The House Health Care Bill: Read It

The House Health Care Bill: Read It

Commented Oct 29, 2009 at 12:53:55 in Politics

“what? This is fantastic news. Do you really think healthcare is fine the way it is.? No insurancecoverage? Then no help. None. It's awful. Pre-existing conditions....hmph. The insurance companies will do anything they can to convince you your ailment is a pre-existing condition. The REAL death panels ARE the insurance companies. Don't you see that? They clearly decide who lives and who dies.

I give my whole hearted thanks to our President for making this happen. He is a good man and a good president. Take the blinders off and see for yourself.”

“I, for one, don't tend to go out and make a fool of myself as these people did. If you're going to do something, be smart about it. This whole march was stupid because it was based on lies and misinformation. gosh.”

“I'm truly embarrassed. I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA and I NEVER for one moment thought Barack was born in a country other than the U.S.

How stupid.”

“What do you expect? These people believe what they want to believe, and being provided fodder, grasp it as a life saver. They have no facts, just a desire to impose their will on others. NOT the American Way.”

“This makes sense. I thought the same thing. The 90's were not that long ago. I don't see how Obama has had any opportunity so far to fix things because of all the friction coming from the GOP. In my eyes, it takes a lot of nerve to blame him for previous administrations' mistakes. Shameful.”

“Thank you!! I'm in total agreement.

I say we give our President a little more than 5 weeks to fix everything. My Gosh!
People are so ridiculous. Every Republican in the nation it seems is on Huffpo right now
bashing him. I say "Grow Up Please!" and let the man do his job. If you think you
can do so much better, do it yourselves. Let's see you get elected and then fix
all the problems Republicans created in 5 weeks. Let's see it happen.”

Obama Leaves Door Open To Investigating Bush, But Wants To "Look Forward"

Commented Jan 11, 2009 at 12:19:40 in Politics

“I have been an Obama supporter for years and am very happy to see him as our next president...BUT...why on earth is he talking about "looking forward." To me, that means that the past regressions of the Bush administration will go unanswered for. That is NOT what I bargained for. I will be watching this president closely to see what goes down regarding this issue. I am greatly disappointed with his comments here.”

“I know from being a staunch Obama supporter for a couple of years now that he would not support this bailout with no accountability. All I can go by is what he says. He has always said we need more transparency in government. That, to me, indicates that he is in favor of having some type of regulation on this bailout money. I don't know what he's said in his meetings. Do you?”

“Yes, but OBAMA is not in office yet. There is nothing he, personally, can do to regulate this. I'm SURE he wanted regulation. Of course. Now that it's not being regulated (surprise, surprise), there is nothing he can do on his own. He's not President yet. Maybe when he's sworn in there will be much more he can get accomplished with this. Shameful. Just shameful. And it's worthless to blame this on Obama. Gosh.”

“Did he state that he wanted regulation? If so, how? There is plenty that he could do, starting with having daily press meetings to present his ideas re/ regulation and accountability.......if he has them. There is no one in Washington that should get a free pass on this issue.”

“You know, it's actions like these that lead me to believe that the U.S. will completely economically collapse. The reasons: Money grubbing, egotistical, greedy Corporate America.

They took taxpayers dollars and absolutely REFUSE to tell us what it's being used for. Why should I be surprised?”

“It's SO easy to attack a whole region in one swoop. So Easy. Let me tell you, NOT ALL OF THE SOUTH IS RACIST. NOT ALL OF THE SOUTH IS IGNORANT - and YOUR Pres. Elect is mine also.

I'm a 48 year old white single mom who has supported our President Elect for a couple of years now. I was born and raised in Atlanta, but my ancestors came from Italy. The problem in the South is with the families that have been here in the South since the Confederacy. The racism goes back for generations. People are raised on it. It's very, very sad and so bad. I just don't like being included in comments like this. Not at all!”
