Well....this is definitely NOT the time to be quiet!! This cat is trying to transform this country into something we never would have imagined!
i know right esp the older southerners never would have thought to see a coloured man in the white house unless he worked as a whipping boy under jesse helms
Hummm..... but it was OKAY to call President Bush a coward, traitor, stupid, murderer, you name it, and he was called it..... I guess we only censor those with an "R" by their name........

This guy spent only 165 days in the US Senate before he ran for Prez. That is all...... but he wow-ed everybody with his smooth delivery. Made everybody believe he was everything they wanted him to be. Just a blank slate they could all write their wishes on! Wow!!
theres no requirment on a number of days to be in a senate so whats your problem, hell senate is higher than state goverment...
you voted for bush right, was he everything you thought to be minus the war he intended
this is simply a jealolusly issue, and somewhat of a racist issue from old conservative heads and their deep down supporters

gosh americans are getting dumber by the day... if we can call other world leaders murderers and they havent lifted a finger nor pulled the trigger the same thing can be said of any american politician regardless of the stinking R or D next to his retarded name
Some of you should be ashamed. Every time you invoke Godwin's Law you are insulting millions upon millions of people who actually had to deal with Nazis. You weaken the lessons taught by history about the Nazis.
So... uh yeah, have fun with your ultra-hysterical Nazi hyperbole.
P.S. Interfering with other peoples' right to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly is not guaranteed "freedom of speech".

You know....I stood in line TO VOTE with people who didn't even know who our Governor was! They were only there to vote for "CHANGE". To vote for someone who had no ....zero......nada executive experience. Some had never voted in their lives. Yet they had the power to elect a guy for one reason only. Because he was black. They couldn't name one policy or piece of legislation he'd wrote. BECAUSE HE WASN'T THERE LONG ENOUGH! Voted "present" more times than Amy Winehouse has been stoned.
Well.....we got what we deserved. Hopefully the next congressional election will turn the tide. 2010 can't get here fast enough!
And George W Bush (a burned out alcoholic over-the-hill frat boy) was elected soley because he was the son of a prior (lackluster) Republican President whom Republicans thought they could (and did) mold into making whatever decisions they wanted (ie have a financial free-for-all for the Good Ole Boys Club and driving America into a Depression second only to the Great Depression)
But Obama is used as the scapegoat for Bush's 8 years of bad decisions. This is a typical "slight-of-hand" tactic by the Republicans who refuse to accept their role in the problems that America is suffering today.
The Republicans hope that if they scream "Obama is a Socialist-Nazi-Muslim-NonCitizen-Baby Killer-Flying Purple People Eater" long enough and loud enough that America will forget that GWB is the person who is really responsible for this MESS!!
First off, Robert Gibbs is an inept fool. I don't know how on earth he was ever appointed Press Secretary. Even the most liberal reporters are starting to attack him because he so clueless. As far as protesters showing less civility, how civil is it for our government to shove legislation down our throats after promising to let us read the proposals five days in advance? (Oh, I forgot the rules, promise anything it takes to win the election.) Americans have every right to be angry. Obama and the democrats played many for fools with their hollow promises. It is time for Americans to make their voices heard. Who cares if they think we are recruited? The White House and the Democratic Party are in serious denial. They need to buy a vowel and get a clue. We will not sit by quietly while Congress tries to pass legislation that we do not want. THEY WORK FOR US!!
... GWB is the person who is really responsible for this MESS!!
And if Obama and the Democrats fail to fix it and make it worse instead will GWB be blamed ?
Obama voted for the bankster bailout. He was there for the closed door talk given by Greenspan and Bernake. He knew darn well what he was in for if elected.
Time to give up the blame game and start holding the current administration accountable for what direction this country goes in.
Honestly I feel sorry for people like you, you are the ones who have sucked down the kool-aid and are following after a group of people who are so out of touch with reality its amazing they are conscience.
Obama is only dangerous to the delusions of granduer of the Republican Right who are still on the ground having a baby fit that they don't have someone in the white house this term.
OH and having alot of money in the bank because he can attract idiots, does not make him a person to follow. Think for yourself.
OK, I'll go first. CBO says heathcare under the People's Republic of the United States will cost even more than if we did nothing at all.
Congress's chief budget analyst delivered a devastating assessment yesterday of the health-care proposals drafted by congressional Democrats, fueling an insurrection among fiscal conservatives in the House and pushing negotiators in the Senate to redouble efforts to draw up a new plan that more effectively restrains federal spending. Under questioning by members of the Senate Budget Committee, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, said bills crafted by House leaders and the Senate health committee do not propose "the sort of fundamental changes" necessary to rein in the skyrocketing cost of government health programs, particularly Medicare. On the contrary, Elmendorf said, the measures would pile on an expensive new program to cover the uninsured.
I think for myself that this is a money pit that will give the government the power to deny healthcare to those who need it most while providing it to illegal aliens in the name of saving money (keep them out of emergency rooms). I also think for myself that amnesty is the next shoe to drop.
The same CBO said that the "stimulus" would hurt the economy in the long run. It has produced exactly zero jobs to date. So why are we continuing down this same wrong path of stealing from the next generation as though something different were going to happen. Cut spending and taxes and let the economy recover without the government screwing things up even worse.
