Are they doing this because it's good for the public? Or are they catering to their corporate masters?
Both A & B.

Then another thread will say that there's no change, what's he doing?

So what is it?

He either is, or he isn't.
It can't be both ways.
95% regarding the health care bill.

You will get to vote - the illegals who are being bought, will cancel out any vote against Obama.

I read about the health care debate, has it affected my family's decsions about medical care? no. will it ... probably not. I think this healthcare reform is nothing but a boon for the healthcare cartel, but I don't think that it's "scary" ... it's BS, but I'm not askeered of BS.

Gitmo is still open ...
We're still in Iraq and Afghanistan
The government is still wiretapping American phones

maybe a smidge has change, but not much. The US is no more scary than when Cheney was in charge.
How about debt for generations & takeovers of banks & car companies as well as proposed taxes that will prevent prosperity for generations & proposed takeovers of health care, energy & anything else the elites deem necessary to control people...seriously you might want to pay more attention to what he wants to do & who he surrounds himself with.

Until something effects them personally, it doesn't matter.
Don't you see that ?

"Other countries are going to start running circles around us," Obama said in a White House interview with PBS. "We're going to have to return to some sense that governance is more important than politics inside the Senate."


I'm wondering if he will start tampering w/ the legislative process.

If this (health care) is truly a big problem, and this solution is really the right solution, the people would be on board, and this would fly through the legislative process.

The truth is that the American people are holding up this bill. I think he knows this. And he would would like from the citizenry - less mouth and more taxes - in other words, shut up and do what I want, when I want.

The legislative rules are there for a reason, and I'm sure he would take advantage of them when necessary. He is just whining.

The fear tactic is that we will look bad amongst the other countries. What an immature attitude. Who cares how we look. Do things right so that the people truly benefit. The overwhelming majority of people will not benefit from this bill. More people are realizing this and are trying to stop it.

Excellent post. Obama has yet to figure out that he works FOR us, the citizens, we don't work for him.

We aren't an open checkbook for his experiment with changing America as we know it.

He needs to wise up and stop being a fool.
