“you are all a bunch of self-righteous, self important prigs. How about having a little compassion for the MEU that is going to be on the ground in Afghanistan dodging IED and trying not to freeze their butts off along with their families. Some Christmas that will be!

you all act like this decision will actually effect any of you while you sit in the warm comfort of your home typing away about that which you know little.

When the bombs start falling again you will all be the first to say "We didn't Obama protect us from this"”

“The foolish optimism is not nearly enough to pull us out of this hole. I think its time to get Government spending into things that will help the economy grow. And this means helping people who are employed keep more of what they make so that they feel rich enough to spend it.

I just don't see how the US can continue to fund these foreign wars. Its destroying our future. It is time for Europe to realize that they are much closer and much more exposed to Muslim Extremism than the US is. We need to get Europe to support Europe's defense.

You had the Madrid bombings, the London bombings, the French riots.”

“Actually, Obama is one of the scariest presidents in recent history. He states in his CNN interview, that he doesn't base his decisions on whether or not they will help him with re-electability but rather on whether they are in his mind, the right decision under the circumstances.

In short, Obama is a crusader! I don't think we have had a true crusader as an effective president since FDR.

The thought of a President who wants to do what HE THINKS is right, regardless of whether that decision is in the best interest of his reelection is abhorrent to the American people. We expect our politicians to mere creature of self-interest. In some ways, you can argue that our national fabric is dependent on it.

Where is the voice of the people if Obama is going to do what HE THINKS is right even if it means we fire him in four years?

Fortunately, with short 4 year terms and a 2 year term limit, our Constitution protects us from long term exposure to a crusader President.”

“You didn't finish it.....Obama makes the right decision for the circumstances and what he thinks... BASED ON THE FACTS AND EVIDENCE available.

Hmmm, I can't conceive of a person with a rational brain wanting our leader to act any other way. Let's see, if tea-baggers were Obama's majority base he should make decisions based on the earth is flat??”

MidwestHeart replied on Nov 19, 2009 at 09:00:27

“Your argument feels twisted to me. Obama was elected by the majority of the people. When he says he is not working for re-election he is talking to the people, his Summertime Soldiers, who supported him during the election (time of hope and dreams) and are now impatient with the pace of change (please do the research and see all that he has done really). He is not talking to his detractors, he is talking to those who elected him and are upset that he has not been more like Bush who rushed in where angels feared to tread. Obama very way of operating, taking his time, listening to all the arguments and viewpoints and then making a decision IS change. Change is right there to see if we look below the headlines.”

“All nations have the right to defend themselves from attacks. All nations have the obligation to prevent their soil from being used as a base to stage attacks against other nations. All nations have the obligtaion to control all of their territory and impose the rule of law.

When a national government fails in these obligations under international law, other nations have the right to step in to defend themselves.

Both Afghanistan and Pakistan have governments that failed in the past to uphold their obligations under international law.”

“You know in hindsight, I think the ENTIRE COUNTRY should be greatful Bush took as much vacation as he did. I shudder to think of the amount of damage he would have done to this country if he had the work ethic of Obama.

Remember that Republicans get elected to president with the intention of not doing anything once they roll back and gains made by progressives.”

“I live in NJ. and I'm so sick sick sick of my Federal Tax money being paid out in WELFARE to these states who are so backwards socially, economically, politically, education, infrastructure and just about every other demographic you can imagine. These states would have the economies of Poland or Slovakia if their economies weren't subsidized by my tax money.

What I'm talking about is how the Fed Government spreads the wealth around. For every dollar of Federal Taxes paid from NJ in 2005, the Fed only spent 61 cents in NJ! This makes NJ the biggest WELFARE PAYER in the country.

Alaska receives $1.83 back from the Fed per dollar paid making Alaska one of the biggest welfare states. Utah received $1.07. What is amazing is that all the states that Voted McCain, except for Texas are WELFARE STATES. http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/266.html. My challenge to these welfare states is to PAY ME BACK. You guys don't even pay your own fair share and you want to RANT about cutting spending and taxes?”

“Corzine was most definately a bad candidate. He ran 100% negative campaign. You can do that if people like you all ready but the idea that you can win when you are universally unpopular by making the other guy even more unpopular is pretty stupid from such a smart guy.

Corzine need to connect with the electorate by saying look, if things aren't great, they would have been much worse if I had not done this, this, this and this.

I don't think intelligent people really believe that Christi, facing an $8 billion budget deficit, is going to be able to do anything fundamentally different. They just weren't willing to rehire a jerk for another 4 years.

Something about the water in Trenton turns the politicians into JERKS.”

Has the Military Mission in Afghanistan Become Lost?

“There comes a time when we need to look at our collective national soul and accept that we cannot fix all of the worlds problems. US national security does not require a functioning, stable, corruption free Afgan government. All we need to do is ensure that Afghanistan is not a safe harbor for terrorists. I'd rather we used a couple of squadrons of Hellfire equipped Predators than put our troops in danger.”

“1 year ago, Russia was cutting off gas to the EU, they were going to war with their neighbors. Today, Russia is cooperating with the US on Nuclear disarmament, and is on the record saying that Iran will face more sanctions if it does not meet international demands.

For that 180 degree change alone Pres. Obama deserves most of the credit. (yeah I'm sure falling crude prices helped)”

“Are we fooling ourselves? There really isn't a tangible change. The votes were cast in Feb. Is it fair to say that the Nobel committee fell for Obama's promises of change?

I'm not saying they were empty promises...

I'm proud of my country winning the Nobel Peace Prize...

But I think we all know (even the biggest ObamaHeads have to agree) that this award was more deserving of someone who did more to make a tangible and definite change.

If you really don't believe that, than I think you've lost the point of what winning an award is worth. Yes, I know you've watched the video and apparently Nobel's will helped support this choice... but I still can't help but believe that this was premature.”

“I'm sick of people saying Obama has yet to accomplish anything. I'm sure that everyone in NJ where I live who got over a $1.50 per hour raise would disagree. Just because his to-do list gets 2 items longer for every item he checks off doesn't mean nothing is accomplished.

This isn't a Prime Time Drama where things get wrapped up in an hour.

If you think Obama isn't accomplishing things fast enough, why don't you take a look in the mirror and ask the person you see if you could be doing more to help him!?! Have you done anything more than bitch to your friends on Facebook that nothing ever changes?”

“I'm very disappointed that the President is down playing the public option.

WHY doesn't the middle class realize that private for profit "health insurance" is just one more scam the elite use to transfer wealth from the middle class upward to the wealthy?

Just where do you think those profits end up? I'll tell you, they end up in the pockets of rich executives and share holders. Meanwhile, all the premium payers get is bad service, denial of claims, increases in rates and decreases in coverages.

I'm just sick of the middle class defending the ways they get robbed and exploited by the rich. Trust me, the RICH DON'T NEED OUR HELP, THEY CAN LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES.”

“The F-22 program began in the 1980s it is a cold war weapons system that has little relevance in the modern world. If buying less F-22s frees up more money for the JSF program than even better.

In the current integrated economy, a war with China is a loss before it starts. Russian capabilities are so behind that the F-22 would have no impact on a conflict with them.

The best defense against a resurgent Russia is to get our economy OFF OF oil.”

“It sounds glib to to be really correct, Republicans FEAR. They fear change, progress, loss of social standing, loss of economic standing. The biggest fear republicans have is loosing the ability to claim moral superiority over others.

Poor Palin, She was brought down by her children. If she wants to start thinking though and reconsidering, I'm willing to put the past...in the past.

I'm sure that she is learning that the more you try to control something the more you loose control. She has a infant with downs AND a grandchild that is being raised by her single teen daughter. I'm sure she has lots of opportunity to rethink things.

Perception does equal reality but even a blind man/woman can smell fire.”

Three Reasons We Need an Economic Wake Up Call

“As it is now, American's are just too afraid of change to really entertain the kind of programs we need to make things better.

Everyone gushes about Capitalism...without giving any acknowledgment to the skeletons in the closet.

Capitalism is just as much about big companies that use their monopolistic power to undercut small town pharmacist's prices, driving them out of business then raising prices when they are the only show in town.

Capitalism comes down hard on the average entrepreneur who may have a new idea that threatens how the big boys do business. and on inventors who have their ideas stolen instead of bought.

Capitalism means that all the seinor citizens who had some stock in GM lost everything while the overly compensated executives and the bankers got more than their fair share.

Capitalism is a celebration of greed. We need a system that is a celebration of the community.”
