With the unemployment rate remaining at 9.7 percent, President Obama and Democrat leaders in Congress continue to focus on healthcare reform.
In January, the President promised that his number one priority would be jobs, jobs, jobs. During the President’s State of The Union speech, this promise was repeated time and again.
So why are the Democrats back on the healthcare train? Simple, President Obama’s number one priority is President Obama.
It has become increasingly clear that this administration has turned the Presidency into a Left-Winged crusade for government control of healthcare and the private sector, at all cost.
Even with Democrat Senate seats hanging in the balance, the President is unable or unwilling to do what is right, and that is keep his promises.
He promised to put people back to work. Americans are fed up with this whole healthcare debate and want the President and Congress to focus on jobs. This was clearly the issue on the minds of voters during the Democrat’s losses in Massachusetts, Virginia And New Jersey last year.
Michigan has an unemployment rate of 14.6 percent, followed by Nevada 13.0, South Carolina 12.6, California 12.4, and District of Columbia 12.1. Most other states have unemployment rates above 10 percent, this is unacceptable.
The recent Healthcare Summit is a good example of just how Washington has wasted time and energy on healthcare.
Americans deserve better from our leaders in Washington. In November, the American people have a chance to right the wrong and remove those unwilling to do the will of the people. Let’s send a strong message to Congress in 2010.

The long anticipated Healthcare Summit was more of a debate lacking any form of discussion. The first half of the debate centered on Democrat and Republican “Philosophical Differences”, which seemed to be the theme during the first 3 hours.
