Healthcare, the environment, stimulus package, the economy must be handled IMMEDIATELY without delay,....without study,....without input from anyone other than the democrat sheeple who kiss the kings butt.

The government poured BILLIONS into GM and Chrysler,....and they are bankrupt anyway. Why not let them fail from the beginning?

Healthcare? What's the rush? It's no different than it was two decades ago. The economy is moving even without the "stimulus" earmarks and the billions wasted by the government.

It might be better to properly study a "perceived problem" before making changes that might make it worse. Let's slow down and do NOTHING for a while. The KING has three more years to ruin this nation. There's no need to do it in six months.
Because if we wait too long, we might notice the tires are about to fall off and realize we are buying a lemon. So we must hurry, we most act fast or lose this amazing once in a life time deal, act now supplies limited!

Oh...

and no refunds.

Americans want a short cut to everything ... the quick fix.

Most Americans don't care how they get there, just so long as they do ... Americans don't want to wait for anything. It's just not in their nature.

Everyone would prefer to just wake up one morning and instantly have free healthcare, low fuel costs, good job and a great mortgage rate on a house that's not worth even a quarter of what they agreed to pay.

Sure we've got problems, and many of these problems stem from the American people themselves and the "get it done yesterday" mentallity they have.

Americans aren't interested in sitting down to look at all of the different ways a problem might be solved. They instead leave it up to their elected leaders, who in turn, are Americans themselves, and do they very same things that all of the others in this country do ... If you ever want to know how Americans really are? Just take a good long look (if you can sit still long enough) at the American Congress ...

If he tries to fix things in a timely fashion, (and provide the change promised) he's on a hurry. What does it take? To wave a magic wand and fix it all? He's trying to fix this mess and he's done a lot to try to do it fast. I’m not going to say I agree with everything or that I’m an Obama fan, but I can say one thing, he’s dedicated to fixing this and fixing it fast! The ones who keep saying the sky is falling are the first ones to criticize every move he makes. Sound like he can't make them happy no matter what he does.
Tackling the economy, the environment, changing the healthcare system, and government take-over of major private enterprise deserves STUDY, not helter-skelter activitity. There has been NO initiative that the administration has NOT deem a "breathless crisis" that MUST be tackled immediately, with great haste, and little study.

Look at the stimulus package that was passed without anyone reading it. Looks like the same for healthcare, cap and trade, and the economy. Tackling the automobile "crisis" is a good example. Insert BILLIONS and then they file bandruptcy anyway. Smoothe move, labor-lover.

The stimulus package was a "crisis", the auto industry a "crisis", the financial industry a "crisis", the economy a "crisis", and now the environment becomes a "crisis" along with the healthcare "crisis", and each MUST be addressed WITHOUT DELAY, study, or input. Anyone see any RED FLAGS here?

Many citizens are sick of this dictator ramming "CRISES" down our collective throats in the name of "CHANGE". Some may not care about preserving the foundation of our nation, but there are many who don't want the independent little dictators/CZARS to run our lives and destroy our way of life.

Do you have any idea how this looks to anyone not totally brainwashed by the far right propaganda machine. Jeeeez

Healthcare, the environment, stimulus package, the economy must be handled IMMEDIATELY without delay,....without study,....without input from anyone other than the democrat sheeple who kiss the kings butt.
How do you KNOW there was not any study or input, you work on Capital Hill or the Whitehouse? Somehow I doubt it.

The government poured BILLIONS into GM and Chrysler,....and they are bankrupt anyway. Why not let them fail from the beginning?Which Many of us were against from the begining, but we know that no matter what the right was going to whine about it, it has become the norm.

Healthcare? What's the rush? It's no different than it was two decades ago. The economy is moving even without the "stimulus" earmarks and the billions wasted by the government.What is the rush? Did you bother to think about those without insurance that are in desperate need of medical treatment yet cannot get it, bet it would be a rush if it were you or yours in need. So the stimulus has nothing to do with the economy improving, you know this how, got a study or facts to show your statement is truth? Oh, good to see someone from the right admitting the economy is getting better.

It might be better to properly study a "perceived problem" before making changes that might make it worse. Let's slow down and do NOTHING for a while. The KING has three more years to ruin this nation. There's no need to do it in six months.
So you can whine that he is doing nothing? Yes, he has only had six months and with all the unattended issues left by Bush he has a long way to go and he needs to get started fast. 3 more years? Your Party runs Palin in 2012 and he is assured of 7.5 more years get used to that idea.

If he included the nitty gritty on the progressive movement, I dare say he may have lost, although Bush really lobbed the pitch to him, there may have been no stopping it.
Exaggeration makes you look smart.

Typical liberal response right down to the false assumption that one who opposes King Obama is a Bush supporter.

I don't care who runs against Obama in 2012, they automatically have my vote.

Anybody but Obama.

This is standard for every presidency. There is well-known historical precedence that if a President doesn't get the "big stuff" done in the first year or so, odds are very low that it will not get done. It's not specific to Obama's presidency.

By creating a sense of urgency/fear they hope to get their wants passed!
