Things Could Be Very Bad for Americans/ Vote for Obama

     A civilized society has a certain amount of assistance for the disabled, elderly, children, pregnant women and newborns if they cannot afford medical treatment.  I see people saying the poor have it made.  This is a lie.  It is very hard to live on disability.  Even if poor people get food stamps, it is usually only a very small supplement.  Poor kids should have Medicaid.  What would happen to these people, especially children, old people and people with disabilities requiring medical assistance, if they were to lose Medicaid?  And, Medicare must stay secure and not privatized or a voucher system as well as the V.A..
     I realize some people have different reasons for being a Democrat.  I think for the middle class, it would be better under President Obama than Mitt Romney.  To think of a few, taxes would be lower and higher for the rich, so that some of your tax money might actually help the poor more than the rich.  And, the middle class and poor would be able to get pele grants to go to college or for their kids to go to college.  Then there is health care for everyone at a low cost and being able to insure kids til they are twenty-five on your policy.  
    Also, President Obama is very pro-Israel, more so than some Democrats and I love that.  I sympathize with Palestine, I truly do, but Israel is our ally.  Still, we would be at peace, whereas the Republicans would just keep spending on wars we do not need to be in anymore.  He also brings God into it, and although some people like complete separation in Church and State, I like some God in the government.  I really do.  President Obama is more conservative than people realize.  I like that.  I mean, I am basically a liberal, but as you know I have some conservative views.  
     I know that choice is important for women.  I do want women to have choice, but truthfully I find this irrelevant in my own philosophy, having never confronted that in any way.  Having kids was always priority for me, and I had to fight to keep a baby, because of complications of my own body.  Sometimes, when you have had to fight for a baby, you cannot relate to someone not wanting one, but truthfully women have a choice, and it is their business I guess.  I realize I waver on this one issue, and some of my readers may think I have had as many different views on this as Mitt Romney.  Joke.  But, seriously I do not like the 'a' word, if you know what I mean.  Still I will support President Obama one-hundred percent.  And, I will support all women as sisters and whatever their choice is.
     When I acted crazy on fb one night, and hysterical, I guess I was upset because birth control has always been free to women, but I will not get into my own issues again.  I already took a fearless and searching moral inventory of myself and why I got so upset.  So, I will just leave it at that.
     I had an Australian guy tell me if I were to marry an Australian and move to Australia that the government would take care of me being legally blind and all.  It was not a proposal.  He is already married.  It was a suggestion.  However, I want to stay in America, the greatest nation on earth.  I am so not interested in going to Australia.
     I am not a socialist, but every great nation needs some socialism.  What do they think libraries are?  And the list goes on.  I just do not believe that putting the poor in jeopardy and trickle down economics is ever going to work.  It is good to help the poor who can work get back to work.  That is what we all want.  But, realistically poverty cannot be erased and not caring is not the answer.
     If the U.S. makes it impossible for citizens to live, they will have two choices, leave the country or protest the government.  And, who wants to leave one's own country?  Who can afford a plane ticket, a passport?  I sure cannot.  No one wants to protest either.  That would not be much fun at all, getting maced in the face like the peaceful Wall Street protesters.  I am not suggesting anything, just pointing it out.  I am very patriotic.  I love this country as we know it.
      Just read Naomi Wolf's book: Warning to a Young Patriot; the End of America.  If anyone watched the shocking youtube video I posted of Paul Ryan at a town hall meeting, allowing an ex-marine to make offensive comments towards Mexicans, nodding his head in agreement all the while and even taking notes, then shuts down a woman who not out of line at all, tries to say that this is racist talk, and she gets removed from the room by police.  Is this freedom?  No, it is not.  Is this the kind of regime America is headed for?  No, it is not.  I am a patriot.  Vote for Barack Obama.
