Obama’s Agenda: Circuit Overload?

After the last 8 years of a President that couldn’t walk and chew gum (when he tried, Iraq happened), a real working President is something that the American public can’t quiet grasp. President Obama told us before he was elected he could multitask.

If he backs off then he will be criticized for not doing enough.

There may be some truth in that and then again, it may be nothing more than a tool to try to stop Obama, much as it was used with some success against Clinton. You do remember that, don’t you.

Communication involves active listening, and Obama does not have this skill.
He has the gift of obfuscating manipulation with no wisdom! :(
No spine Obama, just naive or a dangerous idealogue? Which-ever Americans are not as stupid as you think!
Fix the spending bill Barack! Walk the talk or resign!

Oh would you please stop. Obama has communicated more with people than GWB ever did. At least he doesn’t sound like a back woods hick.
Secondly, yes people are stupid, they elected Bush twice. That bill was written back in December before he took office and there is alot of PORK in it from Republicans as well.

I am beginning to have my misgivings about Obama. He sees the problem…but at the same time he doesn’t. He doesn’t approve of the 400+ spending bill….again, it was “they”…the last administration …the last Congress…who did this awful pork-filled piece of junk…..so I can’t change it…not mine, not mine…..Americans: here’s a pen, Barack, veto it then.
You had better learn quickly that you can’t have it both ways…your “legacy” will have to wait for awhile. THERE IS MORE IMPORTANT WORK TO BE DONE…AND DONE NOW. So, let’s drop your Newsmaker of the Day approach, and get this economy settled…whatever that takes. Ultimately, WE are the “deciders,” and not you alone. Finally, no more of the “Congress made me do it” routine……it doesn’t fly.

Trent….there’s a difference between multi-tasking and making foolish decisions in the name of “SANE” decisions vs. “IN-SANE” decisions.
There is a time to have the intelligence to put your personally agenda on hold for the betterment of the country. Mr. Obama focus should be on the top priorities in this country (i.e.,uemployment, economy, housing etc).
The american people are not impressed with his multi-tasking, when this country’s economic situation is diminshing. We would rather that the “Commander in Chief” take care of one issue at a time and be successful, than to attempt too trackle many including adding his campaign agenda that he ran on at the same time trying to get a solution to this countries emergency agenda, which should be priority number one — the unexpected collapse of our financial instiutions, housing problems and uemployment issues.
Take care of that agenda first and become successful. Instead of trying to tackle everything including, if you will, the kitchen sink and failed at them all.
Obama have not become successful at one as far a the american people are concerned. Just give us one to let us know that you “can” bring a major issue successfully to its conclusion.

I hope we survive four years of this ego infected empty suit Obama.

No matter the risks, get Bin Laden, and bring him to justice once and for all !!

This I believe is very necessary. It is what Bush should have kept his eye on. I feel that President Obama is intending to accomplish this in what he is doing in Afghanistan. For those who died on 9-11 and their families Osama Bin Ladin must be captured. America needs this.

AS LONG AS HE AND HIS COUNERPARTS CAN BLAME BUSH HE WILL BE OKAY. HE CAN’T THINK FOR HIMSELF. JUST BLAME BUSH. WELL, IN TRUTH AND IN FACT, BUSH IS NOT TEHRE

Jane, I agree. Eventually, the blame game will soon ware thin and you know what happens after that. The American people will start holding the new Pres. accountable for the current issues at hand.

“Next time vote wisely instead of — Oh! he looks so good — doesn’t mean he will do so great!”
*********
Actually, I’m older than Obama by a couple of years and in this election it was a no-brainer as who to vote for. Obama is doing exactly the same thing that I would do if I were elected President.
It is unfortunate that there are people out there who can’t get on board, who are, and have been, holding us back from being the great country that we could be. I am kind of amazed that people not only can’t see the positive outcome of his plans and really, don’t want his plans to work, but that they are also unwilling to help make them work. People who would rather cut off their nose to spite their face than work on making positive change in this country.
I think the key word I used in that last paragraph was work. A lot of people don’t seem to want to do it.
The words freedom, and liberty, and independence don’t mean anything if you are not willing to work for it. And these next four years are going to be telling in whether or not we will still be able to own those words. Obama is doing his best and each of us, individually and as communities should be getting on board and doing their best work too.

I was also an Obama voter and I am 49, my mother is 83 and I have sisters 50,46 and 44 who all voted for him. So it was not all the younger generation. Let his plans have time to work for God’s sake.

Obama and his economic advisors, as they call themselves are beyond STUPID. We didn’t need this stimulus garbage, we need jobs, provided by businesses. How do we do this?????? We give businesses a TAX BREAK, so they can afford to grow and hire MORE PEOPLE! U.S. businesses have the highest tax rate in the WORLD, 35%!!!! We should cut payroll taxes to give them more money, thus more JOBS. SOMEBODY CLUE OBAMA IN, PULEEEEZE!

I think we have seen enough of what Republicans can accomplish which is nothing. No that creates greed and outrageous bonuses not jobs. We see how well some of these CEO’s have run these businesses.

Listen folks. What has taken 20 years to break isn’t going to be repaired in 60 days. There will be plenty of time to judge Obama’s agenda. Most of the folks making the judgements now are doing so for political or idealogical reasons. I believe the president should set the agenda and Obama has done that agressively. How much he pushes and accomplishes will vary and I am sure his number priority will always be the economy. So, you conservatives can rant all they want….but most reasonable folks are willing to give Obama a reasonable amount of time to be successful.

The President is analystical and calculating. These issues the president has untaken in the short time he’s been in office, should have been done Years ago. Delay, Delay, Delay. It’s a shame that some Americans are using their own agendas instead of that of America. This is “fundamentally broken” in a number of areas, and these areas are now impacting all of us as it relates to economics. A strong country is not strong when the underline issues are being “swept” under the rug, and showing it’s face in poor healthcare, poor education systems, and “leverage” of a few. This country is not “STRONG”! Not only are we divided as a Nation, but the fundamentals of a strong country is and has not been there for many, many years. We as Americans need to look at what is, and what we need to do to FIX it, instead of partisan politics, fear, yelling at one another, hate and racism. You cannot have a STRONG country based on such a “weak, shaky foundation”. This is the end results. We need to thank God that we have a stong leader who is smart enough to KNOW this. To the “NO” party that is still fighting the last election, it’s time you become “the American” that truly loves his country. It is obvious that they don’t have an “honest” answer, after the last 8 years has proven so irresponsible, and bordering on “neglect” of the country they were “hired” to lead it.

Obama has been in office 7 weeks and every day republicans lay more blame on him for the last 8 years, brother, you neo-cons take the cake and excel in NOT taking responsibility for your own actions. What’s next, blaming Obama for the poor Katrina response?

I believe in the causes and ideals that Obama is pushing. But the economy is the 600 pound gorilla at the dinner party. It demands his focus and attention right now. Plus, when you raise sweeping environmental and health care change, you make a lot of enemies who will fight you on fixing the economy.

The Palin/Limbaugh lovers are so desperate to have President Obama fail that they would rather see America and the world tank to prove it. I have never heard such hatred and venomous unpatriotic garbage in a time of unprecedented economic crisis and war six weeks into a presidential term. The fear from the right is not coming from the possibility President Obama will fail. The fear of the Republicans is that he will succeed.

Perhaps, but who else is going to do it?
Isn’t this the way a business runs? They make decision and then act on them. Sure hasn’t been tried before in Washington. Certainly not by the GOP, I haven’t seen them, raise their heads out of the sand in years. Ask David Brooks.

Bob Retired.
That’s not happening. You do know that’s not even true. Whoever told you that must think you are gullible, or you are making up stories thinking the rest of us are. I know it must be hard for you to believe that President Obama knows what he is doing, but he does. Want to know how I know? It’s a secret so don’t tell anybody. The Democrats have been out of power for a while now, they will not do anything that will give you Republicans ammunition to get back in office. He will turn things around in the economy and get Osama Bin Ladin.

For the first time in many years we have a group of elected officials that have intellect AND intellectual curiosity, WITH the desire to bring all parties, friend AND foe to the table to discuss issues and form policy.
Seems pretty refreshing to me!
Especially given where we have recently been as a country.

Where was all of that outrage the past 8 years or did it suddenly just pop up 7 weeks ago. We finally have a President that is actually doing something. Imagine that! Oh the horror.

It’s more of over-his-head than overload.

The American dream has been ending for some time. I gave up on republican and democrat nonsense years ago. I am not a person that just picked up on who won or lost the last election. I didn’t care because both the republican and the democrat parties need to be put out of business. What can we expect from a congress full of lawyers bought off by lobbyists with suitcases full of money voting for NAFTA. Regan’s administration introduced NAFTA to congress, Clinton’s administration approved and signed it. America has lost over 25 million blue collar middle class good jobs to foreign countries…, thanks to our leaders in Washington. It took 25 years for the real impact of these losses to truly be felt. Go ahead you clowns, think like sheep. I hope nothing bad happens to any of us in the future, but history proves real bad times are ahead for all honest taxpaying American citizens. Don’t call me names, you just make yourself one of the clowns I speak of.

To: Jwench… My best subject growing up was history. I never realized how important studying history would be until I started to sense many things that were happening have happened before to other nations. To me the most important thing we Americans have is our control (through the Constitution) of our own country. We no longer have any control over the events that affect all of us. All we have to vote for is which group of buffoons are we going to send to Washington this time so they can continue to dismantle our nation, receive incredible financial gains, and run our country without regard to the individual citizens. I say it’s gone far enough. I didn’t like Bush, I don’t like Obama, and I despise the congress of the United State. I’m ready for a change, one that gives control of America back to the citizens and taxpayers of this country. We have an invasion of our land from the south. We have a congress that’s allowing the borders to continue to remain porous and they want to legalize 23 million Hispanics and provide medical care, social security benefits, and free government services that are not even available to normal, legal American citizens. I would say we have lost control of our own government , wouldn’t you?

Bob,
Have a great night. I just took some Nyquil and I am dozing off (bad cold). Would love to stay and chat but my bed is calling me. Hope to catch up with you again. We do have our differences but also agree on things as well. :)

Bob retired,
you are complaining about congress being full of lawyers, what do you think Obama is? Obama is a lawyer who never practiced law.

It is my impression that Sen Shelby just wasn’t the brightest light bulb in that pack during this morning’s conversation. If CitiBank went down, it would take big chunks of the international economy with it. Even though its home base is in the US, it has branches in multiple foreign nations.
Our economy has been on the slide since at least the Fall of 2007. Think back to when we first started hearing about the increasing number of mortgage defaults. I remember listening to some commentary on NPR at the time from some speaker involved in the banking/markets/real estate industry talking about the issue. What really got my attention was when the speaker stated that what we were seeing at that time was only the tip of the “ice berg”. For when the next round of foreclosures hit, the entire economy, ours and other nations’ would be severely hit due to the interconnectedness of markets and all of the toxic bundles of bad mortgages. Guess that is exactly what we’re seeing happen now.
Given the scale of our economic and foreign relations issues, I really don’t think we can afford a president who sits on his hands. Those economists who understand what is going on think Obama should have had a lot more spending in the stimulus bill, not less.
The cost of healthcare in this nation is insane. As a job benefit, it is becoming too expensive for many companies to afford to keep offering. The grip the health insurance industry has on the delivery of health care is crazy and dangerous. The majority of physician and nurse professional organizations support universal healthcare. More businesses are getting behind that idea. The big squawkers are those in the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. As for myself, I shudder at the thought that my health and well being could be a profit point for some company.

Too many people waiting around for the government to solve the problems. We have to each work to resolve our own problems and that will then solve the bigger problems. We got here because we allowed the government to get too big and then became too dependent on it.

How many of you noticed the tone of the last 3 communications. We seem to be in agreement on some things. Not one word was said defending either democrat or republicans. There is hope. Lets get together fellow Americans and fix this mess.

I have come to the conclusion this is a fella with ADHD on speed. It seems like this is an agenda of 100 ideas in 100 days…so far he has done nothing but talk and fly around here and there …talking. He will destroy our nation and our Constitution!

The position advocated by Sen. Shelby (R-Ala) is the only one his party has left to offer.
Although Sen. Shelby himself has been consistent about his views on gov’t involvement in the private sector, you have to admit that others in his party seem fairly disingenuous when they echo him (now) whereas they largely ignored hims four months ago.
After all, many republicans voted in favor of Bush’s (Feb’08) $170 billion economic stimulus, in favor of the US automakers’ bailout, in favor of the $700 Billion to the Treasury, and in favor of the $150 billion AIG bailout: all, it seems, to forstall the economic meltdown through 2008 so that it couldn’t be laid at the feet of their guy, GW.
So it sort of rings hollow when they now declare themselves against government intervention in principle.

President Obama is a leader who looks at more than one issue at a time. Great leaders have the abilities to make excellent decisions with great executives working for the betterment of the corporation, company, business, and in Obama’s leadership, the government and many issues demanding change.
President Obama has expertise in change management. He has the tools, talents, skills, experiences, and excellent cabinet to meet the demanding needs of this government at hand. They all see the big picture. GOP can’t see the back of their hand without bifocals.
Unfortunately, it appears the GOP can’t keep up, and can’t handle more than one issue at a time. They have difficulty in deciphering multi issues at once. President Obama is like a perfect triage in an emergency trauma unit. He understands and assesses each and every patient and acts upon the immediate, interim, and long term care. GOP are reacting not acting. Leadership talents of react and act are extremely different.
President Obama is from the new generational thinking of doing more than one concept at one time, and coming up with the right answers each time.
GOP is outdated, too conventional, and incapabable of making intelligent decisions without making contracts benefitting them and their pocketbooks. Look at Blackwater Worldwide — GOP. Afghanistan War – GOP incomplete. Economy — GOP in question for tax cuts to the wrong group. Health Care — GOP lines its pockets with kickbacks from insurance companies, physicians, clinics, hospitals, pharmaceutical firms — afraid of universal care for fear of losing kickback income.
Eight years of GOP rule versus 2 years of more Democrat leadership. Six years of deficits that caused immense damage to America and global markets. GOP = total greed. Democrats = putting America back on full speed ahead — GOP can’t handle fast tracks. They are slow, slow thinkers, and if it’s not in their financial interest, they stall and stonewall.
Opinion — GOP get on board or get training in dealing with more issues at one time, or let someone else who can deal with assessment of decision making in quick and reasonable amount of time. Nearly all GOP are at least 60 years and older — older generation who don’t get computers, systems, concepts, multi issues, Champion Lean Six Sigma, outlook, texting, emailing, downloading, scanning, only old ideas that don’t work, and outdated concepts.
Rush Limbaugh – outdated. Newt Gingrich – outdated. Phil Gramm – outdated. McCain – outdated. Roomney — out of touch.
GOP, get on board, get training, or let those who are more capable of staying on top of issues, making decisions quickly, efficiently, and effectively within reasonable amount of time be our law makers. We don’t need “Old Maids” who grip, complain, whine (anger), yell, and all other negative counters to deflect their inabilities to work effectively and efficiently.
GOP, it goes like this: Go to start, click, touch screen, voice recognition, restart, click, touch screen, voice recognition, fingerprint, hand print, pupil of eye view, than continue to next step. It’s all about comprehending, learning, assessing, reassessing, text message, twitter, or email — so many forms of communications that will become even more technical as President Obama leads our country and the world into faster and faster forms of communications. Bush was old fashioned, didn’t understand futuristic technology, fast speed, only slow and go golf cart drive.
Thank goodness President Obama who understand current and futuristic concepts and makes life better and happen faster and faster. President Obama’s generation understands these concepts on a daily basis.
We Americans who have these skills and talents already have been waiting 8 years to get things going fast again. Bush and his slow thinkers put us back 40 years in time. President Obama will take us 40 years into the future in 8 years. We have ground to make up, and we have been ready to go.
Let’s do this — Go Obama Go! We are behind you and let’s get this world back on track into the full speed trains on fast tracks.

H.M. – So well said. GOP is deflecting “big time”.

GOP – “What was the question?”
Democrats – “Let’s get it done, and NEXT”.
GOP – Back in time
Democrats – Way ahead in time
GOP – Don’t get math
Democrats – Advanced Placement in Math
GOP – Afraid of Science
Democrats – Love Science
GOP – Duh, what is that?
Democrats – It’s the newest wireless phone that does everything including turns on the oven at home, does calculus problems, gives me my daily bank balance, updates stock market quotes, real time digital telecasts, GPS, my office, The Works, It’s great!
GOP – Did that comes with instructions?
Democrats – Already knew how to use it — upgrade from my last wireless phone – It’s great!
GOP – Oh
Democrats – Yeah!

Gg51 get a clue. Obama does not lead and does not exude leadership. That’s the problem! He’s all over the map because HE is deflecting! It’s all a big slick talk salesman game and he knows all too well that once the numbers start to roll in and people realize his out of control spending is doing nothing to help the economy he won’t have a chance in hell to get anything passed. First of all the US Gov is not a business because it produces nothing you moron! More importantly if it was a business it would need a bailout and Obama as CEO would be out on his butt already. He’s spending money we do not have on things we do not need. Things that cannot compete in the open market and will not make us a profit in the near to foreseeable future. A small part of the money he’s spent is actually needed and that’s only for the short term like a band-aid. It’s all a crazy mess and in 4 years he’s gonna us it to get re-elected claiming that if he can’t have the chance to finish it then it will all have been in vain. Likewise the money he’s spending is being strategically implemented to show temp results that coincide w/ the 2012 elections.

Vassie YB:
If you haven’t noticed, we are tanking with the Obama/Soros team in control. I hope that they fail big time before terrorists own a couple of countries, American freedoms are reigned in accordance with prevailing UN standards and Israel gets shafted.
Watch who NoBama meets with in Turkey, and try and find out what agreemants he makes there.

the wheels are going to come flying off the bus quick enough!

Some of the comments are real “dumb”. America has been in a recession since 2001, and the previous Administration “cooked the books”, and acted as if nothing was wrong> I was a small business owner, and when Bush was elected my business lost 30% in 2001, people were scared, and it continue to fall until 2004 when I closed. I want to know where were all the “Loud Mouths” for the past 8 years.

Gg51… I agree…
GOP has become so much LESS
I actually like and am very much encouraged with the way Obama is going, I like that practically everyday, I can see Obama working to solve the problems we are having… Because everyday I see the results of the Recession going on all around me with lay offs, I have had to take a cut in pay and lost benefits.
While the only thing I see the GOP doing is stalling and standing in opposition to a President determined to get things done.
I see a GOP accusing this President of earmarks and wasteful spending and then I see an Omnibus bill loaded with earmarks and spending that many of those same Republicans are now suddenly for… They are ridicules…

I’m sorry, I just can’t wait for the next commenter that will start the democrat versus republican crap as a response to my previous post. It’s those people that have been hood winked by congress and are now very much a part of the problem. Please save your breath and tell someone else. The government is broken and has been broke for the past 30 years. Wake up America before things get much worse.

Obama is doing what he thinks is best, and good luck to him. Unfortunately for all of us, what he thinks is best entails a deep seated hatred of our country’s ideals and history. Apparently the only historical figures he is familiar with are Abraham Lincoln and FDRoosevelt. His goal is to fundamentally change the United States into his third world image and sabotage the greatness of this country. I am more convinced of this every day.
If he’d like to prove me wrong, he needs to start acting like he has the best interests of the doers and acheivers in this country because at this point in the game, he seems to have only their demise in mind.

Why is it I get so angry with the government for accelerating the demise of “jobs” in America by
promoting, encouraging, and allowing trade agreements to further erode our socio-economic system by
shipping most of our “now needed” manufacturing jobs to other countries. All companies and businesses
must be supported by the government or they will simply close down, or move out.
My problem is… If I invented a new source of energy or a new engine (say hydrogen) that provides 100
miles per gallon, or a new super efficient battery that could provide the energy and recharge quickly that
could replace the automobiles of today.., would you agree it would be “huge” relative to new jobs, new
manufacturing, and would have a major impact on our economy. Sounds good to me, but I know the
first thing that would happen, if a prototype was perfected, the businessman would be on a jet tomorrow
going to Asia to hire the factories needed to mass produce the product. American workers, American
society, government (taxes), etc would be cut out of the economic advantages because our manufacturing
base has already been transferred to other countries. Americans invent, we lose.
I understand what you say about, how does the businessman compete with cheaper foreign manufacturing
costs and there in lies the problem. Our own American government is responsible for the “globalization”
of manufacturing, service functions, and other cheaper ways of doing business. It virtually leaves the American
work force out in the cold. We can say to the American people wake up, work for similar wages as is being
paid in foreign countries or suffer. We are rapidly lowering our standard of living for the masses in our country
to that of 3rd world status. The resultant reduced purchasing power by consumers in America dries up our
market place as well. As time goes by I am watching other markets growing, expanding and replacing ours.
Here is the real rub for me. It was the American industrial revolution that created jobs, economic growth,
improved standard of living for all, and a future that businessmen could count on enabling business to take
risks and invest in the future. Borrow that money and build a new factory. New factories, R&D for new
ideas and new products, more jobs, higher profits, new markets, etc. It was the American education system
(colleges & universities), American ingenuity, American creativity and hard work, and most importantly the
American market place that allowed big business to get bigger, accumulate wealth, and continue the cycle.
This is all gone now. Our factories are closing at an alarming rate, jobs are disappearing, the invasion
from the south continues, and our government (that approved NAFTA) is totally out of control.
That’s the way I see things. Ignoring the obvious to me is not an acceptable option. We can start fixing
our problems when we truly define what they are. So far it doesn’t seem to be a concern for many.

Pres. Obama behaved like an optimist-in- chief when giving speech in the Congress. He also acts as a Pessimist- in chief, when he wanted his stimulus bill to be passed in Congress quick, he seemed to say: the world is coming to an end, don’t bother to read and study the bill, I would like them to put on my desk for me to sign on it within a WEEK !

It is so surprising to see all of the intellectual republicans wake up after 8 years with the same stupid logic. Tax Cuts, Tax Cuts, Tax Cuts sounds like a broken record, they don’t create jobs and if they did we wouldn’t be in this mess after 8 years of TAX CUTS. If they created jobs they didn’t create them in America. Now they want a spending freeze. Another brilliant idea from the right.
Socialist is this a code word for something that republicans really want to say, becaues if not just turn in your social security card, no medicare, no post office, no military lets just go back to being barbarians.
Give President Obama a chance he can’t be worse than the last president that we had and for that we should all be thankful

Never let a good crisis go to waste! Well Obama is not letting this one go to waste at all !!!

“Listen folks. What has taken 20 years to break isn’t going to be repaired in 60 days. There will be plenty of time to judge Obama’s agenda. Most of the folks making the judgements now are doing so for political or idealogical reasons. I believe the president should set the agenda and Obama has done that agressively. How much he pushes and accomplishes will vary and I am sure his number priority will always be the economy. So, you conservatives can rant all they want….but most reasonable folks are willing to give Obama a reasonable amount of time to be successful”
You are right…it wont be fixed in that space of time, but sure can be made WORSE by running around like a headless chicken just slopping money at every possible thing under the sun.
The is pleanty of time to work on heathcare. IT IS NOT the priority now!
Fixing the banks/financial institutions MUST be done first. This is why the markets have fallen. They see ZERO from this adminstration in regards to a solution for the banks. Hence these huge market drops every time Geithner gets near a microphone! The boys genious has no idea what to do, so Plan B is to move ahead on all the other fronts while geither goes back to the UPS white board!

We just got rid of one narcassist and got another. I do not find BO to be an effective speaker with or without the teleprompter, very boring.
I am also very tired of the continuing media bias. You got him elected, now quit saying he has only been working for 7 weeks. That is not true. The minute he was elected, he started appointing his staff and working on his policy changes.
The media has also played into this Rush Limbaugh thing to the point that it is ridiculous. Is this a ploy to get the attention away from the economic strife, so that more pork spending can get passed right under our noses ? Where is all the promised transparency ? Then there are the claims that no one knowa where the bailout funds went, while airing on 20/20 the prostitutes providing services to Wall Street while billing their corporate cards. Is this how the BO media proposes to gain trust ? I think not. BO has no experience, but please stop with the excuses. You can only lick your young sooooo long.

Bush knew how to navigate the US out of dire financial distress after 9/11. Turns out his MBA from Yale paid off. obama has not clue one how to manage this economy. He’s so over his head and let’s face it the country is in the hands of the extreme Democrat Left and anyone else who gives obama his daily instructions. What a frigging disaster this man is.

There is a much more interesting story on drudge report – Headline :
Obama musters campaign army for economic fight. The comments are hilarious

It seems to me that the country is facing multiple, interwoven problems and it will take both time and working on several fronts simultaneously by this administration to address them. I anticipate that results (success or failure) will be uneven and occur at different times. While the economomy and banking issue is our primary issue, other issues such as health care, the wars, education and the environment affect our recovery. As an example, health care costs currently affect business growth at about an 11 to 12 percent annual increase. These expenditures divert money that businesses would use to invest and grow. Shifting the costs to individuals and/employees means that more and more people have no coverage and their costs somehow will shift to the public or they will simply do without. Frankly, raising the spector and concern about the administration working on too many fronts at once is a red herring. It would be one thing if these were trivial issues but each contributes in their own way to our dilemma.

I find it amazing that some people(you know who you are) still are unwilling to give Mr. Obama a chance. Forget the fact that he’s black. Forget that he’s a Democrat. The man is very smart, articulate and knows the political game. Maybe not very experienced, but what president goes into office knowing everything? Certainly not George Bush who’s an amoeba compared to our current President. I wonder what you naysayers would say if McCain were in office? Would things then be peachy keen?

I am not a violent person but if i hear one more person says we need to forget Obama is black i am going to punch them in the mouth… I could care less what color the man is but he has no clue what he is doing..We don’t know if he is smart, he sealed his college records…People who know him in Chicago say he is a big mouth in a suit.. He is arrogant, mouthy, petty, childish and needs to grow up before he can run the country..And NO i did not vote for him,, I saw thru him from the first….God Help us….
