Public Opinion: President-elect Barack Obama

HEALTH PLAN

president obama,

I worked for your campaing, and I knew you could make a huge change for our ecomomy.

There are some issues still have been negleted: bring back the military from Iraq, and the health plan. Righ now you are working for a health care reform. I desagree you are paying more attention on increasing medical tax, rather than deducting tax from the ver rich. Remember President Obama, these Dr. have to pay back their students loan. If you clearly are going after Dr's income, what don't you go after their lender. Many lenders are getting rich. Also PN are taking care of patients with "commom sypmtons". How the identify? some illness are asymptomatic. Just becuase it is a low cost, but it can also cost the lives of many patients. I wish you would work on preventing these nurse practice, and locate these nurses practice. Also, I believe you should work on centralize drugs cover, and place it into federal. For example, Medicare should be the coverage for drugs (gov. should be the carrier) and not the private sector. This would prevent corrupcion and overcharges to seniors who can not pay for their premiu.

President Obama, with all my respect, I still thinking that some area of the economic is improving, but some private sector still untouch. Therefore, we still (low middle class) paying for the mismanagemnt, and corruption of the privete sector.

It really make me sad, that promeses to bring back the miliatary still uncertain.

You also have neglet it employment, and the education. These are also priorities thata are very important to address in a very pront fasion. Observe Presient Obama that violence has increse in New York, and New Jersey. Increase jobs without descriminations of ages or gender. I'm 62 years old, with 2 Masters degree and and 2 1/2 of medicine, and I have to beg to have a partime position, with a wage of $10.00 p/h.

Please, stop cutting taxes to the multimilionary people, no to docters that have studying hard, and spend year and years paying those lenders twice the incial loans,

Prevent the nurses practice of taking care of "commom illness" because they really are limiting in finding out a patients pragnosis. These practice happens on poor neighborhoods.

Create jobs for all ages

Improve the educations system

Increase taxes to the banks

Force the bank to minimize loan interest

Gov. should be the drugs cover, not the private sectors. All the premium we are paying, instead fo going to the private sector packets, will go to the gov.

Please Presidente Obama I believe in and I believed on your promeses. That's the only reason I worked so hard for you campaing!

The "War on Drugs"

Now that everyone's moved on to bigger and bader topics.I recall all the money wasted on trying to eliminate hard drugs in this country to no avail, Now at lease we know what country they are growing in, our troops are walking through the poppy fields.You would think this would be a concern.

Obama won't be caught smoking in the White House

I just read an article where President-elect Barack Obama stated that he thinks that he will not be caught smoking in the "smoke free" White House. I'm here to tell all of the non smokers of the world that if the man needs/wants a cigarette, let him have a place to smoke! I have tried to quit so many times, and I'll tell you what..a major nicotine fit prevents a person from concentrating or thinking clearly. I make my best decisions and am so much more productive when I can smoke freely. I do not smoke in my home. Out of respect for my family, who are all non smokers, I step outside on my deck to light up. As soon as I re-enter the house after my cigarette, I wash my hands and pop a mint in my mouth. I am sick and tired of people thinking they have the right to tell others not to smoke because of second hand smoke dangers. I truly believe that the same people are really just tired of smelling the nasty smell of cigarette smoke. If they told us to put out the cigarettes because they stink, it wouldn't get them anywhere. So they pretend to be worried about their health, because then the smokers are made to feel guilty for trying to "murder" all of the non smokers by forcing our smoke into their lungs. We all have a bigger chance of getting killed instantly by getting into our cars every day. But we won't stop driving will we? Not even if walking, instead of driving, is proven to be so much better for our health? Oh wait! That HAS already been proven! So why are all of you non smokers still risking your lives by riding in a car? While you think of an excuse for that one..I'm going out on my deck for a cigarette. I've never seen the White House, I'm sure I never will, but I'm guessing from all of the pictures of it that I've seen, that it has to be pretty massive in size. Surely, there's at least one small room on the top floor somewhere that the President and his smoking guests could sneak off to for a cigarette. I say TOP floor in respect to non smokers, because smoke RISES. Anyway...Mr. President, if there's any chance of you reading this, then I say, "Stop letting people control you in regards to your own body! Smoking is not illegal or immoral. Yeah, it stinks. I can't even stand the smell of it. But I certainly enjoy about 15 cigarettes every day.
