Wololo! Just checked Wazua News Update and this...

"The Republicans have produced one of the biggest political upsets of recent US history winning Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts, traditionally one of the safest Democratic states in the country.

Voters, citing reasons for the shift to the Republicans, repeatedly expressed hostility towards the health care bill but also a belief that Obama represented too much government interference, was too left-wing and was spending too much."


Republicans just can't cut the guy a break, but then again I'm biased, a democrat at heart.

Wow. This healthcare bill is costing Obama politically bigtime. Causing a lot of backlash! Is it worth it?

This healthcare thing is comparable to the Social Health Plan that has been touted in Kenya recently. It is about the working class and the rich people paying the poor man's health bill. It means additional taxes, upto 10% of your income. This might condemn the middle class to poverty for life. The facilities then become free for all meaning the level of services at hospitals go down. Am not so enthusiastic about it.
