let me explain myself a little bit better than that.
i have as little to do with slavery as obama does. less in fact he is now running the government which allowed slavery. ask him to apologize for being part of such a corrupt organization.
why should i be asked to apologize? because i'm white? don't you realize that is racist? when people in their self righteousness can't see their own racism that can lead to trouble. don't fall into that trap. if you feel like your whiteness makes you guilty of something then go ahead and paddle your bottom. just don't ask the rest of us to join you.
if you want to spend time worrying about slavery why not focus on contemporary slavery. the american slave problem ended a long time ago. thank god.

my previous post showed the majority of americans want doctors to decide how the health care system should be fixed. here is a quick excerpt from an article on obama's long time doctor (scheiner).
"Scheiner says he never thought it was appropriate to talk about health policy with Obama, especially once he became a U.S. Senator. The one exception was medical malpractice reform. "I once briefly talked to him about malpractice, and he took the lawyers' position," he says.
Obama reiterated his opposition to caps on medical malpractice-related damages when he addressed an audience of doctors earlier this week at the American Medical Association's annual meeting. (See "Will Doctors Buy Obamacare?")
Scheiner, like most others in his profession, thinks that it should be harder to sue doctors and that awards should be capped. He says that he and other doctors must order too many tests and imaging studies just to avoid being sued.
Scheiner graduated from Princeton and then started at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons 50 years ago. After training in internal medicine in Chicago he joined a practice in Hyde Park. His partner was Quentin Young, a doctor known for supporting universal coverage and for briefly being the personal physician of Martin Luther King Jr.
Before selling his practice, he watched his income decline over the years to what he calculated to be $22 an hour ($2,100 every two weeks after withholding for taxes, health insurance and malpractice insurance.)"

i think the lefties need a group hug. such anger. so sad. take a deep breath the boogie man is gone.
this poll:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/120890/Healthcare-Americans-Trust-Physicians-Politicians.aspx
shows how people really feel. they want the doctors to decide. not the politicians. doctors clearly have people's trust. do doctors support obama's plan? parts of it. but their biggest need is not addressed tort reform. lawyers don't score too high on the list do they?
obama's plan is already in peril. enemies within his own party are questioning how he plans to pay for it. where are the cost savings?
i guess cheney must be spiking their water with evil juice. dear oh dear.

i think obama should apologize. he's the president and represents the country.

that was me paraphrasing beer drinker. i pasted when i should have copied or something like that. multitasking is not my thing.
my last post was not a quote either. i am sorry. these were flawed posts. there is really no defense. i will try to do better in the future.

beer man let me get your logic straight.
the over abundance of lawyers in america has been good for the health care system while the lack of lawyers here in japan has been bad for their system.
is that about right?

i thought liberals were supposed to be good at nuances. you can only see black and white? good and evil? liberal and conservative? why not come up with caps that protect both doctors and patients?
why protect the lawyers?
why not just put caps on the earning lawyers can make. let the patients keep their money. obama thinks execs make too much, how about these slip and fall lawyers? why not cap them?

this new japanese study puts a dent in this theory.

of course some people will still feel it's politically incorrect to have a waist line.

actually in a speech recently he did make some comment which could be seen as an idirect poke at obama. he said the economy will heal itself through the efforts of the private sector not through government action. something along those lines.
but considering level of partisan attacks made on him by the dem's x leaders it was very muted.

first of all japan doesn't have a culture where doctors get sued. this helps keep costs down. again obama has shown he supports the lawyers over the doctors. his own personal doctor has spoken out against this.
i went for a check up here in japan. in new york i was put on a certain (basic) testing routine because of my family medical history and specific symptoms. here in japan i was told they can't run those tests. when i pressed the doctor he admitted they could prevent me, and many japanese, from getting cancer but in japan they don't see enough benefit so they don't spend the resources.
in america if i got cancer i could sue him. do you see what is going on?

it's funny how little has actually changed under obama. of course we don't hear so much hysterical rhetoric as we used to.
