“Ha Haaahaaha !! That was beautiful! It seems to me that when leaders support you, men and women are willing to die for you (unlike when I had to serve under a bush), and your words and deeds most consistently ring of truth, writers, scholars, teachers, community servants, inventors, artists, chemists, and yes, even Presidents are worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. I heard the awards speaker say there was one person who even won it within a month for writing a book. Guess what? President Obama fits a number of these categories. But also, is (quite literally) laying a universally agreed upon but 'righteous' foundation, for 21st century peaceful coexistence, based on the facts inherent within cultural diversity? That's why they call him an Architect. History shows that as the best leadership.

If it fails, please don't exclude the corporate oligarchy controlling our Democracy through media and bribes - killing for profit (wrongly denied Health Insurance - responsible for over half of all bankruptcies, war profiteering, banking monopolies buying out small banks, War Promoters - industrial military complex no bid contracts and international arms sales, arms dealers, Blackwater etc.).”

“Part 2 of 2

All other nations see these dynamics, while in every speech President Obama takes the time to educate the public and explain detail what he is doing, empowering us to carry the fight and educating us to the realities of multiple imminent global disaster posed by corporate opposition who control 75% of our Congress through bribes. The international effect of his example, is without equal - Regardless of the success of the Oligarchy brain washing the naive public against him (and their own interests) that we the people voted to acheive. He is speaking truth to power through our actions, despite continuous opposition of the corporate media and power structure.

There is a non-violent revolution occurring as a result of all the above. It is leading to the elimination of the corporate and banking oligarchy, that owns our federal Reserve and controls our Democracy. This year, this man, and our participation passing our legislation (Clean Energy Jobs / U.S. self sufficiency, Meaningful Health Care Reform, Equal Rights at work, Education) are the last chance to save our country and planet. If it fails, our income will be irrelevant.”

“Obama OPPOSES health care justice (Medicare For All HR676, S.703) OPPOSES the Employment Free Choice Act, is in the process of destroying the u.s educational system along with his basketball buddy, Arne Duncan (whose experience prior to destroying the Chicago school system was as a player in the NBA) through the cancerous spread of charter schools, leads & has lead legislative action rewarding the wall st. criminals for destroying the still-collapsing global economy, rewarding the health care and pharmaceutical rackets for making health care inaccessible in the u.s., rewarding the oil, coal, and nuclear crime syndicates (who, along with the health care and pharmaceutical rackets and wall st. contributed heavily to his presidential campaign) with "climate legislation" that further enriches them & continues to destroy the environment, and continues or strengthen capitalist globalization "agreements" such as NAFTA that continue to eliminate u.s. jobs.

“Part one of two - Very Sad that the world sees this and we can't, they also see with the same clarity, our ridiculous debate over universal health care that's twice as cheap and serves everyone, but stalled and objected by a corrupt congress. They see the oligarchy controlling our government and deliberately trying to "break him" and the will of the American people who they oppose with billions in spending and bribes. Yes they see, while the media vacuum that, regardless of a few token shows that represent the truth, is wholly owned by the oil, gas, Big pharma, insurance, and banking cartels that control it's message against the President and us. They see the 400% increase in death threats from legalized racism (KKK tax exempt as of June 2006). But the final whammy is, that in the midst of all that opposition, President Obama implemented 100 foreign policy achievements during his 1st 100 days - major progress in working with world leaders, stalled the depression, found a universal dialog serves as an action base for improved relations, new trade, environmental protection, technology, and self sufficiency.

“As listed in history - The war in Afghanistan is based on the fact that these Taliban extremist were bombing and taking over Pakistan (see PBS Documentary on Frontline), and killed their Prime Minister who dared to stand up against the ruling class and was very popular and heavily favored. She (Ms Bhutto) is by all rights a civil rights martyr. Pakistan, has Long Range Nuclear weapons. If keeping them out of the hands of who will use them against us presents a "choice" to you, then I submit you are insane or as you refer to the President "stupid".
To even suggest such an incompetent move is ridiculous. I sincerely suspect your political affiliation is republican despite objection. You wish to leave but say nothing of our voting to go there based bushes "stupidity" - enhanced by the fact of nuclear weapons. Nothing from you on that. just your one-sided perspective run away, and bash Obama.
Why don't you comment on the industrial military complex, Federal Reserve / big bank's and corporate Oligarchy contributing to ruining U.S. Pakistan relationships, or corporate Black Water Death Squads? Why do you never do nothing to assist him in passing our economic, green jobs and equal opportunity agendas? I submit that you are the deception. Your comments are consistently shallow propaganda.”

“I only read the first three or four sentences and had to commend you Brother. Though I can no longer claim to limit myself to just Christianity, I applaud that voice for righteousness. As a poor person who spends an unrealistic amount of time helping those worse off than himself I was revived by the intensity of truth, love, and spirit in your words. Further, I think that Christians, Muslims and all other faiths, whether you believe in them or not, could do a hell of a lot more to stand up for themselves - especially in light of all the bad that is posted.

“An Oligarchy owns televised media, then uses calls itself "liberal", kill 2200 people a day by denying them health care, but call the Public Option "genocide" - mis-spend $32 billion in bonuses, and luxuries, accused their homeless victims of being greedy, and ignorant, and define helping them as socialist?

How is it that the 1% controlling 99% this countries wealth, freely violate FCC rules with endless false advertisement, owe 28% of their taxes, hide trillions in offshore accounts, throw away 4, 500, lives and trillions in an unjust war? Loved the fake oil shortage, endless debt, toxic assets, record bankruptcies, credit default swaps, false ads, buy up homes of their victims, and force faultless small banks out of business or buy them up.

Yes listen to those who've consistently voted against everything human, while insisting women be forced to give them birth, but do all they can to insure children have no support system to avoid prison insanity and death. Yes we should listen to these rancid clots. Don't allow children to listen to a college professor, talking about their future, who appointed their Secretary Of Education and promotes policies that benifit them. Why listen to him?

So graciously the 1% voted against educational improvements for decades, but now tell children what to do to become genocidal, narcissistic gluttons like them. Duh? What was I thinking. Shame on you Obama!

“Prophetic of the current apathy, and even more hate. Ironically the same opportunity to create a milestones of social equality and justice through awakened social consciousness - with even more audacity! As we think, imagine solutions; look at the examples of other nations, listen to facts, we resist the apathy, and ignorance, and become the solution.

Rest in Peace Senator Kennedy. Hopefully your passing will cause the apathetic to take a peek behind the Wizard's curtains and see the tiny 1% minority/cult of conglomerates that own the mass media while calling itself Liberal - disgracing their Charter as Republican or Blue Dog Democrats for the greed of big Oil, Coal, Banks, etc. That is the industrial military complex.

Knowing the cause of the problem, provides the level of action necessary to restore the Constitution. Checking facts, would in itself, set the dynamics in motion for us to "throw the bums out", and rapidly achieve our potential as a true Democracy and not as the current deregulated Oligarchy (rule by a small class), controlling us through reduced access to education and creating debt.”

“Not everyone here is stupid, so don't treat us like we are. That cliche' sounding blather about Democrats getting it done falsely insinuates that they all are confused and incompetent. The very real and now well known, proven and published fact is that the GOP is totally owned by lobbyists, and that the Democratic Party is about 25% owned by the Lobbyists (on the health care issue).

The specific amounts of money politicians selling their votes for is well known and published. If you don't know it then I will post it for you at the end of this writing.

The point is that "We the people" can't, don't and wont realize that we have the power and opportunity to create a true democracy by targeting and getting rid of badly corrupted people who sell their votes for bribes. Last week's turn around was blatant proof of that power when we act!

We are not fighting party charters, we are fighting lies, fraud, and corruption. Unfortunately, the corruption in the right and far right wing proves that they are supporting failure (as announced) through control over blue dog democrats who are traitors to themselves, their constituents, and there party.

“My understanding is that without the Public Option no real incentive for controlling costs will be realized. Its based on those who can afford to pay and does not address those who cannot. It leaves the insurance companies in control of the game.

“Answer to: why the rush? and a question to you.
1)Bribes of government officials and false information being distributed by insurance companies (and other Lobbyists) is proven to be effective at dampening public participation in pressuring congress to act. The GOP is spending $1.4Mil-a-­day in a campaign that lies about the Public Option

2) An average of 400,000 people a month are loosing their insurance. They're not going on "vacation". For them it's literally a life and death issue. People are dieing.

3) Considering the effectiveness against all of the agendas we voted for, and that the lobbyists who support them 'own' 98% of America's financial power, logic dictates that time is on their side.

4) It's been a while since the plan was released, and Congress has had 20 years to review the subject. The 1,000 page report should have been read by now.
