Freedom of Speech and a physicians reaction

I am a Fox News watcher. My favorite show is Bret Baier especially when Charles Krauthammer is on the panel. When I wake up in the morning, after I pour my cup of coffee I turn on the TV to the early morning news on Fox with Bill Hemmer.

I've watched the other news channels, CNN actually, never ever MSNBC now but I did many years ago when it was a brand new channel. There are several excellent news reporters on CNN in the morning especially Robin and Heidi Collins, both are terrific.

My greatest concern which is being reported now is the comments being made from people in the Obama administration and from President Obama himself about Fox News. Also, another report was mentioned about the government controlling the Internet. This is scary! I wonder if these controls are in the mindset of Obama to control what is said and who ever differentiates from his opinion they will be ruined, run out of town, and shut down. President Obama's tactics are so not far off from the ruler in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. He shut down all but one broadcast station, but it may be down now because he was threatening to do so. The people who worked for that station talked against Chavez. There is no freedom there. Are we in for the same?

Opinions have been made that once people begin to see this conniving side of Obama, people would change their mind about his character. His character is now a switch from the man who swore he was for bringing people together from all sides of the political spectrum, but in truth, behind closed doors and among his cohorts he talks a different talk. The pleasant speaking, smiling, easy sense of humor is changed into a vile and distasteful dictator. We have been given a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as a president, with side kicks who come with a point of view not for a Democracy but a Dictatorship.

I am fearful today as I write my opinion because we know they are previewing blogs, twitter, and other social networks. I do not approve of the government controlling the Internet - guidelines, perhaps but I don't want their hand in it - at least not the Obama Administration, or really any government department.

Regarding the subject of a physician's reaction, I recently asked a dear friend who has been a physician for a long time his opinion about the meeting at the White House with the doctors and President Obama. I can't mention what he said but will say his verbal expression was shocking. I do know for a fact what he, as an excellent physician wants for his patients is definitely not what President Obama is preaching that doctors are asking. It would be interesting to know who President Obama is talking to in the health care industry.

I hope the Republicans will be elected back as a solid balance in the Congress and in the White House and can overturn this pile of crap we've been forced to accept as law. We need a strong leader like Newt Gingrich was back in the 90s.

Let's hope and pray! The Democrats have been in control too long. And, I think many have forgotten they were there in numbers when President Bush was in office. Maybe, this time will be their time out!
