Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 40: “The Patients Really are Running the Asylum”

“With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same

With all of my running and all of my cunning If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane

If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane If we weren't all crazy we would go insane “

Jimmy Buffett – “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes”

There seems to be some seriously crazy ass folks currently running this Country. This handful of leftwing Socialist extremist all appear to be inflicted with a Messiah and/or God complex or some other truly dangerous psychological malady.

With a grandiose sense of self importance and arrogance, thinking they are just right smarter than everyone else and all the experts in their respective fields, this bunch of inexperienced lunatics are already running Wall Street; the US Auto industry; the domestic Energy industry; and now have their delusionary hearts set on a hostile takeover of 1/6 of the domestic economy, the US Healthcare System.

Starting with our MD/Healer/ Physician/Head Nurse/Med Tech/Hospital Administrator/Orderly/Candy Striper/Brain Surgeon/Bedpan Cleaner/Radiologist/Never Spent a Single Minute of his Life Working in the Healthcare Industry-in-Chief, our 44th President Barack Husain Obama, along with the politicians and White House staffers writing the so called Healthcare Reform (Socialized Medicine) legislation all of whom don’t know jack about delivering or financing Healthcare Services.

-

A quick check of the President’s bio confirms his “work” experience in the healthcare industry:

1. ________________
2. ________________
3. ________________

Impressive, a big fat goose egg; zero; nada; zilch; nothing/no thing. Of course the President in actuality doesn’t have any real business or management experience, Healthcare or otherwise. He has never met a payroll, negotiated a line of credit, purchased insurance for employees or competed in a free market economy.

To be fair, he was born in a hospital; frequently drives by one; he does watch “Grey’s Anatomy” on Thursday nights; and Michelle did have that cushy part time position as Community Outreach Director at the University of Chicago making $300 grand while working only 20 hours a week. We should all sleep like fat babies at night comforted from the knowledge that such a seasoned and experienced individual is not only running the Government but also a big chunk of our private sector economy.

Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff and Political Hatchet man; Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House; and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are the other three seasoned “Healthcare professionals” merging together a final bill. A review of their Healthcare credentials reveals the following:

· Rahm Emanuel – Chicago political hack; Clinton flunky; Investment Banker; Board Member of the corrupt and now financially defunct Freddie Mac; Congressman/Democratic leadership.
Healthcare Experience – Father and brother both Docs; Watches “Greys Anatomy” with First Family on Thursday nights
· Nancy Pelosi – Mother of 5 little Socialist; San Francisco political hack; Married money; Congresswoman/Democratic leadership.
Healthcare Experience – Has 3 Plastic Surgeons on call 24/7; Spends summer vacations in exclusive Swiss Psychiatric Hospital receiving therapy for her chronic “I’m a hopeless airhead, radical, leftwing, liberal, Socialist/Marxist, head case” Syndrome; She loved the movie “Coma”
· Harry Reid – Nevada political hack; Congressman; Senator/Democratic leadership; seemingly has never earned a dime in the private sector.
Healthcare Experience: Played Doctor once when12 with girl next door; Received millions from malpractice trial lawyers lobby; Addicted to old MASH reruns.

Taking all this into consideration raises some interesting questions:

1. Have we completely lost our collective minds allowing four individuals, with absolutely zero experience in the healthcare industry, to write a bill that basically transforms our current free market Health system into Socialized Medicine, resulting in rationing, increased cost and a lower quality of care?
2. Isn’t it crazy to turn the best Healthcare System in the world upside down and inside out when 85% of us love it and the other 15% can be taken care of without spending trillions and a Government takeover?
3. Do we need to stop the madness, throw this Bill out, consult the experts and fix what needs fixen and keep Uncle Sammy’s grubby little hands off of our Healthcare?

The answers and feel free to shout em out loud openly and without shame:

1. YES!
2. HELL YES!!!
3. HELL BARACK HUISAN OBAMA IS A POINTY HEADED SOCIALIST RADICAL LEFTWING MARXIST YES!!!!!

Another question that begs answering is will our Bonehead-in-Chief and his liberal comrades in Congress ever learn that it is contrary to the Laws of Nature and Physics for big Government to run any large Socialist entitlement program, actually with the exception of the Military it’s probably fair to include any large entity in this category, in an efficient, productive and fiscally responsible fashion? Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. According to ole Al the President and his liberal elitist fellow Democrats must all be stark raving mad.

With Healthcare Reform/Socialized Medicine being their most recent departure from sanity there are a mess of other examples that support Al’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” diagnosis including:

· Social Security – Established during the Great Depression as a financial safety net. Current status: Bloated, broke and insolvent
· Medicaid and Medicare – Passed into law in the 1960’s as part of LBJ’s Great Society to provide healthcare for the elderly and poor. Current status: Riddled with fraud and corruption, bloated, broke and insolvent.
· Welfare/War on Poverty – Also part of LBJ’s Great Society, trillions expended, victim class created. Current status: Lost the War.
· The U.S. Postal Service - Established in 1775, Current status: Even with no competition on daily mail delivery, bloated, broke and insolvent.
· Fannie Mae established in 1938 and Freddie Mac in 1970 have both gone belly up because of experiments in social engineering advocating the redistribution of wealth. Current status: Riddled with fraud and corruption, bloated, broke and insolvent.

Adding Government run Healthcare/Socialized Medicine to this list confirms the “Change We Can Believe In” gang are all crazier than an outhouse rat.

Are the patients really running the asylum? If Einstein’s definition of insanity holds water it would unfortunately seem to be an accurate assessment of our current political predicament.

Bless their psychotic hearts, hopefully we can keep these poor demented souls away from matches, sharp objects and from implementing major Socialist program initiatives doomed for failure for the next three years. Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise we will all survive this insanity until then, at which time, Baracky, Rhamy. Nancy and Harry can all take well deserved extended “vacations” at the Democrat Oaks Psychiatric Hospital for the Seriously Disturbed and Crazy Ass People.
