JDC Government Machinations: Evaluating anything is always subjective except when it, and whatever it is, is in black and white. Of course, one may still wish to come to whatever conclusion in order to feed an emotional need at any point in time.
The lack of cash flow on Main Street and no economic improvement has voters looking to the 2012 elections to vent their disapproval of the current administration's ability to solve anything. Is this fair?
Ending physical year 2008, under President George Bush, the debt ratio was 3.2% of the economy GDP. In 2009 with President Obama's bailout programs, debt rose to 10.9%. In 2011 alone, the current administration has incurred an additional 3 trillion 600 billion without any offset for spending cuts.
The difference between what is taken into government coffers and spent must be plugged by borrowing money at enormous interest rates. Money and rates the American taxpayer cannot afford, and did not bargain for when they pulled the lever in the election booth in November of 2008.
Subject to debate is the spending arrogance of the White House to fulfill one man's ideology that has frustration and anger festering as to the upcoming debt owed. . .15 trillion dollars; a recorded daily changing figure that supersedes the aggregate total of all past administrations combined in less than three years.
Yes, these funds were smoothly lifted out of the taxpayer's pockets yielding no positive results as jobs remain stagnant, and economic growth overall, spurts, fizzles and goes south, while the Dow like a yo-yo forecasts a dim view on recovery.
This is the Obama economy and has been from the moment he took the Oath of Office. Newsmax's Moneynews reports: "Are You Ready for Dow 7,000?" . . ."the U.S. economy has fallen flat on its face. In short, unlike the last crisis, there is nothing more policymakers can do this time around. The course of market and economic history has already been charted. . ., and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has a date with 7,000." Ugh!
Our biggest danger is: the White House postition, is not for on-the-job-training. Are you and I pretending the man occupying the office at 1600 Pennsylvania isn't ruining our country? Do you and I put blinders on pressured by political affiliations rather than facing reality that our checkbooks and our quality of life and freedom is progressively diminishing? Do we continue on the road with a man liked, and once endowed with the magic of words, who has failed in his capacity to handle the job for which he was entrusted by millions?
It takes more than a will and desire to make changes for the better good. Experience and understanding of how our system works in connection with its original purpose endowed by our forefathers must be a prerequisite to opening the door of the most powerful position in the world - The President of the United States.
Any failure as to "insight of understanding," or any deliberate actions based on self-motivated reasoning by any president, can do nothing but bring disgrace and a downfall to what hopefully still remains and can remain the greatest country and republic. . .The United States of America.
And now, sadly, a land where currently Lady Liberty sheds a tear into the New York harbor, still holding her torch brightly to keep the gateway to freedom a reality and as a reminder that: it is man who is the United States, and it is man who will destroy it unless. . .???

Obama Medicaid Plan Leaves Throngs with No Doctor
JDC Government Machinations: Democrats indeed passed legislation without knowing what was in it, that now may be a haunting egregious cloud over the upcoming 2012 elections.
The caldron of discontent and anger is bubbling over at President Obama, and those who recklessly chose to pass his health care law, as then Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi claims: in order to find out what is in it.
Perhaps the president believed "you'll learn to like it," as referenced in Rep. Tim Huelskamp's September 23rd OP-ED article in the Washington Examiner.
The new Medicaid program debuted September 5th in the president's home state of Illinois with difficulties, as doctors, clinics, even one of Illinois's top 100 hospitals in the nation choose to not participate in the White House plan, leaving multitudes without a primary doctor.
A doctor's authorization is needed for almost everything medical, and the primary doctor is where it all starts.
States like Illinois have been lax in a cohesive launch of the Medicaid program to ensure access to care under health reforms as discussed by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured; under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), with state and federal officials in December of 2010.
Reality is happening and different from what those in Congress "thought," and that may be the problem they thought instead of actually reflecting with care and regard in the decision making process; opting to pass the official ideology and policy of the president whether popular or not, whether sufficient or not, whether right or wrong; or whether the taxpayer and the country could afford it.
After dozens of telephone calls, the reply to one voter is always the same. Sorry, we no longer will participate in Medicaid, or sorry, we have reached our limit for new Medicaid patients.
Then there are doctors not four or five star rated by patients, reflecting a serious lax in care practices - from service to staffing problems to billing inconsistencies. More than one agitated voter agrees in a physician of choice, and a doctor with a degree of conformance to standards, excellence of character, and access to a safe location in the use of medical services.
Did Congress have to pass Obamacare in order to know what's in it?
As Forrest played by actor Tom Hanks states in the movie "Forrest Gump,". . ."Stupid is what stupid does." -- Would you as a hard working American give a blank signed check to anyone individual or company without knowing what you are buying, can afford and what your guarantees are?
According to different national polls, with the Congressional rating in the single digits and the president's "leadership performance" level at 39%, will the pigeons come home to roost favorably with the Democratic party and the White House in the upcoming election of 2012? Will Americans fly in droves to the voting booth, outraged at how President Obama's medical program is affecting their lives, wallets and family security?
Will Obama be a one-time president, or will he redeem himself and some bad choices?
