Put Your Hands Together for the Whiners! – Leftward-Ho

6 – Even though the first parts of health care reform are kicking in, do you still think Medicare for everyone would be much better. – Even though you’ve been told over and over by President Obama that what was passed is the best that could have been done and you must be satisfied because it was better than nothing, you are nothing but a whiner.

I am sure, dear reader, you can quickly add a number of additional questions for the TAANPWT. We have published many commentaries here on BC about the importance of critical thinking and critical support of the Obama administration.

Joe Biden calls critical support, whining. He does not describe it as constructive criticism. He is saying our dissatisfaction is what a dictionary would describe as “To complain or protest in a childish fashion” or whining.

What Joe Biden and Barack Obama should be hearing is the uttering of a plaintive, high-pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear, supplication, or complaint. That’s a definition of whining that fits.

People are in pain. When the people cry out in pain because of suffering, severe disappointment and hopelessness, it is best for those in power to listen.

As usual, I end this commentary with information you should use to communicate with our elected officials.

Signing petitions is good, but a personal call, letter or email is best.
