Durbin: Obama ready to deal on health care :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: 44: Barack Obama

I have to admit, Senator Durbin is doing this "meeting" thing right. Meet with small business owners and get the skinny on what's on their minds, and what they would like to see in this legislation. The next move is going out to the people, get their perspective, combine them all together, and come up with legislation for the good of all.

I've took an interest in watching some of these town-hall meetings, and have to say, it's a mixed bag depending on which party you watch. Naturally, the republican side is anti-Obama, so it's no surprise when you watch those meetings, the hate is just at a fever pitch. On the democratic side, much misinformation has filtered into those town-halls.

Some of the questions asked, just do not have anything to do with health care. The majority question asked congressional representatives is; "What part of the Constitution gives Government the authority to initiate health care reform"? Well that's easy to answer. The legislative body, the Congress, permitted it passes judicial standards.

Other than that, I don't understand why people, poor, middle class, and such, are shilling for the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. I guess old Forrest Gump was right. "Stupid is, as Stupid does".
