U definitely r right for an european observer of US politics Obama does whats necessary even if some his decisions r outright conservative bcuz the situation & electorate demand it

GOP seems to be consumed by hatred of this president, they lost their rationale

Say NJET to everything

The % of GDP spent for health care in US is TWICE as big as in Sweden yet US has 30% uncovered

How do u pull it off guys?

GO TO A HOSPITAL

TELL THEM YOU DON'T HAVE INSURANCE

TELL THEM YOU HAVE DIABETES, OR CANCER

see what happens...

atrillion dollars akllready wasted on a war of lies- meanwhile your fellow citizens DO DIE because they can't afford health insurance like you and me.

MORE AMERICANS DIE IN A DAY FROM LACK OF HEALTH CARE THAN DID ON 9-11.

yet we pour trillions into the pentagon?

I totally trust Manning, and Elder says lots of things right. As far as the rest, I feel they are clueless coons that can't run a shoeshine stand. obama is a homosexual, illegal porch monkey. That can't be denied. He must be imprisoned, then sent back to whatever country will take him. Him and his fat, ugly wife are beyond belief. She must also be imprisoned for fraud. Go to: Rick Wiles. Susan Daniels. Jerome Corsi.

Um I think they meant "Treehouse" retreat...:o

That "shoeshine" boy Obama wouldn't make a pimple on a president's ass...What an underachiever...:)

I'm sure Obama would gladly go back there again for more Republican questions considering how good he looked doing it this time . Oppositely, Republicans probably never want that to happen again. Republican Mike Spence on the subject said it should be akin to the prime minister going to parliament because he's a part of parliament, and that because Obama wasn't part of the Republican party, that it would probably be unnecessary to have any similar meetings in the future.

@danteslight it would take continued multi trillion dollar deficit spending to take down the greatest economy this planet has ever seen. it would take central control by blow hard bureaucrats who believe they know more than the american people in order to destroy the almost indestructable cross fabric of competing ideas and multiple approaches used to weave a powerhouse nation built on the wisdom and soaring spirit of free people. this is a manufactured crisis meant to cut america down to size.

macbev, there's no question that preferred corporate contractors have an in with corrupt politicians of both parties who are in the process of destroying this great nation. Corruption will only grow worse as big government with lawmaking, policing, and taxing powers becomes greater and greater. The key to regaining equilibrium is to limit government and force business back to the best anti-greed, anti-corruption solution possible. Free market competition with business using it's own capital.

Blackwater, military contractors, and Wall Street are the people who are robbing us blind, and it is the corporate-controlled media who are making sure that you are kept blind. Our legislators are perfectly happy to borrow vast quantities of money from countries that do not have our best interests at heart. What happens when the loans are called in? We will have spent all our money defending the free CORPORATE world and have nothing left - we will be a third world country.

[danteslight]

Are you retarded. You honestly thing that is all it took to take down the most influential economy in the world? A few bad apples?

Not the tax cuts, the war, and everything else he wasted money on for 8 years and got absolutely no results?

Should I explain how tax cuts work?

People pay less into the government but the government puts more money out.

Are you serious right now?

Not to say that that didn't feed into this. It did. But that was not even close to the sole problem.

jorge0214, good question. washington is a poisoned well. posturing is more important than governing. we are so divided in this nation it has become almost impossible to get agreement on anything. it has become a free for all.

[jorge0214]

i agree

sorry for the bombast

my issue and it should be all of ours is this:

we have to address the rising cost of health care and the fact that tens of millions of us don't really have it.

i am open to any sane option. but all i have heard from the GOP or Fox News is that we must maintain the status quo and make sure the president fails.

how is that creating a better future for our children?

I LIKE YOUR IDEAS- DO YOU THINK EVEN ONE REPUBLICAN WILL LISTEN?
