“Not sure why people here aren't happy with Obama? This is what he said he was going to do, he never said he was getting out of Afgan. He always said that Bush took his eye off of the real war and that he wouldn't make the same mistake so as i see it Obama is all for the was in Afgan just needs to spin it to go over better so i guess tonight will be it ,His all important speech. So don't be made at the prez for not flip flopping you vote for him ,so you voted for this.”

“Anybody, at any time can change their choice. Nothing is concrete. To understand History, hopefully one does not repeat the mistakes of he past as in Vietnam. Obama, like Bush/ Cheney seem to embrace the mistakes and then take credit for them. Mind boggling, but true.
The only outcome is more death, more wasted resources, and we return home from these two Imperial conquests, both being abject failures.

“Uh, yeah, but that was assuming we weren't going to be in a full-blown recession/ depression one year after he became President, and he wasn't shoveling money at Wall Street. Now, once again, the American people will pay for the war, just when they've gotten nothing from this President. And he can't even speak the word Public Option! Let's not offend Republicans.

“There are lots of ways that less testing can be better for you.
As mentioned in this article, some procedures that are used when false positives are discovered can lead to very negative consequences during childbirth.
You actually have to analyze the numbers to figure out if testing is doing more harm than good.
This is why we try to apply actual scientific methods to the analysis of the effects of medical procedures rather than relying solely on gut instinct and anecdotal evidence.
The reaction that people are having to these analyses demonstrates one of the reasons why our medical costs are so high without there being any benefit.”

“As we all know this was done under Bush How did that work?? Giving money like 250 to seniors isn't the answer . Yes it helps them for a minute but there are other things to be done to help.250 here today gone tomorrow.N eeds to be some other type of relief to give to seniors that would benifit them instead of 250.00, tax breaks, better deductions. i know my parents would tell me that they would get a raise of ss and than a raise in there Insurance or tax so it would even out something like that all i know is one thing raised so the other took the raise away so you really never got ahead.”
OldTart replied on Oct 15, 2009 at 09:28:26
“This is how it works: you get a raise in your SS but the cost of your Medicare premiums is also raised, thus canceling each other out. Not taxes. SS is not taxed. Hell, if it were, none of us could survive on it (average SS payment is $1160/mo).”

“What people are saying is that it does not appear that the organization failed, but that a few individuals in the organizations failed. So, yes, ACORN does good work and deserves to continue doing it, but it employs (actually no longer employs!) some people who make really bad decisions.
Show us an organization that doesn't employ people who reflect badly on it.”

“I have a hard time understand why this guy Joe wilson is a racist for yelling " you lie" How can you tell a person is racist from that?”
Skepticat replied on Sep 17, 2009 at 16:01:14
“Everything depends on context. The speech was printed and available without surprises. Congressman yells "you lie". Since he knew the contents in advance he shouldn't claim he was overcome by emotions. It was thus probably an attention getting ploy. The Congressman also has history of strong pro confederacy sentiment and a mostly white Southern largely rural constituency - that voted heavily for MCCain. Given the circumstances, what is the probability he would do the same thing to a white president - given most of his conservative constituents would probably find it disrespectful to do so during a presidential address.”

“Maybe, you can tell because Wilson has been in Washington for over twenty years. In all that time he has sat and listen to Bush SR., Clinton, and Bush Jr., he never yelled out against anything they said in a joint speech to congress. As soon as the country votes in a black man, Wilson screams out like Palin giving birth. Gee, what made him lose himself, was it a plot with the other paper waving Gopers to "act up" during the presidents speech ? He never screamed out with Bush Sr. watch my lips lie, or Clinton's Monica ordeal, neither did he utter a word with Bush jr. lie about weapons in Iraq, two unfunded wars, listening to Americans personal phone calls, etc., etc. Yet, he couldn't help yelling at a black president. You can't judge a man by a moment in his life, but you can make a damn good judgement after 21 years in government. He's a racist !”
