Lets see, it's been 16 or so months since the election. A fringe group of republican covert racist have spawned a movement disguised as a "tax and freedom" movement calling themselves the teaparty have been screaming lunacy for months, Republicans in congress have outwardly opposed his reform measures before he presents them, Palin and Bachman have been calling him a "gangster", McCain still wants to bomb Iran, the Foxnews blowhards have been spewing more hate and lies than a Mississippi Klan rally in the 50's, and various media outlets had pronounced his Presidency dead...

Today, 50% of Americans approve of Obama. He won with 53%. Healthcare Reform is law, Financial Reform will be law, Income taxes are lower for 95% of Americans, we're on schedule to get out of Iraq, thrwarted several major terror attempts, blew up some pirates, saved GM, bailouts being paid back, economy improving etc.

Why do republicans insist on pronouncing Obama's demise? Theywent bat crazy after the Palin speech when McCain went up by 10 points but lost, were grinning from ear to ear when Scott Brown got elected but healthcare still past and now republicans are proclaiming victory in November before one vote is cast. When will you all learn to shut your traps and do your jobs.

Report: Health overhaul will increase tab - Health care reform- msnbc.com

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law will increase the nation's health care tab instead of bringing costs down, government economic forecasters concluded Thursday in a sobering assessment of the sweeping legislation.

A report by economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department said the health care remake will achieve Obama's aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million Americans to the coverage rolls.

But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president's twin goal of controlling runaway costs. It also warned that Medicare cuts may be unrealistic and unsustainable, driving about 15 percent of hospitals into the red and "possibly jeopardizing access" to care for seniors.

Yeah, I don't watch Foxopinionnews..I watch real news. People said exactly what you say before the bill was even written. It's par for the republican course.

You think the Republicans are crazy now? Just wait until Obama wins reelection by a healthy margin. Their last brain cell will pop.
