Can someone please explain to me EXACTLY what Obama plans to do with the healthcare? Excuse my ignorance, but I am hopelessly confused on this topic.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible- I want to understand this subject as best I can!

Here's the letter that should have been posted weeks ago. Words can't express how upset I am at myself for not sending this to y'all sooner, and if you guys have lost faith in me- it's completely understandable. I failed to live up to my promise and have let you down..

Nevertheless, here is my completed version of the pledge experiment.

Please reply with any errors I may have missed or suggestions to improve it or just you're thoughts about it.

I know this is really old and random, but I just received it in an email and found it interesting. I believe this is true, however I cannot confirm this.
It seems poor President Bush was hated by the media from the beginning...

I know this (in response to your question)!!

And yeah, in all seriousness, we'll never get that Karl Marx's idea of communism- no one has.
Like in Russia when instead of abolishing all social classes- two were created: The government and Everyone one else. And that's exactly what's gonna happen here if Obama keeps this up.

UPDATE:
Ok guys, I know I let y'all down once again, but please bear with me.
It's done with, except for a few touch-ups.
In other words, I'll have it to y'all by tomorrow.
School has just been getting in the way lately...

Hey all,

I just wanted to apologize to anyone who thought I had completely ditched them and the Pledge of Allegiance experiment.
I assure that I have continued to keep track of my daily experiences, yet have simply had the time to type them up and post it here. I have simply had an incredibly busy past week and a half.
Since, this week is just as busy as the last, I most likely won't be able to post my daily observations over the course of this week. However, I plan on posting all of my data in final format (which I will then send to the school newspaper) here early next week.
Basically, I just wanted to let y'all know that I have not deserted you.
I hope you understand.

MY (JOHN) PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE EXPERIMENT:

Day 22 (April 23, 2009)
Being Thursday and having to be in biology class as the school television show was going on, my usual plan was to go to the bathroom and on my way would stop and say the Pledge of Allegiance alongside the student on the T.V. reciting it. However, my plan was compromised when my teacher wouldn’t let me go straight to the bathroom (I guessed he noticed a pattern). So, I ended up reciting it at Lunch. No one cared and nothing else happened.

Sorry for not posting yesterday, but when trying the access this- I kept getting a "Error Database Connection" message.

----------------------------------------------------------

MY (JOHN) PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE EXPERIMENT:

Day 20 (April 21, 2009):
I was in orchestra class when the Pledge of Allegiance was said over the television. I was hoping for a repeat of the day when other kids stood up alongside me to say the Pledge. And as luck would have it…. I was once again alone. For some strange reason, I felt much more “alone” when saying the Pledge of Allegiance today than I usually feel. It was a very strange feeling, to be honestly. It felt as if I was truly the only person saying it in the class. Meaning, occasionally I’ll see other kids at least acknowledge what is going on, but this time, it felt as if now one even remotely cared. Furthermore, one of my friends who was sitting next to me at the time said (after I was done saying the Pledge of Allegiance), “John, you realize you were the only one saying the Pledge, right?” I nodded. I then asked, “Well [friend’s name], why didn’t you say it with me?” He shrugged and responded, “I’m too lazy and don’t really wanna get up an’ say it.”
Well, I guess that explains it. I mean, it’s just stupid words- why waste the little energy to stand up and say meaningless words?*
[End]

*sarcasm

Day 21 (April 22, 2009):
Just like every other Wednesday of the week, I was in the gym locker rooms getting changed when the Pledge of Allegiance was said over the intercom. And just like every other Wednesday of the week, I was ignored by the few kids around me.
[End]

I have lost the little hope/faith in Obama I had. It's sad when I can't even support my president anymore.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I never was in favor of Obama, but he's the president- I feel, regardless of who it is, I, as an American, should support the president of my country.
But I've simply given up on Obama.
We have no president, just a guy screwing off.

Amen to that!
