. Who here is? Look what he's up against. And TRUE, the ACA is far from perfect as well. BUT AT LEAST IT'S SOMETHING!!! It's a START!!! Hell, I wanted single-payer and then the public option. I got this instead. But this is helping people, which was the whole idea in the beginning.

I'd love to go all out for 100% purity. I'd love to have it all MY way. That's not possible, especially with the obstruction seemingly EVERYWHERE. But just imagine where we'd be if we had another republi-CON in the White House. We'd have NOTHING. ACIDIC's drummer's parents would have NOTHING. You would have NOTHING as far as coverage for your daughter - and for yourself. As a whole, we women would have NO FURTHER JURISDICTION over OUR bodies. We'd be boots-on-the-ground in Syria already. We'd have Pirates on Parade throughout the Cabinet. We'd have Yosemite and Yellowstone paved over and lined with McDonalds and Walmarts - with the fracking people and drillers and strip miners and clear-cutters unrestrained and running amok through there already. We'd have two more asshole knuckle-draggers on the Supreme Court instead of Sotomayor and Kagan, and I'd be willing to bet that they'd both be Anglo males. And for Latinos? It'd be a non-stop wall-to-wall walls and government-approved "Fuck 'em's." We'd be Somalia in some many words. And more.

(Sorry - maybe I'm just getting cantankerous because I've got the Zimmerman trial on the TV over there and that damn Don West dude is just making me wanna throw something at the TV. "You disagree every time I make a ruling." DAMN!!! Glad I'm not that judge having to put up with that! Bad enough being a viewer...)
