Texas4Obama's Comments (287)

“Your article ends saying: "... a dream never realized by his liberal predecessors: FDR, Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson."
Clinton should have been added in there too :)”

“So let's get the bill that's in the senate passed NOW, and then next year they can ALSO push the medicare buy-in separately thru reconciliation. How about that?”

“I am going to assume your comment is a joke.
Palin is NOT brilliant - that is what gave you away! LOL”

“I as a fifty year old white woman raised in the north and living in the south for the past thirty-four years find Sarah Palin 'offensive' to our female gender because in 'my mind' our country's first female president should have a high intelligence level, a lifetime of striving for perfection regarding the knowledge of issues foreign & domestic and the workings of our government - in Palin I find nothing that reflects my beliefs. My initial opinion of her was very negative when I heard the hateful speech she gave at the 2008 GOP Convention.- I still to this day believe that she owes Obama, community organizers, and the American public an apology for the hate speech that she spewed that day. I am grateful for the disastrous interviews Palin gave with Katie Couric & Charlie Gibson, and the Tina Fey parodies.
I am saddened that Tim Russert was not still alive last year in order to have Palin on Meet The Press so that he could have interviewed Palin and exposed her as being the MOST UNQUALIFIED VP candidate in U.S. history.”

“I agree. I commented here on HuffPo a day or two ago on another thread. I said that I really believe that Palin came out with her 'sexism' comment regarding the Newsweek cover in order to take the focus off of the fact that she was abusing and disrespecting the U.S. Flag. I have heard this issue mention once or twice on MSNBC but only as a side comment since the focus has been on Palin's sexism comment.
I hope you get the word out to your fellow military friends that even us regular Americans out here find that the way she had the U.S. Flag displayed is disgusting. The photo was taken for a 'runners magazine' and THEY probably did not know the rules of how to display the flag, but The Governor should have known and probably did know!
Palin is going to be at Fort Hood December 4th, I hope the military folks there say something to her about the flag on that cover.
Thank you for your service to our country :)”

“I would like to know when going to Harvard or Yale or any other respectable university to obtain a much sought after degree became a thing of ridicule and is equivalent to having the word ELITE on your forehead? Do the republicans want candidates that are community college graduates?
I want anyone that runs for president to be smarter than I am.
I want my president to be intelligent enough to do the hard job of running this country while I am at home sipping on my rum and coke, I don't want a beer with him.
I want a presidential candidate to be able to answer easy questions like 'What newspapers do you read?", questions like that show what type of intellectual curiosity a person has. If a person reads the Financial Times and the WSJ as opposed to only the Christian Monitor -- it tells a lot about the person! If you are republican and have never heard of the 'Bush Doctrine' then you are too dumb to be president of even the local school board!
I want an educated America even if we have to pay more taxes for better teachers in our school system! It scares me that most voters don't know the candidate stances on the political issues and know don't even understand most of the issues!
If you don't believe me then watch this video of people that are clueless:

“If you have a Walmart in your area you might want to check out their Turkeys. I picked up a 14 pound turkey yesterday for $5.29
I'm going to go back and get one more to put in the freezer, then later I'll probably cut one up (like a chicken) and throw it on the grill and get several meals out of it:
1) BBQ'ed legs and wings
2) Sliced turkey breast meat with gravy and veggies
3) Chopped breast meat with gravy on open faced sandwiches
4) Turkey soup made with the extra pieces and bones

A five dollar turkey can really be a cheap way to eat.

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your 'family' that is what counts in the end :)”

“I am in that number too.
I was banned two months ago because I posted a comment that said: "God Bless OUR President Obama" on her FB page, but I am still listed as a supporter.”

“It's okay for Palin to be the Queen of the internet
because OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT and that is what matters the most!

Obama 2012
Grayson 2016”

“EVERYONE including the republicans will be sick of hearing about her and from her long before the next presidential election.”

“Yep, She's the Kiss of Death.

She's endorsed TX Gov. Perry --- I am looking forward to him losing his seat!”

“Yes MSNBC has covered it - Rachel did last night and tonight, and also Keith last night, Matthews I think so too. I hope this will stay in the news for at least a week!!!”

“Women do NOT have a 'constitutional right to have TAX-PAYER dollars to subsidize insurance coverage that covers abortion'.

A woman HAS a RIGHT to have an abortion - WITH HER OWN MONEY.
No one is taking that RIGHT away.

Prohibiting federal funding of abortions via insurance is NOT restricting the rights of women to have an abortion.

Dig into your OWN pocket and go and have as many as you wish to!”

“I don't care as long as sports articles are NOT on the front page, the politics page, or the media page ;)”

“The cost of an abortion is LESS than most insurance deductibles.
The WOMAN can pay for the abortion 'out of her own pocket'.
We won the 'right to have an abortion'
No one ever promised women that abortions would be paid for by the government, tax-payer dollars, federal subsidies, or insurance companies.

We need to get this HCR bill passed and not delay it over a trumpted up issue that has NOTHING to do with THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN ABORTION.

Stupak affects INSURANCE COVERAGE not the 'rights of women'.”

“The Stupak Amendment has NOTHING to do with 'the RIGHT of a woman to have an abortion'.
Women are still free to take 'their own money' and have as many abortions as they see fit.
Women do NOT have the 'right' to have insurance companies pay for their abortions and then distribute the cost to other insurance policy holder 'IN THE PUBLIC OPTION EXCHANGE'.

This whole dust-up is NOT an abortion rights issue - this is an INSURANCE COVERAGE ISSUE.

Abortions should not be paid for by tax-payer dollars or by federal subsidies.

I am a woman and a democrat - the above is my opinion and I am sticking to it.”

“That front page of that website it too bland.
It does not say anything about 'astroturf' or 'teaparties' or 'teabaggers'”

“Arianna,

Actually the full hour of Hardball (right before the Ed Show) did NOT have anything at all about the balloon-boy. I think Chris Matthews pre-taped his show. I had to go to CNN because MSNBC didn't have anything at all about the boy for that full hour.

Just thought I'd pass that tidbit along to you.

Have a great evening.”

“Oh but you are so wrong...

So far 47 campaign promises KEPT, and 122 campaign promises In the Works
Look on the right side of the page here ---> http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/”

“Biden is exactly where he should be and he should stay.
Obama wants people around him that give differing viewpoints and that is what he is getting.
We don't need a bunch of 'yes' men in the White House.”

“Thanks to EVERYONE that commented :)”

“What time does the speech start?
And will it be on TV?”

“The award wasn't for him being president it was for his good works.

Uniting the people of the world, etc.

Nonproliferation
President Obama was active on the issue of nonproliferation when he was a Senator. He and Senator Lugar crafted a rather unique nonproliferation bill in 2005 and it was signed into law in 2007. What they did was recognize that not only nuclear weapons need to be reigned in, conventional weapons also need to be controlled. Conventional weapons kill many more people than nuclear weapons.”

“Wow that's the first HuffPost Pick that I've seen in months.
I was starting to think they weren't given out anymore!”
