		<description>Thanks for writing about this. There&#039;s a bunch of important tech info on the internet. You&#039;ve got a lot of that info here on your website. I&#039;m impressed - I try to keep a couple blogs fairly current, but it&#039;s a struggle sometimes. You&#039;ve done a great job with this one. How do you do it?</description>

		<description>Swine flu is nothing compared to bird flu or the Spanish flu (from WWI).  I am not going to lose any sleep over this one.  It has just hit Great Britian hard and they have thousands and thousands of cases with 14 deaths.  The regular flu season in America kills 36,000 people.  Get your facts strait jacky boy.    

Oh, but wait STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, flu season is coming, the sky is falling, my pants are on fire, it&#039;s the end I say!  GOOD VS. EVIL.  AHHHHHHHHHH!

Jack not be nimble, Jack not be quick, Jack be worried about getting sick.  Somebody is drinking the bong water.</description>

		<description>OMG, I would just love to see Obama try to force healtcare change down our throats by declaring a state of emergency.  I&#039; still laughing at that one.  What planet are you from?  A state of emergency is temporary and does not include the legislative process.  What a clown!

As to Obama doing a great job - have you seen the polls recently?  Do you read anything at all, or just watch Olberman on MSNBC?

I have to say Jacksmith that you are quite entertaining.</description>

		<description>Jacksmith,

Wow, you must drink a lot of kool aid during the day.  First of all, we are more prepared to deal with swine flu than any other country.  Don&#039;t confuse healthcare with first responders and emergency reactive measures - it makes you look dumb.  Second, the statistic you state is from a biased source - you just won&#039;t admit it.  Like most liberals, you will use junk science (think global warming - if you are capable of thinking) to trick the public into a miserable little existence; quite like your own.  I guess misery does love company.

By the way, read my most recent blog post.  The House Blue Dog Dems are bucking the leadership on healthcare.  I don&#039;t think you are going to get anything even close to what you want.  

Sorry to disappoint you, but regular American&#039;s took your advice on calling their representatives and senators on cap-and-trade and also healthcare, thanks to Michelle Malkin and others like her.  Given that Barbara Boxer has pushed out the date for cap-and-trade to September is a sign it is all but dead and the news concerning healthcare is not looking too good for Obama.  Given his sliding poll numbers, it is only going to get more difficult.  Still, if you get your wish, I will rest easy knowing that your misery will only increase as you realize the incredible mistake you have made being a mindless robot of the left.  Too bad others would have to suffer along with you.</description>

		<description>AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!

It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.

STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America. 

And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.

Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and request that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).

Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.

In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!

If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! He’s doing a brilliant job. 

THIS IS THE BIG ONE!

THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!

Join the fight.

Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!

God Bless You
