George W. Bush Institute To Co-Produce Public Television Show "Ideas In Action"
Commented Dec 23, 2009 at 11:13:22 in Media
“With Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric and Chris Matthews, all either bending over or on their knees for Obama, you complain about Fox news? Wow! The liberal press voted Obama into office and run interference for the progessive peoples party in each and every show. Refreshing to hear some positive news on George Bush.
Funny how the liberal press forgets that the democrats voted for the Iraq war, no child left behind and the prescription drug program, yet the liberals want to blame all on Bush. Such honesty and integrity in the peoples party. Well this economy, the war and the health plan all are owned by Obama and the progressives. We will see how that turns out for them. Whistle past the graveyard you guys.”

“No, solutions and ideas were offered, yet none were taken because the progressives knew how to reward the lobbyists, insurance companies, banks, auto companies etc.
Of course your "annointed one" , the one "sent from God" promised no lobbyists, change coming to washington and jobs through his big spending "stimulas" bill. Soooo how is that working out for you?”

“Enough with the liberals bashing, simp. If Barney Frank is liberal I'll eat this twizzler that fell on the floor. Barney is the same cut as Obama a good hearted Democrate but when it comes to actual legislation they compromise their tucas off to get something done that the banks, republicants, and corporate interests will allow.
He is far to pragmatic to be a liberal, and if you call the deregulation he supported over the past three decades, giving banks, corporate lobbyists, neocons and right wing loonies exactly what they wanted to take the dow from 776 to 10,000 then I need to buy you a dictionary.”

Health Insurance Company Stocks "On Fire" As Reform Bill Is Weakened

“Another misleading article with a picture of Blue Cross Blue Shield at the top. Blue Cross Blue Shield is a non profit association. They are not selling stock on the open market. How very cheap, misleading and effectively a lie.”

“Amazing how these comedians can only be funny at someone else's expense. That's true comedy. That's true intellect. Wanda sure is funny when she takes the low road. Her parant's must be proud. She will be remembered as one of the true comedians.”

“Obama will sign anything that is called a "Health Bill"! He will then take credit for any good that comes out of it and blame others if any bad comes from it. Obama stood back knowing he could take credit for the good and yet distance himself from any bad. Remember he voted "present" when he was in the state legislature. No voting yes or no, just present.
You voted for change and Obama will change according to which way the wind blows. But thats the change that was voted for!”

Bush Deficit Hurting Obama: Reports

Bush Deficit Hurting Obama: Reports
Commented Dec 10, 2009 at 16:42:47 in Politics
“Based on the comments from the Annointed One, the tarp program started by Bush worked and came in "under budget". The same cannot be said for Obama's "stimulas" program that produced or saved 10,000 jobs. The stimulas program did create jobs in unknown counties and paid Hillary Clinton's friends millions of dollars. Did I hear that unemployment went to 10% +, even thought the stimulas program was for "shovel ready jobs" and going to save the infrastructure? But I thought the stimulas would keep unemployment at no more than 8% based on what the Annointed One promised? What about that earmark bill for 800 billion after Obama promised "no earmarks". Gee, the Annointed One pormised change coming to Washington and we got Geithner and almost the lobbyist Daschle.
But hey, it rained today and it was Bush's fault. The Gator's lost last weekend and you know, that was Bush's fault too. Those nasty republicans.”

“Who is the Annointed One, ceindependence? If it is sarcasm you are about, you sure know how to turn off people from listening to your views unless they already agree with what you are saying. I stopped reading after the first line. You could call him Pres. Obama or the President but you apparently do not respect either Mr. Obama or the Office of President. So as an alternative, you could call him simply, " Obama". You are welcome to disagree with Obama all you wish, but basic manners in a public forum would bring more credit on to you as a person and your views. This is not an elementary school playground. What we need in the pushing and shoving marketplace of ideas is grownups. Try to be one.”

Where did all that federal funding go to fix this mess? Wasted, of course. The place is still a disaster area. Bush promised the people of NOLA that he wouldn't quit until he finished the job.

Aetna Forcing 600,000-Plus To Lose Coverage In Effort To Raise Profits
Commented Dec 05, 2009 at 00:09:35 in Business
“Great that means the public option and the government will be successful like "the stimulas bill" that created jobs and the post office that cannot break even. I'm sure the government will never raise their rates.”
oldngrumpy replied on Dec 05, 2009 at 12:18:12
“Medicare operates with a 2-3% overhead. That sure beats the 30+% of the insurance companies, much of which is spent denying legitimate claims. Costs may very well go up under a government plan, as they certainly will under the status quo. Higher costs will mean higher taxes, which can be directed to those most able to afford them instead of denying life saving care to those who can't. This is about a lot more than just reducing cost. This is a moral issue that may well define our society for the next few decades. I believe we are better than we are presently displaying to the world.”
Aquadog replied on Dec 05, 2009 at 02:44:05
“Take a look at the jobless numbers that were posted today before you make such an ig*norant statement. The stimulus is working - keep up. As for the post office breaking even, ever heard of e-mail? Somentimes things just outgrow their usefulness. Of course the government will raise rates when needed but they are not after large profits like the insurance companies.”

Obama's Afghanistan Decision: 34,000 More Troops And An Exit Strategy, Reports Say

“Bush and Rumsfield knew there was no winning in Afganistan other than killing the taliban and osama. Well they killed all that did not flee to Pakistan and unless we invade there is not much that can be done. Obama ran on persuing the Afganistan war and blaming Bush. He was ignorant and boxed himself in on persuing the Afganistan war. Now he is there and doesn't know what to do. So much for experience as a senator and acorn organizer. Now he talked it up and has to live with it. The problem is we will sacrifice our young soldiers and many many dollars for his big talk prior to the election. So progressive and so ignorant and he does not know what to do.
So when all else fails, he will blame Bush. That's progressive!”
