President Obama Health Care Reform

As a lay in bed listening to Obama give his speech, I fade in and out and thing about my own personal journey with the healthcare system. How I’ve been caught up in a profitable war that has nothing to do with the sick and their well being, just like millions of others. I listen and wonder if universal healthcare is going to even work effectively like we hope. Will this make us trust our doctors more? Will this make the pharmaceutical industry be honest? Will our outlook on health change nationwide? I’m not sure if I hold the answer to that question, but I don’t think this is something the country has put into motion. Universal healthcare isn’t going to fix it all. We have to fix ourselves first.

And Joe Wilson just couldn’t help himself huh? If he is right and Obama does lie, (which I’m sure he does. He’s a politician) how would he be any different from our last handful of presidents and beyond? Lying comes with the job description.

Let’s just say Obama is one hell of an actor. Don’t be surprised if he mysteriously slips up and wins an Oscar for Best Actor.

Well Delivered Commencement : John Legend

Democracy NOW! provided video from John Legend’s commencement address to his alma mater, University of Pennsylvania. He is a very strong public speaker and has become very active in using his social status as a catalyst for social change. I admire that in artists who don’t lose sight of the cause and get caught up in the mass hoopla.

“From the war in Iraq to credit-default swaps to the internet bubble to the real estate bubble, too often we got caught up in the hype and fail to see the real truth too often, we become apathetic. We see the lies, we see the obfuscation, the deception. And we fail to point it out. Were afraid to rain on the parade, afraid to rock the boat, afraid to pursue the truth.” -John Legend

Watch for yourself.
