A heartfelt relief!

I don’t usually side with politicians, whether they be from the UK or elsewhere but I would like to say my heartfelt congratulations to Barack Obama on wining four more years as President of the United States.

The reason I say this is two-fold.

I was offended when Mr Romley, his opponent, citied us over the Olympics and para-Olympics, saying London wasn’t ready to host the greatest athletic show on earth.

London, in spite of suffering from a double-dip recession (look that up on Wikipedia), did just that.

Then Mr Bromley’s running mate attacked the UK, having a National Heath Service (NHS).

This I also found offensive as I certainly didn’t plan or expect to have Multiple Screlosis (MS).

It just happened to me, for reasons I cannot explain.

One thing is certain; I’m very grateful for the help I’ve received from many, including the administrators, nurses and doctors at various hospitals in London.

I couldn’t afford the treatments I had, including brain scans.


I'm also very grateful for the kindness of strangers, including bus drivers/conductors, who lower the bus they're driving, for me.

They have all been there for me in helping me to understand my symptoms and helped me to come to terms with having this illness.

That’s also the reason why I hope Mr Obama, now that he has four more years, does stay true to his word in allowing America to have its own NHS.

Being a great country, it should be compulsory that no-one is denied medical treatment, even if they are vile or offensive.

As to do so, lets those people off the hook in facing up to their responsibilities too, so in the words said by another American President, let’s do it!

Light and love

Andria
