HuffPost Editor Roy Sekoff On Health Care Reform Gaining Momentum (VIDEO)
Commented Oct 08, 2009 at 01:44:28 in Politics
“My apologies, Kent. In a previous reply I misqouted your point on government run health care, (I called it a government takeover). Still, the former includes Medicare, and its recipients, including my parents, love it. Yes, it needs fixing and better funding, yet it works!”
What to Ask at a Town Hall on Health Care
Commented Aug 28, 2009 at 23:34:30 in Politics
“Antonio...
Here's a novel idea for you: DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN! It'll take less then 10 minutes, I promise. Google things like our country's rankings in the world regarding life expectancy, infant moratlity, cost per person, etc. (Hint: If the rankings were like the national hockey league, where almost every team makes the playoffs, we would actually MISS the playoffs because of the rankings).
Also look at neutral sites like politifact
If you want some help, I'm sure many of us would be glad to help.”

“Thanks CTtransplant. Words of encouragement indeed. Like you and millions of others, today I mourn the Senator's passing, (and have learned SO MUCH more about him). Tomorrow, I continue my efforts, meager as they may be, with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment. Thanks again.”

“ComeOnAmerica, every little bit helps! One person alone can indeed make a difference, but many working together can accomplish great things! We are all in this together.
And thanks to you, too! I guess we have encouraged each other!”

Change We Can Believe In: Feelings Toward the Administration by Those Who Elected It
Commented Aug 13, 2009 at 17:56:37 in Politics
“Thanks D2D2 and lynettema! There are so many knee-jerk, 24/7 news cycle comments here that it's sad. As I said in another post, we must keep our eyes on the bigger picture, not worry about how the wind bows a certain way on a certain day. You're both right: When was the last time we had a President who wanted to listen to us?
Like you, I'm with him!”
Like you, I'm with him!”

(My apologies to the real children of America). plus, the Palin-bots also think that the ethics charges are drummedup by those pf us in tje lower 48, when all but one of the charges have been filed by ALASKANS.”

“Outsatnding article---Thanks!! I've read many, many terrific pieces here the last few years, and this is one of the best. I will probably 'pull a Palin' and plagerize some of this as I rant against the righties, lol. Thanks again for your excellent work.”
Love or Lust, Obama and the Fawning Press Need to Get a Room

“And both of you sirs, should realize that our problems--as much as you want to believe otherwise--did not start on January 21, 2009. You need to convert to reality.”

“Its disgusting how the MSM went from being stenographers for the Bush terms, (aside from a few---Isikoff, (sp?) Corn--whatever happened to investigative journalism?), and now all of a sudden the MSM grows a pair? Policies haven't even had time to take root and "journalists" are indeed sounding like the righties..

I challenge Sen. Coburn and his colleagues----If they are so against the big bad government running insurance, will they be willing to give up their government-provided health care and go with a private plan?”

“Right here, and from a domestic policy perspective, bush preferred to reign in government, not use it as a bludgeon. You know, less regulation, lower taxes, less government interference in the market.
I can't recall when he "showed them" (i.e. private companies) who's boss.
Admittedly his foreign policy, in particular iraq was certainly more interventionist, but he didn't exactly tell american companies to get in line or else, which obama has done with banks, auto companies, hedge funds etc.”

“Yes, the head of the Hospital Association is already exposed. The President is playing these corporate shills like a cheap fiddle. He's a shrewd leader. Funny how amny people like you are bailing on the President after less than 4 months.”

“Great post! The only similarity to Bush is that both are called "Mr. President" Aside from that, Obama beats Bush hands down. He's done more substantive things for THIS country than Bush did in 8 years.”

“Selective memory from a rightie; how unusual. When did the TARP and other bail-outs start? Who was President then???????????”

“The president doesn't make the laws and write the checks. Congress does. Go back to school, please.
And let's not forget Obama urging Bush to pass the bailouts.”

“Appease?!?!? It's called DIPLOMACY!! Reagan shook hands with our enemies, and Nixon did, Bush I did it and even Bush II did. Or how about Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam?? You're right on your last point, though. Under President Obama, there IS change we can believe in. Why do you want to be stuck in the past? Come on in...The water's fine.”

“I am one of the "wealthy" Americans you expect to pay for everyone else. You do not participate in my business, you do not assume responsibilities for the risks I take, you were not a part in the creation of my success.
