Yes, these are the words of the president, last night at the Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Washington. After listing his administration's accomplishments and vowing that "our most urgent task is job creation," Obama pledged to keep fighting for a national health care system. "We knew this was hard," Obama said. And then he described a letter he received from a campaign worker who suffered from breast cancer and has since died:
I, I, I got a letter -- I got a, a, a note today from one of my staff -- or an e-mail, they forwarded it to me -- from a woman in St. Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed away from breast cancer. She didn't have insurance. She couldn't afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she's going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt
First of all, why didn't the campaign offer health insurance? why did the Obama Campaign not offer this worker Health Insurance.
And secondly even if she did have Obama's healthcare insurance, she would have had to wait up to 4 years for her to get treatment.
It's too bad Obama couldn't have pitched in money to help that woman instead of eating Lobster and Caviar for one weekend..
"Buried in an Obama t-shirt." My God, how can one person be so much in love with himself to make a statement like that! Maybe Obama can show up at the funeral and slap a couple bumper stickers on the coffin.
