I almost drank it.


Every time I start staring real hard at one of the cans of O-Aid in chez field, I stumble across a story like the following, which brings me right back to reality and makes me realize why I can't totally embrace the culture of O. Say it ain't so O man.
"A memo obtained by the Huffington Post confirms that the White House and the pharmaceutical lobby secretly agreed to precisely the sort of wide-ranging deal that both parties have been denying over the past week.

The memo, which according to a knowledgeable health care lobbyist was prepared by a person directly involved in the negotiations, lists exactly what the White House gave up, and what it got in return.


It says the White House agreed to oppose any congressional efforts to use the government's leverage to bargain for lower drug prices or import drugs from Canada -- and also agreed not to pursue Medicare rebates or shift some drugs from Medicare Part B to Medicare Part D, which would cost Big Pharma billions in reduced reimbursements." [Story here]


O man that is change only big Pharma can believe in, not me. And the shit pisses me off every time I realize that you are a politician just like the rest of those clowns in Washington. You are the lessor of many evils, to be sure, but one of them, nevertheless.

Now don't ever get it twisted, I will always defend you against shit like this. And I hate and despise your enemies more than I could ever hate or despise some of your policies. Because I know why they hate you, and by extension that is the reason they hate me as well. It has nothing to do with your policies, and it ain't the fact that I am a lawyer from Philly who likes to talk shit on the Internet.

Still, I am disappointed, but I have your back. Although, just for once, it would be nice to know that you have mine as well.

  1. Field, consider the source. Obama is insisting he didn't make the deal. Big Pharma lobbyist is saying he did. Hmmmmm, who benefits from this "leak" without proof. I am skeptical. However, if evidence, REAL evidence comes out that he did this.... I will be right there screamin WTF. Given some of the other things he has done that is disappointing, not saying this isn't possible. Just saying, I believe a pharma lobbyist about as much as I believe Glen Beck.

    Brotha Field, i hope thise isn't adding insult to injury, but Vick is coming to a hood near you! (praying for the man)

    I wonder how many pigs gave their little lives, and some poor farm boy remained a virgin for a few extra months, for this great AmeriKKKan past time!?

  3. The lesser of two evils indeed. There is no way that big business wasn't going to play both sides. So I'm not surprised or even disappointed as I know that despite the hype Obama is just a politician.

    It's too bad that the 'Town HOLLERS' are just parrots otherwise we all could actually be having a very interesting debate about health-care.

    Now everyone is just locked into supporting their side. So who loses, we all do. Oh well.

    I'll take a pragmatist that gets something done over an idealist that can't or won't.

    There is indeed a cult of Obama; it's a cult ruled by emotion and not by logic. Obama is a middle of the road Democrat, cut from the same cloth as Clinton. Though that is far from good, it could be much worse.

    Worse than this story is Obama's failure to end our outrageously expensive and destructively pointless wars overseas. Coupled with a complete lack of will in confronting the massive military spending that has impoverished our social welfare. Combine all that with a disregard for American labor and it's shades of Clinton again.

  10. Whenever someone has a definite character trait, that trait has its negative sides as well as its positive sides.

    Obama's inherent steadiness attracted me last spring. He's the coolest customer I have ever seen in a president or presidential candidate. I thought last year, and still think, that this is an enormously important and desirable thing. I'm thankful that this trait comes from the Democratic side of the fence.

    That said, there are times when the man's equillibrium bugs me. His tendency to steer toward the middle frustrates me, because it allows the wingnuts to exert way, way too much influence.

    If I could talk to Obama, I'd try to tell him that "balance" and "steadiness" do not mean splitting the cake down the middle. He was elected to change things, not to flip a coin.

    You know I resented when folk whould refer to Clinton as the first black president even though I understood and agreed with Ms. Morrison. However, given that most blacks I know, if thay work hard to get a job, get it, they will damn well try to do what they sad they would do. Obama's need to seek concensus among all is showing that he is the product of a white American mother and a black African father and not a black American or even traditional white American - leaving Bill, in my opinion, as the first Black president. We would not have all this drama if he have just come into to office doing what he said he would do and not taken crap from any member of his own party.

  34. The war in Afghan, was not started by President Obama, nor was the one in Iraq. Bush let it get out of control with his no strategy thinking. Okay, so now President Obama is left with mess to clean up. The man is trying, but it's rather hard when you have people who are suppose to be on your team stabbing you in the back and helping the other team out. MSM spinning every single little detail of what goes on at the White House and whatever he attempts to do. It is even harder when "WE the People" who he told during the election he needed OUR help are not helping as much as we should, instead we're complaining. He told us he couldn't do it by himself, and he was being very open and honest.

    He is up against some powerful Corporation, MSM,some of the people on his own team, and those crazier than road lizard people who want to kill him. So what do you expect to happen without the help he needs? He is not Superman or Jesus in the flesh.

  35. granny,

    The healthcare figures I provided are per-person, per-year.

    Here in NY City we also spend $16,000 per-student, per-year for public school.

    The Dept of Ed budget in NY City is over $16 Billion per year.

    Our national healthcare costs are over $2 TRILLION per year.

    If the US adopted a government-run healthcare program, the cost would immediately go over $4 TRILLION.

    Meanwhile, doubling the cost would do nothing to improve the results.

    If he said the pharmacuetical folks are lyin'---they are LYIN'. Please, somebody tell me---how has Obama disappointed you? Because he doesn't act like a typical knee-grow, talkin' smack and sayin' NOTHING?

    Seriously, now---I honestly want to know how he's disappointed you. He has not done ONE THING he said he wouldn't.

    It took us YEARS---YEARS---to get into this mess. Did you really think he would come in, wave his magic wand---and all the BUSHIT would go away? We are all grownups here. Let's behave like grownups, and come up with intelligent, cogent suggestions that we can email to some one of his people to get some shit done. And---let's not forget---Obama is not some fuckin' KING. We have a congress that must answer to us.

  43. To the extent that politicians are evil, the O-man is definitely the lesser, perhaps the least of many evils. But yes, we must not forget that he IS a politician, and a Chicago one at that. There is no way he could have been elected without being one. And has there ever been a politician who did not disappoint, or piss us off at one time or another.

    We are inpatient because we live vicariously through him. His campaign was our campaign. His nomination was our nomination. His election and inauguration were ours. So when he missteps, we are not happy. We were ready for a change, but he didn't promise it would be overnight. Did he not say election night that there would be times we would not agree, that there would be decisions he would make that we didn't like?

    Someone said something to the effect that a minority has not arrived until it can afford to produce some idiots and knuckleheads and embarrassments without the rest of the group being blamed for it--because the one or the few represent the whole. Everyone here knows that we do not live in a post-racial society(even the O-man knows that). And the fact that his missteps carry so much weight with us confirms it. We will have arrived when those disagreements are no longer looked upon as disappointments--when the actions of the one are not the burden of the many.

    Having said that, we must remember that everything he has done has been calculated. And somehow I think this is as well. The drug companies are the part of the axis of evil for healthcare costs--along with the insurance companies and inadequate quality manangement and tort reform. So they need to be dealt with and not bargained with. Quid pro quo is the sine que non of politics. Perhaps he has something up his sleeve. Perhaps when a bill comes out of committee, he will then go to work to make it something closer to what he has promised. Even if not, he will accomplish more that anyone before him has in this reform.

    What president has gotten this kind of grief just six months into his first term?

    Somehow I hear a word of caution..Hold on, change IS coming...Hold on, don't you worry about a thing.

  44. My thoughts exactly Doc L, maybe he dosen't want to tangle with the drugs companies at this point. I appreciate many of the things he has done so far. But if something is not done about the cost of medicine before all is said and done, he's going to have some serious explaining to do.

  46. From Daily Kos:

    by I said GOOD DAY sir
    Obama: I'm willing to be a one-term president over health care and energy
    Thu Aug 13, 2009 at 08:47:51 PM PDT

    This is what a real leader sounds like:

    Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-IA) claims that President Obama told him "he's willing to be a one-term president if that's what it takes to get health care and energy reform," reports Radio Iowa.

    Said Boswell: "The president (said), 'I'm not going to kick the can down the road.' And he said that and I said, 'Well, that's something I'm kind of used to from southern Iowa, you know. I know about kicking the can down the road.' And he said, 'No, if it makes me a one-term president, I'm going to, we're going to take it on because the country is in need of us taking this on.' I respected that very much."

    That, to me, is what separates him from the Clintons: He is about what the country needs right now, not about how to triangulate the country to death just to get re-elected.

    Change, and fuck the haters.

    Quite frankly, I'm almost certain that this is why he has "kicked the can down the road" on prisoner abuse, Bush investigations, etc. He sure as hell doesn't need another distraction.

    This is the fight of not only one presidency, but of our country's future, our country's fate.

    And he's ready to go down in order to save this country and this planet in our time of need.

    So forget the day-to-day chatter. He believes, and g-d damn if he doesn't have the will to succeed.

    I'm so proud of him. If he really said this, then I can barely speak and hardly elaborate I'm so moved.

Yet and still, GWB was in office messing up for a whole eight years right before everyone's eyes. No one said a word. Didn't hear a peep out of them. The day people find out about the economy (their money) that's when everyone got all huff and puff, but he shouldn't have been voted in office in the first place. His whole family wasn't nothing but thugs and that includes Barbara Bush as well on back to the grandpappy. Everybody was scared to open their mouth and complain.

    President Obama gets elected and hasn't even been in office for six months, and folks want to write him off already. American is a sick society! It took eight whole years for Bush to screw America up, and y'all want to give President Obama only six months and he was suppose to have everything back like the good days.

  55. Exactly why I can't fully embrace him either.

    To me, politicians are inherently corrupt on some level.

    But this doesn't surprise me. There had to be some reason why big pharma was standing behind this Healthcare "Reform" initiative. These folks are snakes, and they don't support any initiative unless there is some sort of payoff for them.

    It's going to be a winfall for all the big companies involved... especially for the insurance companies if there is no public option (and the public option has been eliminated in the Senate negotiations...and the Senate usually gets its way). The House of Representatives still has a public option in at least one of its Healthcare Bills.

    Critics attacked every aspect of his positions and personal life -- loudly and relentlessly.

    President Obama as always been a pragmatic politican. He is a moderate and not a liberal person. I believe that he will get healthcare reform done, unfortunately that does not necessarily mean an overhaul of the pharmaceutical companies. We just assumed that pharmaceutical is a part of healthcare reform and it is not. I what to learn more about the so-called deal in order to have a more informed opinion one way or another.

    It is up to us to come down on politicans when are satisify with what we see, and participate in the political process. Someone made an observation of how during the presidental campaign people participated in getting candidate Obama elected, but are not mobilized concerning healthcare reform.

    At the end of the day, we are dealing with human beings. In this you play with the cards that you are dealt. I think President is an excellent politican and one of the best I have seen in years. Politics as a poly sci professor best described to me is who gets what. The reality is Pres. Obama will have to compromise to get the overall healthcare reform done or you wiil kiss it goodbye. It is complicated and yet simple at the same time. You will have to make concessions, and may not get everything you when negotiating deals. You create a win-win scenario during the process, all or nothing is not possible in something as serious as healthcare as you can walk away with nothing in the process. Ask yourself this question do you want the President to do something in the way in which Reagan did with the air traffic controllers strike where he did not negotiate fired them all, and we have a problem with safety in the air when the goal should have been about air traffic safety and probably not a good idea to take it's my way or the highway strategy. Welcome to the world of compromise.

    President was given a whole eight years to messed up and wasn't nobody complaining, until the day he announced the economy was bad. Is it because he is black that he has perform a miracle before the year is out? Why is more expected of him than has been of any of the ex-presidents before him? Is it because he is black? Smh!


    No offense Granny, but that is bs. Presidents before him were also expected to work miracles. It's the way people think. However, some things are unacceptable compromises: His failure on the Employee Free choice act, the ramping up of the failed Afghan war, He also vowed to reopen open negotiations on NAFTA (and now says he has no plans to do it) Perhaps the worse is his appointments of people like TIm Geithner and Goldman Sachs lobbyist Mark Patterson, people who got us into this mess in the first place.

    This is not a time for moderation. This country is in dire trouble and we need the political courage of an FDR, not a Bill Clinton. It's up to us to put Obama under enough pressure to carry out the will of the people; he won't do it on his own.

    This is such a dodge. It's not a "white man's game." To be president, you have to ride a tiger. You are president of all the people, not just some of them. The idea that there is a "white man's game" that is completely different from, what, a "black man's game?" is a comfortable fantasy that does no one any favors.

    These clowns aren't going to these "town hall" meetings just for laughs. They are trying to terrorize our representatives into believing that we don't want health care reform or that "things are moving too fast".

    I am going to be working a phone bank to try and get real people to call their representatives and tell them that we have their back if they support real health care reform or that we will be their knocking doors to help their opponent at the next election!

    We need single payor basic medical insurance for all! Basically medicare for every U.S. citizen that includes dental and optical care. It will cost less than the war in Iraq did. If we can pay or borrow or whatever to get into that mess, we can afford to pay for something we actually need!

    Pandering to a Hispanic is like offering them an extra chicken in the pot. Cheap, but it works.

    This guy would have never been elected, unless he had white, rich liberals in his back & front pockets.

    To potray him as some kind of "savior", just shows the gullitibity of the American "electorate", and the fact that blacks love him without any criticism just goes to show their blind allegience to hair style.

  76. The big money sink in health care is in private insurance, their profits and what they spend on administration to dump all of the “high cost” rate payers onto someone else or onto the uninsured. Private health insurance cannot compete with public health insurance that doesn’t have to spend so much dumping high cost patients.

    The excess money in big pharma is small potatoes compared to the waste in private health insurance.

    I think Obama is right to make a deal with the devil of big pharma to get single payer through, even in a small way. Big insurance is costing 10x more than big pharma. Big pharma can profit by actually making new products. Big insurance can only profit by squeezing the rate payers.

  80. 1st let me start w/ the Big Clean-Up because starting with Nixon this country started adopting "get-rich-now schemes to further corporate interests for a long time. We were governed with the worst philosophy of all: "Small Government." Which means lobotomizing almost every sector of the government's abilities to assist and govern every citizen.

    It also means that w/ fewer resources means that whomever we elect gets to decide what IS important. SO that meant the military industrial complex got whatever it wants at the expense of almost everything else. As a result we have:

    An FDA that was continuously 'gutted' in power so we now face more and more re-calls because of some kind of violation in safety. SEC practically “married” to the people it was supposed to watch. Having problems with your mail service: they’ve put almost no money in our UPS, sold pieces of it to the private sector and now over 10,000 offices will be closing. An Educational system that’s made our students less smarter (& less safer) and our higher ed unaffordable. and NASA can’t even afford to go to the moon! This List goes on and now all the “chickens are coming home to roost.”

    As for Bill Clinton he has become my LEAST Fav 5 because he talked a good game. Billy couldn't keep 'it' in his pants which ultimately compromised his presidency. Someone like Tom DeLay, I’m sure had NO problem holding an 'indiscretion' over his head in lieu of enacting various policies. Added to that were policies he implemented that most DEMS (Zell Miller notwithstanding) would've never considered: Health Care Reform gave us HMOs Don't Ask, Don't Tell (seems to me the Military needs all the qualified help it can get) Deregulation of Wall Street - he's made almost EVERY People-Most-Responsible-for-Financial-Melt-Downlist: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1877351_1877350,00.html

    And he gave us the rise of "Moderate Democrats" aka Blue Dogs; albeit they’ve always had but were significantly strengthened during his tenure. Which we ALL should have expected from a white man from AK. And whole host of other "delightful" things that we're still paying for, recovering from, today.

    And the old argument around States' Rights? If left up to the States we'd still have desegragation, slavery, worse nepotism than we have now, no Civil Rights Act, & since States have no $ these days that means no services for the needy in "service-rich" places like the Miss. Delta, just to name the "wonderful things" they'd happen. Of course if left up to States in the beginning to govern people we wouldn't even have a United States of America.

    As for the 0-Man? I’m disappointed – NOT surprised. Politics is dirtier than a ring of prostitutes. You have to ‘pay $10 for that blow-job & I’m thinking that he’s already fighting the health care industry he probably can’t fight the Pharma industry at the same time. In fact, I KNOW this because Pharma is supposed to drop several million dollars in an ad campaign to show its “support” of Obama’s health reform.

    We invested so little in our government infrastructure (military not included) and transferred by large piece-mail to the private sector that now he’s attempting to clean it up while re-building it before it blows up. Since he is just a politician I’ve never viewed him w/ rose-tinted glasses but I imagine that if folks would think about what he’s already accomplished in the short time he’s been prez, his being just another “politician” might feel less… painful.

  81. As for the memo, even a comment at HufPo says it looks fake, like an old typewriter, or can u choose "old typewriter" as a font? Plus, the content doesn't look like a memo, it looks more like someone reporting on what the memo said(*if real* ). Maybe there is a memo, I wouldn't be surprised, deals seem to be part of government life. Aren't a lot of pharma's based in Puerto Rico for the tax breaks they get? I thought a bunch of companies there change names on purpose so they can get the tax break.
    Also, I really think that there is too much unnecessary medicine being dispensed by doctors who either invest in pharma stocks, *conflict?* or get some other perks.
    My 82 year old mother takes nothing, she always careful about her weight, what she ate, and kept moving, my 87 year old uncle had diabetes, he couldn't take the insulin, believe it or not, my aunt cooked all his food from diabetic cook books and they controlled his diabetes with diet and exercise. Just saying, maybe we should start trying to take care of our own bodies, that would make a big difference too.

    To answer your stupid quasi-philosophical question, he has no debt to pay the dogs he "abused" per the law. He has paid his debt to a segment of society who find it distasteful to fight dogs, but find it in good taste to shoot a wolf, stuff and mount it on a wall-- the usual hypocrites.

    There are some things that one simply should not dignify with a response.

    I will say that past precedence has shown that the two parties rarely elevate the best candidates. I submit that the reason for that may be that most people don't do the necessary research of the candidate's policies, voting records, affiliations, financiers etc. The vast majority of folks rely on journalist or anchormen/women, some feel good emotion or blind allegiance when determining whom they'll support. And in doing so they abdicate self responsibility of seeking out from multiple sources, thereby gaining a more thorough understanding of what these politicians stand for. I'm not talking about news conferences, or television debates. I guess I was raised different, you see "frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri.

  102. The field negro post states:

    "It says the White House agreed to oppose any congressional efforts to use the government's leverage to bargain for lower drug prices or import drugs from Canada..."

    Import drugs from Canada?

    Drugs in Canada are drugs made by US pharmaceutical companies that are sold to the Canadian healthcare system. Those drugs are then sold in Canada at low low prices after receiving huge subsidies from Canadian taxpayers.

    Importing drugs from Canada means obtaining them at their low subsidized Canadian prices, then sending them over the border to the US to be sold at a higher prices.

    In this scenario, the Canadian taxpayers are victimized.

    There are 34 million Canadians, and there 305 million Americans. If the US legalized the importation of drugs from Canada, the demand from our huge market would overwhelm Canada's drug subsidy. The small nation of Canada would go broke giving a huge price break to Americans who would consume the entire drug inventory bought by Canada, leaving no drugs for the Canadians.

    The importers would earn huge profits until the subsidies were discontinued or Canada outlawed the sales to US buyers.

    In other words, people who believe the is something to be gained from importing drugs from Canada believe there is a free lunch.

    Where is the following information.

    * Panahou Academy school records, 5th through 12th grades
    * Occidental College records, including financial aid information.
    * Columbia University records, including the missing senior thesis and financial aid information.
    * Harvard University records, including information on how a student who never wrote anything (that can be found) was elected president of the prestigious law review, and including information on how Harvard Law School was afforded by humble community agitator, Barack Obama.
    * Obama’s Illinois state senate records and papers, mysteriously lost.

    even before rev wright alluded to the same sentiment

    the joker has joked us all
