Obama Care(s), Cameron Doesn't!

The world has just witnessed the myth called "American democracy".

Now I must admit, before I start, that I’m not an expert on American politics. I’m just a mere foreign spectator. But this is the way it looks to other countries around the world.

President Obama had his bill passed for health care for the poorest and most in need in his country, this became known as ‘Obama care’.

You would have thought that such a powerful, wealthy nation, which purports to be a true democratic and civilised country, would have had this measure in place for years, but no, this is not the case. Not only did they not have a system where the most vulnerable were cared for, but a large proportion of the people actively didn’t want this to happen.

The Republicans fought against it, but, luckily, common sense prevailed, and they lost, not just once but three times! So, this being the land of democracy, they wouldn’t accept a vote where their ideology had been defeated. So they tried to force their ideology on the country by nearly not only destroying it, but also taking the world's economy down with it, in the process.

This has to be one of the worst cases of spitting out your dummy (pacifier) in the whole of human history!

I am not in any position to comment on whether Obama is a good or bad president. I don’t live in America. But I would rather have a man who has the courage to pass a bill that is not going to be popular, but will help the most vulnerable of his people, and has the balls to stand firm against tyranny to ensure that it goes through!

Here in Britain, unfortunately,we don’t have such a man in power. We have the spawn of Thatcher running our country! The Republicans would be proud to see their ideology put into practice.

When Thatcher privatised our nationalised industries, back in the day, people applauded her, I don’t hear them cheering very loudly now!

There was no doubt that most of those nationalised industries needed a kick up the arse! They were over-staffed by apathetic employees who were just sticking around for a pension.

But heating and water should be basic human rights, not commodities that are used to bring us to our knees while a few make millions out of the misery of the poor.

Thatcher wanted to go back to ‘Victorian values’. Well ‘Dodgy Dave’ and his crew have done just that. We now have not only the poorest in society going to food banks but also people who have jobs!

A few fat cats own most of the country, our gas and electricity is the most expensive in Europe. Our food bills are rising way above wages. 

Everything is in the hands of people whose only aim in life is to make a profit!

HS2 will be built with mainly tax payers' money, but investors will reap the rewards, while the people of this country are starting to rely more and more on charities.

WHAT A BUNCH OF DONKEYS! Why do we just accept all this crap? We do like to moan, but we don’t want to rock the boat!

Why don’t we state that the party that renationalises the water, gas, electric commodities and the railways is the one we will vote back into power!

British gas have made two billion pounds profit last year and raised their prices by ten percent. They paid their MD £3.6 million in bonuses! We could have invested all that back into the company to make it cheaper for us all.

We shouldn’t fall the same crap that we did with the banking crisis! Over-profiteering by selfish arseholes who didn’t care who they took down as long as they made money. Then we paid the price, and bailed them out. Not one of them was taken to task for their greed, and the same is happening now, with the gas and electricity companies.

It’s about time that, like Obama, we stood up for what is a basic right and put the heat on our politicians to serve the people of the nation and not themselves and friends!

It’s time to act like  lions, not donkeys!
