Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) recently took a look at the U.S. healthcare system from a nurse’s perspective.

Obama, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. presidency, shadowed Kate Marzluf, RN, a staff nurse on the cardiology unit at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for 90 minutes. He reportedly did his best to hand out medications and interact with patients while the media swarmed him at every turn. Afterwards, he turned his full attention to reporters to talk about the healthcare problems in the country and his plans to make them a top priority.

You can view pictures of Obama’s visit to the hospital here.

    Even when we get addicted to a certain game, most of us eventually move on to try other games. It dawned on me that it makes little sense to buy new games since I only end up playing them for a couple months. Which is exactly why Gamefly is the ideal service for gamers like me. Gamefly offers 7000 video games you can rent and have them sent to your address. When you are done with a game, you send it back to get more games.

    Well, my dreams and hopes have come true! This is everything I have dreamed about for years and years – a safe way to enjoy smoking.

Talk about an “Axis of Evil!” We don’t need to look across the oceans for this because we have it home grown right her in the good old USA!
