Inferred by a Turd
[Read the article: Some free advice for Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Health care costs swing wildly- rather like our friend Shawn- depending on region, health plan, demographics, and other factors. In our area, the prevailing copay for a doctors visit is ten dollars. Do you think the physician lives on that? The prescription copay is five bucks. Don't think Phizer is raking the dough from that transaction. What the insurance industry does, nationwide, because of government's timidity and ineptitude, is lower their risk and raise their rates. Thus , the exclusion of pre-existing conditions, ramped up costs for older folks, and the usual Snidely Whiplash approach. Don't bother with your drooling rebuttal, Shawn; I worked in a hospital for twelve years, was involved in arranging health care coverage, and all the irrelevant stuff. Sounds like you've been into the Butt Lite already, Shawn. Worshiping at Our Lady of the Malted Grain, eh? kisses, tommy

Another Diaperload from Shawn
[Read the article: Some free advice for Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course Pfizer is a drug company. Actually, our hospital does arrange coverage for our employees. But better you baffle us with bullshit instead of dazzling us with brilliance. Sounds like you're an insurance pimp. figures. Actually, to be fair, your past post, plump with pomposity as it was, was one of your more coherent. What this has to do with Obama we haven't the faintest. Naturally; we're the unwashed uneducated rabble who have the nerve not to kneel before the Rodham God in abject adoration. You do seem to well versed in ancient Eastern religion; it's quite evident you have studied the works of Dung Flung Ho. All Hail the Billary, Ready from Day One. Ready to be exactly the drudge she's been for the past twenty years, on the board of Wall Mart, or lawyering for an all white corporate master. I'm impressed. love, heywood

Hancock
[Read the article: Some free advice for Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Shawn thinks John Hancock is a porn star. In a way, it is: it makes a living screwing people, just not on camera. John's discredited in HillaryWorld because he was partially responsible for eloquence and big words on that long-obsolete document, the Declaration.

This Says It all
[Read the article: Some free advice for Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"You obviously no nothing about health care....." Shawn the Pawn, op cit, bullshit, utter twit. If there's a party to which Shawn belongs, it's the No Nothings. Duh. Ease back on the Black Jack/Butt Lite chasers, there bucko. You know, I was doing my exercises out on the lawn an hour or so back, and it suddenly occurred to me that, instead of being a belligerent blathering boob, Shawn may actually be a brilliant performance artist. Think Andy Kaufmann. Go into your ignoramus ape mode and stay there, slinging incoherent scat at whomever crosses your malodorous path. Could be a brilliant artistic coup. Or not. I'm thinking not. smootches and huggies, you pal Tommy.

This is English?
[Read the article: Some free advice for Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"The person I'm engaging in..." You're thinker than you drunk you are, Shawnie Baby. About that time of day, with some KY and a picture of Ann Coulter. What the world needs now, is love, sweet love, that's the only thing that there's just too little of. I knew you were a romantic, Weirdly Maladjusted. Say hi to Adams Apple Annie for me. Go Trojans! (annie's a USC girl, but I'm sure you know that). pucker up. your admirer, tommy

Kumbaya
[Read the article: Some free advice for Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Shhhh! The Hillbots think anyone who supports Obama is either a navel gazing college twirp or an overeducated, brie and cheese and Chardonnay elitist, and that we all believe the world's problems will magically disappear on January 21, 2009 when President Obama leads the nation in Kumbaya. Kinda like levitating the Pentagon. Really. The skies will open, and lion will lay down with the lamb. Actually, Shawn has a sheep fetish already, so he's ready for interspecies peace. tom

Subjectivity
[Read the article: Obama, Clinton and the black-brown divide]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I don't think so in my honest Democratic opinion so I'm certain Independents and Republicans won't thinks so.....". Oh, really. where have you lived? With whom have you spoken? What do the polls, as imperfect as they are, tell us about tendencies in these regards? This being a fresh thread, no more epithets. That grew tiresome, I'm sure more for you than for me. I'm an old guy who's lived a lot of places and talked to a lot of people in a lot of roles, as a law clerk, as a guitarist, as a bartender, as a construction worker, as a landscaper, as a human resources analyst, and accountant, janitor, cryptographic Navy petty officer, and more. Does this make me omniscient? Hell, no. I'm fallible to the bone. But I don't go into a trance when Obama speaks. He wasn't even my first choice. Hillary would have been my fourth. But that's what we've got, and we've got to win. I believe this is the most important election since at least 1960, maybe 1932, and maybe even 1860. The lives of our four children, and four grandchildren thus far, depend on a radical turnaround. Not baby steps. Chances. changes. boldness. It's not like Obama doesn't have world class intellectual chops. He was president of the Harvard Law Review. Hillary took three tries to pass the bar. That is not, alone, a reason to choose on over the other. But we are not talking about a 36 year old spellbinder. I believe- and I use the word believe advisedly- that he's worth the risk. I have profound doubts that she can be elected. I know you disagree with that, but what have we to go on other than polls, and our instincts? She's a smart lady. She'd be a quantum jump above Bush the Tush, but that's not saying much. She seems to me too cautious, too calculating, and too pedestrian. We need someone to call us beyond ourselves. He's the best shot we've got. If she wins the nomination- and I mean wins, not finagles- then I'm on her side 100 percent and will give whatever funds we can scrape together. If she steals it, I've vote for her, but she won't get a thin dime. Rest well, Shawn.
