President Obama - Raleigh Health Care Town Hall Highlights

[jeffmagic32]

Lies, lies lies!

[TheRonaldo666]

The Dems won by focusing on solutions. McCain had none. Bush destroyed the country and people wanted solutions.

Bush claimed to be conservative, but violated every conservative principle possible; same way he violated everything else.

[jeffmagic32]

The Dems have no solutions - they are only creating more problems.

[braveheart1779]

that sounds like all politicians on both sides including your own party!

[jeffmagic32]

I assume you are referring to President Obama and his misguided socialist policies.  I concur, he is an idiot. No way the American people are going to buy this propaganda.

[SickOfPunditsOnTV]

Private Co Bureaucrats BETWEEN you and your doctor, denying care. Only purpose: deny as much care as possible to maximize profits for the private Co.s. Then they get HUGE bonuses and you or your relation dies because that critical procedure was NIXED!

[thecandidate0607]

Yeah but if they do that too much they stand the chance of getting sued if the government is running health care who is to blame for screw ups?

[Transform30]

This health care reform is a govt. run program. That's there was hundreds of protesters outside of this meeting when Obama was coming in. Many people has signs up, like "keep your hand of my health care", or "Obamamedicare is not what we need". Plus they booed his motorcade. Now 52 of Americans oppose the plan, well 47% support it.

[johnjjd]

Obama gave his kids more time to pick a family dog than he is giving Congress to pass major healthcare legislation.

[AdamSearing]

As the President said in Raleigh - no one is voting on this bill until Sept - Oct. Congress is about to go on August recess. If any Senators or Reps would like to take the bill home and read it over the break, they will have plenty of time to do so!

[thecandidate0607]

I think what he meant was before the recess he stated he wanted the bill by the end of the week or something like that giving about 5 days of debate on a major issue. If something like this is supposed to be so great I would expect it to take a long time. I mean the writers of the constitution spent MONTHS in a cramped hot ass building debating the constitution I would expect ATLEAST half that effort in healthcare legislation. I mean if its going to be done it needs to be done right.

[ed2kou1]

Call your Reps, tell them no to this health care plan. Tell them we want the same health care they have. What's wrong with that. Don't they work for us, we the people. Are they kings! HOW CAN YOU TELL ME I'M WRONG! DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. DON'T WE DESERVE THE SAME HEALTH CARE. WHY IN THE BILL IS CONGRESS EXEMPT. I MEAN IF IT'S SO GOOD, THEY SHOULD TAKE IT AS WELL. WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER

[angelaj1939]

It does not matter what the neo cons have to say any more. GOP is done

[dkkght46]

Anj, what is a neo-con? Do you have any idea?

[ed2kou1]

You better look at BHO poll numbers. AMERICA IS WAKING UP! I voted for BHO, I was fooled. Ask around many people that voted for him say this is not what they were voting for. He fooled alot of people. He's a liar, he's a racist.

[angelaj1939]

The pot calling the kettle black. Look in the mirror then write me and tell me who the racist is. You don't know how rediculous you sound the man's mother is white and he was raised by his white grand parents. I don't even know why I took time out of my busy day to respond to your asinine comment. Just by your comment I know you are lying when you say you voted for Obama because he got the educated vote that is why we are able to see the bigger picture of what he is doing. See ya

[ed2kou1]

BHO even said his grandmother was a racist. You know people have watered down the word racist anymore it don't mean anything. BHO by his own admission said he didn't have all the facts but he just assumed the cops were racist. The professor is a big time racist, if you can remove your head from your ass, and quit watching msnbc, You'llsee there were tapes found, where the good professor was being a racist. I like people like you, you think you know everything. Mccain is not a real Republican.

[AdamSearing]

thanks - I'm also struck by all the people who say they don't want this reform but aren't offering any real alternative. Our current system is just out of control. Health costs have doubled in the last ten years - there isn't any debate about that. None of us, businesses, individuals, government, can afford for costs to double again. We're in the hole enough as it is.

[statefarmagentinnc]

thanks for putting this together. as someone 16 years in the insurance industry, obama was correct when he said, he does always work well for insurance companies but not always good for you.

what part is bad?

ok i won't be denied cvg based on my medical history.

i won't be denied cvg if i leave a job.

i still have a choice.

so what about all the propaganda going around? hahahaha

again, thanks adam!

[ed2kou1]

Be sure to call your represenitives, tell them to vote no to this health care crap. tell them we want the same health care they have. together we can win. tell your friends neighbors, coworkers ect. RALLY AMERICA

[xinuflux]

Hope he succeeds. America certainly has the best health care in the world if you are young, healthy and employed by a large company...

[amirla84]

only one thing obama is good at. and that is talking.

[ed2kou1]

lYING AND BEING A HYPOCRITE! HE'S GOOD AT THAT TO.

[AdamSearing]

What, exactly, is the President supposedly lying about? Can you imagine George Bush being even a tenth as in command of such a complicated issue? There's no way Bush could answer the questions and give the presentation on health care Obama gave today.

[adamhawk71]

President Bush got a prescription drug plan passed when no other president could. So give him credit on that. Another government plan that I dont agree with. 90% of Americans have health care, of those 90%, 80% are happy with the coverage they receive. My concern about his plan is is the government plan going to be on the same playing field as the private sector. If not, the private sector will be gone in 5 years for regular people. Thats not choice now is it!

[AdamSearing]

Well, Bush got a drug plan passed, but he didn't pay for it - we just added the cost to the deficit. Funny how all the people who voted for that are now so concerned about costs.

And I agree - most people are happy with their coverage and they should keep it. A public plan should be structured so it competes on a level playing field.

[ed2kou1]

You want to talk about deficits lol. What has your god BHO DONE!

[timothyscottgilbert]

%90....does this poll include the millions of homeless ppl in our country....I think not...

[d2guru82]

liar

[ncnavymom]

what a liar
