Obama has said he wanted us to "make him" do what we want. Let's oblige him.

17. I believe the single payer healthcare is the system of choice for most liberals.

The Clintons tried for it in 1993. It didn't even get off the ground. The GOP
were fighting it tooth and nail. Nearly 20 years later Obama was successful,
but up to a point only. He compromised too much. Still, there are some
important gains: Pre-existing illnesses can no longer be excluded by insurance
cos., children can be covered under their parents' health plans up to age 26, instead
of the previous age 18....In 2 years 30 million more Americans will be able to buy
health insurance. That would still leave 17 million with no insurance at all -- but
it's far better than the present 47 million without health insurance.

I put it to the pathological greed of the corporate world. This applies not only in
the health insurance, but in just about almost every other field. Too many
sociopaths are in high positions in the right-wing corporate as well as political
world. And these are the ones who create problems with their uncontrollable
greed wherever they go.

I hope Obama has learned his lessons in the past 4 years, and now understands what kind of people he is dealing with. These people belong to the type who would try to take a mile if you gave them an inch. Treat them like gentlemen, and they'only take advantage of you and laugh at you for your "stupidity." A high number of them are sociopaths. Having a defective sense of morality, they feel neither pride, nor shame, and it is absolutely a waste of time to appeal to these qualities, because they are totally absent in sociopaths. They respect only strength. They can be made to do things only because they are afraid of the consequences, if they did not comply. That is why they so often resort to fear tactics as political tools,
because fear is what they, themselves, respond to.

These people may be highly educated, but their instincts are among the most
primitive. These are primitives with their moral development arrested at the
stage of the small child. And they can grow no further. The normal child can and
does.

And obama has to deal with them. I don't envy him. I think he should consult
with mental health professionals with expertise in sociopathy on how to deal
with them. These are not normal people.
