When people have legitimate concerns, is this called "bickering"?

Your a good guy Obama .Help the people and forget the hating Republican goons.

I've come to the conclusion that Obama is either 1) As good and wonderful as he puts himself out to be and maybe he can do something for this country or 2) He's every bit as underhanded as people say he is and we're all in for some serious trouble in the near future. It's hard for me to trust someone in their first term since they have to worry about getting re-elected. We'll see who is truly is during his second term (assuming he has one).

@DayzdProductions In all fairness though people who were opposed to Bush used the word "stupid" more than their fair share of times. I would tell them the same thing you've just said. For people to dismiss any of these people as just "stupid" is arrogant and dangerous. And you're right, these people being labeled as stupid are far more intelligent than the average person. :-)

Could someone tell me what the hell this video has to do with "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" from The Muppet Show?

I dont want it,I dont want his communist care.

[DayzdProductions]

I wish I could meet every person that not only disrespects the president, but also calls him a socialist/communist and boot them out of the country.

There's a line that can be crossed when criticizing the person that tries to help our country.

If you don't like him, fine, if you don't like his ideas, fine, but respect him is what I'm saying. Saying he's "stupid", just proves how much of an idiot you are for insulting someone who is most likely 10x more intelligent than you.

Do away with all health Insurance, on the basis that it is an illegal gambling service to solve all of these problems, return to a free market run private service industry in health care, there is your necessary reform, nothing else will suffice in solving the problem. For those that need health care and cannot afford it (care will become much more affordable if my advice is taken) allow for a limited amount of social support formed within communities voted for and by the people of it.
