When Obama was campaigning for President, he promised not only an open government, but also that the people will be able to view the various bills before they are voted on, but now that he has won, both of those campaign promises have fallen by the wayside.

Since he has been in office, everything with him has been a dire emergency. Everything has to be passed in Congress NOW! The 'bailouts', 'the stimulus package', 'getting Sotomayor confirmed', everything. Now Obama claims that it is s dire emergency that Congress passes the government-run health care program, one of the most intricate and wide-ranging government takeover of the health care industry in the history of the United States, and it MUST be accomplished by the end of this year or we will face a real economic crisis.

I get the sense that every time Obama opens his mouth, he is threatening the American people. He has used the same fear-based vocabulary for every one of his indefensible policies, and I personally am sick of it. Remember when he threatened the American people when he stated that his stimulus package had to be passed without delay or we would see 8.7 percent unemployment? So it was rushed through Congress without even one single member of Congress even reading it, and we end up with nearly 10 percent unemployment.

Every time Obama wants to ram one of his programs through Congress or down our throats, he says, "The cost of inaction is unacceptable." To him, ACTION means getting his way and enacting whatever policy or program he happens to want to shove down our throats at the time.

Just what is this man's hurry, is there some hidden agenda that makes it imperative that he destroy America completely before the end of his first year in office? Why the rush, what exactly does he have in mind for us next year?

Obama talks a good game, but his words are lies on top of lies. How many times has he told us that if we are happy with our current health care coverage and our doctor, we will be able to keep them under his plan? But when you scrape off crappy veneer and take the time to really look at his plan, you will discover the truth. Obama's health care reform contains the very real possibility to not only destroy the health care industry, but also OUR freedom to choose our own doctors, our treatment and our health care insurance provider, by driving out all private health insurance providers, which will lead to an escalation of costs which will have to be sucked up by the taxpayers. It will also lead to a diminished quality of care while the government ends up with a health care monopoly.

I believe that a radical takeover of one-sixth of our entire economy is entitled to a careful study, and it deserves a lot more than, "It MUST be done NOW." Besides, Obama's first concern right now should be on reviving the economy, not on adding trillions of dollars to our national debt every day.

I cannot figure out if Obama just doesn't know that as long as our economy shows no sign of recovery, his popularity keeps declining, or is it that he just doesn't care? There is a good possibility that the Democrats will lose a number of seats in both the House and the Senate (which will be a good thing) in 2010.

Obama is forcing extremely radical liberal policies on an electorate that sees itself --78 percent in this past Election Day exit poll -- as either conservative or moderate. The Liberals argue the public has been radicalized by the economic crisis, a crisis that Obama had a hand in creating while he was a U.S. Senator. So, could it be that Obama desperately needs to force his agenda through Congress before We the People discover what he is up to? If that is the case, then time is NOT on his side.
