A Preview of Obamacare: 81% of Voters Disagree with Government Rationed Health Care Mammogram Rules
There is a reason why America rejects the notion that there should not be early detection of breast cancer for woman in their 40’s. We have all been touched be the deadly disease of breast cancer and the battle against the dreaded cancer transcends genders.
There is a reason why 81% of voters disagree the the new government rationed health care mammography suggestions from the so called Government Task force independent panel. Only 8% agree with the panels recommendations that woman not get early screenings in their 40’s. It is about the hypocritic oath, not the bottom line.
A federal medical panel’s recommendation that women can now wait until age 50 to get a routine mammogram instead of age 40 is stirring up strong debate. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 81% of adults disagree with the panel’s recommendation. Just nine percent (8%) agree with the new guideline, and another nine percent (9%) are not sure.
Why did not many people go ballistic when these new rationed health care guide lines came out? Maybe because about 75% of people know some one who has had breast cancer. This coming at the most in opportune time has Americans do not trust and do not want government healthcare or suggestions that it should be rationed.
Survivors of breast cancer, woman of all ages and backgrounds.
Breast cancer does not discriminate
Some want to call it communications malpractice; however, let’s call it for what it really is … rationed care. It is the foot in the door for a government health care bureaucracy limiting medical services to save money. Let us get one fact completely straight without a liberal slant of its about the way the message was presented, not the actually message. There is a reason why the mortality rate in the US is greater for women diagnosed with breast cancer than Europe. It’s called early screening!!! The Gateway Pundit provides some great informational numbers to just how much better the US is a dealing with breast cancer than places like Europe with socialized health care.
Researchers discovered that it was because of breast cancer screenings that women with breast cancer have a 14 percent higher survival rate in the United States than in Europe. Breast cancer mortality is 52 percent higher in Germany than in the United States, and 88 percent higher in the United Kingdom. Breast cancer mortality is also 9 percent higher in Canada than in the US. Less than 25 percent of U.S. women die from breast cancer. In Britain, it’s 46 percent; France, 35 percent; Germany, 31 percent; Canada, 28 percent; Australia, 28 percent, and New Zealand, 46 percent.
AMERICA, why do you think that the US has such better survival rates from cancer than these other countries listed? Hmm? Because our health care system is broken like the agenda driven government control Democrats would like you to believe? It is called early detection and quality health care. Try telling a surviver of breast cancer that her mammogram was a waste.
Could this government panel have picked a worse form of cancer or manner to diagnose it than breast cancer and mammograms? In October during Brest Cancer Awareness month, the NFL supported the cause and designated games and gear to provide awareness. He-man football players who would never be caught wearing pink, proudly supported the Breast Cancer cause.
Sadly, just recently Stefanie Spielman, the wife of NFL and Ohio State star Chris Spielman who led a public fight against breast cancer, died after a lengthy battle with the disease. She was 42. Yes, that is correct Independent Government Health Care panel, she died of breast cancer before the age you even recommend that woman be provided mammograms.
Stefanie & Chris Spielman
Stefanie Spielman was 30 years old and three months pregnant in 1998 when she detected a lump in her breast. She later miscarried and discovered she had cancer. She survived four bouts with cancer before a fifth recurrence in March.
Chris Spielman was playing linebacker with the Buffalo Bills when he decided to give up football for a year to stay home with his wife and children. When his wife lost her hair because of chemotherapy treatments, he shaved his head.
Earlier this year breast cancer was thrust upon the PGA and the men’s golfing tour when Left, Phil Mickelson’s wife Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer. Mickelson left the tour to be with his wife as her treatments began. The visibility that breast cancer has been given has been tremendous because as so many have learned with this awful disease is that it does not discriminate.

49% of Americans Rate US Healthcare System Good or Excellent … Bad News For Obamacare
The health care polling trend spells doom for Obama and Democrats.
Why do Democrats and Barack Obama find themselves in a predicament for the upcoming 2010 and 2012 elections? One reason, among many, is that they are on the wrong side of history with Obamacare. 49% of voters say that the US health care system is good or excellent, while only 27% say that it is poor.
Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters nationwide now rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent. That marks a steady increase from 44% at the beginning of October, 35% in May and 29% a year-and-a-half ago.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 27% now say the U.S. health care system is poor.
The trend has been that more and more Americans consider their present health care system good or excellent as more Americans than ever now oppose the government take over of healthcare … 56% now oppose Obamacare. However, the more that Americans resist Obamacare, the less Obama and Democrats listen to the people and cram it down their throats.
Presently, only 27% of voters thinks that the US health care system is poor. That is what Democrats can look forward to as their voting base in 2010.

Barack Obama, a Picture and a Bow are Worth a Thousand Words … An Image of a Bowing a Lasting Legacy
The Bow has become the Presidential image of Barack Obama …
Barack Obama knows that image is everything. The One also knows that perception is every thing in the political and media world. This is how Obama won the Presidency. It was not on policy, his credentials or anything that he had done as a politicians as he had accomplished nothing in his career. Obama was elected on a fabricated image and the perception that he was a moderate that would bridge the gap and reach across the aisle to Republicans.
The image of bowing to others is that one can never lead, only follow
Yet, for some reason Barack Hussein Obama and his handlers have seen fit to destroy that moderate image and the lasting image has been one that he bows down to others over and over and over again. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a bow worth? Can you say a legacy and a lasting image that no President of the United States should ever want.
Peggy Noonan pens a brutal and frank essay of Barack Obama and his bows, “He Can’t Take Another Bow: An icon of a White House that is coming to seem amateurish.’
He added that rather than bowing to emperors—Mr. Obama “seems to do this stuff spontaneously and inexplicably”—he should begin to bow to “the voices of experience” in Washington.
When longtime political observers start calling for wise men, a president is in trouble.
…
Mr Obama is in a hard place. Health care hangs over him, and if he is lucky he will lose a close vote in the Senate. The common wisdom that he can’t afford to lose is exactly wrong—he can’t afford to win with such a poor piece of legislation. He needs to get the issue behind him, vow to fight another day, and move on. Afghanistan hangs over him, threatening the unity of his own Democratic congressional base. There is the growing perception of incompetence, of the inability to run the machine of government. This, with Americans, is worse than Obama’s rebranding as a leader who governs from the left. Americans demand baseline competence. If he comes to be seen as Jimmy Carter was, that the job was bigger than the man, that will be the end.
Which gets us back to the bow.

RUT-ROH … Tiger Woods SUV Accident Occurred after “Domestic Issue” with Wife Elin Nordegren
It might be the most reported low speed crash ever … However, this is what happens when one of the most famous athletes in the world creates news during a slow holiday news cycle.
Elin Nordegrentiger & Tiger Woods
The media frenzy following the early morning crash of Tiger Woods SUV into a fire hydrant quickly spread like wild fire and the speculation that Woods, the worlds best golfer, was seriously injured was headlines everywhere. Questions abound as the SUV accident occurred at 2:25 AM Friday morning as Tiger Woods was leaving his gated community residence. It was reported that his wife used one of his golf clubs to smash the car window and ragged her husband out of his 2009 Cadillac Escalade.
The story just sounding a bit strange, especially when police were stating that alcohol was not involved. Some thing out of the ordinary would have caused Woods to get into his SUV at 2:00 in the morning. There are reports that Woods and his wife argued before the accident, one Florida law enforcement official called it “a domestic issue.” Could this be the reason for the argument?
By the time a Windermere police officer arrived about 2:25 a.m., Elin Nordegren Woods had dragged her husband out of his 2009 Cadillac Escalade. He was lying on the ground, dazed and bleeding from his lips and with blood in his mouth, Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn said.
The crash knocked Tiger Woods, 33, unconscious for about six minutes, according to a call report compiled by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and obtained by the Orlando Sentinel. Bruhn said the golfer faded in and out of consciousness.
Windermere police Chief Daniel Saylor said that officers found Woods lying in the street with his wife hovering over him. “She was frantic, upset …”
RUT-ROH, according to TMZ the injuries that Tiger Woods sustained to were not caused by the car accident, but by his wife Elin Nordegren.
We’re told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We’re told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV — but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.
We’re told Woods became “distracted,” thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.
Looks like The Astute Blogger had this story pegged all along. Nice job in the speculation of possible “domestic violence”. Kudos! It would appear that Tiger Woods is human after all. That is outside of a golf course.
SO… IF TIGER IS NOT A GOD IN HIS HOME-LIFE, (BUT LIKE ANYBODY WITH SERIOUS MARITAL PROBLEMS), THEN COULD THE ABOVE STORY I TOTALLY I MADE UP ABOUT A WHITE TRASH COUPLE POSSIBLY EXPLAIN WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO TIGER?
59% of Americans Believe Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) Should be Tried in Military Court … Obama in Opposition of the People Again
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm … Barack Hussein Obama:
Once again President Barack Hussein Obama finds himself on the wring side of the American people and history. By an overwhelming 59% to 36%, Americans believe accused September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in a military court, rather than in a civilian criminal court.
Is it any wonder why Barack Obama’s approval rating continues to go down? The Obamamessiah continues to thumb his nose at the will of the American people and the main stream view on dealing with issues. Nothing this President does is popular with the American people. Get ready for his poll numbers to sink like a rock.
Poll conducted Nov. 20-22 USA Today/Gallup poll
Once again Obama is seen to only be pandering to his Democrat base with this decision. Republicans disagree with KSM being tried in a civilian criminal court by 74% to 22%. But more important to Obama’s approval numbers is that by an astounding 63% to 32% Independents disapprove of Obama’s choice.
As The Astute Blogger questions, how long will it take Obama to throw Holder under the bus to save face.
Beware of the bus, Obama is at the wheel
However, Barack Obama claims it was not his decision, but that of Attorney General Eric Holder. The AG announced that Mohammed+’s case would move from a military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay, where the admitted terrorist was originally charged, to a federal court in New York City. Obama had Holder go out on a limb with this decision to obviously provide cover for The One. In no way should any one but the President make the decision to change venues of a military tribunal to a civilian criminal court. In this case, the dithering President opted to have the buck stop with some one else. However, Obama can throw Holder under the bus if needed when the American people turn even more against this decision.
