“40 years ago they said they'd expand medicare to more people. I rest my case.
Also, how dare they compare this to a medicare win when there's no Public Option. Shameful liars.”

“I would say how dare republicans even claim to be worried about medicare!! When it was passed only 16 republicans voted for it and they have been trying to kill it ever since. All of a sudden they want to be seen as protectors of a system they voted against.”

And if you think of it, we shouldn't have too. Because we out number lobbyists, simply casting your vote on an issue or for a candidate should suffice. But with the dumbing down of education and that includes understanding our political process, it didn't take much to divide the nation while lobbyists swoop in.
Having more people than lobbyists; herding all those cats into the same stable to make the number count is another. But then, "We are the one's we've been waiting for...."”

“I work on a State web site and the management is handled at the agency level. I don't think that's a good idea, as often people work work for an agency do not understand the Web and how it should be used. This causes many web sites to fall out of date and not be used to their full potential.
The Web should be managed from the top down and maintained at a high level. Web developers and designers should report to a Web team, and not their agency manager, who often blocks info and progress.”

The Insurance Industry's Lethal Bottom Line -- and a Solution From Sens. Franken and Rockefeller
Commented Dec 07, 2009 at 18:03:58 in Politics
“Wendell, thank you so much for pointing this out and explaining it to us. Senator Franken sure is making an impact as a junior Senator.
I can't wait for your next article on the current legislation and the tricks they are using to kill the public option. Now, what I see, is private insurance trying to turn themselves into a public option to get that funding dollar. Do I trust them to run it in an ethical manner? That's another story. Need your input! :)”

But it's not the strategy we expected. If only he could tell us what he's thinking without revealing his position to the enemy. Someone mentioned that maybe he's afraid for his life, because Kennedy was shot during a battle for healthcare reform.
It just opens my eyes to what I've allowed to happen by not paying attention. If Obama is unable to fix what needs fixing, at least we can credit him for bringing them starkly to our attention.
I love President Obama, and I hope he can free himselves from those ties that bind him.”

“Kennedy was not shot trying to reform health care, he was shot for abandoning the cuba "cold war type" offensive after the bay of pigs, and not going full steam into vietnam, also he was extolling civil rights for blacks, and shortly afterward MLK was shot and killed in Memphis. Time for a refresher course on your history lessons.”

“Yes, like what you said here, and ending with the fact that he is indeed threatened all the time. Recently, I heard the fact that his life has been threatened some 400 times more than Pres. John F. Kennedy. He is our future; he is doing a lot, fast; he, himself, said in his last address, that the date 2010 was the deadline year for making many of the moves he took on early! I agree: I believe in him, we all need to support him, our country, our soldiers, our decisions as a nation, please, for God's sake, support health care reform, and let's do it while we can all live to witness history, again, in the making. Peace.”

“Obama has chosen not to fix but to legitimize and institutionalize all of the crimes committed by the previous administration.
No one forced him to do that. He did it because he wanted to associate himself with those crimes and continue to commit them.”

“I don't know about Obama revealing anything of much substance. There is a story from a fellow Harvard law student who once told of discussion with a number of other students over some issue of law--serious banter it seemed.

“Not to be a nudge (doing a personal brain fart check here), but do you mean Eliot Spitzer? Just making sure I haven't missed somebody. The big problem is that people are missing the boat on this one. The issue is not auditing the Fed. The issue is ABOLISHING the Fed. Get rid of it. Why people stand for 12 PRIVATE banks controlling our money supply (which is nothing more than IOUs the Federal Government OWES THE FED), is beyond me. Why letting a cadre of secretive people to control interest rates at their whim (The Federal Open Market Committee) is also beyond me. I have to think the reason people stand for it is that they just don't know what it is. Finally...
