Onbama is the Essence of Class, and I'm proud of Him

We need health care reform, fix education, our dependence on oil...Liberty is usually defined as freedom from government restriction on the exercise of one's rights, and leave people to do as they please. This speech goes against what the Revolutionists were wanting for this country.

funny thing is, the people that helped build what we now know of as America, would now be considered terrorists. They we the patroits, members who created the tea party, people who led the revolutionary armys out to abolish the red coats off american soil. they were to become our founding fathers, our presidents. they helped write our bill of rights and our consitution. how effective are those two parchments now?

Obama is the "DESECRATION of Independence" .....

The first Americans fought and rebelled against high taxes from the British, but now we have climbing taxes more than ever, because of course Democrats just want to punish the rich, always holding out a waiting hand. Socialists! Impeach Obama! I hope it's not too late for us to realise where this road is leading us. We need a good Republican president.

Far from being from the "redneck south" as you put it....Northeast actually. And if all these "radical" bills get passed you'll soon see who will get "screwed" (not being a crude as you)...It will be ALL of America! BTW You sure are opinionated about people who live in the South.

This is the United States of America and we are everything BUT united. All everyone wants to do is fight, divide, seperate and distance themselves from everyone else. Look at the amount of hate on a small scale... youtube! This is absolutely appalling. Instead of banding together and dealing with what we have in modern times, we just complain and bitch and whine and do nothing else. I often find that the people who have the most to say are the ones who don't vote. WTF is wrong with people?

LIAR and FRAUD.
