It’s the last
Friday in the month of June! I am Lance
Pisowicz and this is “What’s Wrong With Washington”. As I prepare for my trip to Alaska, I have
been incredibly busy packing and studying for my responsibilities there. I am very excited about my trip and actually
have a meeting at tonight at the time that I normally prepare this blog. So I am writing and recording this week’s
edition prior to my meeting. With that
being said, I will spend most of my time this evening focusing on one key
topic. I have just a couple of reminders
before we begin. Please do check out my
website, Lance Pisowicz Online (www.wix.com/lancejp/online). Also become a subscriber of
my Youtube Channel (www.youtube.com/user/lancejponline), like my Facebook (www.facebook.com/lancepisowicz), or follow
me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/lancejponline). You can also subscribe to my blogs on blogger
(www.wrongwithwashington.blogspot.com and www.lancesweeklywalk.blogspot.com). It would be a pleasure for
me and everyone else involved with Lance Pisowicz Online if you would join us
there sometime.
As I said in
my opening, I will spend my time tonight on one main subject. Sure I could analyze Oreo’s endorsement of
same-sex marriage and offer my insight that a business sells a product and not
an idea, but I think at this point we are all tired of hearing about this
highly controversial issue. The truth
is, at the present time we all have more immediate issues to address. We have millions of people out of work, an
ever-growing national debt, and a health care system that not only goes against
our founding principles but threatens to bankrupt our nation. That last topic I mentioned will be what we
will analyze this evening.
I am sure many
of you are aware of what has been occurring in Washington these past few
weeks. The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4
decision that Obamacare was not unconstitutional. Now reports are surfacing that there was a
initially enough support to strike down the centerpiece of President Obama’s
administration, but Chief Justice John Roberts flipped to support the law. Why would the Chief Supreme Court Justice
(who traditionally has been seen as one of the more conservative jurors) decide
to take the liberal stance?
Regardless of
John Robert’s motives for supporting the law in the end, the Supreme Court’s
ruling will have a significant impact in the November elections. Gone is the option for Democrats to promise a
revised, more “center of the aisle” healthcare plan. They are stuck with the plan they approved in
March of 2010 which led to their heavy defeat in the 2010 mid-term
elections. Could we see a similar result
in 2012? I’d say history is more than
likely to repeat itself.
According to a
recent poll by Fox News, 83.11% of Americans say that they plan to elect
lawmakers to repeal Obamacare rather than accept it and move on.1 After all, the president certainly cannot
expect forgiveness if he hasn’t even apologized.
The
opportunity for the president to act as though Republicans ruined his plan to
provide better healthcare for the people is also gone with the Supreme Court’s
upholding of the law.
With a
significant level of public outrage over the decision rather than acceptance, a
close race between Obama and Romney may be close no longer. I’d expect to see a reasonable drop in
President Obama’s approval ratings when the next poll is conducted.
Democrats now
are forced to attempt to encourage the public that they should simply accept
the Supreme Court’s ruling as the ultimate right. But the fact is that the Supreme Court is
simply just another branch of government.
The Judicial government is no more immune to public outrage than the
Legislative or Executive branches.
The truth is
the American people are the boss when it comes to government, and that includes
all branches. Unlike Wisconsin’s
decision to retain Scott Walker as governor (a decision made by the people),
the decision to uphold Obamacare was made by a group of jurors who have been
permitted to retain their positions for life regardless of the people’s opinion
of them.
In Washington,
nine government officials spoke and stood for the left. In Wisconsin, the people spoke and stood
against the left. In November I believe
the people’s voice will mean a whole lot more.
That will be
it for us tonight. For those of you
wondering about the Ultimate Patriot competition and sweepstakes, I encourage
you to visit the official website of the event at: www.wix.com/lancejp/patriot
for more information. There you will
find documents, links, a promo video, and a whole lot more. By the way, the entire event is free and you
have the opportunity to win a $25 Restaurants.com E-Gift Certificate if you
participate. I hope you’ll join us with
that. Also, If you would like to have the
opportunity to share your thoughts with me and all the viewers/readers of Lance
Pisowicz Online, you can leave me a message/reply that might even be shared on
the show, be sure to head over to: http://lponline.wufoo.com/forms/z7x3k7/ to take part in that.
I will not be presenting a “Lance’s Weekly Walk” this Sunday since I
will be at my family reunion. I will
return with another “What’s Wrong With Washington” next Friday.
To close with
this evening, I have a message from one of our greater readers and viewers from
the great state of Ohio and the city of Columbus.
“Not about the
economy, never really was; rather the Constitution and freedoms for which we
have struggled mightily. Unborn citizens
subjected to slaughter everyday, Catholics stripped of conscience protection in
the name of “health” care. Send those
who love our Constitution to the Senate and White House! VOTE-FIX WASHINGTON-REPAIR the USA!”
-Karen Kurfiss
Columbus, Ohio
I hope you
have enjoyed our broadcast tonight, as much as I have. Thanks again, and God bless you all. I will see you one last time (Sunday) before
I leave for my ten day trip to Alaska.
Have a great weekend!
