Obama's First 100 Days: Too Much Freight on the Truck?

[angryislander56]

balls in the air

freight on the truck

cliche is all they got

[stengevarsel]

Clichés is what defines US politics, at least the PR part of it. And the US media feeds on it. Education is what America needs. Common sense is key, especially when looking at it from a republican view. The Republican Party points at its followers and say: "Look, its what the people wants." In a free and safe society, what the people wants is rarely what it needs.

[stengevarsel]

EDIT: What republicans want is rarely what they need.

Republicans are largely uneducated and childlike.

[webbj123]

Yeah my PhD in engineering is very uneducated and my time serving in the military made me grow up to be child unlike you with your amazing world experience which was what again?

[stengevarsel]

I forgot to mention that intelligence is the governing factor. Oh, and I served in the army too.

[webbj123]

Thank you for your service, i mean no sarcasm in that, but your original comment states that Republicans are uneducated and childlike. THis comment is based on nothing but a rant. Admittedly their are some real idiots in the GOP, but their are just as many within the Dems.

[stengevarsel]

Yeah, I guess it was based on a rant. And I'm afraid it was he Norwegian army, but hey, we are allies.

[webbj123]

You act like you are apologizing for your service in the Norwegian Army. I respect you for standing up for your beliefs regardless of the uniform, even if it was the uniform of one of my enemies. I also have respect for certain liberals, i just think that name calling only emboldens the opposition and ends up accomplishing nothing.

[stengevarsel]

I would never apologize for serving my country. But since you thanked me, I assumed that you assumed that I served in the US Armed Forces.

I do, however, apologize for writing before thinking.

the "first 100 days" was even earlier than napolean according to partha bose - he traced it to as early as alexander the great whom napolean modelled himself after to a great level.

If President Obama can REALLY get us something similar to Universal Healthcare... he will be remembered in a positive light for a LONG time. America is DYING for affordable Healthcare Coverage... it's not even an argument. The only people who oppose it are the well funded lobbyists and promoters who act on behalf of the enormous Pharmaceutical companies. My Mother pays $533 per PILL for her cancer treatments. 5 pills a week.

It IS time for a change and SOME won't like it very much.

[zax808]

Couldn't agree with you more man. im sure you have seen the movie sicko, if you haven't. check it out.

my sympathy goes out to your mom. hope obama puts a plan into to motion that can be of a great benefit to her.

You guys dont understand the very basics of economics... universal health care does not work.

Take it from a canadian.. our version of national health care blows..... id rather have to save a bit more to pay for bills then hang out for 8 hours in the ER with broken arm.

[zax808]

No, i understand them well. every country in the northern hemisphere has universal health care. and who says you have to wait in the ER for 8hrs. really? that could happened just as easy in hospitals here in the us. so how could there salary result in speed? sure, maybe a little more motivation. but then again, they would be getting paid very well from the government. just for arguments sake. lets say you take the money were spending on the war and put towards the payment of doctors...?

[zax808]

that would mean, no increase in taxes. and health care for all. stop buying into the nixon approach. SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!!! OH MY FUCKING GODDD!!!! WERE ALL GOING TO TURN INTO COMMIE'S

[rebharath]

the thing is you might get healthcare faster in the states but you're way more likely to end up bankrupt from medical bills. mho, i'd rather wait a bit for treatment than rush into bankruptcy.

[8av8today]

I did not vote for mr.obama but I do agree with a health care system for everyone and anyone who needs it.

My father is a doctor and he is clearly unhappy with the way the insurance companies manipulate what he can and cannot do to save the patient. It's not what the insurance company says, it should ultimately be up to the doctor to decide and the insurance to pay the bill.

That 533 dollar pill costs 5.00 to produce. I've seen them go up to 1,200 for one pill.

Hope she pulls through:)
