Why so surprised?

Obamacare, Obamacare, Obamacare; that's all that's going around the radio, TV, news journals, and the daily paper delivered right to your front door, so you can read about the legacy of this president while sipping your morning coffee.

Those on the left claim Obamacare "is the greatest thing to ever happen to Americans". They continue to hype Obamacare with lies upon lies. Of course we all know the biggest and most outrageous lie was delivered nearly thirty times by our president himself; "if you like your Doctor and health plan you can keep it....PERIOD"!  

And in the midst of all the blatant lies the Obamaacare supporters are screaming, "this Obamacare will work". Oh yeah, Obamacare is certainly going to work and be successful; right after I win the state lottery and Powerball on the same day.

What completely amazes me is that so many Americans are surprised that Obamacare has been an outright failure from the beginning. Did anyone truly think it would work? Really? I could write thousands upon thousands of words and blogs on things you've already read and been told about the failure of Obamacare and why it won't work.

Instead, I'd like to offer a few gentle reminders today of government-run programs. Let's start with the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. You know it as Amtrak.

Amtrak was "born" in 1971 by our government. Our government has been operating this defunct operation for over 43 years, and it has lost money since its beginning. However, despite many offers from the private sector, our government continues to run in the red while declining any private offers.

Next we have our United States Postal Service, which has been losing billions of taxpayer dollars every year, despite offers from the private sector to purchase our infamous USPS.
Many factions from the private sector including DHL, UPS, and FedEx have all offered to purchase the USPS from the government.  Can you guess why the government won't sell the USPS?  It's simply because what will our government do with all those public union members that currently work for the USPS? They are union-protected, and the progressive libs need their votes, so they are protected.

Let's just offer one more government debacle that continues to lose money every year. Can you guess?  It's our esteemed Department of Motor Vehicles. I swear the DMV only exists for fodder for late night TV comedians.  I remember a favorite radio host of mine who said, "Every time I feel arrogant, confident, or cocky, I just go visit my local DMV, and suddenly I'm back to my insecure self again".

My point in all this is why should we be surprised that Obamacare is a big joke, and is fast becoming the blunt of jokes on the TV and radio airwaves?  How many government-run projects must we endure before we all finally agree that anything, yes anything at all, that our government touches turns into something I can't print here.

The only semblance of continuity we have that the government runs is our military, and Hitler Jr. is trying very hard to bring that down. 

But please don't give up folks; we have our first opportunity to fix this when the November elections are here.

And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country...and our troops
