Because that'll help the country....

So one of the first headlines I read this morning "Sen McConnell to Pres Obama: Top Goal is to Make You a 1-term President".

My gut reaction is to be sick to my stomach. The article then goes on to say that republican's goal is to repeatedly introduce measures to repeal the groundbreaking health care reform (gee... wonder who financed their campaigns????) and if all else fails block funding for it if they can't get rid of it.

I don't know as much as I should about the healthcare bill but I can't help but feel sick that the public elected a party that wants to take away something that was going to pave the way for everyone being insured?!?!? Who are these people that felt our health care system was working? The very people who listened to the fear mongerers (SP???)  are the people who were probably going to benefit the most. But if it does get repealed or blocked in anyway, well those morons just shot themselves in the foot. Then they'll be the ones whining about not being covered. *rolls eyes*

My other reaction:

What good does focusing all the anger on him do? What does it do to solve our issues as a country???? The reason Democrats got elected in '08 had part to do with anger and backlash, but also hope. We were angry at the man in charge which certainly fueled those vying for office, but that anger was used to actually get stuff done. To be using the anger at things not miraculously getting better in 2 years (Imagine that, it took 8 years to fuck up the country but we expect it to change overnight??? ) as a means to punish the man in charge for not achieving the impossible is going to get us nowhere. Worse, I fear, it'll actually prevent us from recovering that much quicker. It may even set us back. And that isn't good for anyone.
