Doctors Endorse Obama

Over 6,000 physicians and 1,000 medical students across the country have signed to support Obama health care plan. Doctors for Obama:

“Having witnessed the devastating consequences of our healthcare crisis, we feel compelled to speak out in support of the leader we believe will bring high quality, affordable health care to all Americans.” said Dr. Vivek Murthy, co-founder and co-chair of Doctors for Obama and an internal medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. “We are choosing between two candidates who have proposed starkly different visions for healthcare reform. There is too much at stake in this election for physicians to remain silent. Physicians need to come together to advocate for the plan that will be best for patients, doctors, and the health of America. That is why we started Doctors for Obama.”

Obama Mocks McCain

Remember Obama said he has the last punch? Here’s one:

Lately he’s called me a socialist for wanting to roll back the bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans so we can give some tax relief to the middle class. I don’t know what’s next. By next week he’ll be calling me a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Margaret and Helen

A few readers have pointed me to an eighty-two-year-old political blogger, Helen Philpot, and haven’t have a moment to read it until now. She has some good points:

I started out in this election supporting Hillary Clinton because I believed our country needed a women’s point of view in the Oval Office. I truly believe that women approach education, war, healthcare, the environment, poverty, etc. differently. Of course then I met Sarah Palin and realized that some women are just bitches who only want to change their wardrobe and your religious freedoms.

Andrew Neff Group

Andy, a junior high school soccer buddy of mine, is a jazz musician. I once asked him something about his future and his answer was “to become a jazz musician.” I had no idea what jazz was at that age and I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life at that point, but he had already decided on his dream job. It looks like he has indeed followed his dream.
