Tonight was President Obama's news conference with focus on health care for all. I am not a big supporter of President Obama's agenda. I understand I do not support his agenda and thus work very hard to keep a nuteral mindset when listening to his news conference.

What was I suspecting from the news conference? I was expecting some details about his vision. How would it impact each and everyone of us? How will it be paid for? I felt that the answers were lacking which leaves me a feeling that we should move slowly on this topic. I was especially upset when you did not answer the question, "How much will americans be asked to sacrifice?". He answered the question in the form of hypothetical situations. First if you have a blood test with doctor A. Then go to doctor B and get the same blood test. You would be asked to sacrifice having to do the second blood test by having the first blood test results sent to doctor B. The second hypthetical was the blue pill / red pill analogy. Nice Matrix reference President, all geeks in america applaude that type of knowledge and you got it into a formal presidential speech. The analogy was blue pill and red pill will provide the same results. Blue pill costs twice as much as red pill. American's would have to sacrifice by taking the red pill. American's wanted to hear The President say that no one would have to sacrifice a knee replacement if they needed to get one.

Another issue that bothered me was The President talking about what treatment would be provided. The answer in a very suttle way left a loophole to keep people from getting treatment if the person does not provide a usefullness to the greater good. That is my interpretation of his answer. His answer was not clear and decisive.

In the end, I was left feeling empty with the conference and will keep looking forward. Maybe, over the next 10 years a new political party will emerge that is talking about true utopianism were there are no leaders. To reach that level of enlightenment everyone on the planet would have to adopt a level of civility and tolarence that has never been seen on this planet. Grading President Obama's news conference I will give it a 5 out of 10.
