Oh please not the race crap again. The LEADER of the freakin GOP IS BLACK!!

I dislike Obama's POLICIES I could give a crap if he is black, green or purple. He is NOT focused, he IS the president and NEEDS to be. Focus on the number 1 issue then the others. If people have jobs more have health-care, wake up and realize that.Make all the excuses you want but anyone with a brain can see the man has no clue what the hell he is doing, he is being lead around by the balls by Reid and witch woman and I don't mean Michelle.

Think.

Oh please get people jobs and they WILL work. I am not taking about terminally ill people here. I would guess that 98% of those that have lost their jobs are perfectly fine to go to work if there were jobs. Jobs = health-care for many of the uninsured right now. Cart and horse thing ya know.

Please don't use statments like, "Make all the excuses you want but anyone with a brain can see the man has no clue what the hell he is doing". That is a very easy cop out to try to win an argument. If you could please tell me how the current job market is all Obama's fault. If anything we should be after Greenspan the most in my opinion. A absolute moron allowing deregulation (Oh My God, regulation is socialisty) in the 90s to create this downfall produced by pure and simple greed that a 100% capiltalistic market will allow.

My response was in regards to another poster who said "Anyone with a brain should be able to see that!" Please disregard that part if it bothers you.

I did not say the economy was his fault I said he should be focusing on it.

Best.
Actually, the point that you seem (erroneously) to be trying to make is that health care will magically produce jobs. Simple question, how? With all the unemployed, with no income, how is health care going to be paid for? If you are healthy and still not working, the system will still not be paid for.

As to your last statement, it figures. When a liberal cannot defend his stance, he declares "victory" and runs.

The point is, your stance is unsupportable.

Bye bye.

Actually, I did not say that Health care would produce jobs.
All I was quoting in my response is that health care is also an important issue, as Obama is making it right now just as he promised. This was in response to "Cyber Queen's" post, listed below, that stated the health-care issue was not important right now.
Please do not try to re-word my posts just to get the last word.
