The 44th president of the United States of America was Barack Hussein Obama and there is nothing you can do about it.

While sitting listening to the continuing news about the same thing, it occurred to me that much of the discussion about the Affordable Care Act centered around the fact that this legislation has adopted the name Obamacare. It seems that if President Obamas name was not on this legislation, there might be a better attitude about fixing what has already passed rather than repealing what is helping so many.

This attempt to wipe out everything Obama influenced is not the first time we humans have viciously tried to smear, distort and remove the names and images of our predecessors. In ancient Egypt, there was a queen that was extremely powerful. She encouraged learning. She established a system of economic development. She was an awesome sister. Upon her death, her own son was so jealous that he instructed all of the stone masons in the country to chisel her face from all of the monuments in the kingdom depicting her image. That boy had some strong hate.

In early Christian lore, the Romans, in an effort to intimidate, frighten and wipe out the young Christian community, had their places of worship, birth and villages destroyed. It was impossible to find remnants of early Christian life. (Thank you, Fr. Gavin.)

So, trying to wipe out images and memories of success by your predecessor is not new. However, just like the queens of Egypt and early Christian life, the good works of Obama will not be erased.

The Affordable Care Act worked in Massachusetts until it arrived in Washington, D.C., and a black man working with all races and genders was able to give people health insurance that they had never had before. The Affordable Care Act was a Republican recommendation at the Brookings Institute until a black man had the audacity to say, I will work with you and make this my signature legislation.

Then what can be considered the most insane action of all is the very people who stand to lose the most are continuing to support those legislators who will take away the only health insurance they have ever had in their life, just because the legislation is lovingly called Obamacare. Obamacare isnt even the real name.

It seems as though there is an attempt to chisel the word Obama from all acts that were passed during the eight years of his service to our country. During his administration there were no scandals, no criminal charges and no investigations.

So, like it or not Barack Hussein Obama was our 44th president. Haters, there is nothing you can do about it.
