Let me be clear, Mr. President

Let me be clear, Mr. President. You have been clear enough. No more explanations or simplifying complex issues for us neanderthals will change our positions on hot-button issues.

Let me be clear, Mr. President. You were the agent of change, transparency, and a new era of politics. I see the same closed door, pork barrelling, buying votes politics of the past.

Let me be clear, Mr. President, a televised health care summit will not solve the issues with the medical industry. It is a six hour photo op for the President, and representatives on both sides of the aisle.

Let me be clear, Mr. President, if you wanted to showcase your new era of politics and transparency, you should have started with the closed door transactions between the democrats while crafting the House and Senate bills. The health care summit with microphones, numerous camera positions, and possibly hair and make-up, is a shallow and not genuine attempt to placate your consituents.

Let me be clear, Mr. President. I am not apart of the "party of no", simply the "party of not that". Not that health care bill. Not that deficit of $1.17 trillion dollars.

Let me be clear, Mr. President, I am not one of the "I hate Obama" supporters. I am not automatically shuting down everything you or your administration does. I support your troop increase. I am impressed with the capture of several high ranking Taliban operatives. Of the "Stimulus bill", I fully supported the lengthening unemployment and COBRA coverage. There are great things in certain bills, including the health care bill. Don't ruin them by allowing yourself or Congress to fall victim to greed.

Let me be clear, Mr. President. If this health care bill is the manna from heaven for all those uninsured, or are excluded because of pre-existing conditions, or have filled bankruptcy because of overwhelming medical debt; why not push it through? You have the numbers within your own party to push through any legislation you want. You don't want to only have democrat votes on these bills, because when this bankrupts our system, you don't want to be the ones blamed. When the $1 trillion price tag triples, which costs usually triple from preliminary estimates, and the angry American public comes knocking, you want others to share the blame.

Let me be clear, Mr. President. You need to listen to the American public. The majority of us do not support government run health care. And I might need to remind you, you were elected with a small majority of 53%. And right now, according to Gallup, you only have a 48% approval rating, when a year ago you had 68%. This is not a coincidence.
