Obamacare … A Dead Duck!

A woman brought a very limp duck into a local veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, “I’m sorry, but your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”

The distressed woman wailed, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead,“replied the vet.

“How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.

A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”

The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill.

”$150!” she cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!?”

The vet shrugged, “I’m really sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20. But with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now $150.”

When the president is unchecked by congress and has a majority ….
YEP – the party/president can do that.

I don’t like either party having that power.

Obama told us we would have to give up things if he ws elected. The fools who voted for him brushed this off but darn if he didn’t mean it. Millions of us have given up our jobs, ourhomes our savings and are in the process of giving up our freedom. Our super wealthy country is now on the brink of bankruptcy all because 52% of us voted for a communist who is intent on changing our entire way of life.

I can only look back through history and realize how lucky we have been up to now to have had presidents who loved their country and did not want to bring it down in the name of ideology. I didn’t realize a president had so much power. I thought there were checks and balances in place to prevent this. Evidently I was wrong.

Sometimes I wonder if Obama is the catalyst that God is using to bring the people of this country to their senses and other times I wonder if we have offended God so much that he has turned his back on us. We certainly deserve it since we have become Sodom and Gommorah. Very little morality and killing our children by the millions.

Obama truly is the epitome of the joke “How can you tell he is lying? His lips move!”
Is there ONE thing he has told the truth about?

He has shown over and over again that he will say or do whatever a particular audience needs to hear so they will vote his agenda! He did it all through his campaign and even when pointed out to those who were fawning over him, they were so star struck they did not care.

My concern honestly is that things are heating up in this country and people are waking up from long sleep – will this end in violence? A revolution of sorts? What?

People on the left screamed about Bush’s out of control budget. Bush can’t hold a candle to Obama’s up and away budget.
