This is the same organisation which saved his grandmother's life when she suffered kidney failure a few years ago......

 

Is she one of the terrorists he was on about? If George Dubya had problems with the English language Obama is obviously still using it as ESOL and if he resorted to Swahili, might actually make some sense.

 

Having had excellent care from the NHS whenever I've needed it, know many employees very well and can vouch for their devotion to the care of the ill and injured, the words of Obama seem to have emanated from the KB school of fact.

 

To date, I reckon people voted for Obama for 3 reasons.... He wasn't Sarah Palin, He wasn't George W Bush, They were in a state of shock.

It's not Obama Alan, it's the 'other side' who are being critical of the NHS.

Oooops!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's still a fair point to make that Obama did nothing to alter the mindset of the critics, and under his family's circumstances I'd have thought he'd have at least offered a rebuttal.

 

From what I've read and seen, though, my comment about his achievement as President aren't too far wide of the mark. It appears that in spite of a sizeable majority in both houses he is trying to persuade opponents to agree to his election promises rather than drive them through although he has an undeniable mandate to do so.

 

He does seem rather long on rhetoric and short on delivery. I hope the next British PM doesn't follow suit.
