Comments for Wetshadows http://eisnerdigital.com What I find interesting and hopefully you will too Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:43:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 Comment on Great interview with Dr. Quentin Young, regarding the urgent need for a single-payer health care system in the U.S. by Bob Haiducek http://eisnerdigital.com/2009/04/13/great-interview-with-dr-quentin-young-regarding-the-urgent-need-for-a-single-payer-health-care-system-in-the-us/#comment-1812 Bob Haiducek Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:55:10 +0000 http://eisnerdigital.com/2009/04/13/great-interview-with-dr-quentin-young-regarding-the-urgent-need-for-a-single-payer-health-care-system-in-the-us/#comment-1812 Thanks for posting this. Although you did not bold it to highlight it, you have now contributed to the distribution of the following information: a nationally-known physician friend of President Obama communicated that this is "one of the few times when Barack has been dishonest." Imagine that: a prominent doctor who personally knows the president is calling him dishonest for the topic of health care, which affects every American so personally. What Dr. Young does not mention is that President Obama told us at his own health care meeting during the campaign (4/3/2007) what we need to do to get the health care policy that we want: a couple of thousand letters from every U.S. Congressional District. Anyone who wants to help by simply printing and signing a letter (and reviewing a list of suggestions each month for making it more valuable via the addition of one hand-written sentence) can go here: http://www.medicareforall.org The sending of letters to U.S. Representatives is a guaranteed way to get health care for all. Why? Because the members of Congress have such a great concern about being elected. But the power of lobbyists can be overcome by the power of citizens sending letters to members of Congress, especially if letters are sent to all the members of the U.S. House --- the U.S. Representatives. Do you want to hear President Obama speak about what I wrote above?

]]> Comment on Colin Powell endorses Obama for President by Admin http://eisnerdigital.com/2008/10/20/colin-powell-endorses-obama-for-president/#comment-540 Admin Mon, 20 Oct 2008 23:50:31 +0000 http://eisnerdigital.com/2008/10/20/colin-powell-endorses-obama-for-president/#comment-540 Howard, You're obviously not a big Obama fan, and I'm not going to try and change your mind--fine by me if you want to support McCain. While I'm not a big Obama supporter, I definitely believe that he's got the intellectual muscle to run the country, which I can't say is true of McCain IMO, nor of Palin (when compared to Biden). I wouldn't characterize Powell's endorsement of Obama as a matter of questionable judgment; he's simply endorsing the person he feels is most qualified for the job in HIS opinion. It's interesting that he felt strongly enough to defect from his party's candidate. FWIW, I think you buy into the labels put on Obama by Fox News and other reflexive conservative media too easily--I'm assuming by 'anti-American racists', you're referring to Rev. Wright, and by 'domestic terrorists' you're referring to Bill Ayers being in the Weather Underground. Rev. Wright is no less or more controversial than Pat Robertson, esp. when you compare the two men's comments about 9/11, and no one to my knowledge has condemned a Republican candidate for having Robertson's endorsement. McCain designated Rev. Hagee as his spiritual advisor, and Hagee gave sermons where he said that Hitler was doing God's work by killing Jews (you can listen to/read Hagee's sermons online--very alarming), and that Hurricane Katrina was God's vengeance on homosexuals because there was due to be a flagrant Gay Parade on the day that Katrina struck. This is completely hateful and ridiculous, but interestingly it wasn't Hagee's comments about Gay people that got him in trouble (though it should have) with McCain, it was his comments about Hitler and the Jews that got him in trouble. McCain's financial advisor, Phil Gramm, was directly responsible for the lack of regulation of the banks that were responsible for the current financial crisis--Gramm has/will cause a lot more suffering to innocent Americans through his actions than Bill Ayers ever caused as a member of the Weather Underground in the 1960s. In terms of socialism, you only have to look at who contributes money to Obama's campaign to see that Obama is backed by identical corporate donors (with the one exception of oil companies) to those of McCain. Do you really think AT&T would give money to a candidate they thought was a Socialist? I guess we'll find out whether Obama is a Socialist when he wins the election on 11/04, and sends Palin back to Alasks. Howard,

Powell says that Obama is ready to lead ... WHY? ... Regardless of Powell's last minute endorsement, Obama is still the most liberal senator in congress ... who accomplished nothing in his meager 3 years in office, except voting present 160 times, and campaigning for President, as well as associating with anti-American racists and domestic terrorists ... and, taking America down the road to socialism. Obama betrayed a friendship of 20 years, for personal ambition. Powell betrayed his friendship with McCain. McCain did not betray his fellow prisoners, even during 5 years of torture. These facts speak volumes about who these men really are, and whether or not we can trust them.
