			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people are predicting a Conservative Revolution in November 2010. I agree, there will probably be one, but here&#8217;s the statement most people won&#8217;t agree with. <em>It will save Obama&#8217;s Presidency.</em></p>
<p>Yep, you heard me. If republicans take over Congress Obama will move more toward the center and become more popular and be reelected. Look back into history and see us repeat it&#8230;</p>
<p>Obama saw a chance in 2008. A chance to get what Democrats have been wanting for decades but couldn&#8217;t get passed. Healthcare. Republicans forced it to be a little watered down, but they did get it passed. And he (Obama) has had many far left policies and actions, many people in the U.S. right now are pushing to get back to <strong>economic</strong> conservatism. The word economic is the important one. I don&#8217;t vote for republicans because of abortion and social policy. I trust them with my money&#8230;. Because they take less of it. Leave the real use of my money to&#8230; me.</p>
<p>Anyway with that said, I know a lot of people that support republicans economically and democrats socially, as I do. This means they want to see some conservative economic policy in Washington again. The only people up for vote in 2010 is congress, congress will be taken over by Republicans and we&#8217;ll put a body block in government spending. I hope&#8230;..</p>
<p>Well, these are only my predictions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Healthcare is a tough topic, no doubt about that. And changes have to be made, noone disagrees with that. INCLUING REPUBLICANS. That&#8217;s right if anyone cared to watch C-SPAN or C-SPAN2 and inform themselves about the reality of the situation they would see that republicans don&#8217;t oppose change&#8230; They just oppose massive and needless changes.</p>
<p>And on this topic. I&#8217;ll be honest. I agree with Republicans about healthcare (mostly). For those of you that are leftists and don&#8217;t have an open mind, and want to get this passed now regardless of the 10-20 year consequences, that&#8217;s fine you can stop reading now.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m here to talk to everyone that has an open mind and is willing to think and challenge their &#8216;leaders&#8217;. And i&#8217;m going to talk about this bill by talking about something everyone knows and should have been to and should have learned from&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to talk about an experence everyone had.</p>
<p>KINDERGARTEN</p>
<p>Yes, i&#8217;m going to try to convince you that this healthcare bill is a bad idea based on what I learned in kindergarten. Healthcare is a massive issue, and there are massive amounts of people in this country that don&#8217;t have health insurance (for whatever reason) and can only get healthcare by waiting until it&#8217;s a major problem and going to the E.R. (if they don&#8217;t have a savings account to pay for it out of). To the majority of Americans that is unacceptable. Myself included.</p>
<p>Another major problem is those that have pre-existing conditions find themselves uninsured. This in my opinion is the largest problem facing our healthcare industry right now.</p>
<p>So all in all, it&#8217;s a big problem, a massive problem&#8230; In kindergarten, what was the first thing you were taught to do when face a problem? For me it was very simple, break it down into very small problems and take them one at a time, see if they help the situation over time, if not undo them and try something else.</p>
<p>So, why shouldn&#8217;t congress do that? Why should it pass a super huge bloated bill that tries to fix everything at the same time. I&#8217;m sure some of the things in there will do well, and some clearly will not (everyone admits this). So why even do the things that won&#8217;t work!?</p>
<p>Why not just pass 100-200 smaller bills that can be easily undone if they don&#8217;t work? Why not fix the topics one at a time? This would be my solution. Fix the problems one at a time, and see where they stand with the populace of this great country of ours. I bet most of the country would support something to put people with pre-existing conditions that have been denied private insurance on medicare or medicaid. I also bet people would oppose the idea of people with pre-existing conditions put into a new bureaucracy to handle &#8220;all Americans&#8221;.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s how I see this problem. Rip it apart&#8230; Make it many smaller problems&#8230; Take them one by one. Why can&#8217;t the people in Washington take the simple straightforward answer?</p>
<p>The only time I want them to act like children, they refuse to.</p>
<p>So, in short, I oppose some of the things in this bill, but I am also in favor of some of this thing about this bill&#8230; However, I think this bill should be defeated because of it&#8217;s SIZE&#8230;</p>
