If You Don't Understand Politics....

Why are we somehow surprised that Obama is putting more power in the government than Bush? We obviously don't understand politics. Bush is conservative, Obama is a liberal. In terms of the government, a true conservative puts his power in the free market, gives more power to the states. A liberal works to put more power in the central government, sometimes take care of things like health care, work to take care of the poor, control gas prices, basically keep things in check, not depending on the free market to regulate itself, which obviously the free market is not very good at regulating itself. There is no supply part, just demand in terms of pricing. If you don't understand that and you hate the government, why did you vote Obama in you big idiots!

As for me, if they can do it right, nationalized healthcare for basic healthcare is a great thing. I'm not talking about major heart surgery or cosmetic surgery so much as preventative care like regular check ups, especially for kids, cold, flu, child birth, getting it before it turns into a huge epidemic and a huge problem resulting in people who didn't go in because they couldn't afford the doctor's bill or couldn't afford the time off ending up in the hospital, raising a huge bill and ultimately raising healthcare costs for all of us. That's part of why I voted him in.
