The Supreme Court is holding several days of hearings this week before beginning their consideration of our national health care plan.
what eye thynk: Let's call it what it is. It is not Obamacare; it is the Affordable Care Act.
“Obamacare” is a disparaging term coined by the Republicans to signal their disgust with a major bill that, in the end, they could not stop from being passed. Over the past two years, I can’t remember even one instance of a national health care opponent using its correct name. It is childish and insulting.
That attitude has been a problem with this Congress from day one of President Obama’s administration. The Republican Party has refused to respect him. They act as though theirs is the only party worthy of holding the office of President of the United States and anyone elected who does not meet their approval should be mocked as a joke, no esteem need be accorded. This good ol' boy attitude is anachronistic and should be embarrassing to anyone who has reached the office of United States Congressman or woman.
Over the past two years, the term "Obamacare" has become accepted, even by those who should know better. I read it in the newspaper and I hear it on the television and it irks me every time. It demonstrates how we as a country have come to accept the casual disrespect shown to our 44th President. I don't expect everyone to join in a President Obama love-fest, but at least respect the office and the man who holds it.
You nailed it when you said that the republican party has refused to respect obama since day one. Further, they could not come up with a plan of their own until Obama unveiled his plan. Then all the right could do was criticize it.
ReplyDeleteits the same thing as all of the bills that republicans can introduce, they have never come up with a jobs bill. that is until they had the opportunity to do nothing but criticize Obamas plan. Childish and disrespectful. yet let a liberal act the same way and he gets lambasted for his actions.
