I love Obama

Say what you want about President Obama, he's doing exactly what he said he'd do.....change America.   I love a politician who will stick to his convictions no matter who it upsets.  Maybe the healthcare package is not correct.  To do nothing at all is irresponsible.  Funny you don't see much coming out of the Republician Party except condemnation and negativism.  They don't really offer any solutions to the problems.  I really don't care who is in there, as long as Bush is gone.

    " Very good TC. You are not confused and you spesak the truth. However, you must understand the people in these forums do not want sane discussions. They would rather whine and complain about what's wrong with the system and never offer solutions. The nation spoke in November. It is now time to work together to create a strong nation or China will own it. "

    " TC let's forget about Bush. He will go down in history as a bumbling president who went out of office not closing the Iraq war he declared a victory two weeks after it started. Let's concentrate of Obama who couldn't even run a corner grocery store and now he's leading the freeworld. Isn't America the greatest place on earth? For me trusting and believing in Obama would be like trusting the oil companies in not raising gasoline prices. It's just not soemthing a prudent and reasonable man would even consider. Truth be known I'm not alone. "

    " Still waiting on an answer as to why the Congress and especially the president won't be included in the new system they are tooting as being so great. If it's so good for us ,why not for them also . I'd like an honest answer ,no spin. "

    " Obama didn't create welfare, medicare, or social security. All of which are nearly broke. So how can you honestly say that he is the cause of the changes that are necessary? He's only trying to fix it. Right or wrong, he's trying. What did Bush do during his term? Increase the deficit, put us in a useless war, started the S&L bailout (not Obama), and having our next generations paying the Chinese until they die. I'll take Obama any day over Bush. "

    " I AGREE SOME THINGS IN OBAMA'S PLAN NEED TO BE REVISED. However what I think I 'm wittnessing on this forum is nothing other than sheer ignorance. People who cannot be civil and educated enough to disagree on the issues yet use wisdom to reconize that the country has chosen to take a step in a different direction. Obama is not your average Joe and I hope you don't think he graduated from Harvard University being such. Hold him accountable for the issues you disagree on. But lets be smart and leave hate out of the equation! "

    " If you actually read the health care bill (which I have) you might not be so happy to know that there is a page on how the government will be able to access your bank account for medical expenses at THEIR discretion, how there will be a panel of "experts" to tell you whether or not you are "worth" receiving treatment, and employees who don't force this plan on their workers will be taxed up to 8% of their payroll until they do... good luck getting raises and jobs. You should read it... there's MUCH MUCH more. "

    " To the person posting we haven't dealt with segragation in Louisiana I think you've got it all wrong. The people here have dealt with segragation and intergration and if you'd wake up you would see we're even more advanced in minority rights than the majority of the other states. We have Eastern Indiana American as our governor. I believe Louisiana has turned the corner on minority hatred. The problem is some minorities have failed to stop the hatred and are resentful they exist on welfare assistance. Stop the hate. Get a job and love-life. "

    " I have to say there must be some very pressing issues more overwhelming than the health care non-issue that's being tossed about in Congress like floppy pizza dough. This is a good cover up issue. How about it's made us forget about the billions upon billions, upon billions we've spent to bail out big corporate criminals and not one of them has seen the back side of a jail door. I'd say it's very interesting how easy it is to get the American people side tracked. Wasn't Eric Holder part of the criminal enterprize called Fannie Mae? Now-he's-the-US-Attorney-General.--We-are-all-so-gullible. "

    Sell your computer. That will pay a little toward a community college. Get rid of you cell phone. That will pay a little more. Stop buying $90 sneakers that last no longer than $12 Walmart shoes.

Louisiana is so far low in today's society because we have never dealt with segregation. "

That is if you were still fortunate enough to still be alive. Bush did what he needed to do despite what you think. Ungrateful people. "

    By the way, the comments on this forum or reflective of a large portion of our population. Of course Hussein Obama is listening. He is just trying to get away with it so that we can forget about it before the next election. "

    " Medicare is going broke. Obama’s solution is to take billions of dollars out of the Medicare budget and use it to support his health care plan. Is this logical? How can there not be rationing with those cuts?

    Obama said spending over a trillion dollars during the next ten years on health care is essential to economy recovery. Is that logical?

    Obama said doctors perform unnecessary test for fear of malpractice lawsuits yet he won’t introduce tort reform. Is that logical? "

    " Well, I've had more than enough of the Obama fixes and changes. At least when Bush was in there we didn't have to fear these kinds of issues. Yea, he made some poor choices in the end but for the most part he was right on target. This obama character is out of his mind. I'm happy for your 6 figures and I hope that doesn't change for you. For many, it has already, particularly here in the oilfield country. "

    In my opinion, socialized medicine in America will be WORSE because of the inherent bureaucracy. Look at FEMA, AMTRAK, the post office, etc.
    If this passes, independent insurers will be squeezed out. Unless you're a politician (with insurance), you will have no say-so in your health decision making. "

You right-wing extremists make me sick. By the way I'm a registered Republican on a 6 ifgure salary. I've had enough of the Bush fixes. "

    " I'd love Obama too,if he and the hypicrite congress would have the same plan for health care they're trying to shove down our throats. If it's so good why are they excluded? Not one of the bunch will ever answer to that one. Obama and the Dumbacrats really believe the rest of the citizens can't see through them for what they are. Its a simple question. Why aren't they going to be apart of this health care plan,but want us on it? No spin ,just a straight answer. Love to see "Good Morning America" ask this question to OBAMA "

    " Must be another recipient of entitlements.
    Obama has done nothing he said he was going to do. If you call change taxation into oblivion, then that;s the only change we can count on. This guy has done nothing. I can see your Democatic party affiliation has blinded your vision into beleving Obama has done a good job. See me at the end of his 4 year term, if he doesn't resign first. This job is way more than he bargained for. Oh let's not forget Michelle is eating artichokes and smoked salmon for snacks. "
