Dear President Obama. Why does everything have to be so damn hard? Doctor, Doctor,

National health card? Will see.

We hear it on almost a daily basis. President Obama assuring us that the task at hand is arduous. And that making change, will be very, very hard. Change, will require a sacrifice from all of us.

No more 0 interest credit cards. Too hard to come by.

No more large S.U.V's. too hard to keep fuel in, Too hard to justify with the neighbors.

No more executive bonuses. too hard to justify in this down economy.

No more stated income loans for the self employed. Too hard to convince the public, that this type of loan is O.K. for the credit worthy.

No more derivative trading. To hard for companies like A.I.G. to underwrite. Too hard.

Now that over half of the TARP fund has been lent to the nations largest banks, Oh yea, I know, they're paying it back. The Treasury department with the blessing of President Obama , has stated, You guessed it, it is way TOO HARD to determine where the funds have been applied.

Has the TARP, been effective at turning the tide of the financial sector fiasco? TOO HARD to tell.

When reviewing the progress of President Obama's pet housing program, The Home Owner Stability Act, we find once again, that "TOO HARD", has entered into the equation.

It turns out that the majority of those applying for the bailout, claim that it is TOO HARD to qualify for. The Government figures indicate that less than 60,000 have applied for a program intended for 9 million.

Recently, the President decided to turn his attention to national universal health care. An issue near and dear to most. And a big part of Obama's campaign promise train.

Last week, we were assured once again by the Obama team, that the health care issue was front and center on the Presidents agenda. Mr. Obama demanded that Congress place a health bill on his desk no latter than November.

Many in Congress protested, stating that it would be TOO HARD to meet that deadline.

Unreasonable , outrageous. Not enough time to iron out a proposal. Apparently two decades had not been long enough to review the possibilities.

During President Obama's speech before the A.M.A. on Monday, jeers and boos were heard in the audience, as the President addressed the crowd.

I would expect nothing less from a room full of Doctors. Let's face it, it is probably way TOO HARD for some of the smartest men and women on the planet to modify the existing health industry. WAY TOO HARD..
