    Funny, tax cuts, tax cuts, and no income tax raise at all. Seems almost, republican, so how can any replubicans still hate. Oh my my, recovering money, this is all great. Whatever to the republicans, vote democrat!

    But lets see what happens, and write our congressmen and papers, and of course, youtube! Go Democrats! Health Care! Jobs! They are gonna do it, you need to believe in them if you didnt vote for them, cause if you dont want health care, then your sad. Why? Lets help people duh? Republicans might gain ground one day, but I will tell you, the republicans right now are the super losers you didnt want to talk to your whole life. The freaks with the negative views. The Dems have a plan cause they love

    The Government is standing up for its own people more then some reliaze. The republicans dont even HAVE a PLAN to stop denying coverage. They have no plan cause they hate people and love money just a little to much. If the Democrats hated us, the would let everything fail, why not? It saves EVERYONE MONEY? But they have a heart, and I have never seen this in my life. Maybe in the 70s or 60s years before me. They shot Hillary Clintons Health Care bill in the 90s so quick, and it would of worked.

    Believe in Miss Teen South Carolina or whatever God you have.

    It’s not about believe its about fact and fact is that anglo-saxon model of limited government lasse faire has totally failed to provide a good living for the majority of people.

    You sometime have to check if reality is really still in sync with the theories and if not the theories have failed and new ones have to be found.

    @llothar68 no, What separates America from the rest of the world is we believe in a limited government. this translates to the basics of freedom. unfortunately as of recent Republicans and Democrats have really gotten us into debt as a non-partisan and likely effort they believed would help. The nostalgia of socialism is like a drug, shore it give u the good fix but honestly it no good for u.

    His problem is he has no guts and he is not powerful enough for conflicts. Thats why even with a majority he was unable to get a health care change.

    He’s a puppet of Wall Street. But he is to dumb to see the strings on his own hands.

    @eatingmywheaties

    But government isn’t getting into everything. This is the problem.

    At the moment only government money is getting into everything. Thats socialism for the rich. They are happy with it.

    No but biggest disappointment since Jimmy Carter. He simply has not the guts to kick Geithners Wall Street ass.

    We as Democrats must take the lead with a powerful political opposition within our Democratic Party by participating in electoral politics. In addition, we must have a willingness to speak out in providing the facts and analysis people can us to criticize liberal proposals, and propose common-sense conservative alternatives.

    Especially since Obama and no one else in our Democratic Party seems to do so.

  16. geofiles said:

    We as Americans love our country and we do not want Obama the corrupted, dishonest and socialist liberal making radical changes within our government, especially when it curtails taking away our individual Liberty and Freedom.

  17. geofiles said:

    That would be great if a new one could work, and it is not like the last one.

    We now have 10 percent unemployment with 7 million people out of work, and Obama said it wouldn’t go over 8 percent if we spent the last trillion or so dollars. Not to mention, the last one had over 8,000 pork barrels put into it.

    If this jobs bill gets passed and indeed 4.7 million jobs are created, then what would he have to do to NOT get re-elected?

    This man is awesome! And I have been with him since Day One.

  19. Trendogg5 said:

    Stop hating on Obama he is doing a great job, just today the government announced the Recession over and a jobs bill was proposed by the Democrats that would give 4.7 million jobs in this country! I think he is doing a great job the republicans are just hating that real change is coming to America! Obama for 2012!!!!!!

    Our Democratic Party representatives in Washington act as though they have a record of accomplishment while our nation sits near economic collapse. We watch them bickering like little children as they posture and spin trying to make themselves look responsible. But in reality, our Democratic Party representatives in Washington have only made success through bribery. What? Yes, bribery. When you buy people off with money, that is bribery, and it has clearly become our Democratic Party specialty.

  23. geofiles said:

    President Obama has given our Democratic Party a terrible legacy that will live on for many years to come. He has shown those with any intelligence that anyone other than a corporate lobbyist should nevermore believe in a Democrat for any positive change. Our President Obama is clearly the false prophet of change. That is to say, except for given us a higher meaning of change in the form of gullibility accorded to Democratic Party demagoguery.

  24. geofiles said:

    Obama and his fellow socialist liberals in Congress have made enormous changes in the level of government spending and power. They have repealed welfare reform, set us on course to socialized health care, put an energy policy in place that will drastically increase our gas and electricity costs and cripple industry, and are waging war on productive people and businesses. A recent Newsweek cover declared, “We are all socialists now.”
