Politics 102:

Now lets get down to more facts. Recently the Democrat Party had enough votes to move any bill through the Congressional House and to the President’s desk. But as of Tuesday, January 19, 2010 the Republicans of all people, took the seat of the late Ted Kennedy-Senator from Massachusetts, a Democrat. Kennedy held that seat for decades, what a shame, I am sure he is turning in his grave. But the point I’m trying to make is what happen to the black votes, did we let the Republicans bully us into casting a Republican vote or did we vote at all? Like I said before, we need to learn, read and study politics. First of all, Massachusetts has Universal Healthcare, (this was done when Mitt Romney was Governor of Massachusetts ("The Republican Who Thinks Big on Healthcare"). So maybe they don’t care about the rest of the country. Second, why did the Democrats seem so complacent (I guess they thought they had this election in the bag?) Third, why does our President seem like he’s just not sure as to what he should be focusing on first. Don’t get me wrong, but don’t we need jobs, jobs, and jobs? Is anyone listening up there in Washington? There was an article I read written by Howard Fineman from Newsweek entitled, "The Democrats Who Deserve Blame For Their Loss In Massachusetts", and one point that stood out was that the Democrats loss Kennedy’s seat. I sort of agree, which I am saddened, but I have noticed that since the Presidents been in office, the Democrats can’t seem to get along and they have the majority (refer to politics 101 introduction).

Now I am ashamed of the people of Massachusetts because they know that Ted Kennedy fought hard for the Universal Healthcare their State now has. Now the people of Massachusetts are afraid of Universal Healthcare for all, because in their State its mandatory and they have high premiums. They fear they will have to absorb additional costs by subsidizing the other States, so I can understand their concern, but not to the point that they will appoint a Republican to discredit the Democrats or deny other people Universal Healthcare (now is that selfish?). Another article to read is called "Why Health Reform may survive Brown’s win" – in Marketwatch by Kristen Gerencher.

We are a confused nation, full of greed and selfishness. We don’t care about the other person, just ourselves. So once again, especially my black people, let’s start paying attention to the ills of this world and let our voices be heard in a positive way. Why can’t we lend a hand to someone in need here in America? Why can’t we share our ideas and concerns with each other? Why can’t we help each other, especially, if we got it like that (and there are a lot of us who got it like that, if you know what I mean.) Come on my people, lets wake up.
