I have attempted to avail myself of the information on healthcare that is out there. Tired from reading last night, I fell into a deep sleep. During the night, I was awakened with this vision of the future.

The president is wearing a white smock with a stethocope around his neck. In the chair in his office, is an older African-American women, who, obviously is in pain, nervously waita for the ensuing coversation. I could only hear one side of the conversation, the president’s.

“Thank you for coming to my office at the White House for your mandatory 5 year schedule consultationwith me to talk about your end-of- life choices provided by your Obamacare health care policy.

As you know, I’m not your regular doctor, in fact, I’m not technically a doctor however: I do have my Doctorate of Juris Prudence, but they say that doesn’t really count, because they are behaving stupidly.

As a way of introduction, as you are aware, medical resources are in very high demand these days and therefore must be delivered to receipients through a very structured allocation process.
Notice that I am calibrating my words carefully, because I want to make myself clear.

As you must realize at your age of…..let’s see what your records say, h-m-m-m-m, 84, that according to government computers,makes your life expectancy is only one year.

So with that in mind, we have calculated that we cannot fund your requested procedure, which according to our calculations would run $16,899. That figure is derived by adding the cost of 332 stitches using the finest cat gut string, rabies shots, impounding the dog, antibiotics-you know how expensive those things are, and various doctor and nurse charges, et ceterer, et ceterer….all when added together exceed your individual worth according to the EWL, or the Economic Worth of your Life.

Now, please don’t cry.

You wouldn’t want us to take medical treatment away from younger person, with a higher viability of life quotient, would you? I mean that wouldn’t be fair, would it, nor would it be according to our policy. It comes from our Blue Ribbon Medical Committee, made up of a cross section of the community including members of Acorn, the United Auto Workers, the Teacher Union, and other nonpartisan groups

Do you have any questions………..Mom?

I know, I know, you’re right. Michele and the girls will be mad, because, yes, you do live with us in the White House and it was our dog that bit you multiple times, but knowing what a patriotic American you are, you wouldn’t have it any other way. Right?

I want to be clear on this.

Mom, we can make this work. Yes, we can. Now say it with me, Yes we can!

Good!

Now, I really wish you wouldn’t start that again. Crying too much can agravate your eye condition, and you already know that there’s a 3 month wait to get that taken care of.

Can someone please get me a towel?”

1. the colb obama has presented as proof that he is was born in hawaii can be obtained by people who were not born in hawaii

2. obama is paying big time law firms to help keep his long form birth certificate and college records secret.

3. the supreme court has never ruled on whether someone born with only one citizen parent is a natural born citizen.

this is not going away no matter who on the right or left points fingers and laughs

Hi Les – I think the version I like was done by the Marcells.

Re: the image, I found it doing a Google image search using the words “blue moon.” It was on several websites.

ST-

Heh heh. I remember the night at the bar when, after one more beer than I should have had, I tried to sing the Marcells’ version. It was NOT pretty.
