This is big news folks. The biggest liberal icon is publicly telling
the President what to do or else. This is a major bitchslap to Obama
in the national spotlight.
Who would have thought something like this could have happened this
early or at all in the new Obama liberal era? An era that was supposed
to bring in 40 years of liberal rule!
As the liberals self-destruct exactly as I predicted, they continue to
desperately divert attention and attack the popular right wing TV star
Glenn Beck and the $7 million dollar wonder woman, Sarah Palin, but to
no avail... this administration has been going backwards since day
one.

Michael Moore to President Obama: Don’t ‘Desert’ Your Fellow Liberals
September 29, 2009 4:03 PM
Those votes in the Senate Finance Committee against a public option
can't have made him happy, but Michael Moore is making the rounds in
DC today.
Filmmaker Michael Moore urged President Obama on Tuesday to abandon
the split-the-difference strategy he has pursued on health-care reform
and to take up arms with liberals who are pushing to create a
government-run health-care plan which would be open to all Americans.
Speaking at the Washington, D.C., offices of Public Citizen, Moore
said that Democrats could lose their grip on Congress next year if
they fail to make government insurance available to all Americans.
“We reject any bill that doesn’t have -- as a minimum -- a public
option available to all Americans,” said Moore.
Moore said that a health-care bill which requires all Americans to buy
into the private health insurance system -- even one that is newly
regulated and subsidized -- would be unacceptable.
“If it’s just this mandated health insurance . . . we reject that out
of hand,” said Moore.
Moore, who was in the nation’s capital for a screening of his new
movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” argued that President Obama
blundered on health-care reform by not beginning the debate by pushing
the kind of single-payer, Medicare for all, health-care system that
the Illinois Democrat favored at one point while running for the U.S.
Senate in 2003.
“Don’t take our votes for granted,” said Moore. “If you think we’re
just going to go along with you just because you’re Democrats, think
again.”

OUCH!
Who cares the union insurance plans are protected. Which reminds
me... My UAW plan gives me 20 free sessions with a psychiatrist every
year, I have not used any of them this year. It would be a shame to
"waste" them, so I'm thinking of using my 20 sessions to maybe get
some hypnosis or talk-therapy to improve my guitar playing. It's
October so I better start making some appointments so as not to waste
my insurance plan benefits. I think I get 2 free pairs of glasses a
year too, I dont wear glasses, but I think I'll get some sunglasses
anyway so as not to waste that benefit either. I have a few dentist
appointments to use up too. etc. etc. etc. Next year I have to start
using the benefits earlier in the year, so I'm not cramming them all
into the last quarter. I love private health insurance, its great.
