Preview of President Obama’s health care summit…

First lets keep in mind that the President can not pass a law, he can sign a bill into law or veto it. What he can try to do is persuade law makers to pass a bill, or persuade the voters to call in and voice their concerns, urging law makers to pass the President’s bill.

This dog and pony show is for the President to make a personal appeal to you the American Voter. President Obama firmly believes he knows what’s best for the American people. Even after the voters have urged, demanded, begged and screamed for them to slow down on health care, and pass a bill that has real reform. Yet its plan to see that either the President and some Democrats don’t care what the people want, or they think they know better then we do.

On Thursday look for the story’s about those who died because they lacked health care, they will tug on your heart, it is sad when someone dies, no matter the cause. However time and time again, these story’s that President Obama and the other story tellers, like to tell are half truths at best.

While the President said he wanted to start over, he did not really mean that, what he meant was he would get directly involved in pushing this bill down our throats. He has already had Reid prepare the papers to pass this bill via reconciliation process,which in case you don’t know is supposed to be used for budget acts not a law like this, and gives the Democrats a chance of passing this since it will only require 51 votes, and guess who gets to break the tie? VP Biden…..

Lets all keep in mind the President has no intention of taking many or any ( I am guessing any ) parts of the Republican reform bill, and yes there has been one for a long time now. This is a public relations stunt nothing more nothing less.

You know the old saying don’t bite off more then you can chew? That’s what the President and the Democrats have done. Instead of taking a common sense approach to health care reform, the are trying to redesign the entire system. When a car beaks you don’t toss the car you fix what’s broken…. Why are they afraid of not passing this bill? Keep in mind unemployment is pretty high right now, the economy is still in the tank, yet they wish to keep working on this, instead of dealing with the tougher issues. Why??? Simple this is what every liberal has dreamed about for years, being able to tell those who are not as “smart” as them what’s best for them…. Don’t worry about putting food on your kids plate…….. we will give you health care ….. Wake up Washington !!!!!!!!! Is anyone listening? Is the mic on???

White House Press Secretary Gibbs said that he would like to see a Republican bill, then latter after finding out that the Republicans have had a bill drafted for over 6 months or more, he has Dan Pfeiffer, the White House Communications Director, post up on the Whitehouse.org a silly question and an excuse saying the White House knows the Republicans have many bills out there and have yet to be told which one it is they are putting on the table…

To me, what it seems like, is the plane took off with only one pilot, he bailed out, and those in charge are afraid to ask if anyone knows how to fly…..

If you have neck or back pain and living in Maryland, your very lucky. I have had surgery on my spine, and was still in pain and having numbness in my fingers…. When I asked the Surgeon his response was that’s better then before and it might get even better or stay the same. Well it had not gotten better, and since I work on computers its nice to be able to feel my fingers, so I asked some of my friends if they had heard of anything or anyone that could help. For awhile no luck, until I reconnected with an old friend from childhood. I will tell you the story of reconnecting another day, however as luck would have it Her husband is one of the Great Doctors who owns a chiropractic and wellness practice. I got to be honest, I played sports most of my life, and was ready to buy into what the surgeon told me about my hands being numb. So it was with great reluctance that I decided to try it. First he recommended a few Doctors in the Annapolis area, however being one of those people who think first impressions are key, and the two offices I called did not inspire me to make an appointment, I put it off again. One day my fingers and hands went totally numb again and I emailed my friend, asking her to set up and appointment with her Husband for me. Keep in mind this is an hour drive both ways for me, however I really wanted to feel my hands and fingers again.

First day was great my friend was not in the office however the Lady who checked me made me feel welcome and gave me one hell of a good first impression of the quality of people my friend hires. (It’s her husband that’s the Doctor but we all know who’s really in charge lol). Just to set the stage a bit, I had meet Dr.Shefts at a social setting and he seemed super cool, however being cool does not always mean being good at what you do. So I was a little worried… For a few reasons, one his wife is a person who’s known me for a very long time, and was and will always be one of those people that no matter how long its been since you have heard from them, you stop what your doing and rush to help out. (Not that she has every needed it) The second is I really like Lenny, my kind of people. What I mean by that is he says what’s on his mind, and leaves the drama and BS alone. I am not saying he agrees with my views since we have not really talked about all those things

Back to my visit, I was taken to a room, and asked to watch a video, I know first thing that came to my mind was all crap its a sales pitch, however I was wrong, it was about giving me some insight on how my spine works in relation to the rest of my body. Stuff I never real thought about. Then Dr.Shefts came in, he took a few x-rays and I was out the door. Next visit 2 days. First adjustment was nothing short of awesome, I could feel my fingers loving life! However that great feeling ended a few hours latter. Which unless my mind is messing with me again, is what he said to expect. 2 days latter back into the office, and with another adjustment, another great day, this lasted longer then the first and low and behold my pain levels went down. Keep in mind I can handle the pain, its the numbness in my fingers that bothers me. So the reduction in pain is a bonus. Who knew? I had no clue on how any of this worked, I had went through life treating my aliments with a band aid instead of getting the right fix. I have had more visits and with each on I am getting better and better.

Let me back up a bit here and say that my neck pain was not the reason I went in, nor was the pain in my back. I was only wanted to be able to feel my hands again. So having all of these extra things start to go away are a huge bonus.

I am on my second full week and had a great visit today! I am on my feet all weekend taking pictures of my two nephews football games as well as the rest of the Org’s game or as many as I can get to. So Mondays are pretty bad for me body wise. Today was the first Monday that I did not wake up with a body hangover. Meaning my body did not hurt all over (I gave up drinking awhile ago)first Monday that I can remember since I stopped drinking that I started the week feeling so good. Tonight I still feel good physically and mentally. Not sure what I would have done had I not reconnected again with Anita. I can only guess that I would have had my second surgery on my spine or at least have had the date set for it. With more time my back and neck pain may be gone, who knows? I do know that if my back and neck feel the way they feel right now, for more then 2 weeks its a major improvement.

I am looking forward to my next visit, how many of you can say that about going to the Doctor?
