THE DOCTOR IS IN

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how's the world treating you?
The health plan is now in the crapper.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the public option is not mandatory.After meeting with President Obama the Democrats now have a new song to sing. They are all singing from the same page. This is the lyrics: "The health plan is about framework and getting only some small changes now will let Congress get more and improve the plan years from now". They say-" we can have a good health plan by building on the foundation".Even Senator Ron Wyden,(D) from Oregon went on the Rachel Maddow show and spouted the exact same gobbly-gook tune. All Obama wants now is to protect his chances of reelection and he will do anything to achieve that goal.
First the Dems took a a single pay plan off of the table from the git-go, out of the gate. Then President Obama chose not to get behind the plan but instead decided to "let Congress handle it" and he said he wanted to get Republicans on board even thought he and all of the Democrats and the general public knew that the Republicans clearly refused to get behind any plan or agenda the President put forward. The President chose not to get involved and he failed to be strong. It appears this President, through all of his talk,is a fence sitter.
The President and his White House aides and the Democrats sold us a bill of goods. They asked us to put all of the Democrats in office and if we did give them the 60 people they needed there would be no stopping change. What a bag full of garbage they dumped on our doorstep. They lied to us.
President Obama tells his Democrats that all he wants is some kind of a health bill. He just wants some anemic "I don't care what" bill passed.The entire health care plan is on life-support but now the Dems say something is better than nothing. I disagree! This entire health plan should be a deep-six.
As it stands now the only ones that will benefit from any plan that the Democrats offer is the insurance companies . They will get millions of customers and those customers will be forced to buy insurance or be fined. The President, his White House staff and the Democrats are a bunch car salesmen. "Do I have a deal for you"---
The Dems promised to stick together to get things done, they promised changes and to get laws and legislation passed for the greater good of America. But what do they do? They fight among themselves and the President doesn't have enough grit to tell the Senators who left the reservation that they should vote his agenda or else.
Currently there are nine or ten Democratic Senators, and a number of Republicans both men and women, that can only be described as prostitutes. They take tens of thousands of dollars, if not millions from the insurance companies and they have the gall to appear on television and try to convince us that money has nothing to do with their vote. These sleazy prostitutes turn so many tricks for the insurance company and do the companies bidding that they all could work in a brothel in Nevada on their days off. Hell, all of these paid for Senators have an ongoing "Lewinsky" type relationship with the insurance companies. An example,--Senator Liebermann has a majority of insurance companies operating out of his state and his nose is so far up the butt of those companies a person would need a crow bar to disengage him from their butt.
Besides falling down on the job of providing a health plan with a government option or a medicare buy-in this Congress has us taxpayers in a money-pit and they have passed an approximate $1.1 trillion spending bill and want a debt ceiling of 14 trillion dollars to increase the size of government.
President Obama promised to veto any spending bill with earmarks in it. Again, a lie. The level of spending this White House and Congress is doing will bury any economic recovery - -but wait, in that spending bill these greedy money-grabbers hid a a raise in the bill of at least 2 percent, if not more for all "federal workers", who by the way are currently making between 30% and 50% more in wages that those in the private sector. And these idiots have the audacity to say senior citizens have to forgo their annual measly 1.7-2.7 COLA in 2010 and maybe 2011.
Also, if I were a betting man I'd wager that these same politicians that insure their raises will also give themselves their annual raise again in 2010. Remember, these politicians have a great clause in their employment contract with the people of the United States. They automatically get a super raise each and every year "unless they themselves vote" to reject it. Do ya think ?- And, that's my opinion.

ENOUGH! JOBLESS BENEFITS GO ON FOREVER
THE DOCTOR IS IN
_________________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
13 weeks, 26 weeks, now it's up to 99 weeks. When is the extensions on the unemployment insurance going to stop? I can see 13 weeks or even 26 weeks of unemployment benefits which has been the standard and norm for the past few decades, but 99 weeks? Come On!
What the government is doing is putting people on perpetual welfare. The government is basically paying people a salary for years so why should these unemployed people go back to work or even look for a job? The hand out to these people week after week, year after year, give them no incentive to work. Why should they go back to work? They see themselves as getting a free paycheck and receiving enough money to squeeze by on from week to week.
Since 1948 the government extended a persons unemployment benefits from 13 weeks to 26 weeks.That's reasonable and shows compassion. However, I believe after 26 or 27 weeks a person should have had ample time to find some sort of job,even in these hard times. If a person really wants to work there is some job out there they can do even if it is not similar to the job they had prior to being unemployed.
The administration and Congress has to get out of this mind set of continuing the jobless benefits. They have to come to terms and bite the bullet and say 26 weeks of unemployment benefits are enough for everyone.- And, that's my opinion.

REPUBLICANS ACCUSE OBAMA OF RAPE?
THE DOCTOR IS IN
_________________
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
In the past week members of the Republican Party and conservative talking heads on Fox news has been accusing President Obama of rape.The Republicans put together a set of talking points stating that Obama is raping the economy, raping the military, raping the country, raping the taxpayer,children's programs and basically raping every phase of government they can think of. The Republican zombies fanned out across the country into media outlets and spewed out the rape accusation against Obama and all of the conservative news people fueled the fire and made it a major topic of conversation. What a joke!
The Republican party appears to want to do anything to scuttle any program and/or idea the Obama administration puts forth.The party of "No" exists.
These same Republican politicians and television personalities that accuse President Obama of rape have their own "Lewinsky" type relationship with supposed leaders of the Republican party like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and others. People like Limbaugh and Beck tend to yell "fire in a theater" and promote fear and the Republican politicians march in lock step with these idiots and totally agree with their views as gospel and scream these views from any television camera they can squeeze in front of.-And, that's my opinion.

RECOVERY? NOT SO FAST!
THE DOCTOR IS IN
_________________
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Today the administration just announced that unemployment has risen again in 29 states. Folks, at the current time there are 16 million plus people out of work and unemployment is still rising.
All of that stimulus money that has been handed out has gone to some of the wrong areas. A good example is the money spent on the public employee's in city, county, state, and federal government positions for their job preservation.That squandering of funds doesn't help the private sector at all. We need private sector jobs so the economy can rebound. Giving the funds to the public sector for their raises, obscene retirement and pension benefits doesn't move the economy one bit. Many states are on the brink of bankruptcy because of these strong public employee unions demands on our tax money. However,our legislators keep dumping money and benefits into the public employee programs willy-nilly.
Other stimulus funds went to companies that said they added jobs but it was later found that those companies did not add jobs and some companies didn't even exist.
The administration also said it is giving stimulus money to manufacturing companies here in the United States so it can produce jobs. But, what the administration doesn't tell you is that once the jobs are created they will "outsource" those jobs to other countries. So, the companies get the money but average working stiff John and Jane Doe is still without a job. It's one big shell game.
The government is playing fast and loose with the figures on job creation. Numbers do lie and the government doesn't care as they do their fuzzy math.. The reality is that over 16 million people are actually out of work, living from hand to mouth and the fat cat politicians only concern is raising money for their coffers and being reelected . And, -that's my opinion.

BRITNEY SPEARS IS A JOKE
THE DOCTOR IS IN
________________
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how's the world treating you?
Britney Spears just performed in Australia. She and her promoters charged $200.00 for a ticket to see and hear this cartoon character allegedly sing. The majority of ticket holders that went to the concert were upset and I can't blame them. This "teeny bopper" wanna be did the "lip sync" thing again. People complained that they shouldn't have had to pay $200.00 for a ticket to only have her pretend singing.
Years ago Britney may have had a show that appealed to the "tweens" but this lady is not a teenager anymore and trying to market and sell herself like she is a teen idol is sad.
People shouldn't get paid for "lip sync" performances. Pretend singing just doesn't cut it. If any entertainer doesn't have the real talent to actually stand on the stage and sing live, who needs it. It's bad enough that in today's music world the technical mix jobs that can make a bad voice, or anyone sound good is out there and being used by no talent people.
The Australia concert goers could have bought an old CD of Britney and plugged it into an ipod to hear her and saved $200.00 and I suspect that even those CD's are pumped up with super mix sounds to make her sound like a singer.
I have always enjoyed and paid for live entertainment and great entertainers who have talent use their own voice rather than put everything together in a studio mix job and move their lips to a recording pretending they are actually performing.
I would suggest that when a concert or live performance is promoted the entertainment industry should be required to have full disclosure and indicate in any advertisement and indicate on the actual ticket when the artist will lip sync their show. Lip sync is a rip off. If the entertainer doesn't have the pipes, get out of the singing business.-And, that's my opinion

AFGHANISTAN-WE SUPPORT A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT
THE DOCTOR IS IN
________________
Hello America, and how's the world treating you?
Afghan leader President Hamid Karzai is once again ther leader of his country and he promises to stamp out corruption. Are you kidding me? Here is a man that is under a cloud himself for accepting bribes and turning his head when it comes to the rampant corruption in his country.
The United States clearly continues to make deals with the devil.It seems to be a pattern for the United States to ignore, corruption, crimes, and murder just to carry on a needless war to put money into fat cat politicians coffers.
Afghanistan has flourishing poppy fields producing drugs worth billions of dollars a year and the United States position is one that "the farmers and villagers have to make a living." Remember,when the Taliban was running Afghanistan well before our occupation they forbid their countrymen to use or produce the deadly drugs. But once we became an occupation force the Taliban now uses the obscene profits from the drugs to fight us.
To make things even worse President Karzai's brother Ahmed Wali Karzai is up to his neck in the illicit drug trade and the cherry topping on the sundae is that our CIA has been paying this corrupt drug Czar a salary worth tens of thousands of dollars, "our tax dollars" for over eight years.
Lets do some fuzzy math here: 2 plus 2 does come out 4.
President Karzai who is alleged to have taken bribes and is accused of being a corrupt politician "plus" his sleazy, corrupt drug trafficking brother: Equals= "corruption" above and beyond.
We, the USA, are blowing billions of dollars on Afghanistan, a country that has nothing to do with our national security. The Obama administrations only excuse for this unwarranted occupation is the same old George Bush excuse" we fight them there instead of here."
Right now we have been in Afghanistan longer that the Soviets and they had to leave the country after sacrificing thousands and thousands of young Soviet men and womens lives that was for naught. That invasion by the Soviets cost the Soviet Union not only precious lives and billions of dollars but brought it to it's knees and it's super power status crumbled. Now we are throwing men and women into the same meat grinder supporting a corrupt government that doesn't want us on their soil. How many more U.S. military lives will be pawns in this undeclared war and how may more billions of dollars will be pour into this money pit?
We have no reason to be in Afghanistan and should withdraw all of our military and civilian personnel out. All of those billions of dollars that we are currently spending for the occupation could and should be used to strengthen our own country and it's borders. We have to learn to stop occupying countries with the excuse that we want them to have a democracy. Many countries abide by their own culture and customs. They clearly do not was our interference.
And, that's my opinion.

NBC's BIG MISTAKE-MOVING LENO
THE DOCTOR IS IN
_________________
LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how's the world treating you?
NBC really fell down of the job when they moved Jay Leno from late night to prime- time. I would bet that Leno's ratings are falling faster than the NBC execs can say "Leno". But it's not Leno's fault. It's simple. People want to watch their regular prime-time shows and because of that Leno ratings are taking a hit.
Jay Leno was the best late night host on television since Johnny Carson. None of the other late night comedians could hold a candle to Leno's wit, delivery and just a great show.
Why didn't the nitwits at NBC realize that most television viewers want to watch their prime-time shows early in the evening and then, top off the evening with a late night show.
Late night show viewing is a regular routine for most people and for those viewers like myself that meant Jay Leno. Jay was made for a late night entertainment host. For those of us winding down from the day and after watching our regular scheduled prime-time shows, it was natural to turn the dial to NBC and Jay Leno.
Those NBC executives that made the poor, ridiculous decision to take the best late night host out of late night shouldn't be allowed to program a VCR. They sure can't program late night.
NBC, get off your duffs and get Jay Leno back on late night. If you do that I predict that the late night rating will go through the roof. For one, I refuse to watch NBC late night since Leno left and I don't like the Letterman show.
I say, let us viewers watch our regular prime-time shows and then enjoy a late night show. Don't put a late night comedian in prime time and interrupt our favorite prime-time viewing. There is a big difference between prime-time and late night entertainment and late night means Jay Leno.-And, that's my opinion.
