I am really pleased that President Obama has chosen to tackle the health care issue.

He looked at the future budgets and found that the cost of health care was the major driving force of deficits. There was no close second.

He then bravely decided to try to fix this problem, no matter how difficult.

In modern times you have only FDR and LBJ as examples of Presidents who succeeded in taking on such major issues to help salvage the future of our country.

Despite all the slings and arrows, and propaganda waged against him, he persists.  He has the support of a large enough segment of the population to get this through.  He knows that he has to keep the people on board with what he is trying to do.

Unlike Clinton, who didn’t keep campaigning for his program after he got elected, Obama keeps countering the mountain of publicity arrayed against him.

Clinton felt constrained by lack of funds to promote his program against the huge amount of money the corporate world used against him (Harry and Louise).

Obama has found the way, using the internet, to raise the needed funds and to keep his army of supporters out in the field working with him.

This is the kind of change that I voted for.
