Obama Health Reform Address Close – “The Character Of Our Country”

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 09:05:17 +0000

At the close of an address on health reform to Congress, President Obama reminds people: “I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan, than to improve it.”

“If you misrepresent what’s in this plan, we will call you out,” he adds. “And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.”

He also talks about a letter he received from late Senator Ted Kennedy that was written in May, but delivered to Obama after Kennedy’s death. In the letter, Ted called health reform “unfinished business” but was confident that “this is the year” that it would pass.

Obama also remarked on when it is necessary fo government to step in.

“All I Want From Congress” Lyrics

I don’t want a lot from Congress…
So many folks are in need…

I don’t care to have a handout.

Sick and tired of corporate greed.
Please don’t listen to the fringe.
Or pass a bill that makes us cringe.
We need you too…

Senate this is what we elected you to do….

I could use a job dear Congress.
So could all the others in need.
We can do better than the presents with one that helps the whole Country.
i don’t need an explanation of why we have to compromise.
Bet they wont’ really filibuster
I see fear in Ensign’s eyes.
We want real reform to pass.
A milestone that is sure to last.
Make our wish come true!
Senate this is what we elected you.
To do.

I won’t ask much from Congress
don’t want the deficit to grow.
Can’t afford to wait much longer.
Keep sending things to the CBO!
I made a short list and I sent it to Nelson, Landrieu, and ol’ Joe.
The catastrophic plan when you wrote, won’t get me to the gyno.
Cause I don’t think it asks for much to say we all deserve coverage.
I know this much is true…
Congress this is why we elected you.
Yeah

Oh Mr. Lieberman you’ve become a Grinch.
You almost lost your seat but this is quite a stink.
31 Million People
31 Million People
Joe it’s not too late to stop blocking the debate.
Do the right thing for the Country.

Oh I’ve got news for you dear congress. News that you just have to hear. If this bill ends up far from perfect we’ll just have to come on back next year. So pass a bill but don’t be mistaken cause our efforts will not be forsaken. Why wait another year?

Congress this is why we elected you.
