WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!
Repasted from everywhere...
Obama inherited a 6% unemployment rate. Today it is at 10.2%
Obama inherited a 1.4 trillion dollar deficit. Today it is at 11 trillion
Obama inherited an 8 year period of no terrorist attacks on our soil.Now over.
This country was founded for FREEDOM & LIBERTY not for money !!!!!!
What passed is the " Abortion Restriction Amendment Wins Passage in the U.S. House""
NOT THE HEALTH CARE BILL
They'll just put me to sleep. :(
You'll NEVER see another black President in your lifetimes either...we tried it once....saw how his party failed him so and the moderates and centrists who got him elected are bailing out as we speak......
Sorry about that One Term Barry........
I can only expect that you will be shocked when you are denied some procedure because some bureaucrat felt that they knew more than your doctor. Or that someone you love is denied treatment because they are too old for it to matter. Or when doctor rationing makes it near impossible to see a doctor in any decent amount of time. Or when the government decides what doctor you are allowed to actually see.
The liberals have succeeded in painting a rosy picture of British and Canadian healthcare but ask yourself this: if their healthcare is so great, why do many come to the US for treatment instead of staying in their own country? A few minutes of research will tell you why. While you're at it, ask yourself why there are provisions in the bill saying that the senators and such are exempt from it? If it's so great why don't they use it too?
In the end, after 10 years and more than a trillion dollars have gone by, this will really only benefit about 2% of the population. When the government option has put insurance companies accounting for 14% of our economy are gone and those people are jobless. When the dems continue our spiral into total socialism and destroy what this country was founded on. Hopefully then you will see that this was NEVER about the people and their well being.
It was only for power.
(although in his defense, he never said "Change for the better"...
THIS IS A SHAME
There is hope for our country.
AND NOW obama is just taking that away, destroying everything this country was founded on and what MADE US THE GREATEST NATION in the WORLD.
Our "government" was established to ENFORCE the CONSTITUTION not to give us health care and take our RIGHTS AWAY.....
THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE_____________________
You complain about Bush ( FIRST OFF- I DID NOT VOTE FOR OR EVEN LIKE BUSH BUT )
If George Bush was an idiot. . . .
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May
(Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.
EVEN 66% of the people on the survey HERE DISAPPROVE of the obam plan
What do you expect from those who live in trailers and have a rusted pickup with a bed full of beer cans up on blocks in their yard? Northeast Florida is still the most ignorant place in the state.
An educated person does not post racist B S like that....
As to my history,My earliest American ancestors came to Jamestown in the 1660s and came to Pennsylvania as part of William Penn's migration. I have three lineal ancestors who fought in the American Revolution. One from my mother's family, two on my father's side. And BTW I am caucasian.
PROOF that sombody that would use the tag biotch is a complete DA
So now President Obama has KINDLY taken it on Himself to try and fix it for those who really need it, But wait...thats NOT good enuf...He isnt doing it the way WE want Him to. BUt wait again...have we as a people ever turned anyone in for abusing the system, when we see it everyday?
NO then that would take away one more thing we would have to complain about in a chat forum.
Each state has their own little goofiness that they have passed into law in order to make the politicians of their state look better. Every time one of these laws is passed, the price goes up.
Right now, if you buy health insurance in Florida, the insurance company BY LAW has to add a rehab coverage to your health policy. Rehab is expansive. That adds a good amount to your premium. "I'm a healthy and responsible adult who doesn't use drugs or alcohol. I don't want that coverage." you say? Too bad. The state says you have to have it so it's an extra 30 bucks a month.
If you a girl? Pregnancy coverage. Doesn't matter how responsible or celibate you are. You MUST have pregnancy coverage. That is quite expensive.

Now it is OK for them to do that. It is legal. However, hundreds of us have mde our retirement plans based on that benefit. I also have researched and found several other companies who offer better benefits at half the cost of the one being offered by them.
Now Medicare benefits are being reduced after having paid $1000'sinto it over the years of employment. No one has specualted about what will happen to medicare recipients at least I haven't heard anything on the news. DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT OLDER FOLK.
After all, somebody's gotta pay the bills.
Besides, I am having to work so much with ALL these jobs you made for us disciples.
Thank YOU Barry, you are still my HERO!
To Congress:
DO NOT DO THIS!!! Anyone who calls themsleves "moderate" WILL be voted out of office if they vote for this DEBACLE!
We, the people voted for you to REPRESENT US. Think about that, and vote AGAINST any reform of any kind. What we need in the case of health care is not total transformation, but TORT reform and allowing all Americans to buy insurance across state lines would be a great start.
To spend the kind of money reform would require, no matter how you sugar-coat it, is more than we have or can get. The dirty little secret is, this is not about health care, it is about political power.
DO NOT allow the government to tell us what we can and cannot do in the area of health care or any other area. The US Constitution is intended to protect us from this kind of thing, but the current regime is ignoring the Constitution and nobody is stopping them.
This is why we have a checks and balance system, but now the checks and balances have been defeated because democrats are in majority in Congress and the Presidency.
All we Christians can do is pray. But do not be fooled, prayer is powerful, and God is more powerful than any administration. All God's people need to pray for our leaders, that they will follow His will, and stop the madness.
This country was founded for FREEDOM & LIBERTY not for money !!!!!!
repeating for those who haven't read all the posts...the following is a link to see who voted for what followed by a link to their states.
Read 'em and take action at the polls, folks.

Now, for the one who wrote the "what ifs", what did bush to in his 8 years of embassesments to the United States. All around the countries we as a people were looked as a joke. There was no respect from other countries, at lease we as people might re-gain respect and hopefully we will have world peace. Understand how much this president has to substance in order to get this country back on track, its takes about two turns or more, just as President Clinton; he had to turn this country around in to profit after two turns of bushes. All I am saying to you and the haters, lets give this President a chance, after two years and we don't see a little of what he has promise, then I am with you. Just look at this as if you, married into a family and the house was in an up roar, hopefully you will try everything in your power, but with easy to straighten this matter out, if not you will just fix in with the mess. Also, you must look at the day of this age and time, you must reach the people by all means necessary, he need this right now. Because the President is a person of this era and the next don't hate, but love it.
What Bush did is history now and as a United Nation we prevailed, what obama is doing is destroying the fundamental values of our nation that made us the great nation we were. There is more discourse and racism than ever...
We do not get respect by borrowing from, bowing to, or begging from other nations. Our government is there to serve us not for us to serve OR be controlled by it..
Hope and pray we are wrong because if we are not there will be NO RECOVERY from what he IS doing.
Maybe dumb azz Bush will let you park your trailer on his lot in dallas
WHY are Americans allowing the first two to be taken away????
You be wacist if you against it.
He be a wacist.
Bawack Hussein Obama..
YO YO YO

Both you AND your Allah can go to hell...
Hold to forgiveness, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant. (Qur'an, 7: 199)
In another verse Allah commands: "… They should rather pardon and overlook. Would you not love Allah to forgive you? Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Qur'an, 24:22)
Those who do not abide by the moral values of the Qur'an find it very difficult to forgive others. Because, they are easily angered by any error committed. However, Allah has advised the faithful that forgiveness is more proper:
The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But if someone pardons and puts things right, his reward is with Allah… (Qur'an, 42:40)
…. But if you pardon and exonerate and forgive, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 64: 14)
It has also been revealed in the Qur'an that forgiveness is a superior moral trait: "But if someone is steadfast and forgives, that is the most resolute course to follow." (Qur'an, 42:43) For that reason, believers are forgiving, compassionate and tolerant people who, as revealed in the Qur'an, "control their rage and pardon other people." (Qur'an, 3:134)
Believers' notion of forgiveness is very different to that of those who do not live by the morals of the Qur'an. Even though many people may say they have forgiven someone who has offended them, it nevertheless takes a long time to free themselves of the hatred and anger in their hearts. Their behaviour tends to betray that anger. On the other hand, the forgiveness of believers is sincere. Because believers know that human beings are tried in this world, and learn by their mistakes, they are tolerant and compassionate. Moreover, believers are also capable of forgiveness even when they are in the right, and the other in the wrong. When forgiving, they make no distinction between large errors and small ones. Someone may cause severe losses to them by mistake. However, believers know that everything takes place under the command of Allah, and according to a specific destiny, and therefore, they surrender themselves to these developments, never acquiescing to anger.
According to recent research, American scientists established that those capable of forgiveness are healthier in both mind and body. Dr. Frederic Luskin, who holds a Ph.D. in Counselling and Health Psychology from Stanford University, and his team, studied 259 people living in the city of San Francisco. The scientists invited the subjects to attend six one-and-a-half-hour sessions, and aimed to instruct the subjects in forgiveness during their conversations.
The subjects of the experiments stated that they suffered less after forgiving people who had wronged them. The research showed that people who learned to forgive feel much better, not only emotionally but also physically. For example, it was established that after the experiment psychological and physical symptoms such as stress-related backache, insomnia and stomachaches were significantly reduced in these individuals.
In his book, Forgive for Good, Dr. Frederic Luskin describes forgiveness as a proven recipe for health and happiness. The book describes how forgiveness promotes such positive states of mind as hope, patience and self-confidence by reducing anger, suffering, depression and stress. According to Dr. Luskin, harboured anger causes observable physical effects in the individual. He goes on to say that:
The thing about long-term or unresolved anger, is we've seen it resets the internal thermostat. When you get used to a low level of anger all the time, you don't recognize what's normal. It creates a kind of adrenaline rush that people get used to. It burns out the body and makes it difficult to think clearly-making the situation worse.69
In addition, Dr. Luskin says, when the body releases certain enzymes during anger and stress, cholesterol and blood pressure levels go up-not a good long-term disposition to maintain the body in.70
An article called "Forgiveness," published in the September-October 1996 edition of Healing Currents Magazine, stated that anger towards an individual or an event led to negative emotions in people, and harmed their emotional balance and even their physical health.71 The article also states that people realise after a while that the anger is a nuisance to them, and wish to repair the damage to the relationship. So, they take steps to forgive. It is also stated that, despite all they endure, people do not want to waste the precious moments of their life in anger and anxiety, and prefer to forgive themselves and others.72
In another study involving 1,500 people depression, stress and mental illness were observed to be less frequent in religious people. Dr. Herbert Benson, who conducted the research, linked this to the way religions encourage "forgiveness", and went on to say:
There's a physiology of forgiveness… When you do not forgive, it will chew you up.73
According to an article titled, "Anger is Hostile To Your Heart," published in the Harvard Gazette, anger is extremely harmful to the heart. Ichiro Kawachi, an assistant professor of medicine, and his team scientifically demonstrated this with various tests and measurements. As a result of their research, they established that grumpy old men had three times the risk of heart disease than their more tempered peers. "The tripling of risk," Kawachi says, "involves high levels of anger, explosive anger that includes smashing things and wanting to hurt someone in a fight."74
Researchers believe that release of stress hormones, increased oxygen demand by the heart's muscle cells, and added stickiness of blood platelets, which leads to clots explain how anger increases the chance of a heart attack.75 Furthermore, at times of anger, the pulse rises above its normal level, and leads to increased blood pressure in the arteries, and thus to a greater risk of heart attack.
According to researchers, anger and hostility can also trigger the production of proteins linked to inflammation in the blood. The journal Psychosomatic Medicine suggested that the emotion triggers the production of inflammatory proteins, which may in turn be causing the hardening of the arteries, causing heart disease and stroke.76 According to Associate Professor Edward Suarez of the Duke University Medical Centre in North Carolina, the protein interleukin 6 (or IL-6) is much higher in men who are angry and depressed. High blood levels of IL-6 lead to atherosclerosis, the build-up of fatty deposits in the lining of the walls of arteries.77 According to Suarez, as well as factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, obesity and high cholesterol, heart disease is also linked to psychological states such as depression, anger and hostility.78
Another article, titled "Anger Raises Risk of Heart Attack," published in The Times, stated that a short temper might be a short cut to a heart attack, and that young men who reacted to stress by becoming angry were three times more likely to develop premature heart disease, and were five times more likely to have an early heart attack.79 Scientists at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, found that quick-tempered men are at risk of heart attack even if there is no family history of heart disease.80
All the available research shows that anger is a state of mind that seriously damages human health. Forgiveness, on the other hand, even if it comes hard to people, is pleasing, an aspect of superior morals, that eliminates all the harmful effects of anger, and helps the individual to enjoy a healthy life, both psychologically and physically. Forgiveness, of course, is one of a form of behaviour by which a person can stay healthy, and a positive virtue everyone should live by. However, the true aim of forgiveness-as in all else-must be to please Allah. The fact that the features of this sort of morality, and that the benefits of which have been scientifically identified, have been revealed in many verses of the Qur'an, is just one of the many sources of wisdom it contains.
is this the so called religion of peace?
Also those that have follow your religion and declared JUHAD don't have to worry about heart attacks. They just have to worry about whether they have killed enough people in the name of Allah. They are not going to get their 72 virgins; they are going to get 72++ nut cases just like them when they pass on.
Give the man, Obama, credit for one thing; he is keeping to his campaign promises. Whether bad or good, he is keeping to his promises. That is more then I can say about past presidents.
But those BRILLIANT ones like YOU want the government to run your entire life, cradle to grave... and with the GOVERNMENT dictating what doctor you can see and what medicines you can have, I hope you've got the GOVERNMENT paying for your grave.... You'll need it much sooner!!
Some highlights from the republican plan: Increasing incentives for people to use health savings accounts, Capping non-economic awards in medical malpractices cases, Incentives for states to drive down premium costs, Allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines
Right now, if you buy health insurance in Florida, the insurance company BY LAW has to add a rehab coverage to your health policy. Rehab is expansive. That adds a good amount to your premium. "I'm a healthy and responsible adult who doesn't use drugs or alcohol. I don't want that coverage." you say? Too bad. The state says you have to have it so it's an extra 30 bucks a month.
If you a girl? Pregnancy coverage. Doesn't matter how responsible or celibate you are. You MUST have pregnancy coverage.
The list goes on and on.
In fact, the administration has treated the constitution as more of a roadblock or nuisance to be ignored than THE BLUEPRINT TO THIS COUNTRY.

There were mosre protestors and more written about GWB and his mistakes. He pretty much laid low toward the remaining yrs in ofc and you never heard hardly anything about his wife.
I am in agreement with you on the "differences" tha tyou stated between the two. I hav always felt and believed Obama is a front man for a few powerful corrupted people that the Americans would have never have elected if one had run for President.

That's my comment: that is my opinion. It has nothing to do with race. I am definitely not perfect and make mistakes.Yet, when it comes to something as touchy as a political issue it helps to write something that does not leave one thinking, "Say what now?"
