Just look at what these blood thirsty, war mongering Democrats had to say on the subject.


YouTube - Democrats before Iraq War started....

No arm twisting going on here.

An excellent book that details Obama's dirty style of Chicago politics is Michelle Malkin's "Culture of Corruption." Even if you are liberal, I'd highly recommend you read it!

That's why he brought in Rham Emmauel. I'm not surprised.

These guys are thugs.....Chicago thugs.

What I'm surprised at are the ones willing to committ suicide for this man.

They just pretend to care about people in other countries because they want strategic footholds, resources, places to send more missionaries, and the old intimidation factor. That's what fearful people do, bully others to create an image.

Meanwhile, they snarl at and label their own people back home for daring to ask for health care. Yeah they care about "freedom" of people on the other side of the globe and about trumped up "threats" in Iraq, but not about the freedom of Americans from a terribly flawed and corrupt health care system, and the freedom to not have to lie in fear of bankruptcy should they become gravely ill or injured, even if they have an insurance policy, in many cases.

So, where were you during the Bush Jr/Cheney, Clinton, Bush Sr and Reagan administrations?

Surely you don't believe those people and their administrations were less corrupt, crooked and dirty; right?

But if you enjoy having high blood pressure and being paranoid. Enjoy.

Powell supported Obama for president (probably as well, simply because he was black), but thier politics are miles apart.

You are right. Obama is not a socialist. He is farther left than that and would probably be categorized as a communist. I am sure that you are ignoring the fact that he was the most far left senator in the senate before becoming president. He has left that "centrist" position and moved even further to the left in a very disturbing fashion.

Paranoid-

1. nationalizing banks
2. nationalizing the auto industry
3. attempting to nationalize the healthcare industry
4. running up the greatest national debt of any president in US history
5. placing over communists in his administration
6. placing attorneys in the justice department who defend terrorists
7. urging union thugs to break up opposition rallies
8. A paranoia and pre-occupation with opposition media such as Fox news, when 90% of the media is in his pocket
9. A 'civilian army", which would function as his "SS"


8 years from now I will be happy, as Obama will be gone for five of those. This man is ruining America for everyone, not just republicans. His unprecedented spending and authoritarian politics, if left unchecked, would have the nation on its knees in eight years. Fortunately, Obama is screwing up to the point that he will usher in a republican senate and congress for his remaining two and a half years, while essentially guaranteeing a republican president in 2012. That I will enjoy!

Am I upset? No way, it's about time this healthcare reform got pushed thru once & for all, it's been going on for decades. Ridiculous, time to get it done. Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

LOL this is pure paranoia and amusing to say the least. Communist yes, he sure is just like Kim Jung IL, Castro and Stalin, yes Obama is a communist. The right and their obsession with Communism is absurd.

People like you were the types complaining about medicare now you probably can't live without it. Can't even see things that benefit you. But stay paranoid, your health will only deteriorate because of it.
