President Obamas Remarks on Health Care and F-22 Funding

President Obama gives remarks in the Rose Garden, praising the consensus that continues to build for health reform. Before he begins, though, he makes a point to praise the Senate for their vote against $1.75 billion for unnecessary F-22 fighter jets, having built another bipartisan consensus for fiscal discipline and changing the way Washington works.

@agcgunner

Whats this mig crap Iran and the over middele east nations have planse that the us sold to them lol .mostly phantoms and tom cats

The A10 is the only dedicated close air support fighter.

F22 is air superiority fighter.

Last i looked the terrorist had magic carpets to fly on or hi jack a plane .do you thing a F22 would resolve this threat any better ??

@agcgunner we have a couple hundred right now so we should be good for now

outdated?

[SammyBoyATP]

How do the troops lose when they have F-22 Raptors protecting them?? If I were on the ground fighting, I would love to have these wonderful pieces of machinery on my side. Are you telling me healthcare is more important than National Security?? Your agenda is out of whack. GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!! NATIONAL SECURITY FIRST, JOBS SECOND, HEALTHCARE THIRD!!! Why doesn't this guy start ACTING like the Commander in Chief?? More like Teleprompter in Chief lol!!!

[agcgunner]

lets actaully use something called our brain for a second

the f22 can not be detected on radar

it can hit moving targets from over 70 miles away

there now a mig that could easily shoot down any of our fighters besides the f22

when a soldier calls in an air strike instead of fighting upclose they are safer

when the US attacks you with planes that are invisible on radar you will shit yourself

just the presence of f22s promotes peace because the enemy knows if they pull something they will DIE

Obama is just as white as he is black. Except he talks like a white man. You stupid ethnics all think that you got your first black president but you're all wrong! Beyonce Knowles got her first Oreo/Chocolate Swirl president. And she can keep him!

lied about what ?? all the bs that you people come up with has no factual backing and holds no weight so the only other logical reasons why you people do this is because of his race or you are a brainwashed idiotic parrot who is repeating something that a real racist has come up with.

[edlemur]

explain the comments on your profile. not that i really care anyways, im a spaniard

[edlemur]

Its funny how you addressed dozens of things in your reply. Yet, I don't affirm any of them, let alone reference them in any of my previous replies.

Its almost like you're talking to yourself.

But hey, I'll bite

[edlemur]

yes it can be said to be bush's fault (do you think wars are cheap? )- much the same way that if the economy collapses, it can be partially due to the healthcare reform.
