to answer your question I would have to say no, those are not his true intentions, although I do not think the arguments against his health care plan are good ones in themselves. OK, so if your judging Obama on the basis of: "I judge Obama on the basis that he is using his office to pander for votes through legislation that violates the Constitution and the Bill of Rights" then what is your perspective on Bush (both), Regan, Nixon? Just to focus on Bush, how many international crimes did he commit? Why is he not in jail for being partly responsible for causing millions of American's to be homeless? What about his apathetic attitude to Hurricane Katrina? What about Regan and his corporate interest and the Prison system? These guys are just as bad, if not worse, than Obama, so if your going to judge Obama on things that he has done, which are much more systematic and less direct than what these guys did, then you need to put these guys in the same category. Also there is nothing you can really learn about me from my bio and I am not going to waste my time having to explain or prove anything to you but I will say this: You may have the experience of living in a socialist country but everything that you have said shows that you have no idea what your talking about, so before you start to judge someone and feel great about
