@wowhornby Well, considering Glenn Beck predicted exactly what would happen plenty of times, I am going to believe him. I'm not gonna listen to Larry King who is biased against Republicans and whatever they do is wrong. Glenn Beck has his criticisms of both parties. Corporations are bad? Someone's a commie. Go to china if you're so mad. And btw, Obama bailed out plenty of corrupt corporations instead of letting them fail. Yay obama.

@MoldyDux honey you are in a coma. wake up. if you really think that glenn beck is right and that the left/right paradigm is really what america is about, then i just feel sorry for you. anyway good luck to you. don't kiss anyone's feet, but if you really think "bush wasn't that bad" lol..... lol..... lucky bush.

viva la corporation. they keep this stupid political system going in america.

@wowhornby I'm not gonna kiss Obama's feet because he didn't do anything good. He's not continuing the GOP agenda. I know Bush was not the ideal president, but I'm not gonna say he was a bad one. He was average and he was more of a liberal than a conservative with his big spending. And thank god Obama extended the tax cuts, why? Because he realized Bush was right.

@MoldyDux bla bla bla bla bla. yea you're right. our government is illegally taxing and warring. the health care bill isn't even about the constitution. it's about the damn companies, who actually wrote the bill. if you are a GOPer, please go and kiss Obama's feet. He is continuing the GOP agenda.

@wowhornby Why didn't he fix the problem yet? Stop saying that he inherited the problem. It doesn't matter if he inherited a problem.. In all his speeches, he blames Bush. Well, look at where that gets us. Nowhere. He could try and fix the problem instead of piling more money to the national debt like he did by passing the healthcare bill, which isn't even constitutional by the way since the federal government should not have the right to force anyone to buy healthcare if they don't want it.

Forcing the poor and unemployed to purchase health care insurance is just plain wrong and absolutely shameful. Hopefully, this atroscity will be repealed.

@delemalia And your country is virtually bankrupt, without a war!

And it is AXIS of evil.

So far the great reforms you love so much have folks in Florida suffering from chronic pain because Obummer here bothered the Governor into signing a "reform" because scum were exploiting our laws to get prescription medication illegally, my mother whom suffers from a fatal illness can now look forward to trying all of 12 pills, a 3 day supply to "prevent abuse", then she has to pay for a doc again.
