BloggeRhythms 2/12/2013

Baltimore neurosurgeon, Dr. Benjamin Carson, who addressed the National Prayer Breakfast last Thursday, was in the news again today. According to an article from realclearpolitics.com via Drudge, he told them that "Somebody Has To Stand Up To The Bullies," regarding Obamacare.
 
However the thing that really stands out to me is, not only the fact that there we have a renown practitioner pointing out the horrendous flaws in the program, but also making some very valid points about how poor the administration's present attitude is overall.   
 
Here’s the paragraph that got my attention: “One of the things I also said during the speech is there will be some people who will say, 'but you’re a doctor and you’re a surgeon, you should be sticking to that.' And I mentioned the fact that five physicians signed the Declaration of Independence and were involved in the framing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and several other things.”
 
With his commentary I believe the doctor hit the nail on the head regarding not only health care, but just about every aspect of governance the administration goes near. Because decision-making’s presently being done almost solely by politicians, and not even good one’s at that, who know virtually nothing about the things they make decisions about. And that starts straight right from the top whereas the incumbent himself’s nothing more than a political hack with a teleprompter crutch. And I have no idea who authors what scrolls down his screen, but from what I hear every day, the writer doesn’t know too much either.
 
So, I think if you take a moment and sit back and let the various currently problematic issues scroll through your mind, I believe you’ll concur with the doctor’s health care premise about all of them. Because whether it’s the economy, immigration, energy, foreign affairs, education, national security, welfare reform and on and on, every one of them’s being influenced by politics first. And what’s even worse is, not only doesn’t this administration understand how most things in the nation function, the vast majority of those in its party and employ know even less.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
