“Nicely said.”

“Thanks Karronna Indeed ronny46032 sounds like an awfully sad creature.”

“Also, as it stands our profit driven health extortion racket cost the tax payer over $7000. per person. That includes the 47 million who don't have health care insurance and count on ER's., which is an enormous sum, paid by the US Tax Payer. US health care is rated number 37. On the other hand, the Canadians do it for $3000. per person and everyone is covered. The French cost about the same, but are rated number 1...
The UK does it much cheaper, but it's a true socialist system.. It's not as effective as the French, but better than the USA. So hell yes, al but fools know that Single Payer health care would save billions per year and everyone would be covered. Oh the other hand, if we get a Public Option it will most probably be geared to fail and drive more sheeple into the slaughter house of the health care extortion racket.
That is, this is probably more posturing on the part of Dems. Both factions, dems and repubs of the one Corporate Party. Since dems and repubs already know the outcome, it's probably just much ado about nothing.”

“Why? He had a chance to push through a lot more than he actually did. Look at ho much Bush pushed through in his first few years.

The problem is Obama is more concerned about getting support rather than simply doing what he believes is right.”

“A plutocratic lie.
Anyone who says "baby steps" is an obstructionist.
We can get single payer in September.
It's what the majority of the American people want,
it's what the majority of AMerican physicians want,
it would save more than $400 billion a year, enough to insure all of the uninsured.

Eliminate the private health cartel, and without our economy spending a single penny more on health care than it does now, our health care crisis would end instantly.
The mere existence of the private health insurance cartel and its alliance with the other cartels are the primary and secondary causes of the crisis.
Fight the cartels, and there is no longer a problem--you solve both the uninsurance and costs problems in one blow.

It is NOT too late for victory, whatever Brenner says.
THose who say it is too late are shilling for the plutocrats.
WE are telling the narrative, and the narrative is that the GOP is irrelevant, the Democrats have enough votes to pass any bill they want, and if the Blue Dogs and centrists don't pass single payer, they are corrupt agents of the industrial cartels, servants of the plutocracy, not democrats, and we will kick them out of Congress in the primaries.”

“I disagree. He went into this with huge Democratic majorities in the House and Senate and overwhelming popular support from the public. He could have been a LEADER and called on the people who got him elected to stand up and make their voices heard, putting pressure on the Blue Dogs not to compromise away our only shot at real reform. Instead, he's spent this entire process making back-room deals and barely making more than a half-hearted attempt to explain to people what real reform would look like and why it's so desperately needed.

I believed that if any president could possibly get it done, it was Obama. But he's made demonstrable errors in his handling of this issue and proven himself an ineffective leader. Many will suffer and some will die because he failed to stand up and fight for them.”

“This is wrong-headed. If he blows this chance, it will be a long time before we get another one. Incrementalism is fine in the academic environment of the Judiciary, but the demos are fickle, and shifts in Congress have to happen quickly.”

“If the best Obama can do, even with a fillabuster-proof majority in the Seante and the strong support of the American public, is accept a series of compromises which save some political face but fail to deliver any genuine, substantial reform, then the American system of government is fundamentally broken.”

“Allison is very good. She had gotten in the bottom 3 three times, but I was still surprised she went. I expected Danny or Kris to go last week. They are pretty much one in the same, but Kris has a nice timber to his voice. He'll make a nice soft rock album.”

“They wanted Allison gone so Seacrest could use his "3 Amigos" crack last night.
She was the best”

“Ten years from now, we'll primarily remember American Idol--if we remember it at all--as Adam Lambert's starting place. He is going to be a very big star. The other two are good singers, but he's a showman with a huge upside. Last night, Simon said he might be a Freddie Mercury inheritor and I think he's right on target.”

“I'm not outraged over the AIG nonsense. I think they should be paid according to contract.

My outrage is at those pretending to be angry over the whole thing.

And you deem my opinion useless, then I also deem yours useless.

So, we're both useless.”
