Well I can't deny that you don't think he's doing a good job, but I certainly can deny that he's making a lot of big mistakes, and I do. I think he's made some mistakes (all presidents do), but not a lot, and none of them big.

I didn't think anybody could be worse than Bush...But Obama is proving to be worse, 'he's Bush on steriods'. Obama is scaring the sh#t out of me. Obama can't spend money fast enough... And why are they passing bills without reading them first? I'm suppost to trust these liars with my health care?

And why is there talk of legalizing illegal immigrants now? Americans are losing jobs by the millions and they want to spend money legalizing illegal border crossers who will eat up more of our social service programs?? Stupid!!

Both Republicans and Democrats have sold out the American people. All the bailouts went to their fat-cat creedy elitist buddies...They don't give a crap about the American taxpayers...We're just their Slaves!
I agree

My repper is clogged until I spread some around.

That's too bad, since none of that nonsense is based in reality.

Well, I implore you to take some deep breaths and try to bring the same calm into your own life.

The sky is not falling.

Here is some background reading for you to do. I believe it's (relatively) neutral, and perhaps it will give you a better sense of both the history surrounding our current economic crisis, as well as the man who's at the helm of trying to right it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them here, as I'm sure we'll all be happy to help you find the answers you are seeking. Just beware of the hysteria and don't let it overwhelm you.

Barack Obama is a good man. The idea that he's being compared to arguably one of the most heinous men in history, Hitler, is profoundly offensive (especially to me, as a Jew). Please take that particular piece of rhetoric out of your discussion about President Obama. And thanks for taking the time to read the linked articles.

Hope you and Otto are doing well!
wow, thank you for such a caring and nice post. Look I dont it all like I said, yes I should not have said Hitler or compare him to Hilter it was stupid, I do alot of stupid things. I guess I need to read and get both sides and try to be open minded. Its interesting because I agree with some people on the right and I understand the left. Do I agree, I dont know yet. Thanks for the reading. I guess I should stop listen to Glen Beck. He is funny though you got to admit!

FOX news also criticized Bush. Hey at least with FOX you are getting pure facts. ....
Sorry. Had to stop reading at this point. Laughing so hard, I couldn't read any further....

Move to AZ. It's a seriously right-wing state. Even moderate Republicans can't get elected there. You have to be a true ideologue. You will love it there.

I guess the bottom line is I dont trust anyone of them anymore. I AM MAD!!! I dont want to have to bust my a@@ when IM 70! I planned this, waited, saved and I see it all eroding. I see if this keeps going on they want to take it all! I see that we have some good points on both sides but someone said its for their coporate and government green causes and everyone else is not included gets screwed. I believe this. I think if this bill passes its not good unless we already are with AL GORE. I dont believe its going to help the green gas crap. Then I guess we should not all exhaul. This is a big cause of green gas. SO kill us off with a plastic bag. Too bad they need us to pay for it. I mean I can be open but maybe we are being scammed. I dont believe anyone. Good points , great discussion, cant believe this started so many posts and so much mind thinking. I expect you people to call me a jerk. I got a few of those but I can take it. I will try to give this guy a chance but its not easy. I dont want the country to fail. I dont want people to be hurt or lose more. I guess I want to learn how to solve some of this crap but feel so helpless.
