Poll Shows Obama’s Clout on Health Care Is Eroding – NYTimes.com

Hey Mr. President,

Know your busy and all, but from down here …. we are a bit more concerned about putting gas in our cars and keeping the Madoff bankers on the other side of our front doors.

See, we don’t have helicopters, planes, private resorts at our disposal. I don’t have anyone walking my dog, or a staff making burgers not good enough for me so I take my ride, (all 26 of them) down to “Five Guys” and get some grease for the staff. I live in a very small rental, no car, and fighting to survive. Those crazies up the hospital only want cash for my medications and well, I just don’t have it right now.

Healthcare is a problem, no doubt and one that you and I both know will never be fixed. It just how it is. Hospitals will fail, funding and care for those of us down here will continue to be cut. Now, the minute an insurance company is facing bankruptcy I think the lesson from AIG should ring loud and clear. Just tell’em no. Don’t worry, they will file with the court, because George made sure they would get more protections then us, they will get through it, I promise. (Now that is my free advice to you, see, we didn’t need a lobbyist at all.)

All I am saying is, drop this hopeless fight. You aren’t gonna win, and we down here have already lost. Pick your battles better, do something that will bring a change to us down here.

Thank you

President Obama’s ability to shape the debate on health care appears to be eroding as opponents aggressively portray the effort as a government takeover that could limit Americans’ ability to chose their doctors and course of treatment, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
