“Yes we can” . . . . President Obama said during his campaign . . . but two years later that promise has been amended to . . . “but it’s not going to happen overnight.”

It was Jon Stewart on Comedy Central’s ‘The Daily Show’ that labeled Obama “The Dude” because Obama defended National Economic Council director Larry Summers saying he did, “a heckava job.”

“You don’t want to use that phrase, Dude”, Stewart responded, alluding to former President George W. Bush’s infamous use of the same compliment.

Stewart later said the slogan should be modified to “Yes, we can – but . . . “

Although being the first President to appear on a comedy show, Obama was reaching out to the youth vote trying to salvage, to some degree, the mid term election and said, “We have done some things that people don’t even know about . . . “

Stewart interrupted and said, “You’re preparing a surprise party for me?”

There was audience laughter, but Obama was serious in defense of his administrations’ policies over the past two years.

And no comment by Obama was more true than, “We have done some things that people don’t even know about . . . “  That was certainly true in health care reform, for even the administration doesn’t know what it did, because it didn’t read the bill.

I think that comment is more transparent than any rhetoric Obama has ever delivered to the American people, because there are more surprises in Obama’s bag of ‘things that people don’t even know about . . . ” especially Obamacare.

Within the past few weeks checks in the amount of $250 were sent out by Health and Human Services to seniors that fell in the doughnut hole.

There was a lot of ballyhoo about how Obama was going to eliminate the doughnut hole; many thought it would take place this year.

No, those in the hole got a check for $250.  Obamacare doesen’t go into full effect until 2014.

A female senior citizen here in Florida received her check, refilled a prescription for an anti-hypertensive for 90 pills and it cost her nearly $200 and that was for a generic substitute.  She’s got $50 left of Obamacare money for two months with several more prescriptions to fill.

Obama accepted a deal by the pharmaceutical industry of a contribution to his health care reform for $800 billion over 10 years.

He accepted that deal with the proviso that the government would not interfere with price increases during this period.  Meanwhile price increases are already taking place within the pharma industry by an increase of 20%; by 2020, $800 billion will look like petty cash to the pharmaceutical industry with the increase in the customer base and the increase in prices for prescriptions.

More surprises?  You bet.

There are now some 20 states suing the government on Obamacare.

This fall the health care reform will eliminate lifetime limits on how much insurers will pay to cover claims in a policy.

There will be no more dropping of individuals, or recision when an expensive illness results in big claims.

There will be no co-pays or other cost-sharing for preventive care, such as immunization or mammograms.

There will be the right to include children up to age 26 on family policies, whether they are dependent or not.

And, there will be no more refusals of policies to children with pre-existing conditions.

The government is enforcing people, with a penalty if they don’t take this insurance, and the insurance companies are already raising rates.

What is left, because the people will not be able to afford the price increases of health insurance and prescription costs?  Obama’s Marxism. Government control of health care, yes death panels, and a level of health care that will not compare to what we have been used to.

This is but one example of Obama’s policies and, “some things that the people don’t even know about,” that he is proud of and touts.

The mid-term election on November 2 is about stopping Obama in his tracks as step number one.  To stop the direction in which he is taking this country, eroding the constitution and propagating as a disciple the philosophy of Alinsky, Cloward & Pivin and a Marxist agenda.

If you haven’t yet voted, this election is not about the candidates, not even their qualifications; it is about stopping a movement that is taking this country in the wrong direction, a direction that our founders did not envision for the United States and to make Obama a one-term president as step two in 2012.

Yes, God Bless America in your vote – for all the right reasons, not the hidden ones.
