  • RON PAUL 2012

  • health insurance reform!!! so that illegal can have free hospitals and free medicine??

  • well ...

    RFID chips .... ?

    Sounds like Palin just blew some more smoke up the arse of some idiots !

    Some wacko´s here ... loool

    Brgds

    GSO

  • Just because many liberal presidents have gone after health care does not mean it's the right thing to do. In fact it will probably culminate in disaster as I projected the a financial reform bill to in my latest video. I should probably make a belated video showing the true facts of the health care bill...

  • watch?v=JSXg00v90Ic&feature=su­b

    watch this video for a rational view on the issues at hand.

  • Obama 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dominojoey I guess obama forgot to mention the RFID chip in the mandate of the Healthcare Bill HR 4872/111 Subtitle C National Medical Device Registary! It's on pg 1013 at the bottom!

  • @BeantownJ I'm not taking a RFID chip in my skin sound ridiculis anyway they will have a hard fight on their hands. There are 2.1 Billion Christians that will not take it and there are nonbelievers that will refuse to take it. Go to youtube type in (666 THE MARK OF THE BEAST, WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW)

  • Great Job President Obama I new you would be a powerful body to this Country. Your accomplishment with the health care bill is a success. And may you exercise the same power given by God to bring our troops home.

  • @sprinkle888 Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions are subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax?

    You can thank Nancy, Harry & Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. (Or should it F U ? )

    If you sell your $400,000 home, this will be a $15,200 tax.

  • Fire Obama

  • Any Democrat that votes "NO" will not get re-elected!!!! You will be replaces by a Democrat with the balls to vote for the desires of the American people, and that is for Obama's healthcare reform!!!

  • Obama makes me want to puke with his lies and bullshit

  • so he wants companies to play by the rules, "did they blow their budget"? why cant we apply his rules and logic to him and OUR government? why is it that the rules obama spouts don't apply to him and his white house.

    no lobbyists? pa1y as we go? open transparent?

  • this was invitation only - that's right mr open and transparent didn't allow the public.

    this should be front page news - imaging if mr bush had closed his speeches to supporters only. this guy is not only a liar he is a coward.

  • Obama's Politics of Collective Redemption

    By Kyle-Anne Shiver

    And in this seemingly redemptive offering, Obama may be promising what only God can actually deliver, in the form of yet another, more eloquent, version of the same old utopian dream that started with Rousseau and Marx.

  • Where do all his sheepople get their white teeth?

  • I love my President.

  • The Obama administrations political spin machine is engineered toward keeping their supporters ignorant, angry, and hopeful. When you add the liberal media and hateful Holywood to the mix you get a perfect storm of ignorance, hate, and disinformation. The disinformation is spread via a parasitic Hollywood, liberal media, and leftist bloggers that under the cloak of false peace, hope, and love for everyone they demonize logic, common sense, reason, and fact. All to push their minority agendas.

  • What common sense would you take from the Bush term. Please explain how the economy improved under Bush.

  • You mean like taking the recession he "inherited"(but didn't whine nonstop about) and turning around? Like the stock market below 10000 to reach it's highest over 14000? Like the lowest unemployment rate in over a decade? Like the highest tax receipts(government earnings from taxes) in US history while keeping taxes low? Of course, he didn't really have that much to do with it; no President does. But when things turned bad they sure tried to blame him for it.

  • You voted for Sarah Palin? Would you vote for her? as vice president...and if anything should happen to J.M?..

    BUSH is a idiot, and was seen, treated like an idiot, what a shame for the U.S. Imagine Sarah Palin another idiot as vice president..but you approve correct?

  • So you thought your surplus question was going to be a showstopper, but instead you were shown your ignorance and ran away, changing the topic to childish attacks. Voted for Sarah Palin? No, she wasn't the Presidential candidate. As VP, yes but that's per the course as those who voted for President Obama voted for VP Biden, a walking disaster everytime he opens his mouth. Predictably you went after Palin, who if we compared actual qualifications, edges out the President.

  • McCain wasn't exactly an ideal candidate. He would likely have taken us in a similar direction as we are now, but not as extreme and as fast. As for the name calling, I guess that's all you have when your entire view of the world has been proven wrong. Childish and predictable.

  • I disagree DApointman... . McCain wouldn't had even mentionned a word on a better "healthcare" once in office. Bush had the most erroneous vision of the world and all the rest in him was less childish but predictable!

  • @frankatunda

    You're right. Even though McCain would have done lite versions of many of President Obama's policies, he probably wouldn't have went for a health bill that will makes things worse rather than better. As for former President Bush, the only one childish is you.

  • You know that John M has had skin cance..odds are .you would be happy with the second in command to take over. Just having her as the VP was a big mistake, and reason enough to not vote for JM. Biden may not be the smartest out there, but you can not believe the rest of the world would take her seriously. She is an idiot. Would you vote for her if she was the republican candidate.. Please tell me the truth. Can you not say anything critical of republicans.Democrats are not perfect, be honest

  • And the President smokes. So what? The rest of the world isn't taking the PRESIDENT seriously right now, much less the VP. He has garnered little to no international support that wasn't there already. Palin as President? In 08, no. Too inexperienced, though more experienced than the current President. Calling her an idiot is just childish on your part because you have nothing of substance. And I haven't been critical of the Republicans because all I've I done is address your questions directly.

  • btw.. I do not agree with your view of the surplus. You obvously see no wrong in the republican party.

  • You can disagree with my "view" of the surplus all you want, but that doesn't change reality. That public debt(the deficit) never reached 0, much less a surplus. That intragovernmental borrowing was at higher amounts than public debt reduction, as was the growth of national debt. These are from US TREASURY numbers. So it's not my "view"; it's reality and no amount of "not agreeing" changes it. Republicans have their issues, but why don't you do your own work?

  • Why don't you (republicans) let us work than. and more DApointman, you have left our country with a deficit and an inflation that nears the great depression. Trying to defend that is less honest on your part...Which US treasury facts are you referring to? The ones none of your repubs leaders never ever used in their talking points?

  • I've already explained the Republicans parrot the myth to claim credit for it. There's only one US Treasury and the numbers are there for you to see. Trying to act like they're made up shows your desparate right off the bat. Inflation hasn't risen so your 0 for 2. I never defended the deficict, only pointed out the myth of the surplus. And if you're complaining about the inherited deficit, how about the current admin's first year deficit that eclipses the previous admin's 8 years.

  • And before you try to argue that it was needed, let me remind you that TARP, which the President takes credit for sometimes and disowns at others, falls under the Bush 08 deficit. The stimulus was nothing more than a payoff to supporters. It did not stabilize the economic system(TARP did), and most of its jobs created were proven false.

  • "Exclusive": Katie Couric talks with Gov. Sarah Palin about her foreign policy experience and Alaska's proximity to Russia.

    go see this.

  • @8motion, that's old news. And a game of she said/he said is not one you want to play because you will lose badly with a quick youtube/google search. But I can see how desparate you're getting. You've shown your ignorance on every subject you've tried to argue, and you keep falling back on Palin like she was the end all-be all of Republicans. Don't you have anything of substance?

  • As I understand it it's more taxes for those making over $250,000 per year. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Folks making that much can certainly afford to pay exxtra taxes. Come on now.

  • zimmyfan115: did you know that 1-3% of the earners in america pay about 40% of the taxes already?? most small business owners make $250K, but use it to pay their employees, rent, equipment, etc. does it make sense to you to tax them even more in a weak economy??  how does that encourage more hiring and productivity?

  • @jimpodi Uh, these people are sheep. Just like a dog chases a car they run after anything buttcrack tells them is true. However there is an upside. If you look at the damage this 3rd world dictator has done to the demoncrap party in just one year he is worth his weight in gold. Be patient. We can repeal unconstitutional law, we see the scum sucking dogs can be voted out of office and we can try traitors for treason. Just let buttcrack do what he does best and their downfall will come.

  • Ron,

    Consider this please, I am unemplyed, sick and have no insurance.

    Can you write me a check so I can go to the doctor? Bet you won't.

    Then why should you have to pay the gov't to pay for my doctor, same thing.

    More taxes on my small business (over 250,000) will put most of us out of business.

    Exactly what the gov't wants so they can "take care" of us all.

    Don't need it, I am my own man...are you?

  • To add to what people are saying, businesses "don't pay taxes". I mean they cut the IRS a check, but it's not a savings like the rest of us. Taxes are factored in as business expenses and that ultimately falls on the consumer. So the business doesn't pay the taxes, you do. Ever wonder why your gas is so expensive? In fact, "tax the wealthy" affects everyone but the "wealthy".

  • Tell me how good taking a surplus economy to Deficit ( but I guess you won't say anything about this. Tell me why this was good.. and don't bring up the war..

  • There never was a surplus even though both parties say it. Democrats claim it to laud the Clinton administration. Republicans claim it because it was their policies. If you look at economic data, the deficit decreased to 17.91 billion, but never reached 0. The national debt, however, rose at a much higher rate because of intragoverment borrowing(borrowing from itself). That's not free money; it has to be repaid and it wasn't as the national debt rose. The "surplus" claim ignores that.

  • So in essence, the "surplus" was like using a credit card to pay down another, while using the second credit card for spending as well. And the last budget of the Clinton admin raised the deficit back to 133 billion. So not only was the "surplus" just political smoke and mirrors, it never even reached a neutral balance. To compound that, the last budget of the Clinton admininstration raised the deficit back to 133 billion. There never was a surplus at anytime.

  • @DApointman WHAAAAT? There eas never a SURPLUS, even if both parties say it? Tell me, why would the republican party admits a huge argument that ultimately cost them the WH, the Senate and the House? I hate to say YOU LIE, but you know you do! PFFFF ! ps: "8motion" why wasting your time with this one?

  • Comment removed

  • Political double speak. Like my earlier analogy, using one credit card to pay for another while spending with the new credit card. The "surplus" claim comes from the lowering of public debt, but it ignores that the lowering came from borrowing elsewhere. A real surplus, meaning more than needed, would have lowered the National Debt. Instead it rose. This can all be verified through the US Treasury, but I doubt you'll think for yourself considering your strongest argument is "PFFFF".

  • More a sociological study on republican thinking. The culture of "lest the strongest survive and weak die" derived from the anglosaxion /....ideals. ( @dapointman is typical extreme republican blinded by his own dissapointment.

  • @DApointman ... you are one of the Wall Street blogger...Lie, Lie, Lie (So, don't tax the rich so the poor and middle class can get a raise, meaning getting their salary with less taxation?) Bush gave tax cuts to the rich, can you give any improvements it has generated as far as creating jobs or lowering consumer's prices? At least, Obama just gave tax cut to 95% of working middle class !!!

  • You might want to look at the tax tables before you tout the 95% number. You'll be surpised. Here's a clue:"Withholdings". If you hadn't noticed, EVERYONE got a tax cut during the previous administration. In fact, in terms of percentage, middle and lower class received a HIGHER tax cut than the "rich". Improvements? The amount of tax revenue the government received was the highest in US history. You can verify that from the US Treasury if you don't think it's a Republican front. BTW, it's not.

  • As I understand it it's more taxes for those making over $250,000 per year. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Folks making that much can certainly afford to pay exxtra taxes. Come on now.

  • President Obama, why is this healthcare reform bill taking so long to get passed??

  • @groundhog2008

    I thought you figured this out already since you can predict well, groundhog...sorry. The Lobbyists = got their hooks on Republicans + Moderate Democrats (chickens with no backbone, sold out). Unfortunately, the president's cabinet cannot dictate, our democracy has to wait on Congress: a corrupt institution for generatons !!!

  • Places to trim the fat... 1) War. 2) Social Secutiry 3) Public Education 4) Medicare 5) Medicaid 6) Welfare 7) Corporate Bailouts 8) Foreign Aid 9) Homeland Security 10) Fedral Reserve
  • Spread the wealth...cant wait.

    more taxes for me, as i work 5 days a week to TRY and provide for my family...more taxes to pay for others who do not work...i guess, my "extended" family will now get more of my support...as, i already support them through SS, Medicare, Welfare, subsidies, free cell phones, bailouts...the list goes on.

    Just what our founders had in mind...a Collectivist Nation.

  • If large corporations paid their fair share of tzaxes as well ass very wealthy individuals there would be no need to raiser taxes on people who own small businesses. But the Big Boys have their tax shelters. Why blame people who are unemployed through no fault of their own? They are NOT the culprits.

    Ron

  • wow...how is the Kool Aid Ron?

    The Large Corporations and wealthy individuals you speak of pay the overwhemliming majority of taxes in this country...while the middle/lower classes pay essentialy nothing...

    Problem: Government Spending / Size / Entitlements

    Solution: Remove Central Bank / Follow Constitution

    I understand 100% those on welfare and unemployment are not the culprits; those whom have passed legislation against the will of freedom and liberty are.

  • Wow ...how is the kool Aid Helltrackerider.

    There are so many ways to avoid paying taxes. But then, you would not know about that would you. OFFSHORE..everything.

  • @8motion

    Sorry...i get my tax stole from me prior to getting my check; the beauty of our government...stealing your labor from you before the rewards even get in your hands...only to pay for unjust wars, overseas manifest destiny, foreign aid, entitlement programs, interest on the national debt, paybacks to china/japan/middle east...when, if the Constitution was followed; none of this shit would be occuring and I, as well as others, wouldnt be bitching

  • @8motion

    But...the vast majority of Americans are completely inept and blatantly stupid...they think America is a Democracy so that if Obama gets voted into office, it is his way or leave the country if you dont like it...

    America is a Republic, and if Obama (House and Senate as well) tried this shit they are passing and proposing now in the early-mid 1800's...there would be riots, secession and many upon many of violent occurances towards the Executive and Legislative Branches

  • The time is coming...

    There are many of us that took an oath, "to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, from all enemies both foreign and domestic".

    When discharged I was never told that the oath I took is null and void, and I take this oath very seriously.

    We have domestic enemies of our Constitution and all that we hold dear (and take for granted).

    Wake up America! We are about to have gov't slavery.

  • zimmyfan: did you know that the wealthiest and most powerful corps contribute 90% of their $ to the democratic party each year?

  • Please go research how much the corporations pay in taxes. Why do you think they are all going overseas..taxes.

    Now do some research as to the percentage of tax income raised from the wealthy vs the less wealthy..they pay their share.

    The ones that ruin the system are the lazy ppl that want handouts. Why should I have to pay for them?

    The unemployed are not at fault, that is correct.

    I am a small business owner and this thing will kill me

  • I never use profanity on the Tube but,

    For once---

    God Damn you got that right!

    I work six days owning a small business. This bill will kill my company and MANY others. Think unemployment is bad now, just hold on.

    Semper Fi !

  • Progressives/Socialists are still attempting to salvage their massive health care take over. President Obama, himself a Socialist with ties to the New Party in Chicago, invited Republicans to the negotiating table not to negotiate a new health care bill but to have Republicans buy into a compromise of the two Democratic health bills. This is not bipartisanship. It is political theater designed to entrap Republicans into supporting a bill the American people overwhelmingly do not want.

  • lol the CBO has signed off on this bill. what the republicans were sugesting wasn't going to help anyone. in a decade 10million people would be out of healthcare and the debt would be raised to 50billion. obama's plan insures everyone. it may a trillion but we allowed bush to add a huge debt for his two point less wars that helped no one. but we can't add debt in order to give people the help they really need. no one cares about health care until they really need it.

  • We the members of the Democratic Party love our country and we do not want corrupted, dishonest and socialist liberals making radical changes within our government, especially when it curtails taking away our individual Liberty and Freedom.

    Weas Democrats must lead with a willingness to speak out in providing the facts and analysis people can us to criticize liberal proposals, and propose common-sense conservative alternatives.

  • enough talking. it is time to act.

  • We need to elect those with the fire of truth burning in them. We need to help support those who agree with the guidelines laid down by our Founding Fathers. For too long we have been divided as a country as we point fingers at each other. We are not first Democrats... and then AMERICANS!

  • We as Democrats need to remind our Obama and our Democratic Party they only have power granted by us the voters and byway of the Constitution, not by some special interest groups filling their re-election funds. We need to remind them this is the United States of America and the Founding Fathers never wanted the powers of government coming through the Federal government, but from the states. We as Democrats need to find our way back to the principles in running our government.

  • I see our Obama for what he is, and as a member of the Democratic Party I could have only once hoped Obama would of impassioned himself to the words of our founding fathers. On the other hand, we as Democrats should remember the words of William Samuel Johnson, "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels."

  • Our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting the ideologies of progressives with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.

  • Ha didn't even metion his plan inclued's tax funded abortions!

  • so,why dont you talk to the mother to have her baby and pay for the babys care.

  • Could this really by happening? Health Care Reform? Horray!

  • Mr. President, many of us have a future full of illness and despair without your healthcare reform bill!!!!

  • Get this thing passed. Keep up the fight Prez.

  • On this mornings news I heard that when (am sure it will) Obama's healthcare reform bill passes, the old Laverne hospital, and 2 closed clinics will reopen again!! This will open up more than 800 jobs in clerical, administrative, supplies, and nursing!! Our city leaders are already preparing for it. So, if Obama fails to give us his healthcare reform, to me, this will be like 800 jobs lost!!!! Just think, passing this bill will increase employment in every city in America!!!!

  • @MrTabby5000 Looky here, I have called, emailed, and written letters to almost everyone in the Senate and Congress, many of us support the Obama's healthcare reform bill!! I dont care what the polls say. They are flawed, because there are so many poor, and sick that are not counted in teh polls!! I the community I live in, hardly anyone has, or can afford health insurance. Many more are sick. Everyone I talk to say that they want Obama to get this bill passed, without delay!!!!

  • The majority wants health care reform, period.

  • KataVideo:

    Not this health reform and you know that yet said this anyway.

  • It's going great, we're getting health caare reform done this week, and student loan reform soon as well.

    how is the repugnant hopelessly-staganty thing working out for YOU, loser?

  • KataVideo:

    Right, more goodies to get votes and destroy incentive. Because all that matters is votes...

  • @MrTabby5000 Have you listen to Obama or not? Listen again, especial at 25:15-25:16.

  • I MUST WARN YOU! It is going to get worse before it gets better! Once the National Socialist cabal finally figures out they have lost and their political days are numbered, they will cut loose with the most heinous and hate driven vendetta against Conservatives ever seen in the history of our beloved nation.

  • @TheHonestPolitics I live in Chicago, and if healthcare reform is passed, it will create tens of thousands of jobs nationwide. Because, many hospitals and clinics will re-open and massive hiring will take place to take care of those who have been denied medical care!!!! This is great news!! Now the poor and middle class will now receive the same quality care that the wealthy now receive!!!! Everyone is entitled to quality medical care, in a civilized society!!!!

  • @TheHonestPolitics The repubs were passing bill all the time that went against Democrats! The Democratic party is shown to be the only party that works for all of America! No way do I believe that Democrats would intentionally do anything but whats good for the American people!!

  • groundhob2008:

    The democratic party is the only party whose platform calls for the collapse of the entire united states by taking from the able and giving to the disabled.

    All the democratic party believes in is votes.

  • Vicious and unprecedented! Obama Liberals are brutally crushing anyone under their boot heel who stands in their way. The barbaric Democrat cabal is sacrificing their party members on the altar of Obama-Care. The political hopes and aspirations of good Statesmen are being eviscerated by the ravenous quest for passage of the Frankenstein Health-Care Bill!

  • @TheHonestPolitics Mini polls have been taken in several communities around where I live, that house mostly poor minorities. The approval rate for this bill has been close to 100%. Upper 90 percentile at lease!! So, it appears the polls are showing those who are available for polling, the healthy, white, insured Americans. Those who truely need this bill are sick, some without telephones, or internet. In other words, those who need this bill are not being counted!!!!

  • HELP

  • I MUST WARN YOU! It is going to get worse before it gets better! Once the National Socialist cabal finally figures out they have lost and their political days are numbered, they will cut loose with the most heinous and hate driven vendetta against Conservatives ever seen in the history of our beloved nation.

  • Democratic Socialist Progressives have been trying for about 100 years to pass socialized medicine what Lenin called the keystone to the arch of the socialist state.

    The Democratic Socialist leadership absolutely dont care if they have to become political martyrs (or steal elections to remain in power), as long as they pass this.

    The next 6 to 7 days will be an all out ideological war for the survival of our Constitutional Republic.

  • President Obama, start listening to the American people!! If you cannot get the repubs to go along, then do it with reconcilliation, or by executive order if need be!!!! Americans are dying from lack of health insurance and costs!!!! It is now high time for government intervention!!!!

  • groundhog2008:

    Polls say you are wrong. Stop lying.

    Also, the government is the reason prices are currently high.

  • President Obama, listen to your American people!! We want this bill passed, if by no other means, get it done via reconcilliation. Your healthcare reform bill is the bill we all want!! Please, dont stall any longer!! Pass this bill now. America cannot wait!! People who cannot afford health insurance, needs government intervention...Now!!!!

  • President Obama, please listen to America, use reconciliation or whatever means it takes to get us this healthcare reform bill passed!!!! Americans want it, and Americans need it!!!!

  • @geofiles AMEN!

  • Obama is a fool, and this health bill will bankrupt our nation. Reconciliaiton? Just another way to circumvent the Constitution. Those of us who wanted insurance reform did not want a takeover of our insurance industries. We wanted reasonable regulations, tort reform, more competition , the ability to purchase safe medicines even if they come from Canada. We were fooled by the biggest fool of them all,,,,Obama.

  • Of coarse you partisan dip spits do realize that the govt, since 1913 is merely a contractor. The US govt doesn't build its own military, it contracts that out to the private military industrial complex. The govt. doesn't even have its own money, it contracted that out (unconstitutionally) to the privately owned central bank.

    I wonder which insurance monopolies they will contract to run their "govt." insurance ponzi scheme?

  • Do for the people what needs to be done but for which they cannot do at all, or do so well by themselves!! Everyone is entitled to quality healthcare, so it is a government responsibility to be sure that everyone receives equal treatment, whether it be healthcare or quality housing!!!! I am so proud that America has a great President that has this as his philosophy!!!!

  • groundhog2008:

    No one is entitled to healthcare. No one deserves money or help just because they exist. The logical conclusion of your idiotic worldview is that no one tries to do anything and we have a country filled up with nothing but people who can't or people who won't.

    If you want to help others, fine, but don't force me to.

  • evan13579b:Insurance is where people band together to share a common risk so the few that the bad event happens too will not be bankrupt. Health Insurance companies have hijacked this process and perverted it to make a bunch of money for management and shareholders and to hell with the customers. Our health care system is badly in need of reform. This is not about a free ride but a fair ride for all.I think there is a slight majority of us for reform and it is to finally going to get done.

  • floridagrandpa:

    I didn't say that wasn't the case. However, you are wrong. Health insurance companies aren't the problem, the government, has given an undue incentive for companies to buy insurance for their employees and the federal government doesn't allow interstate competition. Both those things raise prices.

    This reform is intended to FORCE people to buy insurance who are healthy in order to rip them off so that others can get lower prices.

    That is the governments idea of reform.

  • evan13579b :You are half right and half wrong. The part about lack of competition and the incentive for companies to provide health insurance which dates to WWII are correct. If we want to get rid of preexisting conditions everyone has to be in the pool. Other wise people will only enroll after they are sick. That would bankrupt the health care system. I carried health insurance as a young man knowing I was carrying older workers.But also knowing I would be old one day myself.

  • floridagrandpa:

    I don't want to get rid of preexisting conditions. People should pay for their risk. Otherwise the healthy is carrying the sick. There is no reason why healthy people deserve to be punished and given rates they do not deserve.

    Giving old people subsidies for existing leads merely to a more inefficient society while at the same time being immoral. Sure you subsidized old people when you were young but two wrongs don't make a right.

    So, contrary to your claim this is a freebee.

  • @evan13579b Oh, so now you want to discriminate? Everyone needs to be treated equally. Pre-existing conditions do not need to come into play when it comes to a person's life. Their health needs needs to be taken care of regardless of their condition!!

  • groundhog2008:

    You want to discriminate against young healthy people. You want to force them to pay more then their risk requires.

    People do not deserve the right to steal even if their life is in danger.

    Pre-existing conditions mean a person is more risky. Thus they deserve to pay more because they have higher risks. That is what insurance does. Its not the insurance companies fault that people die any more than its your fault for not preventing their death.

  • I am scared that if Obama does not get this bill signed into law, He might not see a second term as our President!! Poor and middle class Americans are much better off since Obama took office, but the powerful wealthy are trying to steal it away again!!!! From now on, we need to be voting straight Democrat ticket in all elections!!!!

  • Everyone I talk to is in favor of getting the Obama version of this bill passed!!!! So, why wont the repubs and some Democrats listen to the American people?? Everyone I talk to is in favor of this healthcare reform bill getting passed, now!!!!

  • I do think that the polls that say that most Americans do NOT want Obama's healthcare reform bill passed is wrong. I have asked many, many people, and they all say they are infavor of this healthcare reform bill! What the polls dont show, is the minorities in America who are not a part of the polls. It is the very poor, and sick who want and very much need this very important bill!!!! Please Congress, lets get this bill passed!!!! Obama is right about his convictions!!!!

  • groundhog2008 : The local paper in my home town did a survey on passing health care reform by reconciliation. 54% thought that was a good idea while 48% did like it at all. I live in a very purple part of the country which tends to be very much like the whole country. Polls can easily be manipulated. Actually I think in the country a small majority want this reform.

  • floridagrandpa:

    Bullshism, your local paper in your home town does a poll and you believe that over every national poll done?

  • Obama is irritated with Congress's stalling. He's ready to get this bill passed

  • @lildwayne21

    Yes he is and it shouldn't pass,all we need is insurance companies taken over by this illegal president.

  • You can keep the change. Ill keep my freedom.

  • @09ZombieHunter To be against this great healthcare bill, one would have to be a racist! If the repubs came up with it, then this would have been a done deal. Just because Obama is Black, and has great, inovative ideas, the repubs dont want Him to get the credit for making America a better place to live!

  • Obama's "fresh" 11-page health care proposal is no different from the Senate bill. Obama pwrpoint draft includes the same bad proposals that the Senate bill does. But there is one key difference between the two: The Senate bill actually exists.

    Until Obama's proposal is drafted as official legislation, the only proposal the House can and will consider is the bill the Senate passed. Lawmakers should focus on starting over. The American people support health care reform, just not this one.

  • There are genuine reasons for pro-lifers to resist any move toward a nationalized health-care system. The iniquitous distribution of American healthcare is a scandal, but even the incomplete moves of the current plan create a system that no future bureaucracy or Congress will be able to resist using for purposes of social engineering. And, given the condition of social-elite opinion today, that will always mean increased government-sponsored abortion and euthanasia.

  • The President Obama's health-care will cost too much, it's "socialist," and it's big government at its worst. Not to mention, it will pay for abortions with your tax dollars.

  • @TheHonestPolitics What is wrong with abortions being paid for with tax dollars? Women should not be denied the right to choose!! If men were the baby carriers, then abortion wouldnt even be an issue! Free abortions for all!!

  • groundhog2008 : What about religious freedom? Abortion is a abomination to me and many others. Why should I be forced to help pay for killing babies? That is not even health care. If a women wants to do that she should pay for it herself or keep here legs crossed.

  • @floridagrandpa Abortion is a great birth control tool! Women should be allowed the right to choose!!!!

  • groundhog2008: Genocide is also by your definition birth control. Both kill living human beings because they are inconvenient for others. Health care promotes life not death. What choice does the unborn have in abortion? This is nutty reasoning. Change the word to something that has positive connotation (choice), when you really mean kill, murder.

  • @floridagrandpa A fetus is not a person until after it is born and it brings in its first breath of air on its own. While the fetus is inside of the woman, it is only an organism. Abortion should be included in Obama's version of healthcare reform, so that it will allow the woman's right to choose!!!!

  • I reject any proposal that authorizes a government takeover of any portion of our health care system.

  • I implore President Obama and our Democratic Party representatives (or should I say tyrants) in Washington to listen to the will of the American people and start over on health insurance reform.

    I reject a separate set of rules for government and private sector health insurance purchases.

    I oppose any plan that betrays our senior citizens by cutting Medicare coverage, or that allocates taxpayer funds to pay for abortion.

  • I reject any attempt by President Obama and our Democratic Party representatives within the federal government to force any American to purchase an unwanted insurance plan.

    I reject any attempt to implement a government-run insurance program.

    I reject individual mandates, rationing, and special deals for any state.

    I ask that Democratic Party Congress and President Obama to pledge in ensuring the constitutionality of any health insurance reform legislation.

  • Our Democratic Party has already lost the equivalent of every member we have acquired over the past seven years or more, and many of them are now supporting the tea party. More importantly, a recent Newsweek cover declared, "We are all socialists now."

    Eric Pearson, Democratic Party candidate for US Congress in the 5th district, Tennessee.

  • We as Democrats are marching in a parade with people Harry Truman or even Jack Kennedy would not recognize - socialist (also know as progressives). Strangely, without meaning to, we the mainstream Democrats find ourselves representing this socialist movement. However, for the socialist within our Democratic Party, there is nothing so strange about it. Socialists have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.

  • I do not agree with President Obama and our Democratic Party representatives in Washington.

    Many of us are now ashamed to be Democrats. More than that, we have come to fear our own Democratic Party. Hatred and corruption - the roots of socialism - are on the march as they have never been before, and leading this march is our Democratic Party. Increasingly, mainstream Democrats are uncomfortable with what they are seeing in our party. All the more, we know it is dangerous.

  • How do you expect our representatives in Washington to run National Health Care? Especially, when they didnt include themselves within the Health Care Bill, and have been incompetent in stopping past corruption and etc.

    Eric Pearson, Democratic Party candidate for US Congress in the 5th district, Tennessee.

  • Almost every American would be affected by the legislation, which would change the ways many people receive and pay for health care, from the most routine checkup to the most expensive, lifesaving treatment.

  • President Obama says that there is an urgency of healthcare reform. Well then, why is it taking so long?? Please, Democrats, get this done!!!! We dont need the do nothing repubs to get this important bill signed into law!!!! And, all of America thanks you Obama, for not giving up on passing this bill that so many Americans need and wants!!!!

  • We all know we need some form of health care reform, but I don't agree with our Democratic Party representatives in Washington.

    More importantly, I dont understand anyone supporting what they think is the current Health Care Bill. This has been going on for over a year, and our Democratic Party representatives in Washington can't even agree on it. As such, how can you have an opinion or even support it?

  • The seniors can write to you, Osama, but what about the murdered babies? How can they write you letters after they have been murdered through your filthy Deathcare Plan? You are a LIAR and how do you sleep at nights. Go on home and share some chewing tobacco with your wife now!!!

  • Pass single payer.

  • You are a TRAITOR to the American People.

  • Sure seems like it past time for Impeachment.

  • If this is impeachable, I take it you were asleep during Bush's administration? What about his reckless economic and social agendas, as well as his expansion of government? You act like all of our current problems started after Obama took office. Please, clarify what you're saying here.

  • While you were watching this video, 3 Americans died because they are not properly insured.

  • Obama said the Constitution of the United States is flawed, and has never praised our founding fathers.
