Obama lies uncovered. All he has managed to do is destroy a working albeit imperfect capitalistic society. Now, after failing at helping the American people in anyway to recover, their homes, their taxes, giving billions to corporations, no new taxes, cash for clunkers is out of cash, now, he says he'll have to raise our taxes to pay for health care.
So what have you given us Mr. Obama: Higher unemployment than under Bush, a war in Afghanistan, haven't freed the terrorists in Gitmo, but one, and no thanks for that anyway, and insulted police officers but managed to have a beer and show the world what a racist you are!
If I sound angry, I am and I'm not alone!
At least with Bush we stayed safe after 9-11, had our taxes reduced, and kept our guns!
Bring back lying Bush who if you remember was a Republican, or Reagan when we were wealthy, remember: Vote Republican!
Youl've been lied to, America!
If it's a black president we, vote J.C. Watts. Now, that's an honest man.
See Obama lie in this quoted article on You Tube Video:
From the Examiner "Obama’s desire to trash the status quo in heath care and bring online a single payer system in the U.S. is revealed in this shocking uncovered video. Congress, who has never managed anything efficiently, has screwed up America at every twist and turn. Remember their failures social security, Medicare, cash for clunkers and take it in the polling booth with you in 2010"

Umm Carol if you recall the bailouts started under Bush..at least this batch. We have been doing corporate welfare for decades just not on this grand of a scale.
So he has to raise taxes to get healthcare for everyone so what? What value do YOU put on human life? $10 $15?
Bush did NOT keep us any safer than Clinton did. Remember there were NO attacks on US soil by outsiders from the first attackes on the WTC. That was UNTIL Bush took office.
Clinton kept us safe. Bush made us a target.
Health care reform doesn't need to be taxed. Why is it we throw good money after bad, and that means it will work. Welfare doesn't work. Medicaid is broke. Social Security is broke. Give us our money and good people such as yourself and I will donate like it used to be. I believe people are good, and if you leave me some money, I'll use it as I see fit, not as the government sees fit, and then misuses.
What is it you think every senior should know about the proposed healthcare bill.
There you go again assuming things you have no factual knowledge of. Sad and just sadder!
There are THREE bills in congres as we speak being marked up and ammended and rewritten which will be presented to the floor of congress when they returnin the Fall.
There are some folk out there who still choose to assume--I guess it is easier than actually thinking!

Bingo you hit the nail on Marilyn's head.
Nothing gets by you, does it Lori? :) Sorry, couldn't resist! You know I love you!
"Bush did NOT keep us any safer than Clinton did. Remember there were NO attacks on US soil by outsiders from the first attackes on the WTC. That was UNTIL Bush took office."
Oh, come on Lori. Al Qaeda plans attacks for years and many analyses I've read say that the planning for 9-11 began almost immediately after the 1993 WTC bombing. Yes, it happened on Bush's watch, but the wheels had been set in motion long before he ever took office. There's plenty of blame to go around for 9-11, and some of that blame most certainly rests with President Clinton (I'm reading a particulary riveting account of the failures of both Clinton and Bush with regard to 9-11 right now).
WTC was well past planning stages before our 2000 election became history. Yes, it happened on Bush's watch but it would have happened on the other guy's watch as well.
I really get a headache from these political posts because they seem to attract real, life-breathing buffoons.
Today is 8/5/09.
I am still a Republican.
Bill Clinton did good today.
~ applause ~
Srsly Bush ruined our economy. He did give us a couple tax breaks especially for those underprivledged top 1% of all wage earners.
Bush was a joke...he even recognizes it. You dont hear to much from him.
I don't care who you are, that's funny!
Yeah, those lucky SOBs actually got to pay a LARGER percentage of the total federal income tax bill after Bush's tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. Funny how that worked out, huh?
"You dont hear to much from him."
That's because unlike Carter, Bush believes it's inappropriate to publicly bash a sitting president. Clinton by and large refrained from bashing Bush, except for a few occasions when he had to in order to appease a particular audience.
The Carter era was the saddest period in American history. He was a nice guy, but not a president.
That appears to be your solution and if your kid makes over $250,000 tax his butt to pre bush era tax cuts and America will surely fall?
Do you even listen to what you say?
Oh, and about the GOP lolligagging about everything, I'm sure you realize that Democrats have a majority in the House and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, meaning they don't need a single Republican vote to get anything they want passed. The problem seems to be that they can't keep all the Democrats in line, though. Still, it is convenient to blame Republicans, right? Even if the facts don't support the charge?
"Are you ready to send MORE soldiers to their death?"
Did you know that President Obama doubled the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan? Talk about sending more soldiers to their deaths!
Did he double the amount of soldiers in Afghanistan by sending in fresh wet behind the ears boys or did he transfer them from Iraq? See, your words make it seem like he recruited more but in fact, he used who was already in combat in the illegal occupied country. Twisting facts to suit your desires doesn't change the facts. We should get out of Iraq since we are the terrorists there.
Why was there such a big circus for Sotomayor? Why all the bells and whistles? Because the GOP wanted to be sure that even though she was gonna make it, they HAD to show their colors (pun intended) and prove how much money they could waste to try and keep a Hispanic out.
Is he the Commander-in-Chief or not? He doesn't care about differing opinions on domestic policy, so why would he care about differing opinions on foreign policy? Or are you saying he's beholden to special interests?
Think about what you are saying here: "If it was solely up to Obama, the troops would be back home instead of, yes, terrorizing innocent people."
It was solely up to him, as Commander-in-Chief, to double the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, to continue the rendition of terrorist suspects to third countries, to allow the CIA to continue to operate short-term overseas detention facilities, and to expand unmanned drone attacks inside Pakistan in violation of Pakistani sovereignty.
"Did he double the amount of soldiers in Afghanistan by sending in fresh wet behind the ears boys or did he transfer them from Iraq?"
The answer is both. He has diverted troops scheduled to go to Iraq (but no troops have been shifted directly from Iraq to Afghanistan) and he has increased recruiting efforts to expand the Army by 30,000 new (believe your term is wet behind the ears) troops.
Did it occur to you that not everyone thinks Sotomayor is a good enough judge to be on the Supreme Court? Are we all supposed to think alike? What a boring world that would be.
Oh yeah, by the way, the GOP tried to put a Hispanic on the Supreme Court. His name was Miguel Estrada and he was shut out by Democrats.
How did you come up with that one? How did I miss that before? Racist! Black man = POTUS = Racist--just how many of these racist POTUS have there been? Regan was openly racist and quite a few more--after all how do you explain the thousands of Blacks with the sir name of Jackson and Jefferson, to name a few? Remember he (POTUS is the child of a Kenyan father and a white American woman) who grew up in Hawaii with white grandparents. What a reach!
1. His minister the Rev. Wright
2. His wife's comments.
3. His calling the police stupid in regards to Gates.
I could go on but most don't want the truth. They want a handout.
Yeah, that's why he reworked the tax tables to completely remove 11 million low income citizens from the federal income tax rolls. I wish he would have disliked me that much.
Carol, dear, we as Americans can talk about anything we choose and the big problem with having that Right is that ALL who hear, interprets the same message quite differently. Clear your heart Carol and your mind will follow. BTW...your other two examples fall flat and do not warrant attention.
You read what? There is no bill.
The other issues you have with a Democratic President are so Palinesk I just shake my head. 200 days in office and the only thing the GOP and their followers can agree on is that they want to disempower the POTUS at all costs. I think they call that treason.
Have you looked up treason lately? The GOP and the extreme right are coming very close. There is nothing in the agenda of the admin of POTUS 44 to indicate to the mentally enlightened that he is condoning or advocating communism. Show me the proof of your accusations and I will reconsider, until then calm down and think good thoughts for the future.
And facts please.
You looking to get a new Home Depot card?
This just gets to be so stupid, that the desparation of the frightwing noise machine is even more apparent.
The only thing that's remarkable is that they keep getting stooges to post this crap.
We will get there, if you contact your Senator and Rep espousing your support for the Health care package reform that will bring us closer to getting things done. POTUS cannot move without congress so yell and scream at them support the POTUS and soon life will be good again.
As far as a Nation in debt is concerned, when have we not allowed foreign investors to engage in U.S. economic ventures? I voted for Kennedy in the 1960's and I recall a big stink that Asians were buying American farms--that was titled the end of the world yet, here we are.
You need to realize that we are in the 21st Century and history is changing as we speak not just today's history but facts of yesterday and centeries ago are being re-written to uncover the lies and coverups which were written into the libraries of out Noation.
I take strong exception to people I do not know nor have I ever met telling me what I NEED to do rather than opening their mind and understanding that the world is larger than the marbles rolling around in their heads. If you knew me you would not address me like I was one of your children.
If you want to chastise someone try the people who drove this Country into deep unnecessary debt and thrust us into a senseless war for no other reason than to make a profit on their personal investments and for their oil and big business friends. Read, that is what I do for a living and I will happily tell you that reading is only one way to achieve knowledge one must use their own mind in order to develop it.
So study Greek and Roman history, and see a dictator. Now, see Obama. Bush was a bad president but not a dictator. Obama wants to change America. I like America.
Improvement in the economy will be gradual. We see signs of improvement now, but Obama does not have an over-night miracle to perform.
These are some early some signs of recovery in my state, Texas, due to the stimulus package.
With less than one third of the stimulus allocated and only a percentage of that in effect, Texas is beginning to show results:
69,000 transportation jobs
$800 pay raise for public school teachers
$1.7 billion in other education projects
No cut in Medicaid!
$12 billion to balance the state budget
Is the stimulus plan working? Slowly it is. We cannot expect an overnight miracle. Let's be patient.
We tax payers pay for those things and much more or, do you think you can live without the services of Government?
What will you do at the end of next year when the stimulus money ends and the 69,000 transportation jobs go away, the pay raise for public school teachers can't be paid for, the education projects end, Medicaid gets cut, and the state budget goes back to a deficit because there isn't any more federal money flowing and the spending patters haven't changed?
That's the problem with the stimulus--it's not a solution, it's a band aid!
If I sound angry, I am and I'm not alone!"
I think you sound crazy, and unfortunately I know you're not alone.
You are an ass! I really resent asshole who claim people who don't like Obama don't like him because of a percentage of his race. Those that do are the racists. So Bunny is hopping racist.
When you repeatedly call someone a racist, without legitimate reason, simply because you don't like his politics, you had best be prepared for some of that mud to be slung back at you.

rac·ism
noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
Just because the majority of people who disagree with Obama happen to be white, does mean he is racist. It means disgruntled neocons are using an emotionally loaded word in a desperate attack to stop the country from making much needed progress.
All of your comments and posts have no validity to them. So, what excuse do you have?
Bush was just an idiot and why would ANYONE want him back?
If Carol has ANY logical and valid reason to spit on the guy, let her post them. But I bet it all goes back to "well, he just ain't qualified and he ain't a citizen and he is a muslim ect...." the same racist ignorant spew that got him elected in the first place.
Next time you're pondering why it is that your kooky fringe party of raving loonie toons is firmly out of office, and will be for many decades to come, try to take into consideration the fact that you're all utterly unhinged from reality to begin with. You people are just flat out stupid, that's all there is to it, and the majority of this nation has firmly rejected your stupidity. Sorry!
You can go on and on with your factional arguments that lead nowhere different, call each other names, each believing in your own autonomous perfection, but it does nothing for the end result, at best serving to provide me and a few others the critical answers to only WHY we are in the mess we're in, but still with no resolution in sight to the grave problems we face. What can I do but laugh? Would I rather cry?
I'm disappointed in Gather Writing Essential for accepting this.
You mean TheGawd™ wants them to lie?
Of coarse not. But only they can see the TRUTH. The rest of us are blinded by those pesky facts and knowledge and logic. Carol and Marilyn are doing their best to spread the TRUTH by calling everyone they disagree with racist, and being generally unpleasant and illogical. It's the Christian way. ;)
It's been six months, people. Unless Obama has a magic wand stashed some where, we're about where I expected to be. Recessions are not supposed to be laugh-a-minute, fun experiences. It's supposed to suck. Hopefully we learn from past mistakes, and make better policies and decisions to prevent similar future problems. But it's not supposed to be easy. I realize change is difficult, but you are not helping make anything better. The system is broken, so let's fix it. And by "fix it," I don't mean keep kicking it until it dies.
Seems like ya'll are the ones who are saying, "Obaama!"
Of course, it didn't stop presidents from owning slaves, or perpetrating genocide on native populations, or lying our way into wars, or looting the treasury, but at least they were white guys, right Randi?
You are so good at America bashing. Where did you learn that self loathing? Or is just Republicans you loathe?
Jennifer,
Grow up.
Oh and the indigenous people of these American lands were just wasting it so they got what they deserved....plus, they were dark skinned.
Well, all is fair in love and war so we have every right to declare illegal war even though we knew it was all a lie about the WMD.....but. did you see all the money made?!?! Well, not Joe Q Public but lots of companies with gov't contracts made billions.....oh, and most were "affluent" already and had ties to Bush and Cheney! How'd THAT happen?
Oh Ali, you seem to know the secret here.....it is about race.
Carol;
I'm not America bashing, I'm stupidity bashing, so no wonder you're feeling it.
[T]he insurers have played the inside game, spending about $40 million on an army of lobbyists and lavishing campaign contributions on Democrats and Republicans to kill the public option. In all, the health industry spent $133 million in the second quarter alone, more than a million bucks a day.
And over the weekend, the association, which represents 1,300 insurers and HMOs across the country, told POLITICO’s Mike Allen that it was stepping up its activity, advising members to confront representatives critical of the industry at August town hall meetings.
They're actually shipping people around the country with the express purpose of disrupting town hall meetings.
It is supposed to be a good tactic to drown out out sanity and expected to be effective for the disrupters the GOP is frantically grooming.
I'll start...............
I pledge allegiance............
