Obama Asks Us to Take Responsibility: This isn't Bizarro World, It's Parody Earth (pt 2)

Let's review:

On Sunday September 20, 2009, President Barack Obama gave interviews to a number of Sunday morning talk shows to talk about, among other things, his plan for health care reform in America. A September 20, 2009 article on Bloomberg.com explains:

"For us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase," Obama said in an interview on ABC's "This Week" program. "Right now everybody in America, just about, has to get auto insurance. Nobody considers that a tax increase."

This is what is really starting to make me sick about politicians. Ridiculous generalizations. However, while some folks are mad that he's comparing human health to the damage a car makes when it crashes, we miss what makes me even more sick to my stomach when it comes to politicians.

Blatant hypocrisy.

Sure, we're all hypocritical at some point in our lives. But come on, man--how ANYone in government thinks it's fair to point to the American people and tell US to be responsible is beyond me.

Seriously. The President of the United States wants me to be responsible about my health care.

How about you kiss my ass?

Since 2003, I've been eating 90% whole/real foods, avoiding anything processed when it's possible. No easy feat no thanks to the FDA and the FCC.

Seriously, folks, ya gotta ask yourself why sweeteners are added to FRUIT JUICE?

Why is there high fructose corn syrup in BREAD??

It's because the FDA says it's OK.

Why does practically EVERY commercial I see on TV during cartoons or other kids programming try to sell me sugared cereal or cookies or candy or soda or something else bad for me?

Why is it that the FCC allows advertisements for things that, if consumed to excess, WILL KILL YOU?

Cigarette ads on TV aren't legal, yet one cigarette a month won't kill anybody.

However, eat a pint of ice cream a day and you'll die of a coronary (and tax the health care system along the way).

Come on, Barry--it's your job as part of the government to PROTECT your citizens. THAT'S THE DEAL. But all you're doing is protecting the right of corporations to sell us shit that MAKES US SICK.

And you tell US to be responsible and pay for health insurance?
