  • I fucking hate this guy ... *im talking about the news guy*

    congrats obama

  • Progressive = Socialism

    Give everyone what they want at the price of higher taxes, watch the govt struggle to keep it up, then watch our country crumble when it tries to take some of the entitlements back - watch Greece.

    If anyone cares - Read "The 5000 Year Leap" written in 1981, great insight to the principles of our founding fathers. Every young adult should read.

  • They all work for the same puppet masters.

  • @CrushJehovah - According to Ron Pau Obama's a corporatist.

  • @CrushJehovah - According to Ron Paul Obama's a corporatist.

  • Thanks to the millions of idiots wo voted for Obama my faith has gone. When are you all going to wake form your dream world.

  • Thanks to the millions of people that voted for Obama. My faith was renewed in the American ppl. When despite all the false and negative things said about Obama. Fox Noise was unable to stop it, they're just not enough hillbillies around.

  • thank god? Do me a favor look up Obama. Look at his history. Look at the people on his administration. The people who voted in Obama know nothing about obama or the scumbags on his admin. Im sure the tv gave you a false image with all this bullshit superstar status...when are we gonna wake up and vote for an honest man instead of a puppet who reads off teleprompters

  • @jvj420

    So, It has been over a year since you said this. Do you still feel this way?

  • Absolutely! The other ticket wasnt even a option. Especially how far right the GOP has gone. I'll vote for his re-election too.  When he get a real majority this Nov. just sit back & enjoy the show

  • I hope you are joking when you say the recession is from Obama. it started BEFORE he was even elected. It was also decades in the making. no matter who it is, it is not going to be fixed in 4 months.

    Don't count your chickens until they're hatched. I can agree in saying the bailouts of the banks shouldn't have happened, BUT wait and see if the work (since they are already in motion) before a decision is made

  • Obama caused the recession like Bush caused world war 2...

  • shut the fuck up your clueless. the recession started by bush and obama is going to try and fix it. WWII happen before bush was born.

  • Sarcasm, angry man. I was responding to zahnrad.  Don't be so angry.

  • Cenk, just wanted to let you know that you're doing an excellent job and that many of us (myself included) really enjoy your videos. You're a "tell it like it is" type of guy. Ignore all these haters, man. The people calling you anti-American are probably the same ones who voted for Bush and support wiretapping and torture.

  • really...

    why do you think he is anti-american?

  • Seriously, though.

    Most legal scholars are liberal minded. It's funny to say "balanced". Just look at the US constitution, how liberal that is.

    Most so called conservative judges are already made up their mind before he or she went to the school and refused to accept what they learn.

  • I think Souter left off a whistle of relief after O. was elected.

    I think hw would have drorpped after Gore v. Bush, if not for the threat of having Bush to chose his successor.

    A real man of duty and service.

  • yea..souter was happy that mr.O won.back in 2000 election he wanted the re-count to be extended and tried to purse the swing vote judge but the idiot voted bush as the winner(5-4).and its said from that day it affected souter and thats why he finally retired after O won.

  • Stephenkingrocks-I wish Obama was a Socialist! I WANT NATIONAL HEALTHCARE!!!!!!

    See it looks like Obamas plan is going to work.The Capitalists on Wall St seem to like it. Too bad the Gop has done so much damage in so many critical areas.

  • BACK TO ACTING --sabu--DEMOCRATS BARNEY "QUEENIE" FRANK AND CHRIS DODD CAUSED THE FINANCIAL MESS. AND YOU KNOW THIS, DUMMIE, IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ AND UNDERSTAND ENGLISH..,-- "BLAME BUSH FIRST" HAS GONE OUT OF FASHION, EXCEPT FOR MENTAL MIDGETS LIKE YOU AND THEIR PROGENY....AND, REGARDING THE MESSIAH'S THREAT TO EXPOSE ISRAEL'S NUCLAR DEFENSES TO THE WORLD? I KNOW,--IT IS TOUGH TO JUSTIFY MESSIAH'S DAILY BLUNDERS. THIS GUY IS A RADICAL LIB LUNATIC, AND, LIKE YOU, A SOCIALIST FOOL.

  • You wouldn't know a real Socialist if he kicked your dumb ass to the moon. Keep drinking the Drool Aid, moron.

  • barry soetoro applied for and received financial aide as a foreign national at occidental college. he should be tried by the SCOTUS instead of selecting a member. . .

    he is either guilty of fraud or he is an illegal alien.

    "obama occidental citizenship"

  • The Messiah announced today-(para)--"If Israel does not agree to my (demands) and terms, I WILL REVEAL THEIR ENTIRE NUCLEAR DEFENSE SYSTEM AND PLANS) !!!

    THIS S.O.B. IS NUTS!!! HE IS A TRAITOR TO HUMANITY!!

    HIS LYING, CHEATING, AND THREATENING OF OUR CLOSE ALLY IS NEARLY UNBELIEVABLE. EVEN YOU LIBERAL VOTERS MUST BE WAKING UP TO THE FACT YOU ELECTED A DANGEROUS, COWARDLY SOCIALIST.

    THE OBAMA RECESSION AND HIS PREMEDITATED

    DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES CAPITALISM-DRIVEN ECONOMY CONTINUES

  • The 'Obama Recession'?! - Earth-2-dipstick: This recession is the direct result of 8 years of Bush Inc., their wars that have bled this country to the tune of zillions, their tax cuts for the richest of the rich, and their advocation for total deregulation of the financial industry and big business. Even a Rethuglican dittomonkey like you should be smart enough to figure that one out.

  • fuck Israel...it's not worth the trouble

  • I would rather not have some idiot democrat twisting the words of the constitution.

  • barry soetoro applied for and received financial aide as a foreign national at occidental college. he should be appearing before SCOTUS as a defendant instead of picking his own judge. this is an insult and a disgrace to all Americans.

    search this "obama occidental citizenship"

    get ready for BideNation

    he is a buffoon, but at least he is an American.

  • God does not give a f*ck who is the president of the united states.

  • ........

    This video troubles me. We need liberals and conservatives on the bench--thats a given. We need both sides represented.

    But Obama's record for appointees is troubling to say the least. The primary names that are being thrown around as his possible candidates are typically impositionist judges, not judges who will uphold the constitution. The supreme court's only purpose is to uphold the constitution, and far leftist tend to RE-interpret and impose new spins on old doctrine.

  • oh and bush appointed both sides right?

    Republicans should go back to Mexico!

  • Who said anything about Bush? Bush was an idiot.

  • "michigan vs. jackson obama supreme court"

    CHANGE YOU CAN COUNT ON-PATRIOT ACT PART TWO

  • SOPHIEMARIE--BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL FOR YOU....In 1977 the Reinvestment Act was signed byJimmy Carter (Clinton was still in Arkansas). The ORIGINAL ACT WAS NOT REPREHENSIBLE. It was, in part, quite laudatory. It was the LEGISLATIVE REVISIONS TO THE ACT in 2005, promoted by Democrats "Queenie" Frank and C. Dodd, which contributed enormously to the subprime mess and now the Obama recession. AND "THE MESSIAH" WAS IN THE SENATE--since 2004-- AND SUPPORTED THESE dismal regulations. .ANY QUESTIONS???

  • We just need a freaking judge who will interpret the Constitution as is...not one who will re-think it according to their "feeeelings"....geez folks.

  • Its not about Repub or Democrat they are all the same (except Ron Paul). They are all trying to create the biggest government ever known to man. We are trillions in debt from Bush and Obama is exponentially growing that debt fast than any president before. Obama is spending more than every president combined.

  • bush was the setup man, barry is the closer

    for team FEDERAL RESERVE

  • WAKE UP "PEACEPAT"--BARNEY FRANK AND CHRIS DODD (DEMOCRATS) PERSONALLY PUSHED BANKS (ALBEIT CIRCUITOUSLY) TO LEND TO PEOPLE WHO HAD NO CHANCE IN HELL OF PAYING THEIR MORTGAGE. AND , please note, THAT THE MESSIAH, THE OBAMANATION , THE CHOSEN ONE,--SUPPORTED EVERY FACET OF THIS MONUMENTAL STUPIDITY AS A DEMOCRAT .MEMBER OF CONGRESS..WE ARE IN, IN FACT, AN OBAMA RECESSION--AND THE S.O.B. IS HOPING THAT DOLTS LIKE YOU EITHER FORGET OR CONCEAL HIS COMPLICITY...THE OBAMA RECESSION

    GOES ON, UNABATED.

  • tyt, I love your coverage of the news. Thanks! I also am relieved that a dem is President to appoint another moderate judge.

    zahnradbahn9, the law that allowed de-regulation of the banks was passed long before Obama was in the Senate. The law was written by Repubs and passed by a Repub House and Senate. Clinton foolishly signed it. The more foolish banks, were free to over leverage themselves. Some banks were lending $35 for every $1 they had! Runaway house prices & crazy melt-down resulted.

  • @mickey2050:

    "What country is this guy from? I'm not racist but can I at least get my news from an American. "

    This guy is as American as you can get. Just because someone looks a bit different from yourself, or has a less common name, it doesn't mean that they have to be from somewhere else. What you're doing here is stereotyping/profiling; one of the ugliest forms of bigotry which plagues our Union in these times. We're ALL Americans.

  • how much does a seat on the court go for these days?

  • Think about this, people. If McCain had won, Souter would be replaced with a Social Conservative. We already have four psycho RIGHT-WING ACTIVIST judges on the bench who believe that the Constitution should be interpreted with an 18th century mindset in 2009. Kennedy often sides with these four nut cases.

    The point: one more conservative equals the DESTRUCTION of civil rights, women's rights, consumers' and workers' rights, sep of church/state, and gay rights (what little there is).

  • upstate

    You're right about that. With the climate in this country now, we couldn't afford another social conservative on the Supreme Court. Let's hope that Obama pays close attention to the next judge's ruling record. One false move could send us back to the Dark Ages.

  • You're wrong you fucking turk.

    The current court is a centrist court with 4 conservatives(roberts,thomas,a­lito, and scalia), 4 liberals(stevens, ginsberg, breyer, and the outgoing souter), and the moderate(kennedy). There is no such thing as a right-wing supreme court, you are a fucking idiot. Rot in hell.

  • Obama will likely replace Souter, Kennedy and Ginsberg in just 4 years... unfortunately, he will have to win a second term in order to replace Scalia

  • Looks like all you liberal tree huggers found a spot you hang out in. I looked for you on the Gibbs explains White House screw-ups post but not many of you there. I wonder why?

  • Bush isn't being prosecuted because he is a Republican and Clinton was prosecuted because he is a Democrat.

    There I said it now all you liberals can start to deal with the healing process.

  • What country is this guy from? I'm not racist but can I at least get my news from an American.

  • Yeah, you're not racist, you just think all Americans should be white.

  • FLASH ----New York Times--"It appears Obama has blundered again, by closing Gitmo. Official sources have revealed that the assistance provided by Gitmo detainees aided immeasurably in the prevention of at least seven major attacks on US cities. The information was more extensive AND ACCURATE that anything provided by any other governmental intelligence sources-COMBINED." (emphasis added).

    LIBERALS--HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME. YOU VOTED FOR THIS ASS.

    THE OBAMA RECESSION GOES ON, UNABATED!!!

  • FLASH----next time, it might be better if you posted actual articles rather than obviously made-up and poorly written crap that wouldn't pass the editors of any newspaper, much less such a major one as the NYT.

  • Isn't Ginsberg close to retiring? Obama could end up getting two picks in his first four years.

  • an indian jon stewart lol just kidding no way is this square headed paki anything like jon stewart.

  • If McCain had won, that justice wouldn't be stepping down. They time their leavings with presidents they approve of so their replacements will be agreeable to their beliefs.

  • ahhh, good point.

  • ! who gave this fat douche a show? Yes fantastic news - more giveaways to the poor for vote buying. Which the court isnt supposed to do- great a politically-driven supreme court;

  • Liberal OR Conservative. Those are our ONLY options. They must either support social freedoms and financial slavery or social slavery and financial freedoms. THERE CAN BE NO OPTION THAT JUST SUPPORTS FREEDOM! Slavery must be part of the equation.

    Liberal or Conservative.

  • lol htww. gtfo of here

  • Yeah, imagine the damage they would do: They'd require us to look at Article V of the Constitution and pass amendments to grant the government more power.

    Oh, the damage!

  • Lol, HowTheWorldWorks. What a douchebag. This asshole gets off of spreading misinformation for a few hand outs. You are pathetic little man and I hope you die in a fire. Fuck you.

  • Ooooh, does HowTheWorldWorks have a comment around here? I'd love to get that douchebag a piece of my mind right now...

  • Yea somewhere on here.

  • Where's Thunderf00t when you need him?

  • LMFAO, you're a pretty damn good troll.

  • That wascally wocialist!

  • OH yeah your a republican clone. YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT A SOCIALIST IS. You republicans call clinton a socialist and what was america like in the 90's. I bet your too young to remember. Or if you do remember you are a rich fuck that dosent want to pay his share of taxes to keep the system going .

  • Is it juvenile to say that perhaps there should be some law in place that does not allow more than 3 supreme courst justices of the same party affiliation to be on the court? This way we can keep the rulings as objective as possible? Just saying.

  • There should be a maximum age for Supreme Court justices. I say nobody over the age of 65 should be allowed on the court. Once you get to a certain age you become out of touch with the issues of the younger generations and thus have no buisness representing their will on the high court.

  • i didn't vote for obama (or mccain) so when the nuke hits, i'm blaming all of you assholes.

    reps and dems alike

  • Okay, lets think about this for a second. So when the nuke hits, I'm blaming you assholes.

    Yes, because..... who is going to nuke us and what the fuck does that have to do with who is in the oval office. We spend more than the rest of the world combined on militay and defense.

  • This guy is obviously an illegal alien.

  • And you are obviously an idiot.

  • Hi guilty whites!

  • Hi, retard!

  • Hi, dipshit!

  • I predict Barack will appoint at least 3 SC Justices.

  • I think you mean the Bush recession. All of this started under Bush's watch and as a result of Bush's policies. Obama just has to deal with the backlash.

  • No my friend, this started uner Reagan. His administration was the one that started the huge deregulation. Everyone since him has only thrown oil into the fire.

  • You bet!

  • Hell, we all know how important those supreme court justices are. They're the ones who decided the outcome of the bush- gore election. You remember , the election where the Republicans fraudulently manipulated the votes. The US should have other countries send in monitors so that we don't have another fraudulent presidential election.

  • scalia lives! he'll never retire!

  • i remember the conservatives saying this after bush *cough*stole*cough* the 2000 election:

    America: Love it, or leave it.

    the same applies both ways, assholes.

  • that kind of sounds like a good idea at the moment. it will let me escape the eventual VX gas that the terrorists will hit us with after we take the moral high ground and let them go free.

    don't worry though. if your lucky, the last thing you'll see is a bright light right before your body instantly hits 10,000 degrees. your mistake will be short-lived.

    if not, you'll breath vx gas while walking and spasm so hard you kill yourself. but hey, at least you voted for the black guy.

  • Like Obama's good buddy Durbin said, Banks own the place, what does it matter who is in power? they all have the same master

  • Thanks to obimbo the Republicans will win the next election with almost anyone they put up.

    Obimbo is a walking moron.

  • If you dont like it why don't you leave?

  • You leave drone. Quit screwing up my country. There are plenty of places for you drones to go that are already screwed up the way obama is screwing up my country. There is only one Republic and a lot of us are very happy with it.

  • Im perfectly happy here so Im not going anywhere. We let fools like you ruin this country for most of this decade now its time to fix your mistakes. Hopefully you and your foolish friends will never have control of my country ever again.

  • Dipshit, if you were happy here then why do you want to change it so much and be just like other failed countries. It does not take a genius to figure out that you don't change the greatest country ever created on the planet. It only takes stupidity and we know have plenty of that coming from libs.

  • Greatest country? What? With millions uninsured and underinsured while medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy? With trillions spend on military defense and still having thousands of our men and women die overseas? With a terrible education system lagging behind the rest of the world? With a gluttenous appitite for unclean energy? With our freedoms being slowly stripped from us due to a ridiculous and failed drug war? You call this the greatest country in the world? Go travel!

  • Then go somewhere else asshole. You are so stupid that you cannot figure out why the rest of the world is trying to get in here. Dumbshit.

  • No, they really aren't. Mexicans want to get in here because we don't suck as bad as them, but the age of european immigration to america is over. European nations have better health care, less crime, more civil rights, less of their soldiers dying, better energy use, more per capita income, they pollute less, their education system is better, and much more, at the cost of slightly higher taxes, but it's worth it. And I am thinking of moving to either Britain, Sweden or Denmark eventually.

  • Instead of beating your chest with your hate America first brainwashed lib mentality go live in those other countries. After you find out how bad it is then you can admit to your mistake about fawning over obama.

  • Do I hate America? I hated Bush's Patriot Act, unintelligent america that brought us to the edge of the cliff with sharp rocks at the bottom, but I do want my country to improve, and I see Obama taking steps to improve it. All of our social ills that I mentioned before, health care, energy, education, etc. Obama has taken steps to help fix. You call that bad? And I really wouldn't mind living in Canada or Denmark. I've been there before and it seems absolutly fine.

  • Do us a favor and leave. We don't want out of control spending, tax increases, a failed healthcare system like England has, failed lib policies, every decision and program based on race, lower quality of life so we can be more like the rest of the world's standard of living, and an asshole who wants to be a dictator.

  • Failed health care? What are you talking about? They spend less on health care than we do and get much better results!

    Failed policies? What? Like the New Deal? Do you know what failed? After FDR stopped the New Deal. When he took that lib policy away, the country failed again. The Republican policies are the ones that got us into the 1930's depression and this recession. What racial programs? Obama has said the programs affect ALL people. And Europe has a MUCH higher average living standerd.

  • Their health care system sucks, they all complain about how bad it is. Obama is a racist, adhereing to black liberation theology which is marxist and claims victimization. He took Chavez's book to read which is what he will enjoy -- an anti-American book which pushes victimization and blames caucasians for all of the losers failures. Fuck guilty whites.

  • What the fuck are you talking about? You are deluded! Everyone in Canada says that their health care system is better than ours, Obama has done NOTHING that benefits only one race, he took Chavez's book because it was the polite thing to do and it was put into his hand. I don't really know much about Latin American history so I cannot comment on that, but from what I do know, we have been pretty involved with their buisness.

  • Bullshit, they constantly bitch about it.

  • donottake - It's clear you have no idea what you are talking about. You are definitely watching way too much "Hannity" and "the Factor". If you were the slightest bit aware of health care systems in other parts of the world, you would not be spewing such uneducated nonsense. You really need to educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • Go cry at your Nation of Islam meeting.

  • donottake - You're just throwing a tantrum because the Liberals are strong and conservatism is dying. After 8 horrible years, we are finally going to get this country back on track.

  • Pull your head out of your ass. Taxes were cut and the DOW was over 14,000. If it weren't for obama and the libs forcing unqualifieds to get loans they never could repay this mess never would have started. Obama was in the thick of this mess when he joined with ACORN to sue Citibank for not giving loans to unqualified blacks. After than every unqualified showed up for a loan to buy a house. Fucking libs.

  • Donottake - Get your fact straight Conservatives want to give all the money to the rich and then let it "trickle" down to the rest of American (Reagan - a Republican.) The Republican party has been pushing the greatest redistribution of wealth since Nixon (a Republican.) You need to educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • nsx1com: I am confused by your comment. Do you think that the "trickle down" affect works? Cause if you do, we just had 8 years of "trickle down" and that experiement didn't work too well. All those big companies put their money in Swiss or Caymen Island accounts and it doesn't trickle anywhere. Let me know how you feel. I guess it just boggles my mind to think that theory of economics still exists.

  • peaceispatriotic7 - We are in agreement. I probably didn't make myself clear, but I was attempting to illustrate to notnottake that the greatest "redistribution of wealth" in this country was 1) a Republican idea, and 2) failed miserably to tickle down and reach the poor and middle class.

  • If you want money then work for it. Quit holding out your hand expecting the government to give it to you so you can buy your drugs.

    The lib partry exists only on peddling victimization and handouts. What can we give you libs today?

  • Donottake - I can't understand why you are so ignorant. It is NOT that the liberals want hand outs... liberals just want to keep what they earn and stop stuffing the pockets of the rich. The reason this country is in such financial straights is because the conservatives want to give BIG tax breaks to the rich and regulate the poor and middle class. You need to educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • A major blow to radical leftist Obama!

    Conservative Wins in Panama!

    Martinelli, a conservative, won Panama's presidential election in a landslide, 61% to 37%. Panama has seen a wave of failed leftist governments. The leftist ruling party was undermined due to the economy and crime. This will happen to obama due to his ridiculous policies.

  • Specter switches from the failed Republican/conservative party and joins the successful Democratic/liberal party bringing the U.S. Senate to a landslide, filibuster proof 60% to 40%.

  • You can have Specter. Specter knew he could not defeat Toomey for the Republican nomination so he is using the democrats to try and win.

  • See how fast the conservatives will turn on you....

  • Obama just went down to South America and knocked the shit out of the US. Panama just thumbed their nose and voted for a conservative. This is after a history of leftist governments.

    Obama is STUNNED!

  • donottake - you really are naive. Obama does not get all emotional like the conservatives do. If you want to see "STUNNED", watch the video of Hannity when Obama was announced the winner. LOL

  • Obama cannot take any criticism. The libs cannot take any opposition either. This is why the libs want to silence those who do not agree with them. Obama wants to be a dictator so bad he can taste it.

    The libs are always wrong that this why they rely entirely on the race card and play it with lust.

  • The vast majority of Americans voted for Obama and that is why he won by a landslide. Your guy lost the race and now you're throwing a little tantrum. You're just crying over spilled milk. hahaha

  • Obama did not win by a landslide, Regean won by a landslide. McCain is not my guy, McCain is a liberal Republican. The best McCain would have done is a C-. But obama on the other hand is a F-.

  • donottake - Obama won 365 to conservative's 173. That's 68% to 32%... a much larger margin than what you yourself stated as a landslide. Educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • umm.. helloo? have u not been payin atention, the past 100 years are plain proof that classical/neo-clasical economic policies are nice in theory, but dont quite work out in reality, its not practical, tricke down? that never woked out as planned, for neo.classical's somehow believe that if u give ppl money they will invest instead of keeping for himself. im sorry man, the world is more complicated than this, and u seem to not understand it

  • Iker888 - I obviously didn't make myself clear. What I was attempting to illustrate to donottake that the greatest "redistribution of wealth" in this country was 1) a Republican idea, and 2) failed miserably to tickle down and reach the poor and middle class. A "trickle UP" economy would be much more successful. Lets hear what donottake has to say about that.

  • Sorry I misunderstood too! Ya, I want to hear what donottake says too.

  • my bad:) i misinterpreted ur comment.

    good luck with this donottake fellow

  • You and your liberal friends obviously don't know that under socialized medicine there is a waiting list to have surgery or see a specialist, sometimes it takes weeks to get an appointment. You could be deathly ill by then. As a physician, I know this to be true. You get what you pay for.

    If you have a head injury in Canada, they don't do an MRI unless you meet strict criteria. That is why the late actress Natasha Richardson was not given a scan. She might have been saved with an MRI.

  • My understanding of Natasha Richardson is that she refused to go to the hospital. By the time she did, it was too late. Also, we have socialized medicine right now. If you don't have a job or insurance, you go to the emergency room and by law you have to be treated. And, if you are worried about your credit report, most loan agencies do not count medical bills on your report as negative. So, I am tired of hearing the negative remarks about socialized medicine. We got it now.

  • There was an MRI machine in the small hospital that Ms.

    Richardson did go when she started to have a headache.

    This is the hospital near the ski resort. She was still alert, there was still adequate time to drill a burr hole in her skull to relieve the pressure and save her life. Of course an MRI would have to be done to diagnose the subdural hematoma. They don't routinely do those in Canada.

    Indigent patient expenses are written off by hospitals & doctors. It is not socialized medicine.

  • Thanks for the info! I am going to look further in to the Canadian socialized medicine. Did you see Sicko?

  • Stephenkingrocks "wait in line" or "meet strict criteria". u have no idea how many people have to "wait in line" in the US. In a life threatening situation, whether in Canada or Europe, u r rushed in2 surgery. In the US, u won't get surgery if u do not have insurance, or the ins. co. rejects ur claim. I have friends in Canada who needed care while they were visiting they had to cut their vacation short and go back home in order to get treated. That's not the case when US citizens visit there.

  • I know exactly how many. I myself slipped on the ice and needed stitches. I have great insurance, but I waited 8 hours at my local emergency clinic. Emergency rooms are over crowded, I have waited for 12 hours or more with each of my parents. But when I need an MRI no bureaucrat tells me I can't have it. I communicate with physicians in Canada, you have no idea how the government run healthcare ties their hands.  You need to educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • LOL - not very original stephenkingrocks. But for ur information, I'm already on my meds (which I pay dearly for, thanks to the Bush Administration) and I believe I understand many of the health systems around the world. Costs for coverage in the US are experiencing double-digit increases. In fact, Health care costs are rising at 5 times the rate of inflation. Who do u think is make all that money? It's not the physicians or the bureaucrats. Can u say "insurance companies"? That's our problem.

  • It's not the fault of the Bush administration that drugs are sky high, it is drug companies. My meds were high under Clinton.

    Actually, my parents got a huge discount on their meds under Bush.

    I have worked in the healthcare industry since 1977 in some capacity. Man, if someone smart like you hadn't told me it was the insurance companies were making all the money, I never would have known it. How can I ever thank you?

    Seriously, stop trying to educate me.

  • donottake - "We"? Which "we" are you talking about? The neo-conservatives that want to regulate the Internet (individual freedom of expression and pursuit of happiness) but DO NOT want to regulate the financial institutions (the "rich" handling "American's money".) You really need to educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • LOL... you are calling other people names, yet you are ignorant about what the rest of the world thinks of the United States. You are very nieve if you actually believe that the rest of the world wants to come here. The truth of the matter is, ever since Bush-Chaney, the rest of the world HATES the United States. You need to educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • I don't give a shit what some jealous people in the world think. If you like these assholes so much then you go live in their country and they will gladly take your place here.

  • donottake - it's obvious you don't care... that's the sad part about all this. You prefer to HATE Americans who hold different points of view. You need to educate yourself and start taking your medication.

  • You need to quit aping obama and taking his drugs.

  • nsx1com has got a point get off the weed and on the helpful medication

  • The only point you have is on the top of your head.

  • I agree with what you say, but I think you are idealizing other countries. I have lived abroad and have traveled- it is no bed of roses in other countries. As much as I love Europe it has its own problems, and has for decades. No country is superior in my opinion.

  • Yes, of course other nations have their problems, but it's all relative. In many issues, europe dominates america.

  • "Quit screwing up my country."

    I'm willing to bet I've lived here longer than you have and lost more for the country than you have. If you don't like the way things are going, feel free to check out any time.  You won't be missed.

  • MrTouchShriek:

    "lost more for the country"

    You mean gave. I hope sacrificing and serving our country and fellow countrymen will again someday be seen as an honor, not a loss.

  • It's going to take a generation to pass to get the taste of Bush and Cheney out of our mouths.

    You should see the hole in the back of my brother's helmet he bought back from Iraq. How's that for loss? He cant go back to college now.

    I bet doughynuttaker hasnt done anything for his country or the people who live here.

  • Don't think O wants to alienate Whites, but a lot of damage has happened to lower-income White and Black Americans in the past 30 years, and nobody has addressed the economic hardships that have made racial tension explode. Mostly, the dialog is about accepting immigrants, and that discounts the ongoing needs of Black/White Americans who are struggling to hold onto jobs and homes. We need a dialog on this that does not simple call poor Whites racist if they are discontent.

  • You make a very good point, the only thing is that people can't turn that discontent into racial anger.

  • That, my friend, is the danger. I would call upon all White discontent workers/unemployed to refrain from immigrant bashing, anti-black rhetoric, and anti-semitism. Even if Whites are very angry, it is important not to let ourselves be dismissed at White Power fringe elements. Call me crazy, but I would actually like to see the White Power movement re-assess its stance and focus on what we want to gain for ourselves as working people and take the emphasis off of tormenting other races.

  • Elena Kagan, the anti-military former dean at Harvard, may be up for the Supreme Court.

    She recently took a case to the Supreme Court that attacked the Solomon Amendment. It requires colleges to either refuse federal funds or allow military recruiters the same access to students as any other employer. The Supreme Court voted unanimously against her views. NBC will likely love

    her. The name of the case is Rumsfeld v. FAIR.

  • obama could pick a conservative. haven't you guys noticed that he does shit like that?

  • Denying the right-wing nutbags the opportunity to seat yet another Supreme Court judge was THE single biggest reason to vote for Obama. We are dodging a MAJOR bullet here.

  • that is so true man. the last thing this country needs is another state's righter or stupid gun owner going against Obama's bills and the work of Congress. now Obama can finally do whatever he wants to get done!

  • Obama is not an anti-state's righter nor does he want to take away people's guns, no matter how much garbage propaganda the NRA and their lackeys put out there. However, Obama is not gonna nominate a mental midget who supports creationism, does not respect a woman's right to choose, and God knows what else. The Bush induced Dark Ages are OVER!

  • tell me this. if you and me walk into my house and i CHOOSE to shoot you in the face, is that legal since i have a right to privacy within my own home? i mean, i should be able to choose what i do in my house.

    here's another question: how do paramedics determine if you're alive. answer: your heart. if you stop a babies heart, it doesn't matter if you have a right to privacy.

    however, we love to try ppl for homicide if they shoot a woman in the stomach and the baby dies. yay double standard.

  • oh yea, obama wants a federally funded "national security defense force"...or is that spelled Gestapo...sorry, i forget.

    state's righter...are you kidding? he's already forcing CEO's to retire. he's now expanding the federal government into the private business sector! state's rights my ass.

    but hey, it's not like he's in favor of reinstituting the assualt weapons ban. oh wait...

    of course, we all know they'll just take guns away by having so much red tape that you can't buy one.

  • Kinda like how the govt took control of all aspects of the USA during WW1 and WW2, and the economy got better during those times.

    Then again you're pro life so there's no reasoning with your one track mind anyways.

  • WW2 saved us because we achieved an output we could never again match at an efficiency point we will never reach again. men who didn't have jobs were drafted or enlisted and now had an income. they could work in plants that never had to worry about diminishing demand.

    gov't doesn't spend money efficiently enough these days to promote a growth in output that would increase income for the average American.

    as for being pro-life, how does that make me stupid?

  • It never ceases to amaze me that nutty conservatives are blaming Obama for the economy, when it was under the Bush administration is when everything became shit. I guess they just want to try and blame it on someone else.

  • i'm not blaming it on Obama, i'm blaming it on government standards and actions that have been going on over the last 30 years. government intrusion by both parties has screwed us. i'm just pissed that Obama is falling into the same trap.

  • You should blame it on obama since he went in with ACORN and sued Citibank for not making loans to unqualified blacks and got his way. Obama is directly responsible for the economic disaster we have now plus all of the others who did not fight against obama because they were afraid of being called racist.
