Shame on you for even thinking such a thing! Besides, didn't you read the sentence in my blog that clearly states that we are AHEAD in the critical category of teenage pregnancy?

Besides, didn’t you read the sentence in my blog that clearly states that we are AHEAD in the critical category of teenage pregnancy?

I listened to the Health Care Summit - or at least lots of it - on POTUS radio on Serius radio (live and unfiltered). Every time I'd hear a Republican say something about all Americans not wanting any changes made I would say (to myself, outloud), "Not THIS American!). I guess they are right that many Americans voice that they don't want what Obama is pushing for and I simply can't understand why. I think it's because the Republicans keep pushing big lies at the public and the public believes the lies. - But WHY do they believe the stories told to them by Republicans over the "stories" told to them by Obama? That is SUCH a mystery to me. People are condemning themselves to bankruptcy and ruin by the actions they are taking. (I heard something - can't remember who said it - it was yesterday on Serius radio - about health insurance will cost the average American family of four $25,000/year in, I think it was, 10 years!) My simplistic way of understanding what is causing this whole mess is that the Republicans want to get back what the Democrats and Obama took from them in the last election and they will do whatever it takes to do that. And that is the driving force behind their Just Say No and their lies. Obama has done, I feel, everything in his power to explain and be bi-partisan, but nothing CAN be done when the other side has NO DESIRE to listen because solving the health care problem in this country is not what they are trying to do. What they are trying to do is regain what they lost in the last election. Period. - At least that's what my mind tells me. I know and have known all that you state above, Dan.
