The Last Push of Interesting Information …

• I think that’s why they call it the Liberal Media.  It really is amazing to witness the disparity happen and to see who each show favors.  Even with Palin & McCain on SNL most of the shows jokes we’re done to make the GOP supports look like idiots (i.e. Elizabeth Hasselbeck).  Even the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror show, where Matt Groening is known to be a rabid DNC supporter, made fun of the GOP.  It was funny nonetheless but one can really tell who they’re trying to influenced.  Plus the few times I’ve seen Obama get satarized everyone yelled racists.  Sad.  Sad.  Sad.  But then again that’s the world we live in.
• Another example of lack of negative press on Obama was how there wasn’t much news about how Obama’s aunt is in the country illegally.  Not that I hold anything against him about it since I’m sure there are relatives that we know but really know nothing about.  What’s interesting is how there was no correlation to what his stance on illegal immegatraion is.  Nothing.  However, when folks found out that they spent $150,000 on Palin’s clothing there was a fit!  They spent that much money on clothing when people are suffering through this economy.  Which ironically she was helping by spending money.  Again, people have no clue what is going on but are only presented one side of the coin if that.
• Lastly, it’s funny to see NObama stickers.  Mostly because I think Obama supporters see it as a NO ‘Bama sticker since Alabama just rose to #1 in the BCS standings.  Must be a lot of Alabama haters out there. 

A or B?

Apparently I need to have surgery.    Thankfully it’s not life-or-death surgery but it’s nonetheless surgery and could greatly affect my future quality of life.  After talking with our insurance company about what my options are there’s basically only two people in this area that accept our insurance.  So I’ve already begun the process of determining which doctor to choose.  Unfortunately, they’re vastly different and choosing between the two has been a dilemma for us.  To describe the two would be as such:

Doctor A has actually only been a doctor for a few years.  He does seem to be intelligent but his actual practical experience is somewhat lacking.  There are many potential risks during the surgery that he may not know how to deal with; which could decrease the likelihood of a successful surgery.  However, I do have to say that he is extremely polite and tells us exactly what we would want to hear as a potential patient.  He does make me feel at ease which points to a good bedside manner.

Doctor B is almost the opposite of Doctor A.  Doctor B has been in the field for an extremely long time and also is well versed in various other medical fields which with all the possible risks in the surgery I would expect him to be better suited to handle any unexpected issues.  The bad side is that he really has no bedside manner.  He tells me exactly what I don’t want hear such as what the risks are and if things go wrong how that will effect the rest of my life.

Knowing there is risk involved in this surgery which would you choose?  The one with experience and is basically blunt or the one who is a smoother talker but lacks the experience to potentially handle all the risks involved.

How does everyone else choose their doctors? 
Is it the same way they choose who they elect for public office?

I Am Reaching For the Kool-Aid …

That 30-minute commercial by Obama was truly persuasive.  It made me realize how much of a fool that I’ve been.  These are my new found reasons for making my change:

• It really is about the middle class.  Forget the principals of macroeconomics and the global community (even beyond the G8) I need to be thinking about myself.  It’s what a big government can do for me.  It’s my money, my country and the current world issues are meaningless to me because they don’t give me anything.  It’s all about me.  Only one candidate is campaigning on this idea.  And you know who it is.  Obama.  That’s who.
• The story about the family who didn’t have enough money to pay their bills or buy food.  That was so touching.  I was in tears!  We need a leader that is gonna help these people out.; these people with stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator/freezer units, granite countertops, kitchen islands and spend $25 to go out to eat instead of cooking.  OMG, THESE PEOPLE NEED HELP!!!!!
• Obama is going to give a tax credit to those who create jobs in the U.S. like when a new Walmart or McDonalds opens up.  He’s gonna tax those companies who ship jobs out of the country to keep their profits up and the cost of their goods lower for consumers.  That’s exactly what we want!  We want low paying, unskilled jobs and higher costing consumer goods.  That’s why we invest in education.
• Our children are growing up to be idiots because our school systems are
  not spending enough per child.  We all know that increasing spending
  per child is the only way to make them want to learn.  They do say
  “just throw more money at a problem and the problem goes away”.  We
  thank you D.C. public school system for showing us the light before
  Chancellor Rhee got hired.  That lady is ruining everything for each
  and every D.C. school teacher.
• The government is doing wonders with all their programs for improving school aptitude testing, welfare, FEMA, HUD, etc.  It only makes sense to let the government take control of health care.  Airport security was taken over by the government and look how much safer our planes are!
• If I don’t vote for him, I’ll be labeled a racist.  Obama is young and hip.  You see how he uses the fist handshake with people.  He’s intouch with me.
• Plus, Chewy found out she went to High School with Obama’s kid sister’s husband.  I’m practically related to Obama now.
