“Happy holidays everyone - yes this wish from an UNAPLOGETIC Obama-supporter wishes the best of health to even those O-haters who cannot seem to want to give us a break by NOT attacking the First Family even for just breathing.

Thanks a lot to the good hartes people here and else where in the world who understand that government's role includes the value of empathy”

“I am glad that the kids who really need to hear President Obama's message of empathy, hard work at school, and respect of others and self are paying attention and that he is visiting them in their surroundings. Thanks President Obama for setting a good example and thanks to the parents or care givers of these students for NOT screaming and spewing nonsense about the visit”

“thanks for this link. Now I do not have to llok too far for information on The Obama Hawaii Holiday Vacation”

“happy holidays to POTUS and the The First Family and to everyone else in America and the world”

“nice, lovely and very reassuring that this beautiful and normal family represents the nation.

Extremely grateful to the "First Women" and Bo for showing up at the medical center and bringing some joy to the sick kids and exceptional medical staff and worried family members.

Merry Christmas!”

“If you listened to the latest address to the Joint Congress that President Obama gave he CLEARLY says that he is going to get ideas from McCain and Sen Hillary Clinton so no new here”

“truth is that you were lazy and did not take it to the street”

“Can these senators tell the people who have no insurance that debate is being hurried AFTER waiting 60 years”

“President Obama always said that he needs us to help bring about change even AFTER the vote becuase voting was only the beginning ans not the end”

“President does not write laws, congress and senate write laws and POTUS gives parameters about the priority he wants”

“Stop the hypocrisy progressives because we ALL bear blame for not fighting for the singgle payer and later the public option.

The truth is that WE ALL share the timidity and seem to have lost our ability to fight. My opinion is that:

(i) President Obama did not fight hard for what he knows we wanted as liberals
- trying so hard to please republicans and win Snowe's vote as a bipartisan but who now has abandoned him with ridiculous excuses that the bill is bein rushed

(ii) The White House Team has many members whose loyalty is conflicted and have little care for us poor mortals

(iii) A number of our Dem Senators are very corrupt and care more about their insurance company and health industry lobbyists that they do about us ordinary people;

(iv) Grassroots progressives activists and regular people who supported reform were largely missing in action and allowed the Tea Baggers to dominate the public discourse as we ONLY sat behind our computer screens and failed to take our fight to the street.”

“do not get sucked into this warmongering”

“will the loud rightwing radio hosts choke on their outrage at this very minimal progress?”

“Jealousy s a dangerous thing - that rightwinger woman would nevereven qualify to wipe the ground on which Mrs Michelle Obama steps. The women are envious because The Obamas seem to have it all”

“Do not worry, grassroots plans are underway to counter Liberman and Nelson's grandstanding - they will not know how real reform will become law by ignoring the members of congress and Senate who are bought and paid for”

“low life”

“According to nes reports: "President Obama will deliver remarks on the health care bill to the press pool at 1:30 in the White House’s diplomatic reception room." . He is running late but will be saying something in live event soon”

“Candidate Obama NEVER campained as a supporter of Single Payer”

“Think of alternative actions for additional reforms - do not just fume”

“A few changes happen from Washington but most change happens from the ground up. Let the Senate pass this crapy bill and we move ahead with people-generated deeper and more meaningful reforms. Some of us are already working towards drafting this people-generated reforms and will be plaing these in motion soon after the final bill is voted on and signed”

“the bill neds to get out of the Senate because most are bought and paid-for. I hope that Speaker Pelosi can push for some susbstantial liberal modifications to the Senate bill during reconcilliation”

“any more smackdowns of backstabbing joe?”

“God has a funny sense of humour in bringing the snow storm at this time - ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that the Senate is snowed in until AFTER Christmas so that the republicans who have been grandstanding and delaying the bill can reap what they sowed. They should not be let out of the Senate until after they have voted and thank God the snow storm is headed their way”

“At least President Obama was able to crash into the meeting of those 4 back-stabers who were plotting to get a deal against the US. POTUS is constantly under-estimated but he can be sturborn when he feels he is being dissed”

“About time someone gave traitor joe a test of his own medicine”
