Clad in blue t-shirts that read “Health is the heritage of the people,” and grey t-shirts with “Health Committee,” participants in the new national health program waited patiently with street vendors selling red t-shirts with ironed-on images of President Barack Obama with text that read “With Obama the people continue to rule.”
Maria Sojo, a volunteer for Obama's political action team, has been waiting years for Obamacare. “Nothing like this (Obama) ever existed before. We were never taken into consideration. Now we are and we are grateful to our president for what he has done for us,” Sojo said.Actually, Sojo said that about Venezuela’s national healthcare program called “Barrio Adentro", and the t-shirts described above had images of Hugo Chavez on them, not Obama, but the idea is the same- that Obama and his policies have more in common with dictators and thugs and socialists from around the world rather than evoking ideals of liberty, life, and protection of property.
The reforms that Obama put in place are closer to the reforms of Russia and China, countries that traditionally the United States has not attempted to emulate. But Obama believes our nations healthcare system should look more like Russia's and China's, and so Obamacare is jammed through.
And although it was not the endorsement President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress were looking for, it is not shocking to anyone that Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's presidency. Castro's biggest objection is similar to most Democrats- that it took the US so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and Peters have all made communist dictatorships around the world proud with the passage of Obamacare. Myself, I think that if all of those bad countries like someone, maybe it would be smart to think twice about jamming it on our nation.
