Those idiots that voted him in office are the same ones who are bashing & whining against Obama.

I guess they held in their regret of voting for such an 8-year failure & now they're trying to blame Obama for everything.

Bush tried to cover up the failures during his term by blinding Americans with fear.
Now that everything is out in the open, everyone wants to point & blame Obama.

I don't expect repayment for providing for my own health care. It's when people like BO expect me to provide other people's healthcare that I begin saying where's my reimbursement.

If Canada, England and France are more to your liking, we have this thing called airliners; they depart to those locations virtually everyday.

How about the other 7 months?

There's really no excuse at all. If this is a hit job on Obama, you are revealing yourself to be far too uneducated on the subject to hold an opinion.

If this is intended to praise Obama, you are revealing yourself to be far too uneducated on the subject to hold an opinion.
I guess neither of those last sentences sound like they come from some form of elitist, but anyone who is left leaning is elitist in my opinion.

I see that you failed to see any kind of attempt to use fear to get those bills passed that we would be dead without. Stimulus, healthcare, omnibus etc. He did say over and over that we would be so much worse off without them, didn't he? I saw use of fear all that time.

I have frequented the airlines.I can't gain citizenship in these countries and if I wasn't married who knows.Now back to the point.You will have a choice of a government plan or private insurance through an employer.At the end of the day,you will not notice a difference.I read the breakdown which was about 30 pages of jargon.

Why isn't "NEITHER" an option?

Bush and Obama are about the same.

Obama can actually speak English. He shows respect to others through his words. At least he has manners.

Give me a break.He tried to say that it was beneficial not create fear. Bush cornered the market on that with his WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. That didn't exist! All presidents though do state to the public what they perceive to be in the publics best interest.The only difference is that Obama cares,Bush obviously didn't!
