A huge supporter of obama's, Warren Buffett, has given obama a warning about his economics. He says that if obama doesn't stop spending the way he is, he will turn America into a banana republic. I don't think obama is listening. I did see this on Hanity last night, Warren Buffett could deny this if it wasn't said.
If obama is so hot on health care reform, why doesn't he do one thing at a time and make sure he has public support? Tort reform would be a good start. Instead of trying to get his agenda accomplished in under a year, even if he only got 2 things done during his 4 year term, do them right. It isn't about what he wants so much as what the American people want.
That is one of the biggest problems with every administration, nothing they do will effect any of them. Most of them have never worried about money, but without involving us, they decide what we want and need.
Slow down BHO! It's okay if everything doesn't get done this year.

He's got to shove everything through before 2010. He knows he's toast. The health care "reform" fiasco....his legacy.

The sooner everyone realizes what Obama is up to the better.
He doesn't care about health reform he cares about growing the government and thus, changing America.
His changes include transforming this nation into a socialist country with the majority totally dependant on the Government.

He won't enjoy a second term that's for sure!

FORTUNATELY sensible people will realize this chance of a setting up a UHC was scuttled by the Insurance, Big Pharma and Medical Supply industries. The voters will reelect Obama with an overwhelming majority and then we WILL institute a government UHC and cut the insurance people out their own racket. Pharma will be next by reducing their patent monopoly and their price fixing.

WE WIIL WIN!

Ahhhh yes if you believed in this fairytale. While we are at it once Government controls it all and set new prices. Wont the insurance companies, Big Pharma and Medical Supplies just pad the pockets of those in washington. They already do it now and I fear with more control in the governments hand wont that just make corporations that much more powerful. Last time I checked government is not interested in the people and really interested in power, control and the businesses that support them come election time. Now this time the government will have more power to enact all the changes the corporations have been paying for. Big Pharma and these corporations have been writting laws for decades to benefit themselves and they use government to enact these laws. They stop free market ideas which in turn creates a unbalanced choice for individuals. More government control gives corporations more power since this government believes in power and money and controlling people they have no idea what limited power is and or the constitution. Corporations should never be allowed to have a decision on these topics and most of all Government should not be involved in these topics. Healthcare is not the role of government it is not in the constitution and not a designed function of a free society. Corporations stay in power and control prices with help from government. Now you want govenrment to have more power over the already shirking free market that is left. Powerful governments enslave people, corporations with the help of government enslave the people. Governments with little power free the people, corporations are below the people and the people are free.

This is all about power and control, improving healthcare has absolutely nothing to do with Obama's agenda. Once government gains control over such a large part of the economy they are a controlling force in our lives forever. This cannot be allowed to happen.

The sensible people are the ones that are attending tea parties and town halls, marching, writing, phoning and emailing their representatives to stop this takeover.

Obama, with his close affiliations with socialists, communists and felons and organizations such as ACORN, should be impeached before his radical agenda is achieved.

If this is simply a matter of improving healthcare, why the rush? Why not start slowly and carefully examine what works and what doesn't. There is absolutely no need to rush to dismantle the whole system - unless what you want to achieve isn't really healthcare at all, but diminished personal freedom and the insertion of government control into every American's life. This is what Obama is really all about.

There's no question in my mind that he hates what America stands for - his background, his writings, his friends and his acquaintances - all lead to that conclusion.

He ran on a platform of change - only he didn't specify what that change would be. Now we know - the change he desires is not for the betterment of the country, but for the destruction of a free American. He wants total dependency on government - only then will the people lose control of their own free will.

He needs to be sent the message that his agenda is unacceptable!! I believe that all Americans, of all sides of the political spectrum, value their freedoms. All sides need to realize that they are on the verge of losing them.

Why does obama want so much control? Does he really think he could run our lives better than we could? I'd love to be able to check his track record on his vast experience, but we'll never know because nothing will ever be released. He's trying to run this country like a community organizer. Oh, wait a minute.......
