LIES, LIES AND MORE DAMN LIES - It sounded to me like he told us to "Kiss Off" they were going to do it their way despite what the American People Wanted.

The moment of truth certainly was Joe Wilson... at least he has the intestinal gumption to actually say something... especially speaking from his heart and from the people. Socialism is gravitating into the US of A and our freedoms are in the balance. People wake up... a great number of us saw this coming thanks to FOX News... Wright, Ayers, Jones, Reid, Pelosi, Clinton and so many others... This country was founded because of the oppression that they feared from Europe and escaped government... fought to become our own nation... Republicans freed the slaves and united the country. Now more than ever I feel as though all of us are being forced to go socialism... is a revolt pending?

I think BHO is a liar and will say or do anything to get what he wants. He did not give any specifics just more rhetoric! He needs to go and so do the Czars. I am sick of all this.

Im not deaf and really dont appreciate someone, and yes even Obama telling me we need to stop complaining and get onboard, in not so many words... Does he really think that a weak attempt to apply psychology to adults will work as it does with his kids? The fact remains that many of us dont feel obligated to purchase health insurance, nor do we feel obligated to purchase health care for others. This is especially true when someone as I, who has lived outside the USA for nearly 25 years looking in and thinking, wow I took all the risks and hard jobs to get ahead, just to turn over my money to those who lived irresponsibly. Im not saying that fits everyone but it sure fits ALOT of Americans living beyond their means! I was in the 33% tax bracket last year and I drive a Suzuki Swift...Ive seen folks (I like to refer to as posers) in the 0% tax bracket driving brand new $60,000 SUVs with $10,000 rims AND have numerous kids. Talking to a liberal co-worker who is fully supportive of Obama because he is half black and from his home Chicago moreso than anything else...Its sad that many blacks still cannot see beyond race. He rationalizes the bailout of all these poor overspenders and non family planners as being "human nature." They cant help it ? All Im saying is that I dont see anything attached to this proposal that says ok lets look at your spending habits FIRST before we take away and give you this money from the "rich" people. If someone can help me rationalize this, please do. I cant seem to agree no matter what angle Im approaching from. But then again when I grew up,I was beaten in inner city schools for being a white minority, never received any minority preferences or financial support, never found myself on the affirmative side of affirmative action, but Im still labeled as a racist when I dont support a socialist just because he is half black. Blacks in America need to get past the race excuse and realize that while America is still 65% white, elected a half black (African) president. All the "monorities" in the USA added together right now still only equals about 35%, soooo obviously most Americans look beyond race, but if your one of the people who voted for Obama only because he is black and because you feel blacks deserve a break, I would argue that blacks have been getting breaks that I could not get for at least 30 years now. We now have to look forward to the next election to get a conservative back into the white house. We cannot accept this regime to operate in the white house for another term continuing to force socialists programs down our throats and ruin the USA. Yes, "socialism" has apparently become the new tabu word. I could care less. No one wants to call the Obama administration proposals and programs what they are because the word is negative. As far as Im concerned if it looks like shite, smells like shite, and tastes like shite, then its shite. Socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism socialism...All I hear whenever I hear Obamas mouth open. Well ok I hear the weak attempts at reprimanding us for not supporting his doomed to fail initiatives. btw, did anyone track how much money it cost us for the cash for clunkers program? I heard it was about 2 billion dollars vs the savings of about 200K? I guess no one will ever accuse dems as capitalists with this kind of business sense. So here we are on the verge of applying the same business practice to a program much larger. Im going to just go throw a couple thousand dollars in the toilet now and let the IRS know I already contributed to the program.

Mr. Godden:
I totally agree with you. I've spent the last 30-40 years watching marxism and socialism programs begin to proliferate and now they have become the norm. I'm tired of sitting in the back of the subway with my head down while gangbangers and other miscreants terrorize society and threaten our way of life.
The American people lost the cold war. The minorities , with help from elected officials from urban polling places took our lack of action as a sign of consent. While we were working 60+ hours a week and trying to put our kids in good schools, they were demonstrating against the war, banning world hunger, importing Russian and Cuban, Kenyon, Ethiopian, Algerian dicsidents to our country and giving them a right to vote.They ousted the McCarthies, the MacCarthers and the Nixons and the Reagans and began to create a social structure that did not honor hard work This was not done with bullets and rockets but with integration, cross town bussing, food stamps, racial preference hiring quotas, diversity, political correctness , corrupt educators, faulty immigration policies, big profitable law suits against all privately owned business , slanted and inaccurate reporting of historical events on TV and in movies by the marxist/socialist hollywood elite, disoloution of the family unit, removal of God from schools, liberal drug laws, gay rights, animal rights, multiple language options in schools and on ballots and any other method imaginable to destroy or erode the moral fiber of this nation. Sadly missing from our daily lives are the words...."One nation under God,indivisible with liberty and justice for all." For now, lets hope that the 60-70% of us that still have some constitutional rights use the free speech power we still have have to rally against the Boxers, Fiensteins, Emanuels and Pelosis , Bidens and Obamas to express ourselves in a way that they can understand. God Bless America. Semper Fi.

As always, the anointed one missed the big picture. He completely ignored damage caps on med malpractice suits because he has the support of the plaintiff attorneys like John Edwards and other fat cats who helped put him in office. His lie about illegal immigrants was accidently partly true. The wetbacks don't need heath care, Medicare is free and has paid for thousands of border brats. Start thinking of black powder as a deterrent to black power.
