Thanks for the video
I unpublished that weird transcript. I don't want to go anywhere near that stuff, don't want it showing up on Google searches, don't anybody citing it, ick ick ick. (If you want to analyze it in a post, that's another thing, but material like that needs to be handled with those robot gloves, waldos, or whatever they're called.)

I have YouTubed the video
and I am waiting for it to process. I was thinking of replacing the ClipSyndicate junk because of that asinine transcript. WTF
were they thinking?
Done!
It only took a few minutes.
lambert, what was so weird about the transcript? I read it
but didn't catch what's wrong with it. Was it inaccurate? Not match video?
This was another one, that I unpublished
Jeebus, it was wierd. Ranting about... Stuff I don't want anywhere near here, interspered with transcript.
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mahatma Gandhi
The weird (and inaccurate) transcript
that was embedded in the original video was a whole bunch of words that might come up in a Google for someone searching for information about drugs, racism and stereotypes.
We'll leave it at that AND, suffice it to say, I can agree with and understand why lambert unpublished it. Trust me here. :)
I only pointed it out to explain why I planned on changing the video to one that I uploaded on YouTube.
Single biggest driver of our deficits my sweet Aunt Fanny
It's $97 TRILLION FRACKING DOLLARS for six months of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to NPR this morning.
Shut the fuck up about destroying Medicare, Medicaid (and Social Security by association), NOW.
Damn politician, lying again.

Single payer systems must start from scratch?
So all countries with single payer systems now didn't have any health care systems/insurance when they established single payer?
And even if that is true, is the United States is incapable of innovation? Unqualified to do something no one else has done? Tell it to NASA. How'd we get to the moon? No one had ever done that before.
I thought we were such a "can do" country. Obama was certainly a "yes we can" kind of guy on the campaign trail. Of course he never stood up for anything except winning (by underhanded means in the primary). We never new where he stood on an issue. Lack of backbone? Is that why? Afraid of a fight? Can't do what is needed? Worried he won't win so he won't try? All of the above?
Or has Obama along with Baccus been drinking at the big pharma/health insurance trough too long. What a wimp. He'll never stand up to anyone. Let alone those who pull his strings
