“The Twitter site and mobile site are god awful. Just about everyone I know tweets from a separate application.”

“Yes. Call or email your US House Rep and ask that he/she co-sponsor H.R.1283 - Military Readiness Enhancement Act of 2009. It's been languishing in the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel since March 31, 2009.”

“Yeah, true that.”

“You'll just confuse them with FACTS :-O”

“It will when Obama taxes them.”

“All those pennies in a lightning storm...”

“I don't expect him to fulfill all his promises in the first year.

I do expect him to continue to stand up for them and espouse them passionately.

I do not expect him to compromise every core-belief he has on the altar of the false-god "Bipartisanship" which is exactly what he's doing now.”

“I for one voted for change and hope with Obama. But in his first year he tackled health care with a government run program(?) That's not change. That's more of the same. I really thought he was going to come up with some fresh ideas...so­me change. Government employees hire their family and friends too, just like they do in the Harvard network and the unions and the corporations.

I really thought Obama would separate himself from all corps, all unions, all politicians. Having the AFL-CIO like anything being pitched is a fast way to lose a lot of voters.

I haven't given up on Obama. He still has 3 years left, maybe 7. Let's hope he drops this maniacal approach to "solving" the health care crisis and get some change going. Before he tackles health care, how about bringing some change to the table. How about fixing what the government has already brought to the table? How about fixing taxes, and social security, Medicare, the William D Ford Direct Student Loan Program, Amtrak, the USPS. Change. That's why we voted him change. Progress. Fix something. Adding more of the same is not fixing.”

“they didn't poll ne either..i am a democrat..­..but i would vote for anyone now but him”

“I feel the same way and I'm DISGUSTED with HuffPost for seemingly doing all it can to disparage President Obama, constantly whining "You're not progressive enough" no matter what he does.”

“I am with you. No one polled me either. I too approve of President Obama's job performance.”

“I haven't yet reached the point where I wouldn't vote for him, but I am sorely missing some leadership on healthcare. I don't even need to see that we win, I just want to see them fight for what is right. You don't have to win the battle to earn respect.

Leadership isn't just about getting everything through compromise, its about standing up for what you believe in and fighting for those who can't fight for themselves. You don't need to win the battle, you just need to fight it.

How charged up would the Democrat's base been if, prior to recess, Obama had come out and really stood up for the public option. Really fought out against the lies and rhetoric. Maybe he wouldn't have won every battle, but he would have energized those people who supported him most, his base. Same with all the Democrats in Congress. Just fight for us. Let the Republicans fillibuster, keep the Senate open all night, don't stop debate. Just stand up for something, its what your base has been asking for for years now.

For all of the bad decisions Bush made over the years, one thing he understood was how to stand up for what he believed, however misguided, and truly fight for it. The Democrats need to take a lesson. Granted Bush and Co. fought with deciept and lies, but the Democrats don't need that since they are supported by good ideas.

Just lead us. Its all we ask.”

“You approve of bank bailouts that are giveaways, of continuing the Bush policies on rendition and torture, of health reform that only helps Big Pharma and the insurance industry, of an expansion of the war in Afghanistan and a continuation of the occupation of Iraq? The you must be very happy. Or are you standing there with your eyes squeezed shut repeating over and over again: Obama's doing a great job, he's doing a heckuva job, he's the greatest..­.?”

“He doesn't, he has people for that.”

“I wonder how SHE can look HIM in the face!”

“Why? She's as phony as he is.”

“Sir, you are a sad and pathetic vestige of an era gone by. Free health care is not part and parcel of America where the most advanced machines and drugs are developed to save the most lives. I suggest you stop writing letters to Dobbs and flee to the UK where you will be denied cancer treatment and die if you are over 55, which may be better than the miserable life you have here.”

“They didn't block it. What happened is that a new Google Voice app was denied acceptance in the App store. Also, a few older apps like GV Mobile were simultaneously removed from the App store. At&t has denied involvement in the decision, but I think they are lying.

When users are allowed to make long distance VOIP calls, they are bypassing the At&t network and At&t won't be able to charge them long distance. That's how it affects At&t's bottom line.”
