"This isn't about politics" - Part II

Dear President Obama,

With all due respect, for the past 17 hours I have found myself a bit confused. I just wanted to clarify a few things:

1. “This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics.” means that you needed to travel all the way to a Washington D.C. hospital (with all the Secret Service detail, all those cars, and use all those lights/cameras/microphones) not to gather information, but to have the right “stage” in which to tout HR 3200.

2. “This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics.” means that you are still unwilling to confront the unions and especially the trial lawyers about the huge cost their “agenda” leaves on the medical system in the United States.

3. “This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics.” means that you still want to ram this bill through without allowing the American people or their representatives in Congress to really read it, understand it, and discuss it.

4. “This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics.” means that you are still not willing to use this same health care you are proposing for the American people for your own family and your Washington colleagues.

5. “This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics.” means that you insist on ignoring the Constitution you swore to uphold just 6 months ago (please see the 10th Amendment).

If it isn’t about you and this isn’t about politics, what is it that you are afraid of?

Sincerely,

One who believes it is
