Biden on 2010: If GOP Succeeds, It’s ‘The End of the Road for What Barack and I Are Trying to Do’

By just reading the headline of this article, one would want to ask Biden, what exactly is it you are “trying
to do”? If you mean bankrupting the country, giving government control in citizens health care, redistributing wealth, appeasing our enemies, making us vulerable to terrorists, covering up for radicals and radical organizations (can anyone say ACORN?), and so on and so on, then don’t worry. The Republicans won’t stop anything in 2010. This administration will have already destroyed us by then.

Finally a Biden gaffe I can get behind.

This country has already been dumbed down… they will keep the democrats in office.
Obama already said he was going to be POTUS for a long time… so he knows who to buy and how much it will cost him… he already started buying them off..
Just another scare tactic by the Obama administration.
And it will work

He is right and it will happen. From porkulus, outrageous deficits, cap and tax, and socialized medicine, Obama has created a disaster. He can’t put this disaster on Bush because he owns it 100%. Obama is finished.

First the Astros fire Coop…now this. It’s totally my day!

To Proud Liberal. You must be proud
of your guy because he is on the road
to destroying this country in 8 months
instead of the 8 years it took Bush.
Obama never met a dollar he did not
want to spend or tax so he makes Bush
look like a pauper. Obama has bailed
everyone else out except the banks so
how is that a good thing?

blaming bush for the bailouts? my memory has obama insisting on that AND voting for it.. along with john mclame i might add… and spending more than bush did debunks the whole argument. FAIL.

Also, Republicans have a terminal case of denial: they believe that others are destroying the nation when in fact it is they themselves who have bankrupted it again and again.

OK, then let’s hope joe is correct this time so both he and Obama can go back to doing whatever it is they do well.

Thats the idea, Joe!!

spending is not the strategy to “fixing anything” JLS1950B…My I ask what you have done personally in these recession times? Spent your way out?? Doubt it. This administration has rookie written all over it. BOJoe is wrong, Pelosi is rotting Dem’s chance from the inside, and both sides of the isle could use a thorough cleansing. Here’s to a third party soon enough…

I hope we get some really good Republican candidates for office that we can get behind and make some real change that we can live with. It will be a very hard job to straighten out the mess the country is in now. Maybe we can get some people in that can read the bills before they vote on them.

So if democrats hold onto filibuster proof control it is somehow bipartisan? Riiiggghhhtttt…

Where do you get your facts from? Fox?
Fact: $700b was presented to congress and signed by Pres. Bush last fall. Yes the then Senator Obama voted for it but he was only a senator. Bush wrote the bill and he signed it into law.
Bush came into office with a surplus and left by doubling the national debt from $4 trillion to $8 trillion. He spent almost a trillion on Iraq and plunged the country into the deepest recession after the great depression.
If repubs repeat lies so many times, you begin to believe it.
And oh.. Obama is here to clean Bush and the republicans mess. It always takes dems to clean this kind of mess.

“Boosh and republicans already bankrupted America by taking the federal debt from $4 trillion to $8 trillion.”
So Obama’s solution is to take it to $17 Trillion.
Sorry, but if you claim that deficits are bad, you simply cannot defend Obama’s fiscal policy.
The end of everything Obama and Biden is devoutly to be hoped for, particularly cap-and-trade, federal destruction of the doctor-patient relationship, and the willful abandonment of American influence abroad.
The GOP doesn’t need to get 40 seats to bring this insanity to a halt; 25 would be enough, given the sensible Blue Dogs. And that way they’d still have Pelosi to campaign against in 2012.
I believe that the reconciliation process, if it is to be used, must be used by October 15. Correct? If so, how many think the Senate will have something they can ram through by then?

OK

I guess Joe is talking over my head again. I can’t see the bad side of the end of the Obama agenda. Wouldn’t it be a good thing to stop gutting our military, to build our economy back up, to let freedom ring out, and to take those thugs from Chicago and put them in jail. Where is the downside Joe?

Glenn Beck tonight had the best interview with Obama by far. Since he won’t go on a show and answer honest questions, Glenn showed what he has said in the recent past, instead of the spin OB had his lap dogs ask. LMAO

It’s over for the Dems; the Big O has ruined it; we’re sick of him and them! Biden says: “a new era of bipartisanship will begin” referring to the Dems not losing seats in 2010. I thought Obama was going to unite us upon election and the bipartianship would already be in place!!?? Didn’t happen and won’t happen as long as The Arrogant One is in power. Come on 2010 and 2012. Recycle our government; it’s trash right now!

If you’d stop the govt takeover of everything, you may not have to worry about Republicans being voted back in. It’s your actions causing the exodus.

From his flappy lips to Gods ear…

whew. 2010 can’t come too soon.

joe I pray to God you are right.

“Biden said that if GOP Succeeds, It’s ‘The End of the Road for What Barack and I Are Trying to Do in 2010″
POOR BARACK/BIDEN !!! IT SOUNDS BOTH OF YOU HAVE TOTALLY DROPPED YOUR LEADERSHIP TO LEAD BYPARTISANSHIP. AMERICA SHOULD BE OVER THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRAINING CENTER FOR BARACK AND BIDEN IN 2010.

Proud Liberal – And while you make sure no one breaks the law, you ignore those plotting violence on this country. We are so back to a 9/10/01 mentality, I can’t even believe it. You guys live in a fantasy land where you think things are going to be better because “everyone will get along”. That’s not the way the world works.
Stop with the torture talk. The waterboarding worked and got the job done. What you guys didn’t like was that it kept lawyers out of the mix. Democrats are more worried about the rights of terrorists than about the victims of these animals.
Speaking of politicians breaking the law… Seen the news regarding Acorn and all the voter fraud and other nefarious activities? Strange silence coming from your side of the aisle there Liberal.

Lets see if ACORN meets the same fate as Blago. Lets see if the ACORN name is left twisting in the wind while their human capital is redistributed to other organizations for a 2110 election assult on Citizen Voters.

It’s about time. We can’t afford people like you two.

The timing of it tells all—Yes Biden is right to be concerned. The tea party movement, SEIU and Czars under scrutiny, and of course ACORN will be too busy being investigated to help all those Dems get elected. If I were Joe I’d be worried too.

Oh sheesh. This malarkey again. What about the Fed that kept the interest rates too low, and whose appointees were in charge of the Fed again? Oh right, Bush’s.
To the extent that there were mistakes in housing policy , those were committed by Bush political appointees at HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other agencies.
Posted by: Alyson |
Bush nominated Greenspan in May 2004. Interest rates were at rock bottom long before that. Is that really your lead for the financial meltdown?
Bush political appointees at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Really?

Well, as I read this article, ABCNEWS and the rest of the DNC better get busy!! We definitely don’t want an administration that will meet the worst Dictators without pre-conditions, but is afraid of going on FoxNews and being asked real questions during an interview. Just because more Democrats watch FoxNews then any other cable network, (Fox News is by far the most watched cable news network in the country (and the third highest rated channel on basic cable to boot). According to Nielsen ratings for last month, Fox’s viewership during primetime (1.6 million) beat both CNN (780,000) and MSNBC (464,000) combined. The same is true for Fox’s total day viewership (894,000) versus CNN (520,000) and MSNBC (339,000). And in the Las Vegas market, Fox’s audience is about 30 percent higher than CNN.
It is well understood that Fox’s normal viewers are not typical Democratic voters. But contrary to the caricature drawn by the Netroots, nor are they typically raving right-wingers. In fact, according to a study by Mediamark Research, only 38 percent of Fox News viewers self-identified as conservative. In terms of sheer numbers, that means the non-conservative audience for Fox tops CNN’s total viewership…………The largest share of its audience – 38% — were Republicans, followed by Democrats (31%) and independents (22%).
Interesting. That 38% figure tracks exactly with the MediaMark study. And at 53%, more Democrats and Independents watch Fox than do Republicans.
In Q2, 2008 Fox News Channel averaged 1,585,000 viewers. CNN: 961,000, MSNBC: 685,000. So according to the PEW survey, how many of these are Democrats? Numbers don’t lie:
• FNC (31% Democratic): 491,350 Dem viewers
• CNN (45% Democratic): 432,450 Dem viewers
• MSNBC (48% Democratic): 328,800 Dem viewers
Yes, it’s true. More Democrats watch Fox News Channel than either CNN or MSNBC. And the Kossacks, blue blogs, and Fox haters who try to tell you otherwise are just plain wrong.
) and trust it more (Sacred Heart Poll As to Fox News, 48.7% felt it was right leaning, but the cable newser got the highest vote for accuracy in reporting. Fox News got 27% of the poll for accuracy, while CNN received 14.6%, NBC got 10.9%, ABC 7%, local news 6.9%, CBS News 6.8%, MSNBC 4%, PBS News 3%, and CNBC .6%. ) then any network, doesn’t mean that they have the guts to go there and sell their program!! LOL

Both parties doth collude against you. Neither party truly has the America that we idolize in or minds at heart. Lawyers on one side, bankers on the other, and you, the regular person who works 9 – 5 (hopefully, unless you’ve been laid off) are the ones who get suckered.
You really think George Soros has your best interests at heart? :-)
You really think Warren Buffet has your best interests at heart? :-)
You’re all fools.

Veteran38, I total agree with your accessment, these are the same wolves in sheep Clothing, but if my some fluke we do blow it, this chance will not come again, I guess we would be back to fighting more wars and drill baby drill and every city will have their very own nuclear power plant, and we will fall back to the mercy of the oil companies, and the insurance companies will say all is well let’s finish sheering the sheep>>>>I’m trying to wake up from the nightmare.

You see what I mean read the Posted by: Jon, dreams of war and torture, they drooping to get back at it.

None of this is about Democrats or Republicans. So let us dispense with the political BS and get down to common sense lingo.
I can’t affort health care. If one of my family gets sick then it comes out of my pocket. All the empty promises from our government are not going to change that fact. Mandatory healthcare is not going to change that fact. So I take my chances like most of the Americans in this country and pray that I can make it through another year without a catastrophic illness in the family.
I was furious to hear a Mexican Catholic Cardinal recently state that illegal immigrants should get health care coverage. He said “they are people, too”. I would be willing to bet that the “Cardinal” eats well, and has his healthcare coverd by the church…just like congress is covered by our tax dollars. Plenty for them…none for us.
I believe Barack Obama honestly thinks he has the plan. Unfortunately, there is not enough money to pay for his dream. It did not work in the Soviet Union and it won’t work here.
Eat healthy, exercise, and keep a good mental outlook on life. Above all, maintain faith in your family.

Love how you ignore the rest of it.

Did it get accurate later?

If we could trust Congress and the Executive to absolutely and completly stop sending our tax money to ACORN, then ACORN would likely disappear, and a Congressional investigation would be a waste of money. However, our Congress and Executive would not and will not ever cut off the money because of ACORN’s political power. Having said that, if there is a congressional investigation, its only result will be to “whitewash” ACORN’s previous history, blaming all of its transgressions on people who have been fired, and the money will keep flowing. Congress will never begin a line of questioning that would result in ACORN being considered intrinsically and culturally corrupt, even though the people of the United States believe that to be so. ABC in Obama’s pocket!!

So there you see it !!

What you and Barack are trying to do? MR. Biden you’re not doing anything you idiot. We need the republicans to save us from tax hikes and socialized medicine. Obama you have only been president a couple months and you’ve already spent tons and tons of money, that doesnt sound like the right direction to me.

PEOPLE… EDUCATE YOURSELVES, WATCH WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON, USE THE RESOURCES…THIS COUNTRY IS DIEING AND COMMUNISIM IS HALF WAY IN THE DOOR. WE ARE IN REAL TROUBLE, DROP THE EMOTIONS AND STUDY THE FACTS…FREEDOM IS LIKE A LOOSE TOOTH, IN YOUR HOME, IN YOUR SCHOOLS, IN YOUR LIFE AND THE FUTURE LIVES OF ALL, THE NEW’GREEN’ IS THE NEW ‘RED’, ONE MORE WAY TO CONTROL ALL

I read the Posted by: Pascale, even he or she see the same result, if by chance the Republican regain power, People they haven’t changed any, they believe in doing nothing as far as America’s Infrastructures is concerned, but the Republican are drooping to purchases more missles, if it happens we can start that doom day clock up again they use to talk alot about, let me ask you this question, Sense the election of President Barrack Obama has anyone even thought about a doomday clock? put Republicans back in charge and it will start again.

Oh I sure hope the Republicans win from now on. We’re better off with just one party in control and I don’t mean Democrats. There are many countries that we need to establish democracies in and only the Republicans are willing to do it.

Yep Joe – that’s what we’re hoping for .. the end of YOUR agenda!

oh and let me add more you trying to get rid of Missile Shield while Iran has ability to make nuclear bomb, denies the holocaust. While the administration goes on apology tours. Good i hope the GOP does win because you sure aren’t solving any problems.

As an independent I believe I could vote republican to implement the “end of the road” for What Barack and Biden are trying to do.
I would hope the republicans come up with viable candidates, but we badly need a change!
We should clean the House in 2010 along with one third of the Senate. We also need to be building up support for term limits (two terms at most) to end the seniority and graft. Get them out of their comfort zone, call them home and let them get a life!

There are many countries that we need to establish democracies in and only the Republicans are willing to do it.

Yep. And, seriously, who cares if at home the infrastructure goes to pot and we privatize everything and the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the middle class disappears and millions more are uninsured and we’re not much of a democracy anymore but more of a corporate welfare state– heck, we’ll just throw the poor into the military and send them around the world. As long as corporations prosper and, you know, we’re all independent and pursuing our self-interests and beholden to no one, particularly each other… we’ll teach everyone how to fish, darn it…not that there will be any clean water to fish in…
Posted by: Alyson | Sep 21, 2009 9:26:10 PM
~~~~~ Don’t worry alyson you will have plenty of fish because the environmental wackos are saving fish and closed down water in Californian for farmers and they can’t produce crops but hey the fish are endangered species.

-we’ll just throw the poor into the military and send them around the world-
Sounds like a plan Barry can endorse. Remind me again why we’re still in Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh yeah, like you said earlier today, we “need” to be there.

If you are reading this message and believe in the job President Obama is doing, do me a favor and Pray for the President that his good effort will succeed,I really do mean it, Pray for the President, if you are atheist send a shout out to the Universe that this President will succeed,pass it on.

If Repubs regain control of anything, America’s screwed. We’re trying to dig our way out from under the mess the Repubs created in this country the last eight years. When Bush became President of this country, we were involved in no wars and the economy was striving. Three years after he become president, we’re involved in two wars with the economy tanking and America on the verge of collapse. People in this country are not going to forget the mess that Bush created any time soon.

I personally don’t care if the Dems win or the Republicans win. Between my husband and I, we hold five college degrees. Even in a tough economy, we are far better off than the average American. We historically vote Democrat because we feel they have sound social policies domestically and fair diplomatic policies internationally. I feel that if The People vote in the Republicans, then they get what they deserve. (ie, this current mess courtesy of G.W.) I think Obama is doing a good job & if given enough time he can undo the immense damage that Bush/Cheney did to this country. If The People don’t allow it, then that’s their problem, their starvation and their forclosures. Let them have it, if that’s what they want. We’ll be fine either way.

Go easy on Alyson. She obviously hasn’t heard that those windmills are finally being built within sight of the Kennedy compound, the view be damned! And Al Gore has stopped using a Gulfstream.

For the POTUS to appear in 5 talk shows in
one weekend makes him look desperate, Poll numbers continue to go down. The Obama/Baucus healthcare bill is not what Americans were expecting. Obama is ovrexposed and not very presidential. He is more like the used car salesman trying to sell you a lemon.

the democrats now control the executive branch, and both houses of congress with overwhelming majorities. we know that what they want is total one party rule with no accountability or restraint. they do not want democracy. they want the freedom to have complete reign. if they could,they would glady eliminate the entire constitution and create a new government which would ensure their neverending rule. since that is not possible at the moment, they are using all other means possible to accomplish this and they cant hide such a large scale usurption of the country that we all have rights to have a voice in.

good old “Stand up Chuck” Joe Biden… what an idiot lmao…Pataki to Obama: Stop meddling in NYs Affairs

…Obama is expecting the American people to believe the same hogwash that they did last November…He actually expects us to believe that he didn’t know ACORN was getting Federal Funds???? You idiots picked a real winner with this one. Georgie Soros is proud of you.

“The end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do…”? What? Perhaps the destruction of this country can be averted if clueless Joe and Mr. Empty Suit are rendered powerless. This state has over 10% unemployment, cash for clunkers brought only some activity for a brief moment, and the three stooges of Reid, Pelosi, and Obama are trying to ram this so-called healthcare reform down our throats. At the moment, even before the so-called healthcare reform is enacted, we’re projected to be in debt for nearly $10 trillion dollars at a future date. Then Joe is now crying how he and his dance partner’s agenda will be derailed? I jump for joy for that to happen! 2010 cannot be soon enough for me. I might even send a few bucks to the Republicans and I don’t even like them!

Joe is getting a bit nervous..And WITH GOD’s Help, their Socialist Agenda will be stopped in the next election. Dem’s have just proven to the entire country, that they do not have a CLUE on how to run this country. They are bitter, and are still BLAMING. We need to move forward, not blame . THEY are not willing to even work with Republican members of congress. The Republicans have not been able to meet with obama at all regarding the health care “reform”/Takeover. obama says he will reach across the aisle.. And as of yet, HAS not! Republicans are the ones who will take many seats next election, and Dems can blame themselves this time around.

As an Independent I’m going to vote for anyone that runs in support of Ron Paul’s agenda. I hope all the Dems are run out of Washington on a rail.
I’d like to see Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Feinstein and all of their band of crooks run completely out of politics and prosecuted or jailed but I don’t want my tax dollars supporting them. Let their lifetime salaries pay for their injustices to America.

Only Joe Biden could explain that in order to have bipartisan ship, the Democrats need to maintain complete control over everything.

Divided government is good. When they’re fighting each other, they’re not screwing US.

Impeach!

Oh you hopeless Republicans, right now you think you got the tiger by the tail,you think you have found this President Achilles heal but you are wrong, I’ll leave it there for now.

Its a ploy being played again by Axelrod trying to make people feel sorry for them. But its not going to work because this czar named Obama is evil. Just look at ACORN scansal, not listening to his military leaders and not providing our troops with what they need to succeed killing our troops because of his agenda, not supporting Isreal, throwing our Europe allies under the bus, spending our great, great, great grandchildren monies with multi trillion dollar deficits, trying to takeover the media with bailouts, using Chicago type politics with the NEA and the arts to put out his agenda and this is just a small list of his agenda because I got tired of typing. I think 2010 is not soon enough to end this dictators reign!

ABC news be warned. allowing free expression by those opposing President Obama will not go unpunished.

at a fundraiser for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) today in Greenville, Delaware
How many Arizonans live in Delaware?

From your mouth to God’s ear, Joe Biden. May it be so.

Biden is a plagiarist, a buffoon, and a liar. What a disgrace to our country.

You know everyone keeps talking about impeaching Barack and everyone else, but why? If he and the rest of dems are not able to do the right thing for people like me, I will eventually die of an ASTHMA Attack, because many insurance agencies have denied me, due to all the medication I have to take. You all talk about how the President hasn’t done anything, but made things worst for us, but what about all the others before him and I am not just talking about former president George Bush?
What could Clinton, Bush(the father), Bush(the son), and so many others before him could have done to keep us from being like we are now? What did we miss when it came to the things they said?
Now I am sure that you all have made up your minds about how you feel about the President and all, but please think about people like me. Who don’t want a handout, but would like to be treated the same when it comes to healthcare.

The Democrats have been squandering their opportunity for quite some time, starting with making a lefty nut job like Pelosi speaker of the House. It they had not let their party be hijacked by the extreme left, like the GOP let theirs be hijacked by the extreme right, they’d have gotten a lot of positive things done. But the Democrats have proven themselves even more small minded that the GOP. which is quite an accomplishment.

Mike – You are so right-I actually miss the days of nothing getting done – at least it was better than trillions and trillions in debt- the beginning of healthcare rationing, and higher taxes ofr all – even for those that make under $250,000.00 per year.

Angela, Mike: I second that – gridlock is a great way to stop spending money.

JOe Biden is just a farce in the crowd! OOPS did I say “farce”, I meant “face”. ONly thing worse than impeaching Obama would be to get Biden to be Prez. And worse than that— PELOSI is in third place!!! OMG. I would move to Canada– national health care and all.

biden is an idiot!! I can’t wait until the republicans take over the seats, maybe we will get this country back on coarse and get our FREEDOM back!! obama IM TIRED OF HIS LIES!!! I CANT WAIT UNTIL HE IS GONE!!

++++++What freedom of yours has been taken away that you had before? You do realize that you are wanting to go back to what got us in this mess. The Dems have gotten the economy on track and now that it’s back on track, you want to disrupt it again? I don’t understand your way of thinking or the lack therof.

If the Republicans win, we will go back to big war spending. Health insurance will be so expensive. The CEOs and their friends in the Congress will continue making money while the American people will not be able to buy health insurance. This country will be the next developing country. Wait and see. We will go back to the terrble 8 years of George W. Bush.

Not to change the subject – But He who laughs last, laughs Best. I bet Hillary is Laughing her buns off!

i am counting on it. Maybe we can get our business back growing again if we can stop the Obama socialist agenda.
Posted by: brian | Sep 21, 2009 10:46:01 PM
+++++++++++++ Not one Rep Senator will say the Obama is a Socialist. Please tell me what gives you greater insight than they have? I want specifics but before that, maybe you should look up the definition of socialism.

“If GOP succeeds”? Kind of like: “If the sun comes up in the morning.”
Americans didn’t vote for Obama. In a cleverly run campaign he led them to vote against GW Bush. Brilliant strategy and it worked. The administration didn’t.
Now the backlash begins. Americans are finding out they don’t like Obama any more than they did GWB. Maybe less. The promises he made aren’t happening. The things he is pushing, we don’t like. The things he talks about, we fear.
Everyone wants health care. To say it can be paid for without any tax increase is ludicrous. There is no free lunch. All tax increases are passed to the consumer one way or another so at least be honest, it will cost working Americans. Question is, how much? By limiting coverage to CITIZENS the cost can be driven down to a manageable level. If Obama does that is will be begrudgingly. .
American citizens don’t want another amnesty bill. Obama promises “immigration reform”. Same thing.
We want secure borders. Obama can’t say he’s take giant steps in that regard.
Sales of guns and ammo along with several polls should tell Obama how we feel about gun control. We know his agenda.
He promised to kill Osama and bring troops home. Not yet.
Obama is a great charismatic speaker but that only goes so far. Bush damaged the Republican party and that cost votes. Now Obama has damaged the Democratic party. The result will be simular.

“If the Republicans win, we will go back to big war spending.”
Thankfully, nothing going on in Iraq or Afghanistan now. Hope the ‘pubs don’t get back in power. They’ll start those wars up again right quick!

If President Obama and Vice President Biden fail the whole country will fail and global government moves in. Forget about the constitution. You’ll have no rights except for what the corporations give you. You will be a resource not a person.

Finally something I can agree with Biden about. Maybe he occasionally can say something intelligent!!

Supernova…. you are so right and I thank you for really listening and reading what I had to say

After the mess and economic damage the Democrats have done to America since they seized control of Congress, it would’nt be suprised if they lose many seats.

I think Pelosi already has brought the end of the road.

LMAO!! With the unemployment rate at record levels at above 10% and increasing, sure the Dems have done have a spectacular job with the economy.
Posted by: Gregh | Sep 21, 2009 11:10:43 PM+++++++++ the current unemployment rate is at 9.7%. The eexact same rate as it was two years in to Reagan’s first term and he was still blaming carter. TWO YEARS. It takes about 12-18 months for policy changes to take effect and unemployment rates are always the last to change. If you knew anything about the economy you would know that. 2nd… The stock market at it’s highest in Oct 2007 at 13,930 dropped to about 8k in Jan 09 when Bush left office. A net loss of almost 6k points. Just since Obama took office in 10 months it’s gone up almost 1800 points. Yup…Obama is an utter failure. Nevermind that he had to wait a few month for the market to react to his policy changes and it continued to drop after Bush left to a low of 6,500 in Mar. That’s actually a gain of 3300 points since Feb. Once again…how dare Obama do anything to fix what Bush put in place. You are wrong. I am right. I’m rubber and you’re glue.

After the mess and economic damage the Democrats have done to America since they seized control of Congress, it would’nt be suprised if they lose many seats.
Posted by: Gregh | Sep 21, 2009 11:08:51 PM
++++++++ You do realize that Bush didn’t include the budget of the wars in the national budgetary numbers right? Once Obama corrected that smoke and mirror trick, he showed how much over we really were. If no action had been taken to fix the economy, we would have continued to go down. Please learn what you are arguing against or at least have some numbers to back it up.

Just because Joe is afraid and pulling a left glenn beck move does not mean the rest of us should be afraid. So far, the house dems have done NOTHING to show they should be in power still. Clinton and the country did much BETTER when we had divided government.
Given what the party in control of the WH and Congress at the same times does for the country, its time to go back to divided governing. At least that way the moderates have a shot.

In Case Of Emergancy….. Obama out….. Clinton In.

I guess Biden thinks this will rally the Democrats. But many of them aren’t too happy with Obama either.

What Biden doesn’t seem to grasp is that they have ALREADY lost the Independents that were SOLELY responsible for putting them both in office, AND handing them a majority in both houses of Congress.
We won’t be that stupid on 2 November 2010. Of THAT he can be certain.
I’m surprised he blurted it out, though. It gives perfect clarity as to why this “change” HAS to happen NOW!!! If it doesn’t happen by 2 November 2010, they’ll never get it past the unsuspecting “We the People.”
You fooled us ONCE, shame on you!! If you fool us twice, SHAME ON US!!!

HOO-RAY !! If it’s the end of the President’s Agenda.

“Let’s get the new jobs going to replace the ones that left in the last decade.”
Right. The government’s always great at doing that–what a wonderful track record they have.
Want to increase jobs? Then don’t raise the minimum wage. Don’t let the Bush tax cuts expire. Don’t impose cap and trade. Don’t force people to buy health insurance against their will.
Let failing companies proceed with bankruptcy and clear the market.
In January the administration told us that without a stimulus unemployment would rise to 8%. The CBO told us that the recession would end in the third quarter without a stimulus. The third quarter ends next week and the recession may or may not be over, but we have 9.7% unemployment and a useless addition of $787 Billion to the deficit. That’s more than Bush spent on the Iraq war, which at least got rid of the most destabilizing and bellicose regime in the Middle East, got Saddam hanged, and resulted in a democratic ally in the region.

Republican or Democrat agenda? Are they so narrow minded to forget about the independents that find both parties repugnant and irresponsible? Independents voted for Obama because there was a genuine hope that we were electing an intelligent president that would server and protect the fiscal health and security of the”United States” of America. Instead he has sold out to special interest, overstepped federal authority, enacted financial incentives that profited foreign companies and investors (i.e.Cash for Clunkers), protected greedy executives and ignored the expendable working class, worked to increase the dole to the growing ranks of his newly unemployed and entitlement class. We don’t need the federal government to dole out money and services. We need the government to protect American jobs and provide “work” incentives. Increasing Taxation on the shrinking ranks of the working class to cover a growing dole to cover entitlements is wrong headed and treasonous.

“If no action had been taken to fix the economy, we would have continued to go down. ”
He did do something (the stimulus and the bailouts of the banks, insurance companies and auto companies). These were exactly the wrong things to do, and as a result the economy continued to go down–much worse than the CBO said it would do without the stimulus.
Please learn what you are arguing against or at least have some numbers to back it up.

That’s more than Bush spent on the Iraq war, which at least got rid of the most destabilizing and bellicose regime in the Middle East, got Saddam hanged, and resulted in a democratic ally in the region.

As a 10 year Marine veteran and an Iraqi war veteran, I can tell you that if you believe Iraq is an ally…you are looney. We had no business going there and many of my men we hurt or killed. The world isn’t safer because Hussein is gone….many many many more Iraqis have been killed since the war started then Saddam killed. There were no WMD’s. It was a false pretense. The reason you are unware of how much the war cost is because Bush burried the cost of the war by not including it in the national budget. Obama is now including the cost of both wars in the budget. The true cost of the war won’t be known for generations as the Marines and soldiers who return that aren’t as productive because of PTSD, or a loss of limb or in my case reduction of hearing. I would gladly fight for my country if I felt it was justified. I did my time over there with 90 Marines under my care and I didn’t once let them know how I felt because I didn’t want to bring down morale.

We can always hope that real change will occur in 2010!

Thanks, Norm for saying what I would’ve said if I’d gotten here first. It’s the un/under-educated masses who seem to think a POTUS has the power to snap his fingers and make all the mistakes of the last 8 years just go away. And if he *doesn’t* snap his fingers to correct it all right this minute, then he must be lying, right? **eyeroll***If anyone would trouble themselves to read what Biden said, it is this: once Republicans see that they aren’t going to get those seats back, they’ll start voting the way they have wanted to these last 8 months. And those same masses are mouthing the words of Beck because it’s easier than forming your own opinions.

To Chuck S – I just want to Thankyou for your serverice as a Marine and Iraqi War Vet. May God Bless You.

Thanks Ohio C.

The the Democrats accused Cheney and McCain of fear mongering? Biden and the rest of the loudmouth libs: don’t cry foul when you yourself are dishing it out.

Mike B, grownups recognize that it takes time to correct the failures left by the previous administration. Period. No Kool-Aid, just time.

There will be a lost of some Democrats due to the radical moves made by this administration and the high unemployment rate.

You can blame the high unemployment rate on the republicans putting Bush back in for a second term. It would be beyond stupid to put republicans back in power anytime soon. What Obama is doing is working. The stock market crashes have stopped, the banks failing have stopped. Bush threw money at the problem too but without the brains behind it, the know how, the stress tests obama made part of the package, the officials going in and going through the banks records and seeing what they were actually calling ‘debt’ or ‘assets’ or ‘capital’ …without brains, you lose. I dont think they will lose seats. Ithink when it’s really time to vote, every voter will remember what it felt like when the stock market was crashing every day, and Bush said the fundamentals of the economy were sound, and McCAin was calling for the arrest of the SEC because he didn’t understand this was all legal due to their insistence that no regulations was a great policy….you want that again???? you want 25% unemployment like during hte Depression. Hoover took a recession and turned it into a Depression by cutting spending and trying to balance the budget with 10% unemployment after a stock market crash. What happened? 25% unemployment. you want that? Then vote republican.

All the leading indicators show that recovery is around the corner – LEADING indicators, meaning, the first ones in the cycle. The stock market is back up, banks are healthy, credit is starting to move again, the numbers of unemployed being laid off each month has been dropping and hopefully, ifthe same trend continues, it will bottom out, stop, and then rehiring will begin. Businesses are starting to reinvest in themselves, consumer purchasing keep going up, tiny bit by tiny bit. So soon ,seven months after the free fall, things are moving in the right direction. Why would anyone want to change that or change who was driving while who stopped the free fall and got things going again. Who would want to put us back on the path we came from thta drove us over the cliff???? no, i can’t believe it. There are nuts, nad they are loud, but the silent majority will protect the fragile recovery we are in and keep dems in place until we’re out of this.

LOL!!! said that backwards. Should have read “i’m AM voting straight democrat” never did before. now its a must. dont want to go back to where we came from.

Interesting how easily people are manipulated into the ridiculous blame game. Let’s bite the bullet and truly sacrifice to save our future. Let’s cut spending AND raise taxes until the national debt is paid off. Let’s raise tarriffs against any country who is exporting more TO us that importing FROM us. Let’s end gerrymandering. Let’s end any campaign contribution over $100 (personal, corporate, etc). Let’s require all govt officials discussions with lobbyists be tape recorded and filed for public record. Let’s set legal standards for what qualifies as “news” reporting on public airwaves and put 95% of the pundits on Fox, MSNBC, etc out on the streets to do some real reporting for once. Too bad these things will never happen because those in power have everyone fighting each other on the little issues while they rob us blind on the big issues. Good luck America

banks are healthy,
Posted by: R U kidding me
some signs are def positive…
much as I’d like to agree with you…
the financial folks who got us into this mess are back at it and doing the same stuff and worse…until there is real hard regulation and an elimination of the ‘too big to fail’ concept, we are no better off….. and inches away from the economic abyss

Damn GOP, the majority in Congress messing things up again. ????????
JUst who is the majority in congress?
Nancy and her group!!!! And yes, they are messing things up!!

We can only hope that we sidetrack what ObamaBiden want to do to us. I cannot think of any postive action our President has caused since his election. Name 1 item that promotes any liberty for any of us. Left unchecked with the media at his side, we could quickly move past socialism if the Obamination Agenda is implemented

This article brought out the right wing fire breathers in droves. I get so sick of all the distortions and hatred…what a nightmare world they live in!

Best we can hope for is term limits. I don’t think any of the politicians or pundits want America to fail as a country but it seems obvious the Dems prefer socialism over true freedom. Obama said it best when he said people aren’t arguing about race they are arguin about what the governments role should be. I prefer less government in my personal life and appropriate oversight on publicly traded companies.

@mcrich: Name one thing Obama’s done for our freedom?
How about closing Guantanamo and reinstating habeus corpus? How about trying to make health insurance available and affordable for all (every other industrialized nation in the world manages this)? Reining in Patriot Act provisions that allow the federal government to snoop on its citizens?

Actually Hover did increase spending and ran a deficit, but the federal government was so small at that point that reductions at state and local levels completely offset it. I think Hover’s major failure was to completely ignore the financial sector, banks failed and a deflationary spiral resulted. Roosevelt’s bank Holiday and extensive reforms to the financial sector were in my opinion the main things that turned things around. Thus I think the Stimulus package and to a degree any amount of deficit spending will fail unless its paired with DEEP banking reform (such as Swedish-style bank nationalization which Krugy advocated back in December of last year)

Folks seem to have forgotten that the Republicans have ruled the presidency and the seats that count for “changes” for over 20 years and what we have is the culmination of all financial and every problems. The Dems had it for good 8 years and the deficit disappeared. Now you blame a Democrat for all the ills. Go figure..

Oh Boo Hoo Biden. We’re now lead by life long bureaucratic boneheads in both of our pathetic political parties and we’re well on our way to becoming a very large bannana socialist republic. I don’t see a particular advantage in the domination of either party. Both do far more to divide Americans than to unite us. It’s best when the 2 parties are in balance preventing either from enacting too much of their own PORK projects. Bipartisanship is a joke; usually means one chump has paid off another in some fashion for cooperation or silence.

The Mumbas are going to win, because their package of “Addiction to the Dependency on the continued Benevolence of your Federal Government” is too pretty and shiny to discard. The majority of those voting in elections today wish to be taken care of —Cradle-To-Grave— and Obama, and his Mumba-Allies, are more than delighted to provide this.
One question? If everyone is being taken care of, ummm, who’s out there earning money for the Tax-Collector’s-Trough? Would that well-oiled team [Let’s see now? There’s Pelosi, Frank, Bernanke, Geithner, Summers, and all those members of “Obama’s-Posse” tweeting away to rally the troops.] care to answer?
And let us not forget to mention ACORN … Whoops, maybe we better leave that one out?

OBAMA WANTS TO UNITE BOTH PARTIES? UNITE FOR WHAT – SOCIALISM?? NO WAY!!!! THE MAKEUP OF CONGRESS IS CHANGING AS WE SPEAK. FORGET DEMS AND GOP. THIS HAS GOTTEN SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT IT IS BECOMING LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE – WAY OVERDUE!!!!!

“NEWS FLASH, Biden!! It’s ALREADY the end of the road, you and Barry are just too damned stupid to see it!!! WE’RE ON TO YOU!!! Some of us even BEFORE you were elected, but now the MAJORITY of us see through your “transparency.” Bye bye!!!!”
According to a recent USA Today/Gallup poll, 72% of Americans say Obama “is willing to make hard decisions,” and 66% describe him as “a strong and decisive leader.” 64% think he understands the problems Americans face in their daily lives.

“Obama has failed on so many promises.”
PolitiFact has their “Obameter” that keeps track how Obama’s promises are working out:
43 Promises Kept
11 Compromises
7 Promises Broken
12 Stalled
98 In the Works
344 No Action

Panic time in Democrat land.
Joe, we need you out talking more.

Politics in America:
I like the puppet on the right.
The puppet on the left is more to my liking.
Hey, one guy’s holding up both puppets.
Shut up & go back to bed, America.
- the hynotized never lie, do ya -

You know what? I think Joe is trying to help America. I never thought Joe was anti-American or radical. I think he is sick of this administration and I’m sure he’s been stifled so many times and he’s also sick of it.
I think this is a message from Joe to the tea party movement saying to keep going strong, keep the pressure up, what you are doing is working…. Joe’s not that stupid.

Hey Joe, don’t you mean “if the people succeed” in 2010 it will be the end of what you and the other guy are trying to do.

IF the Democrats we worked so hard to elect would start getting done what we want done, there would be an excellent chance of holding their majorities in both houses of Congress.
Failure to win either Single Payer or a Very Strong Public Option will hurt all Democrats running for re-election.
And rank and file Democrats are very worried about the damage the Bush-Cheney Administration did to America. ALL of the Crimes of the Bush Administration Must be investigated and anyone that violated Federal Must Be Prosecuted,
Starting With Torture.
Get out in the streets in front of your Congressional Representative’s office and raise hell. Start your own “prosecution” protest group.
KEEP ASKING ALL POLITICIANS AT ALL PUBLIC EVENTS
“WHY DO YOU SUPPORT TORTURE?”
If they aren’t actively calling for enforcement of our Federal Torture Laws, They DO Support Torture and a dual standard of Justice.
SIGN THE PETITIONS
Demanding
prosecution for all those leaders
in Bush’s Administration that
Conspired to Torture at ANGRYVOTERS
Only Prosecution Stops Torture, Abuse of Power, our Constitution & Rule Of Law

Boy, wouldn’t that be something? Giving Republicans back this country? I’d say let this administration fix it first before letting the blook suckers finish it. Isn’t it funny how some think this country should forget about everything they did and just welcome them back with open arms? Precious indeed! Please let the administration fix the country then you can give it to them to wreck as they usually do. It’s the same cycle everytime: Republicans wreck, Democrats clean out.

Some twit says, “The Democrats and their environmentalist chums have overregulated our economy to death.”
Wrong. The Rs have deregulated the country to death. Witness the present global economic carnage that is a direct result of deregulation of the financial sector. To deny that that is simply factual is simply beyond ludicrous. Understandable, given the R’s well-documented aversion to factual evidence, though. Think Iraq.

Seems a tad bit hysterical to me…
Posted by: Fascist Hyena | Sep 21, 2009 9:58:11 PM
Ya think? Color me amused that you can only recognize over-the-top hysteria from one angle.

The bottom line if it’s a democrat it needs thrown out of congress into the garbage can. don’t believe them when they have enough votes to pass obama and biden marxist mandates, because if the marxist needed their votes they would get them. In ohio through out marcy kaptor and steve dreihaus. marcy kaptor from toledo voted for cap and tax in return the marxist henry waxman promised her district millions of dollars. so for money marcy sold american down the road to marxism. REMEMBER, IF IT’S A DEMOCRAT IT HAS TO BE DISPOSED OF IN 2010.

“Understandable, given the R’s well-documented aversion to factual evidence, though. Think Iraq.”
Indeed:
And our current Sec. of State, now Republican:
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological
weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.
He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
Fooled by Bush maybe?

Hope and change is good with dried beans and water, should the government DECIDE you are young enough to get any.

Know both parties don’t suck. Only democrats. democrats gave us UAW and AFL-CIO causing at best high school ged employees to get paid over $100K per year and wreck the auto industry. They gave us fannie and freedie and the destruction of our $401K’s. They gave us 911 and the need to kick some butt in afghanistan which we did. they gave us cash for clunkers, $8K for home mortgage, take over of student loans, all of which a hard workers honest american has to pay for some laggard. The bumper sticker I saw yesterday sums up what it means to be a democrats: 1. vote of biden and barac in 2008. 2. The next bumper sticker said, “religion it keeps the poor from murdering the rich”. well I told that democrat that if you had a work ethic you wouldn’t be poor and stupid. you blame everyone of your lazy butt problems on the rich. who our the rich I said. I said the rich are people who take any job and take it because they are happy with the pay the company offers. i said it’s not like you a laggard who blames the so called rich and sacreligiously imply that religion is their to stop you from murdering the rich. I then said that why we have the second amendment because king george thought just like you and we kicked his butt.

A GOP win in 2010 is about as likely as the America hater Rush Limbaugh saying he thinks Obama is the best President ever. It’s simply no going to happen. Biden is saying this crap to try to prevent the people from throwing out corporatist Dems in the primaries. Plain and simple that’s all his mouthing off is.

Historically, a GOP win in 2010 is very likely. The only question is by what margin and will it be enough to put some salt on the tails of all the radicals now trying to ruin this country.

This administration almost appears to seek out ways to destroy this country. If an idea failed in the 30’s, that idea is pushed to the top of their “To Do” list. WTH is that all about? Is there some type of ulterior motive, or is it just stupidity?
We have got to get some checks & balances back into the mix in 2010, or there will be no stopping this train wreck!

OK, so if the Democrats abandon their agenda now, then they won’t lose the mid-terms, so they can win two more years to not complete their agenda to help the middle class?
What a bunch of beltway claptrap–designed, by the way, to help the downtrodden corporatists.

Boy I sure hope Biden is right for once..it’d be nice to stop the path to Socialism.

Hmmm. What are their measures? Well, let’s see. Gut defense. Emasculate the CIA. Send the Coast Guard to protect the waters off of Yemen,Somalia,& Kenya. Fail to secure our borders. Refuse to enforce immigration law. Bring accused terrorists onto US soil. Pander to communist regimes. Appease dictators who are developing nukes. Terminate nuke defense systems. Abandon allies. Sure feels like we’re being set up. And poll numbers are dropping? I’d say maybe I need to move my family away from the coast. And pray that the elections in 2010, if held at all, don’t come too late.

Elephant4life,
It does feel like a “set up”, doesn’t it?

How soon before the Dalai Bama gives up the USA to the UN?

My first national election was for Nixon’s second term. With all the scandal that ensued, I became very disgruntled and cynical. Then a young, relatively unknown came to the forefront, promising hope and change. I bought into it hook, line and sinker.
Well, I learned that lesson well and never voted for another Democrat. I think this administration is going to be a huge learning experience for a whole bunch of folks.

Typical reaction from the Gutless Obstructionists (Republicant’s) that want to cheer the return of this country to the 19th Century. Always looking backwards and declaring any movement forward as the ruination of this country, this is the same whining and blubbering done by the Gee-Nopee party back when FDR proposed Social Security and LBJ proposed Medicare…..
So what are the Gutless Ones’ proposals to carry this country into the 21st Century – more government subsidy of the Corporate Parasites, – remember the Gutless are the ones who deregulated Wall Street that made $5 trillion in American wealth disappear in less than 3 months, led us into the Liar’s War – Iraq that has killed over 5,000 of our children and cost us over $10 billion a month and caused us to become a debtor nation to China. If you want to see the advent of a nuclear holocaust brought on by the Gee-Nopee’s mindless jock-strap diplomacy and chest-thumping bullying, then by all means please do vote for the Gutless Obstructionist Pigs

Because they are better than you:
—When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons.
Speaking on the sidelines of a smart grid conference in Washington, Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
“THE AMERICAN PUBLIC…JUST LIKE YOUR TEENAGE KIDS, AREN’T ACTING IN A WAY THAT THEY SHOULD ACT,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.”—

The end of what Barack and Biden are trying to do to our country would be a blessing. I am 61 years old and have never seen this nation as messed up as this administration has put us in. The sooner the government swings back to more conservative policies the better off all of us will be. It will bring back America to the great nation it was prior to the worst election cycle in history.

From Joe’s lips to the voters ears. “The road to nowhere” is the road Barack and Joe want this nation to take. Let’s not go along for the ride.
Midterm elections are coming up.
Time for American to rise up and put
some checks and balances into this
liberal led spending spree government.
“A government big enough to supply you with everything you need
is a government big enough to take away everything that you have
…. The course of history shows that as the government grows,
liberty decreases.”
Thomas Jefferson

I have never voted anything but the Democratic ticket in my life but in 2010 I will vote straight Republican. Single party rule is madness.
Obama likened himself to a centrist last year but in realitiy he is further left than Michael Moore – and I can’t stand anyone as far left as even Michael Moore…

Typical, instead of figuring what’s wrong now, politicians are greasing their way for re-election. When will the american people learn, these guys are jokes

I can’t wait. More Democrats are going to topple the dying GOP!! I’m sick and tired of the GOP nuts that are trying to make a come back and make things worse than George W. Bush made them.

anothergreenbus: Another good idea.
So why don’t we just vote all Dems out, can’t wait see the new beginning.

Believe that GOP will take more than 35 seats. obama is finished. Finally.

Dear DianeR… thank you I’m a gutless wonder pig… btw, Prez Obama has not removed one soldier from Iraq, and will continue adding troops in Afgan.

Joe, we need less trying, more doing.

I was a straight-ticket GOP voter since I turned 18 just before the 1988 elections, but that all changed before the 2006 elections. I simply don’t recognize today’s Republican party. They’re not interested in solving problems, only demonizing their enemies – the signs I saw at the 9/12 event made that much clear. And President Bush presided over the worst reversal of boom to bust in almost a century.
I’m still an independent, but I can’t in good conscience put these folks back in power. They just don’t get it.

JoeDoe, I’m pretty sure that’s four letters.

I think biden and obama are ruining this country. Obama is a hateful, evil and soo unamerican. He doesn’t care about what anyone says. He will do whatever he wants. This administration is soo corrupt it’s not even funny. 2010 will be a historical election. All the dems will be voted out. Obama isnt for the people he doesn’t care about us because he refuses to listen to us. He just thinks that if we don’t go along with what he wants its unamerican are you kidding me. For those who voted for obama how is the change working out for you. OBAMA IS A FAILURE AS PRES.

Time’s a wasting.

I think it should of been U.S. President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As I read I see a lot of Republicans comment here and seem to forget the last 8 years of Bush that ruined this country and started a war against a country that did nothing to us and cost billions. The seem to forget Bush, first thing, did away with pay as you go a program to keep the deceipt under control, and being as you list your computer so much type in “jobs lost under Bush to outsourcing and “increase in illegal alien population under Bush”. He was advised LONG before housing collapse of subprime load by HIS FDIC director, Shiela Blair, but he ignored her. Come on where did all you get this magic grape juice that made you so smart because now you think you know it all. IT was Bush and the Republicans who destroyed our economy and NO ONE can fix that in a short time. So please as a Republican so wisely put in “Shut up and go away”.

Just keep in mind that the Republican party is on the side of the well to do. To do that, they need to fool the rural poor and they do that so well by scaring the bejeebers out of them with “what-ifs” and threatening them with socialism or communism. They also pretend that politicians on the Right hold the same moral values, and if being a greedy, adulterous, hypocritical creep equals moral values that, at least, may be true.

there are so many misinformed people out there. the unreasonable hatred of president obama is simply getting to be too much to bear. what has he done to you? how has he affected you negatively? are you so quick to forget 8 years of rule under bush?! talk about ruining the country..

The GOP, simple. The Republicans in congress rubber stamped everything he did at the time, and they’re the same folks who are in Congress now.
It’s PC to call Bush a RINO in retrospect, but that’s only because associating yourself with him is harmful to your reelection.
Be honest – did YOU vote for him? I did. Both times. I don’t think I’ll regret another vote more as long as I live.

As a country we are more than capable to provide for ourselves and the sooner we quit, global warming supporting illegal aliens, which we should send home. They are the only people that came here and expect us to teach their children in spanish what a joke, they learn English just like those who built this country. Send all of the illegals home we would save a fortune of medical care for them. SEND THEM HOME, WE ARE ALLOWING THEM TO BREAK OUR LAWS

Obama is an amateur. Just print some more money.” It’s all paid for” is his
legacy.
Obama sez: I won’t sign it if it cost one dime. Right
How do you tell if the president is lying?
His lips are moving.bwhahahaha

Oops, slight typo. This sentance “The fact is that conservatives and moderates are in step with the White House’s far left agenda.” Should have read “The fact is that conservatives and moderates are NOT in step with the White House’s far left agenda.”

-are you so quick to forget 8 years of rule under bush?! talk about ruining the country…-
No, not quick to forget. Why let it happen twice in a row?

Just keep in mind that the Republican party is on the side of the well to do. To do that, they need to fool the rural poor and they do that so well by scaring the bejeebers out of them with “what-ifs” and threatening them with socialism or communism. They also pretend that politicians on the Right hold the same moral values, and if being a greedy, adulterous, hypocritical creep equals moral values that, at least, may be true.

John Edwards. Good thing the Dems don’t stand on moral values. Talk about a disgrace for a human being.

So, it will be “bipartisan” as long as there are only partisans on our side left?
Did anyone else catch that?
. . . so sick of even the feigned worship of bipartisanship. Government is supposed to be divided. In a healthy democracy, the sides are supposed to fight like cats and dogs.
Fire D.C., devolve power to the states, and let lib states be lib and conservative states be conservative. That’s how it was supposed to have been, after all.

What amazes me here are the comments. No one is talking about how Biden is nervous that losing those seats could mean “the end of the road.” As if to say, “Our ideas are so far out of whack, we need to have an absolute majority, ’cause God knows, we’re not giving an INCH on any of our issues.”
Really, Joe? Really?
I can only imagine the hew and cry that would have happened if VP Cheney had said words to that effect when Bush was still president (assuming the Republicans had a nearly filibuster-proof Congress). It would have been “They’re railroading” this and “We can’t trust them” that! Oh, but the Chosen One’s lackey said it? Well, it’s okay, then!

What America needs is “HEALTH CARE REFORM” not Biden and Obama’s “health care insurance reform”. Exotic medical practices eat huge chunks of money, and much like a private university undergraduate education, the American public, who need mostly very basic medical needs, are funding this with massive price increases. THAT is where we need reform.

The Vice President has it half right.
It they lose these seats, the Obama agenda is probably dead.
But to say the the Repulican members could then vote the “way they want to” discounts the fact that the people where he lives should be dictating how the member should vote .

let biden be the one to let the cat out of the bag..
Most be the stupidest VP ever…

Early on in 2009, the threat of the 2010 elections for the democrats, was considered “Controlable” i.e. HR3200
slammed through, with it’s hundreds of loop holes that lappped over into all phases of govt. and of course “Acorn”
and the replay of their role in the 2008 elections. 2010 not a problem!
Now as it stands, any real basic shift in the seat numbers effectivly shuts PO down. Hope he has a great life flying around on AF one -

Joe’s not that stupid.
What would possibly lead you to believe that?

He’s a good ol’ boy and knows what’s going on in the administration. Or maybe he doesn’t and they are keeping him in the dark and he’s tired of it. They’ve silenced him publicly quite a few times. Maybe he’s trying to get obama back?

“Obama has failed on so many promises.”

========================================
I am impressed by your numbers of the facts. One of 43 Promises Kept by president of USA, Obama was to aid for ABORTION to largely Africa countries and small parts of Asian as well as “PLANED PARENTSHOOD” in Domestic. Also, Obamacare will be available to cover TO ABORT a PRECIOUS BABIES.

“Biden said that if GOP Succeeds, It’s ‘The End of the Road for What Barack and I Are Trying to Do in 2010″
POOR BARACK/BIDEN !!! IT SOUNDS BOTH OF YOU HAVE TOTALLY DROPPED YOUR LEADERSHIP TO LEAD BYPARTISANSHIP. AMERICA SHOULD BE OVER THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT ANY MORE TRAINING CENTER FOR BARACK AND BIDEN IN 2010.

Jenny said, “He’s a good ol’ boy and knows what’s going on in the administration. Or maybe he doesn’t and they are keeping him in the dark and he’s tired of it.”
Well which is it? He knows what’s going on or he doesn’t. Doesn;t sound like you know either so why are you spouting off? Oh right, you’re another Republican that just wants to dump on Obama.
“They’ve silenced him publicly quite a few times. Maybe he’s trying to get obama back?”
When has the Obama administration “silenced Biden?

*******************
I’m not a Republican at all. I voted for Ross Perot, Ralph Nader but never a Republican or Democrat. However, I did contribute and help Hillary Clinton’s campaign. I’m a conservative pro-choicer so what party would that be for me? Hillary Clinton was a great choice and would have been a great President. And as a matter of fact, I did my part and used the obama campaign website to call the people listed and tell them NOT to vote for obama and it would be a huge mistake. Did you know that anyone could have volunteered from their home and found people’s names, ages, addresses and phone numbers from his campaign website. I certainly did my part to try to warn people about him.
The obama administration has silenced Biden several times – google it. You and the obama administration are on the defense not me.

Let’s hope for the end of Bidama’s (Biden/Obama) hope and change. It’s freedom disaster.

Just keep in mind that the Republican party is on the side of the well to do. To do that, they need to fool the rural poor and they do that so well by scaring the bejeebers out of them with “what-ifs” and threatening them with socialism or communism. They also pretend that politicians on the Right hold the same moral values, and if being a greedy, adulterous, hypocritical creep equals moral values that, at least, may be true.

What you fail to see, is the Repubs are for making money, Capitolists, wanting everyone to excel(not the party of the rich) while the democrats are the party of the socialists(but they claim they are for the poor)but they just keep people poor depending on government to wipe their little noses…

DANIEL–”Obama is cleaning up Bush’s mess that was caused in a eight year span. It took time to get us in the mess and it’s going to take time to get us out of it…Obama inherited a huge deficit! What did Bush inherit? A SURPLUS! Have faith in our President. 4 more years for Obama! “——
________________________
I had to repost your entire comment to address it since the WHOLE thing is wrong…
Lets start with the economy… The deregulation of teh mortgage industry was done in 1998 under the CLINTON administration not unde BUSH. For the first six years of the Bush administration, the Senate committe on Commerce and Finance (who oversees lending practices) did a fair job of monitoring and controoling the likes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It wasn’t until the dems took ovwer in 06 that the committee (now chaired by Barny Frank and composed completly of Democrats) began letting Fannie and Freddie run amuck. Frank, Maxine Watters, Chris Dodd and others all took 6 figure contributions from PACS representing the likes of Fannie and Freddie and even when 8 senate republicans addressed the committe in 07n about arising problems, the Dems basically told them to sit down and shut up.. so this “economic crisis” is not the fault of BUSH.. but rather the Democrats who padded their pockets while the industry collapsed.
Second.. Bush did not inherit a surplus.. the deficit was 5.1 trillion at the end of the Clinton administration. Clinton balanced 2 ANNUAL budgets.. (which means that the government got more tax money than they spent THAT YEAR). It does not mean that there was a budget surplus.. If you do not understand the difference between an annual budget and the national debt, perhaps you should not be commenting.
Heres a quick rundown for you:
Deficit at the beginning of the clinton Administration – 3.8 trillion
At the end of the Clinton administration – 5.1 trillion
At the end of the Bush administration -
9.5 trillion
After eight MONTHS of the Obama administration – 12 trillion
Current estimates for the end of Obama’s first term – 18 to 20 trillion.
By the way, Obama announced today that unemployment will likely stay above 10% for a year or more (his words)..
How’s that change working for ya??

Did I read this right. Biden was at a fundraiser in Deleware for an Arizona congresswoman? The Democrats don’t care about the people she is supposed to represent, they only care about keeping the seat. That is why she and others like her will lose.

Then 40 seats it will be!!

Wow! What an opportunity!! Is this a PROMISE from Biden? If it is, it really may motivate the voters. To have the chance to stop the destruction of our Constitution as well as our healthcare system would certainly motivate me in ways never before imagined.
Thanks for the encouragement, Joe.

I just love revisionist history (read: Republican interpretation). So Bill Clinton is really the one responsible for the housing crisis and the recession. Huh. If things were so messed up by Clinton, why didn’t Congress and President Bush recognize the so-called problem and fix the so-called problem—after all they had complete control of both branches for 6 YEARS. In which time the deficit climbed at a much much higher rate than in Clinton’s entire two terms BTW.
Gimme a break. And yes Bush inherited a budget surplus–that is a term referring to the annual budget surplus/deficit, the “debt” is the accumulation over the years of this. I’m not blaming Bush for the economic mess that was in place last January but it is more freaking insane to blame Clinton OR Obama.

VP Biden has it all wrong. There is going to be hope & change when they lose control of congress in 2010 to those candidates who will uphold the CONSTITUTION! Those candidates can be from any party. It’s not about parties, it’s about Constitutional government. We don’t want our Republic “fundamentally transformed”, nor do we want to lose our freedom of speech, and we intend to keep hunting which requires guns. Thanks, but no thanks!

I CAN ONLY HOPE WE LAST LONG ENOUGH TO
PUT SOME PEOPLE IN THE CONGRESS THAT CAN STOP THIS KIND OF RADICAL CHANGE AND PUT AMERICA FIRST AGAIN. PLEASE STOP THE COORUPTION…

The Democrats are indeed the Socialist party… intent on spreading the wealth (aka, taking it from people who have worked hard to earn it – in favor of giving it to others to buy off voters!), but they have no idea who is even in their party anymore. These are Nazis in the guise of Democrats! That’s what makes it so heinous! Wake up people! They will give you only enough to get your vote, then kick you down and keep you under their boot until they need you again to fill their coffers. All they care about is power. They don’t give a crap about you or me! Let’s fight to get our Constitution restored! These people have broken LAWS. NO second chance, you’re DONE. Prosecuted for laws flagrantly ignored. Would your kid ever learn if you never punished him for wrongdoing? NO, he would just find a way to keep getting around the punishment to continue doing what he wanted. GET REAL. Indict these people you weak, worthless lawyers!

When are you people going to stop bickering back and forth about which party is responsible for what and begin (the quicker the better) to think of yourselves as Americans? It’s time we all stood up against the tyranny being directed at altering our Constitution. Lawlessness is punishable no matter who or how many are the responsible ones.

To be sure mr vice president. The patriots of this republic will be larger and stronger and with a voice that will be heard. BELIEVE IT!!!!!

I think you have suckered by Rush Limbaugh. Please provide a “Nazi” quote from either Pelosi or Reid.

You might want to watch more than MSNBC and ABC news. She said it and she meant it.

Thanks, Mr. Biden…message understood. Too many complacent Democrats who need to get off their arses. Guess what, as good as they are, Obama and Biden can’t do it by themselves. Love ya, Joe!

Honestly? I wouldn’t be surprised if they -did- lose all those seats to the Republicans. Even with a majority in congress and a democratic president Obama can’t even fulfill his primary directive of public health care. Corporate power, fear, and voter gullibility seem to inescapable constants of our society. These so called Blue Dog Democrats, a.k.a. traitors paid off by the health industry (c’mon, who are we kidding anymore?) are the real obstacle confronting the President – the GOP itself is a joke that has yet to move on from Reagan and the Cold War.
Down with the Blue Dogs! PURGE THE TRAITORS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Do you pro-”health-care” dumb-##### have any concept of foresight?
Whats going to happen if you let your government control healthcare?
More importantly, whats going to happen if you eventually don’t like what your goverment is doing 5-10 years down the road, and decide to OPPOSE that same goverment? Then you can kiss your healthcare goodbye, you ignoramus. Either you follow the party line or NO HEALTHCARE FOR YOU. WAKE THE # UP BEFORE YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO!!
This is not about left/right politics anymore. What we have in the whitehouse is a bunch of traitors ####### on our constituation with every penstroke.
WE DONT GET A SECOND CHANCE PEOPLE!!! BOOT THE B@STARDS IN 2010!

Hey obamaisaplant. You’re right, the only thing the parties care about it gaining more power for themselves. That was the point of the separation of powers. The founding fathers knew that people would try to gain more power, so they set up checks and balances while also writing out the limitations of government. Now, when each branch tries to gain more power, they’ll stop the other branches from gaining more, so they don’t grow.
Weren’t they smart? Oh, and those geniuses also gave us a CAPITALIST government where people take care of themselves for the same reason. You have to be independent to be free. If you try to give all of your choices to the government because you’re too lazy to deal with it yourself, you’re giving up your freedom. And since you can’t just give up your freedom and no one elses, we get lazy people voting people like Obama into office so that he can take everyone’s freedom away. I don’t understand how we can talk about having a socialist form of health care in a capitalist country and people are okay with it. I also don’t understand how we can elect someone trying to get rid of guns while it’s stated in the Bill of Rights that we have the right to guns.
And while I’m posting, for all of you saying that we should stop fighting about parties back and forth, but fighting to promote America, I agree with you, but only to an extent. You’re absolutely right that it’s not about sides, but I think you’re missing the point of the argument here. No one’s arguing that Obama sucks just because he’s a Democrat. They’re arguing that he sucks because of his politics, which just happen to coincide with those of the Democratic party.

They don’t call him Slo Joe for nothing. Were it not for the love Obama has for himself, Joe would be a close runner up as the most narcissistic member of the executive team. But as to his point that the clock is running out, I’d almost agree. The clock HAS run out.

You finally get it “Babbleing” Joe.
The country doesn’t want you and Obama to destroy the country, which is the path you are taking us down.
Isn’t it time you think for yourself, Joe, and realize what is being proposed by Obama is NOT good for the U.S.A.

If disagreeing with Obama and the kind of people who he has chosen to help him run our country makes me a racist, then I guess I am a racist. But, I personally don’t agree with or trust any career politicians in this country any longer. Black, white, purple, pink…makes no difference to me…………………That’s what bush was doing and if given the chance they will began again the same policies, I know you people think you have us but we can see straight through you

Karen Travers: You may not be familiar with political stump speeches, which is odd in itself as you are on the TMZ of polital sites. But I digress. VP Biden pretty much gave a stump speech designed to stir Democrats into action…this is what he does very well and trust me, funding will increase today to Demo projects and politicians. Honestly Ms. Travers, keep up.

This is rather hilarious. Someone on Fox’s site just reamed Repubs for thinking much as the goobers on this site are. I’ll paraphrase: Republicans responding to Mr. Biden by peeing in their pants over a possibility that they will step into any power situation, need to simply look up ‘irony.’ Biden is spot on and focused on Democratic lethargy with health insurance reform. Trust me when I say just the mere mention of Repubs taking seats will be the impetus to get their arses out of the barkolounger. Republicans who mistake Biden’s words as anything positive, please, again, look up the word ‘irony.’ You’ll be glad you did. It’s healthcare reform and getting Democrats motivated to get it passed that VP Biden just nailed.”
LOL…I’m still rolling on the floor. Right on Joe! One of the best political stumpers around. Irony…excellent!

When the two parties agree and their is no partisanship you can be *** VERY SURE *** that the American citizens are being screwed!
They are suppose to represent us, and we do not care much about them getting along!!!
Have a nice day…

“IF” they lose, hahahahaha 2010 is a cake walk

You’re right Joe. End of the road for you two screwing up the U.S. Government.

The former president was allowed 8 years to screw up our government,spend trillions of dollars on a useless war killing many young Americans with no positive results (where are the WMD’s and Osama Bin Laden?) Our economy was driven into a recession. Yet we are so quick to assume that our current President Obama and the Democrats will take us down the path of destruction. He hasn’t even been in power for a year. This rush to judgment seems a bit hypocritical if you ask me.

So someone finally had the stones to tell Democrats to get up and fight. Leave it up to Biden, the Scrapper from Scranton. He always tells it like it is and gets blood pumping. Don’t forget health insurance reform Joe. People like me have been waiting for a Demo who actually fights the good fight.

Agree Joe. Thank dog Obama got Biden in the mix. As a Democrat I’m pretty tired of the wimps in our party and when Biden was picked as VP, I knew we had a chance. Brilliant in foreign policy, yes, but Biden is multi-talented. No soft-soap either.

It’s time for term limits. PERIOD! We need to clean house(s) and start fresh and hold their feet to the fire. They work for us. NOT the other way round!
This hope and change sucks! Fed-zilla, your days are numbered.

of course the right’s position is all about politics. for them especially at this point, it’s about gaining back party power over democrats. think about it, if the issue for the left was power, why launch so many projects that take time and huge aounts of effort to deploy correctly. wht even leave themselves open to criticism? simply bide the time in the white house, not rock the boat and there it is a presidency that was capable of riding the mistake riiddled term of former president Bush. however, the Obama Administration does not intend to base their success on the failures of others. thus the projects the Obama Administration have undertaken are domne in the hopes of achieving success for America’s sake not Obama’s. and so Biden’s remarks are quite right the political pandering of the right has interfered with the goals of the left to an extent of extremist party loyalty.

we definitely need to impose term limits..career politicians are a huge problem

I agree JOE! Thank God you are on the ticket. If we let these right winged republicans back into these seats right now, everything will have been for naught. Have you ever seen gridlock????? I mean REAL grdilock?

Well – if you vote republican in 2010 you must be braindead because all the Republicans in the legislative house care about is the 1% that are RICH and the lobbyists that line their pockets – they care ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS – NEVER DID AND NEVER WILL….

Melanie, Funny you say that about Republicans being for the RICH..Do you think your DEMOCRATIC buddies are working for FREE????? They earn an income just like everybody else.
Republicans are NOT FOR THE RICH..they are for AMERICANS! Your democrats are the ones who want to attach themselves to every single individual and CONTROL our lives.. Republicans believe Govt should be smaller, and less INVASIVE on Peoples lives. Wake up and put the kool aid down..Please..

Joe Biden is a joke!! You progressives have destroyed the Democratic Party. Alot of us Blue Dog Democrats will not support the new dem party.
Country before Party Always!!

I am so amused by Republicans and conservatives who act like the country is going to hell in a hand basket since President Obama took office. They seem to forget the previous 8 years of tyranny when a president openly stated he had an agenda, and was going to force it on us all. He and his hijacked the constitution with the patriot act. Some act of patriotism, it strips us all of our rights guarrenteed by the bill of rights at admendments. Your worried about socialism, if the right has their way, will live in a state worse than communist russia ever had. You forget about the spending on “defense, and law enforcement”. The right had no problem with telling us what to say and do as long as they were in control. But as soon as someone else comes in to change things for the good of all america, not just the right, they wip up all the low life idiots they can find with their bull to put a stop to any change for good. You none rich, conservatives, and republican, need to get your heads out of your ***. They are using you, and you are not smart enough to realize it. Wise up, before, the freedoms you think Obama is trying to take is actually taken by the people you think is your best bud.

If Mr. Biden wants true bipartisanship, he should be rooting for Congress to return to the Republicans next year. This administration has rammed cap and trade through; the huge stimulus bill that was stuffed with pork, created in a back room and failed to garner even a solitary GOP vote; and is attempting to do the same with Obamacare. History shows that the most bipartisan, successful presidencies are those in which the White House and Congress are run by opposite parties. In this way do we obtain true bipartisanship and lively debate. This, however, is not really what Obama and Biden, or Pelosi or Reid or Emanuel, really want.

I find it amusing that so many posters believe if Republicans reclaim the majority in Congress that they will somehow set the country in a better direction. Did they sleep through the entire 8 years of the Bush presidency and numerous years of a Republican majority?
Do conservatives only hate expansion of government power and fiscal irresponsbility when the other side does it?
I am not excusing the actions of the Democrats, nor does poor Republican leadership justify how the Democrats have handled several major issues, but to believe that Republicans should be put back into power so soon after the many messes they created is laughable.

The problem is if you let the republicans back in in 2010, we are back to gridlock, and the country suffers for it. We didn’t get in this mess in 10 months and it’s going to take longer to dig out. BTW if the republicans weren’t so damned determined to turn the USA into the world’s 2nd theocracy (Iran is 1st), I’d probably vote for them!

Oh sorry – it was “SoCalDem”
You go SoCalDem!!!

Neither party really represents me. They all seem to go the “Party Line” way. And what happened to the supposed “Checks and balances” that was to occur between the Exectutive, Legistrative,Judicial? Did they get bypassed by “Exectutive Orders” and creation of so called “Czars” that cannot be audited or called up to give an account of themselves and only answer to the President? So should we vote them all out and start over or what? Where can we find the liberal Republicans or the conservative Democrats? Who will rise up to be the next leaders?

Ivanhoe you are so right!!

The issues are not about party or freedom but a sustainable and viable future for all. There will soon be 9 billion people competing for limited resources on this planet. The individual freedoms to over consume and exploit poor and underdevelop nations will not last. The american consumer model of economy is not all sustainable as it is based on over valued dollar buying products from near slave labor and with production from ecological unsustainable methods.
The economic model is in need of drastic overhaul or it will die from the exhuastion of individualism over the needs of the commons which will be shared by 9 billion people.
The cost will be large and GDP will not be the goal of rational sustainable social development. Individual liberty is what the USA is about for so many self thinking persons and it was what the rationalized genocide and slavery in the first 300 years of the American exceptionalism.
So sad to see the seeds of decline in what was once a country of great potential that used its wealth to get fat and recklessly exploit millions of others as if the declared inalienable rights of man are just for americans. When you buy your toys you make a vote and decision on the use of wealth and shape of world development. The liberty you cry for is so often irresponsible action taken in light of only your own needs but in sum distructive and unsustainable. The future will judge you as the human generation that got lost in the blng and burned the fire until the trees were gone and shock and awe is awe now what do we do?

There are some serious delusions here in the way things work. One simple thing, if you have an expanding population, then you have growth. Growth in consumption and growth in production (jobs etc.) If you have a declining population, then it is the opposite. When Japan’s average age reached 37, its economic growth flatlined. That is where we are at, and it doesn’t matter who is in the White-house, unless they can suddenly interject 50 million people into the population.
Its about the economy. Unfortunately, nobody can really do anything about the fundamentals. So we will just see who can spin this one best for their political agendas.

The US usually does better when Congress and the President are not from the same party.
Since the Democrats are able to do so little with absolute power, it is probably a good idea to change the balance in 2010. It can’t get worse.
Finally, where does Biden get off with his “what we want to do” – aren’t they supposed to be representing all US citizens (less than 20% are liberals). He is worse than any form of Palin – he doesn’t have the excuse (for all his foot-in-mouth moments) of being a new comer!

When was the last time Republican’s did anything to improve the lives of working Americans? Anyone who actually consider voting them back into office after the past 8 years is either a sandwich short of a full picnic basket or has been asleep .. I have 3 Trillion reasons to never vote GOP again on a National level… the whole reason we are where we are today is because of the war… don’t believe for a minute it is anything else..the lying bas***** haven’t even owned their part in anything… it is funny how we attack Obama for not accomplishing anything in 9 months or so… yet have failed to recognize one fact.. we are moving in a different direction than we were under Baby Bush… that alone is a major feat.. I have not been impressed with the GOP angle… don’t be hoodwinked into believing they have America’s best interest at heart… they may have at one time.. but this isn’t the same GOP from 40 years ago.. it is a vicious disease on US politics.. JJ

Obama’s policy is based on poll. His “Non commitment” policy is heralded as wise. Independents are not that stupid. They will vote him down on the next election.

remember, the democrats want to take from those who work, and give it to those that don’t. it’s as simple as that

the dems took over the govt in 11/06 and promptly ran America into the ground.
The American people have had enough and joe knows it
so long dems and thank God the obama reign of terror is coming to a quick close

You’re right Joe. End of the road for you and obama screwing up the American people

Nancy Pelosi is one of the greatest reasons for Term Limits.
One of the best things for Obama is for the Elephants to win a majority in Congress.
Jackasses then can’t have control.The Donkey(Jackass)is certainly the right symbol for the Dems(Especially Pelosi)

Instead of giving us universal health care, Obama is making criminals out of the people with fines and jail. He truly is a socialist. I will vote for a Republican next time; I will not be fooled by false promises. Obamas healthcare is fines agasint the people with prision time for not buying health care.

Joe Biden is just like Dan Quail. He should gargle with a rather large glass of super glue. You never know when is mouth is going to open and just what will come out of that hole.

I am just very surprised at how almost all of these comments are saying “throw out the bums!” It is time to take our nation back, and regardless of what the failure msm tries to propgandize, they can’t stop the truth. Clean Sweep 2010! We Will Take Our Nation Back!

I’VE PAID INSURANCE SINCE I WAS 18. CAR HEALTH CARE, SHIPPING. AND THE CEO’S AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS SMILE ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. THESE CO’S WANT TO KEEP THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. IF YOU ARE A CEO VOTE FOR THE GOP!!!

nobama 2010 nobama nabama

All of the House and Senate needs to be changed … who says the numbers have to change if your Dem and a Dem is up for re election just make sure he loses in the primary and vote the other Dem in.
It’s change that will send the message .. your vote is your term limit, to have term limits put in place will do two things … cause more folks not to vote and keep a really good person from staying as long as WE want them too.

The best government is one that governs least. You can believe that and still be a democrat. The best scenario is when the executive branch is one side, and the congress is another. Then it takes them a lot longer to get things done, which is better for all of us. Monopoly of the political process is no good for anyone.

Oh, I forgot to thank the Bushes for bankrupting America – I mean the country not the businesses. Power to the royalty(long live King George and his Nobles! and down with the peasants! – thank you!

End of the road for what Obama is doing? I bloody well hope so.
In every village there is some idiot who wants to grind up the seed corn to make bread to feed the hungry children thus ensure hunger will be universal for the next season. From such came forth the American Democratic Party.

Remember when Obama was first elected that he said he would not be able to fix the mess George Bush put upon us because it would take more than his 4 yrs to accomplish?? Well, he told the truth and change is what he is trying to do. We can not sit back and let the Republicans be in charge again because their mess is what will take years to fix. Obama has stood by his word—CHANGE. SO let him change and just maybe we will get this country back!!!

Wow. Do any of you really believe electing Republicans would make things better? I am stunned. Have you all forgotten already that Bush/Cheney created the economic fiasco? So you want their supporters to take over Congress and keep shilling for the corporations until we are indeed a third world country? Wow. Just wow.

Biden is a clown. “New era of bipartisanship”? Democrats are destroying this country faster than I ever thought possible. THE ENTIRE finacial crisis has been caused with liberals destroying the free market. Liberals are a disgrace.

Is gas going up at the pump again? Yes, so do we blame Obama or Bush. We cant blame Bush anymore. Obama is on his own now. Both parties are to blame. We had a Democratic Congress during Bush’s Presidency too. They are all to blame. We are truly finding out Obama does not like criticism. Is wall street greed still hot and heavy. Yes. Is the war in Iraq going on. Yes. Did our Buget just triple and go to 1.7 trillion. WOW. See its so easy to blame BUSH. That is a losers approach. When a REP comes into Office in 2012 I HOPE he or she does not blame Obama for all the mess. Even though he is screwing this place up worse than Bush.

Its been awhile since I’ve written, but, with all the lies and such in the government one has to wonder – who do you believe. We sure cannot believe what we hear on the News, because all of the networks ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, are in the President’s pocket. You will never get an accurate Poll from any of these stations. The bias is so thick, you wouldn’t be able to cut it with a hack saw. People, all people, need to stop and think. You do not deserve something for nothing. We’ve all had to work to get where we are and to say that I owe any of you, is foolish. I have trouble paying for health ins. coverage like anyone, but I DO NOT WANT GOVERNMENT to TELL ME WHERE and WHAT Type of Insurance I can have. Its none of their business. I believe that God gave each of us gifts, the ability to use our minds, to work, and to do less, would be an insult to God. How do you expect the large businesses to pay and pay and pay??? If they didn’t make money, we’d be in trouble. And what I’d like to know is who gave government the right to interfere in Businesses as to how they are operated? If you except ‘bailout’ money, thats different, then the government owns you and you don’t have a say in much of anything. The President needs to remember that he is bi-racial black & white and the Black people need to remember that too. If he’s supposed to be everyone’s president, isn’t it time he acted like it? People, get your heads out of the sand and look around you. The grass is not always ‘greener’ on the other side of the fence.

Jack has it a bit backwards (must be a Bush Repub). It is the Repubs that want to take from those who work (the workers who put in a real days effort) and give to those who do not work (the CEOs, Wall Street traders, and the like). The Dems might use compassion as an aspect of policy, but by what moral compass do you live by that does not put out a helping hand to those in need? The Repubs lost last time big-time and they are desperate – but the party of division and hate cannot form an effective platform for the future and they are running scared.

Judging by the recent polls Jerry, including the liberal polls, the Democrats are the ones who should be running scared.
Obama’s innauguration was the very last good day of his administration. He knows it and YOU know it.

I’m not a CEO or a Wall Street trader. I’m an engineer, I must be “and the like” because Obama wants to pick my pocket so I, as a middle class American, no longer exist. I shall soon be in the lines for public health care and handouts from all the “compassionate” democrats since apparently even as an independent, I will lose everything to Obamanomics. At least I know the prez will fix Fox news, all while clutching his Nobel prize. I hope he’s giving the prize money to charity, it’ll pay for my Christmas dinner. BO – it’s the economy stupid.

We dont need another Obamaniac or Biden in this country. WE need a business man who can create change. Bush fell on his sword because he was an idiot. His dad was a great leader, but the apple fell far from that tree.
What we needed in this country was not a gesture or peace token, but a real leader. Someone who has proven his value as a creator of jobs, went to business school instead of law school, and has a real sence of what makes a company great, which in turn will make ours great again. A person who creates jobs! Doesn’t anyone want to work anymore? Should we all be welfare moms and Enron thieves?
The best guy for this country was the retired Governer from Mass. Who lost because he was not a good christian. What a joke! And a huge loss for our country. I hope someday if we are not cast into socialism by the Obamaniacs we recover to once again be a good country.

as for the last comment When Bush was president I still had some cash to buy food could afford my credit card bills and Obama ask Bush to sign that last stimulus sooner or later Obama will have to admit his dem congress is what put us here and blaming it all on Bush isnt cutting it I happen to like paying my bills on time have enough left over for food and maybe a new pair of jeans.Right now you better just be thankful you have a job that is if you still do. Because this administration only makes them for this administration.not for the rest of us

I thought Obama was the great uniter? What happen…when did he become the great divider liberal….OH that is right…he actually had never tried a job where you had to do something…and this president job is hard. BOO HOO.

Bush and the Republicans took eight years to run this country into the ground so why would anyone in their right mind expect Obama to fix it in nine months? That math doesn’t add up.

I don’t think the Gov’t can run anything well. They can’t seem to run Social Security, Medicare or Medicade well. They still haven’t gotton those “shovel ready jobs” out yet. They give the “stimulas” money to big banks and Corp’s that have not played by the rules. Even our countrys medicines are now comming from overseas. And there just doesn’t seem to be very many basic necessities made in America at all anymore. Am I the only one who seems to think it is the congress that needs an overhaul?

This is the real reason for the “RUSH” to push through the Health Care Bill. NOT to help Americans (heck, the bill won’t be effective until after the next Presidential election!). But they know they are on borrowed time, and like kids with a parent’s credit card, they are trying to spend as much money as possible until the card is taken away!

90% of whats being stated on this board is written by diddoheads on both sides, with no allegiance to the truth, only to party. Guys, drop the politics and see whats really going on, then America will be great again.

It might be the end of the road for the Obama agenda, but it would be a saving grace that puts the handbrake on the runaway train Obama and Biden are driving. As they merrily hurtle along, our economy continues to falter and the very fabric of our society is threatened. Hopefully, we can elect some grownups next time; we sure didn’t do it last November.

There was never a budget surplus. There was a projected surplus. But the projections didnt include 9/11 or the economic slow down the followed 9/11 or the war on terror… So the surpluses never materialized. Bush’s deficits were created by Bush asking congress for 80 billion for the war and congress spending 400b because they knew Bush would sign it or be crucified for not funding the troops. Except the extra money didn’t go to the roops it went to pet projects to help the congress folks get reelected.

“Biden on 2010: If GOP Succeeds, It’s ‘The End of the Road for What Barack and I Are Trying to Do’”…….No “IF” involved, Mr Vice President…….The Public doesn’t like the way the country is being run according to Rasmussen (only 33% do), and they trust the Republicans more to take care of the top ten areas of concern….In five of those areas by double digits……President Obama should thank his lucky stars Presidents aren’t elected every two years, or he’d be gone too.

Hello There Everyone,
I can see that we have alot of interesting comments and a few that don’t make any sense. I am getting sick and tired of our last great president being blamed for everything. I am sick of the democrats. What have they really done. Nothing in my book. If you bothered to research on this health care bill you will find more problems then it will solve. 1900 pages is a lot for this bill and sounds to me like trouble. As for this country and its problems, it far more then the Republicans faults. The democrats and
our current great “President Obama” certainly have a good hand it. I will admit that former president Bush made mistakes but, none on the scale that I have read here on this message board. I do agree with alot of the comments that run against Biden and Obama and felt that we would be better off with someone with expirence here like John McCain then someone like Obama who thinks he knows what he is doing but, doesn’t. Bush is not and never was the problem here and I wish you all could see just that.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck,
Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, etc–Conservatives should speak out,not cower from, these demagogues. Their incendiary,divisive, offensive, non-factual, childish, irrelevant, misleading, self-righteous commentary is toxic to our country and should be shamed into silence. That would be a great starting point for the (real) majority of America to begin a civil discourse.

Wow…nonsense on display for all to see. Who of you out there is really clever/informed enough to cut through this BS to realize their liberties are truly at stake in all this?

I hope so Joe.

Obama-care. It’s shovel ready.

So if the Repubs gain 20 seats and it’s 50-50 in the senate the Dems’ road ends, huh? Meaning they cannot achieve their goals if required to work out compromises with the Repubs? What happened to the new politics? What happened to the new era of bipartisanship or post-partisianship?? These guys are frauds. Biden is a fool and an idiot. If their plan cannot gain support from anyone outside their strict party line then it’s not likely going to be a good fit for America.
Last comment: When are they going to shut Biden up? Every time he speaks he removes doubt over his lack of intelligence!

A national health care plan MIGHT be a good thing. If we DO have a national health care plan, I don’t understand why it is taking Senators and Representatives so long to come up with one. WHY CAN’T THE TAXPAYING CITIZENS OF THIS NATION USE THE PLAN THAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE? THE ONE OUR REPRESENTATIVES,SENATORS AND PRESIDENT and FAMILIES HAVE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES?? NO MATTER HOW MUCH OR LITTLE TIME THEY ARE IN OFFICE>

What’s stopping you from bi-partisanship right NOW Joe? Locking the GOP out of all health care and climate bill discussions is the work of the democrats on YOUR TEAM. The American people see you and the democrats as suppressing bi-partisanship. We want there to be bi-partisan bills on things, but that’s not what has been happening, is it Joe? You democrats rule like socialists always do, with an iron fist. Your favorite word is “compel”.

Scott, the Republicans haven’t been locked out of anything. They made it very clear that their only purpose was to block health care reform to “break” Obama.

For once, Joe Biden may be 100% correct, if the Socialist Democrat party keeps going the way the are going they will be going back to civilian jobs in 2010. Well, just look what they have done since they have been running Congress since 2006.

The comments from the tin foil hat brigade on this page are hilairious. The repeal of the constitution? Where were you when the Bush administration was using it as toilet paper? As far as the socialist “democrat party”(sic)that you are so apoplectic about- Let’s not forget the crypto-fascist “republic party” that not only got us into this mess in the first place, but would like to continue with proven failed policies and stop anyone who tries to fix the problem with smears and fear.

Did I read this right? If there’s a monopoly of the democratic party, then Biden says that leads to bipartisanship? Huh?
This is from the party that doesn’t care if it spends more in an economic crisis just so it can get it’s health care agenda passed during this short window? How is this bipartisan? The dems can do what they like, but please call a spade a spade.

Joe I hope and pray you are right we need to clean the swamp in washington you and Obama included, To much corruption going on in there.

unemployment at 10.2%. BULL, what are the REAL numbers. Pay them more unemployment to keep them quiet.

There are two types of sensible people, the first is a rich person who is conservative,and most likely Republican. The second group is made up of people who might be wealthy and possess a social conscience, most of these are Democrats and Liberals.
Then there is the group that is too darn stupid for their own good. These are mostly nuovo less than middle class working people,mostly Southerners who dont have a pot to pee in, much less a window to pitch it out of, but, decide that they need to support consevatives and republicans.

all democrats have been doing since s*** really hit the fan is blame bush for everything. not one has mentioned that obama is the first president to raise taxes during a recession since herbert hoover (the man who caused the great depression) and don’t think he hasn’t taxed the poor either. all the cigarette taxes, cap and trade, alcohol taxes, and the soda tax thats trying to be pushed through all affect the poor class way more than the upper class. And as far as Bush goes, yes he was listed as a republican but he did not follow standard republican principals of strong conservatism, low taxes and as little government intervention in our lives as possible. And also, quit calling them fascists because you obviously don’t understand what a fascist is. Fascism is strong government control such as the nazi’s which bush wasn’t. the only strong government he ever did was the patriot act which has actually saved lives on several occasions and you were only targeted by it if you were a suspected terrorist which isn’t an insult that is just thrown around by the government. you have to do something to be linked to terrorist activities. Other than that there is not one example of him being a “fascist”.

@mike – no, you obviously don’t know what fascism is. you may think you do, but you don’t. yes bush, is a fascist. his entire family is connected to the british royals, and are involved in a number of treasonous activities. his grand father, prescott bush helped organize the bailout of the nazi party with his british counterparts.
the following are some examples of fascism so you understand it better: fascism is $25 trillion bank bailouts, fascism is allowing media companies to merge and merge and dominate public opinion, fascism is cap and trade, carbon tax… taxing a harmless gas, fascism is allowing unbridled speculation and supporting that over our physical economy, fascism is letting these hedge funds, investment banks in london and wall street make all the shots and derail our efforts at recovery. fascism is this green nonsense, fascism is global warming… fascism is population control, fascism is world government, i can go on but i choose to leave it here… take this quote as my parting gift.
“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini (Former Italian Fascist Dictator, words right out of the horse’s mouth).

I thought the new age of bipartisanship was supposed to begin when Obama was sworn in?

I like the way Biden says that if the Democratic/Socialist party keeps control, THEN we will see bipartisinship. They have control of both houses AND the White House and all we are seeing is a quagmire of debt…..In the midst of a recession. As for you Bush blamers out there….SHUT UP! Good God! The man is out of office. It just shows how ignorant you people are to continue with the Bush bashing. As for both sides of the fence, you are both idiotic if you do not see the necessity for both the liberal and conservative view. They balance each other out and insure freedom. A one party system only insures a different kind of totalitarianism. There will NEVER be bipartisanship as long as there is such an animal as a career politician. TERM LIMITS!!!!!!

dale, what does “expericed” mean? I looked it up in the dictionary and couldn’t find it anywhere. “You’re” vocabulary is terrible.

Both the Democrats and Republicans practice Fascism. Obama is merely Bush on steroids. Both have pretty much used the Constitution the founding fathers gave us as a snot rag. Let’s give the Constitution Party the vote in 2010 and 2012. Please, stop telling true conservatives “where were you” when Bush was in power? I was seething with anger over prescription drugs, illegal immigration, no child left behind, etc. My question to you is, where were you stupid liberals and why didn’t you support Bush when he expanded government and did your bidding for you? He was stupid in that he tried to reach out to Democrats and basically gave them what they wanted and they still hated him. That tells Conservatives, when we get back power, and we will because these things go in cycles, no need to reach out to the 20 percent cook liberals. No need to.

If it puts an end to the ridiculousness now occurring … GOOD!!!

Joe – dahhh….you mean you finally get it? You are absolutely right. It WILL be the end of the road for what you and Barrack are trying to do. Which is exactly what, again??? Ruin the country?

Gee, Obama campaigned on the basis that he is a consensus builder. He could reach across the aisle and the Republicans would be thrilled to partner with him. Bull! A giant in his own mind, Obama pulled the wool over the democratic intellectuals and now he can’t produce Republicans in any number. He boasts about one republican who crossed the aisle after the healthcare vote was won. Big freakin’ consensus, Mr. President – I bet you think that’s a mandate too. Can’t wait to hear him describe the benefits of deficit spending again.

“All the hidden Republicans that don’t have the courage to vote the way they want to vote because of pressure from the party … it will break the dam and you will see bipartisanship,” Biden said.
Joe, how about all the hidden Democrats who only have the courage to vote against their beliefs when they are offered bribes by their own party. Give me a break,bi-partisanship was suppose to be an Obama platform. This congress/senate has no intention of making that happen, ever! Even when their own party rejects this aggressive spending, they are subjected to bribes and bully tactics.

Samuel Johnson: You are so wrong in your statement. Obama is not stopping the war in Iraq but continuing the war in Afghan. He was suppose to bring the troops back from Iraq when he was campaigning for the presidency. What happened? He never talks about Iraq. And he shouldn’t put any more troops in Iraq but end it. We should not defend other countries in battle. Let them take care of themselves. So much for your democrats.

Bobby: I agree with you entirely. This country is going under with a deficit of one trillion dollars. Bush didn’t have a deficit that high. Obama will never balance it because he is busy spending the taxpayers money on wars. He was suppose to end the war in Iraq. Good luck. Now we have a bigger war in Afhan and more 35,000 more troops promised to leave for Afghan. We have more of our troops killed everyday defending another country that should defend themselves.

The Repubicans are for the RICH only! They are for CORPORATIONS, so they make up bad intel to go to war for oil! It took Bush eight years to rap our manufactoring base! Obama can’t fix eight years of conservative greed in one year if it can be fixed. Conservatism is madness for money- power with deceitful trickery!

so start acting like democrats joe, instead of impersonating republicans…END THE WAR NOW…RID DC OF LOBBYISTS…you know..all the things you promised

BIPARTISANSHIP?!! Congress is VERY bipartisan when it comes to spending OUR money! They are mostly liberal in fiscal matters. We need to get back to conservative government. Just like you conduct your personal life. When you don’t have the money, you don’t spend it!
People who are conservative have more money. Countries that are conservative have more money. It’s not rocket science people.

I really believe that most people dont have a clue what going on at all sounds like a lot of personal trash with no real basis just rants and raves what a joke

Who ever it was that asked why Obama can’t end the war because Nixon was able to end the Vietnam war, let’s not forget that Nixon was in office for six years before he ended it. He certainly did not try to end it in his first term because he knew then that voters generally stay with the incumbent in time of war. Obama has been office for 10 1/2 months, dealing with a GOP that absolutely refuses to support anything he proposes, regardless of how good it would be for the country. I suppose it’s not hard to see why the idiots who voted for Bush TWICE are too stupid to realize the long term good Obama’s efforts will be for the country. I googled “hypocrisy” and a picture of the GOP came up.

to Mariann Pepitone:
where were you when Bush doubled the deficit? The 2003 budget was the absurd monstrosity that led to our current fiscal mess. Obama is increasing the deficit by 10% – mostly because of loss of revenue due to the suffering economy, due to the Bush administration. The last administration was built on unfunded spending: medicare part D, two wars (Rumsfeld estimated Iraq at $20B tops, it’s well over $1T to date) and corporate welfare. You have no standing to complain about fiscal issues with Obama. Hypocrite.

You people keep thinking there is a Horse Race here between Repubs and Dems…it is a PHONY. Wake Up!! Obama, or any other pres, dem or rep..takes their orders from their Handlers in London…the International Banking Cartels, they Bloodline Royalty, etc…We MUST escape this tyrannny, or we are FINISHED. WAKE UP FOR CRISSAKE! Open your EYES and Grow some BRAINS AND GUTS. Haven’t you figured out YET that BushBAMA is a FRAUD?!?! Snap OUT of it!

The last thing I ever want to see is the corporate-owned republicans getting back in power so they can give the country back to the corporation lobbyists and their money plans. We need to keep fighting against republican lies, republicans greed, and the republicans stance against the people in America. After Bush/Cheney ruined as much as possible it will take President Obama eight years just to bring back honesty and integrity in the government.

2010, vote GOP again!

Bush Sr. was a disaster, W. Bush was the disaster that continued where the first left off years apart. And years before it was Nixon who screwed everything up. They are all crooks.

iwill be damnedif,they raise my taxes,let my wife or girl friend get a abortion,take away my guns,let granny die,must be something else.oh let the terrrrrriorst bomb my home town,take religion out of the usa,and of course no pizza on monday night.

Some people will say anything to get their “point” across, won’t they?
“They” didn’t raise your taxes. But Bush DID lower your taxes just before he started his “war on terror” so that you wouldn’t have to make any personal sacrifice even though you supported that war, right? You know…the three trillion dollar war that has put America’s deficit into a tailspin?
They “let” your wife or girlfriend get an abortion? Do you have both? Or do you not know exactly what she/they is/are? I don’t recall any democrats making anyone have an abortion. Let me know the cases where they did, please.
Just who exactly had their guns taken away? Yeah…that’s what I thought…no one.
Only a moron would buy the lie that the Democrats support a death panel. That’s a falsehood that some people created knowing that there are lots of intellectually and morally challenged fools will buy into relatively easily. Like you.
The terrorists bombed your hometown? OH…you must mean the Twin Tower bombing back when Bush was president, not too long after Clinton warned him that Osama Bin Laden planned to hit a major US city using aircraft. Remember? Of course, you don’t. You have a selective memory that always allows you to be right even though you’re usually wrong.
When did the Dems take religion out of the country? Did I miss that one? Did they take it away from the hypocrite conservative “christians” who promote war in the name of the greatest purveyor of unconditional love and peace ever…Jesus Christ?
The same ones who make every decision based on money and material wealth? Didn’t Christ say it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy man to walk through the gates of heaven?
I’d tell you to get your facts straight, but you’ve never had any intention of telling the truth, have you?

Posted by: kws | Dec 21, 2009 1:31:55 PM I dont know where you get your facts but I work for the government. The war on terror has cost more than 3 trillion dollars accually.

This Christmas morning my family is very happy that a new baby is on her way to join us in May. But for the nation, I am extremely sad. It is the character of the nation, its people that has changed. Soon history will remind us of the eternal trueth “Freedom is not the normal state of man”. In the end, a nation’s citizens get what they deserve. This is why I am so very sad.

it`s only fair now it`s the dems turn to ruin a great nation

Biden’s fears are well-grounded. Traditionally the party out of power in the White House lose seats in midterm elections, but there’s much more than that in play here. After almost a year as President, Barack Obama has lost his ability make a cogent appeal in favor or against his proposals. Furthermore, Obama is disrespected at home and abroad, which won’t help the Democrats who came to power on Obama’s coattails in 2008, and it won’t help troubled Democrats who need a boost against Republicans. Even if the TEA Party movement is a factor on the right (and I believe it will be), Democrats are in deep trouble due to history and a lack of leadership from Obama.

“If GOP Succeeds, It’s The End of the Road for What Barack and I Are Trying to Do”
.
Gee, I guess I need to apologize to Biden. Apparently, he’s not as stupid as I thought.

I am old now and I understand why history repeats itself.The situation has become radically different in my lifetime because never before has society be required to meet the needs of five or possibly six age groups at the same time.
I learned early in life the difference between prejudice and discrimination. It is natural for people to be more comfortable with their own kind and this desire is not evil. Discrimination is very different because it causes poverty

All of you screaming for the people to uprise and a third party should consider one thing. CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM NOW!!! Stop allowing corporations to donate money in any form to politicians. If there is no corporate money in play then the folks in Washington will be required to raise money from the people, which will restore power to the people. As long as corporations can donate hundreds of times the amount of money allowed by individuals the people will never have power! Corporations are granted no rights under the constitution, the people who own those corps and the ones who work for them should be welcome to donate as individuals just like any other person with the same contributions limits as everyone else!

Who cares, the players change but the situation is always the same. As soon as americans stops treating politics like a football game that we “win” and “lose” then we’ll get something done.

Well, there is certainly no bipartisanship on this board. Don’t worry, I won’t start with the bipartisan either. I am a Conservative. Yes, I may listen to Rush, but I speak for myself. But I must say, he is ever so right when he says that when a Liberal starts losing a talking point, that they start with the name calling and the “look what Bush did” stuff. So lets start from a year ago. We were promised transparency, no lobbyists, no tax hikes, and if we passed the stimulus bill, unemployment would not go over 8%. Of course during his run for the office there were the 8 occurrences of him promising that any health care bill would be debated on C-Span and not behind closed doors. The presidents number one job is to keep the citizens of the United States safe from harm, not see how many times in a week he can look at himself on tv. This president only has one thing on his mind and that is to move the United States as close to a socialist state as he can. So for you Liberals out there that still want to blame Bush for everything, we understand. You were hoping for someone to look up to, not thinking that you were only getting someone that would only look down on you.

We can only hope Joe. All Americans should pray that the Obama agenda is stopped and the cancer that is the progressive movement is held in check. The survival of the nation depends upon it.

“and end to everything Obama & I are trying to do”, bleed America dry and enslave future generations w/a $3 trillion debt in one year…extrapolate that number for 4 years and we will triple our debt in one administration. Oh,yes folks, pray for a Republican sweep in Nov, 2010. Vote like your kids and their kids future depends on it.

I don’t understand the Libs and their inability to grasp the concept of Conservatism. It is not Rich Republicans, it is Independence. The goal of the Republicans is to move the roadblocks that allow an individual to achieve what they want from life. Sitting behind a computer spewing about how “evil” the republicans are because they don’t care is just simple minded. We Don’t Care.
I challenge any of you Libs to tell me what a Republican has done to prevent you from getting off your butt and doing what you want with your life. You want Real Change, how about this. You get a job, collect your pay, do with it what you want. Just that simple. I don’t want or need the government telling me what I Should or Shouldn’t do, or what I Should or Shouldn’t pay to make your butt more happy.
The Middle Class is quite capable of going about their lives without some miserable self indulgent whiner trying to manage our lives for us. The Middle Class does not care to have it’s “leaders” constantly telling us what we need to do to better our world 24/7, we need to be left alone to go about our lives. Yes, it is true, I admit it, I don’t CARE one bit what you do with your life, I hope it is a pleasant one. But I will care if you keep trying to take from me.
Now turn off the computer, go get a life, quit intruding on mine before you really DO get the middle classes attention.
Here’s the first clue. It is not about getting your share of the pie, this is America, Make Another Pie!

This probably won’t be taken very well, but the sad FACT is that Republicans have a long history of propaganda to twist the minds of people in NEGATIVE directions. Yes, Democrats have engaged in such things, too. But for a different purpose – to HELP people. No political party is perfect. In fact, there are good, solid arguments to show there is no substantive difference between the two. Discussions of this topic invariable turn emotional, rather than based upon historical facts. Black is black, white is white, and blue is blue. But for many politicos black can be white, and white can be blue. For the sake of American freedom, the mental and physical health and well-being of our citizenry, let us all hope and pray that the Republicans do not re-gain power. They did more damage under Bush than any other time in the history of our nation. Republicans, you may now proceed with ad hominem attacks.

Congress’s approval rating is at 22%. It’s time for ALL of them to go. I’m so sick and tired of this liberal, conservative, left-right, democrat, republican nonsense that I could about puke. When are people going to wake up and realize that BOTH parties are corrupt? Both presidential candidates were funded by the same corporations. Look it up. It’s time for REAL change. Vote them ALL out of office!

The Dems Doomsday will be Americas Victory day… get ready because the Dems have lied themselvs out of office..they wanted to show how powerful they are now but we cant see behind closed doors… they are worse than the R’s ever were… sorry but I can not vote for any of them right now.. they all need to go.. Save America do not vote for Democratic Dictatorship… they are WAY OUT OF CONTROL

What we should know that big business and people outside of this country control our country. The GOP want back in power because they are in bed with these businesses, the Dem have a trust issue, they want to do for the people, but it takes real courage to work for the people who vote for you who want you to do the right thing for them, and stand up to the people who control the system.

All of you people seem to for get that this country voted in thses crook`s in 2006.That`s when all the problem`s started.I`m from Nevada and Harry Reid has become some kind of puppet along with Pelosi.I can`t figure out if the Talaban is holding a gun to their head`s or Obama`s Chicago Mob is doing it.PBS ran a independant film makers doc on Obama and one on McCain.If you saw how Obama got where he is you would understand his agenda.He is a lie`er and a back stabber.I think our country is IMPOLDING.We need to balance out the Congress with liberal`s and Conserative`s.Then we can stop this one sidded,closed door,no C-Span,don`t discuse just do it attitude that the Dem`s have.It`s the Peoples America`s,NBC and their pundit`s,,,,,not the Obama`s America.

You know what else is ironic? This is an abc board and the vast majority of posts are speaking out against this radical left wing administration, yet abc will continue to act as though we are some small random fringe group.

I love how Biden says this is the GOP’s “ONE SHOT” at breaking Obama’s agenda. HUH???? Obama’s agenda is failing and you had a SUPERMAJORITY. FAIL

The biggest problem we have today is that we have democrates, republicans and others, but what about being an American above all else? We quit thinking for outselves and let those in charge do it for us. The generations before us worked, and lived their own lives and done quite well. Now we have too many who just want the government to tell us how to live, and to “give me”
so I don’t have to work or think for mmyself. When you leave your roots, you lleave reality and this will always lead to failure The Constiution was a good guideline but that great proclomatio is being destroyed by the liberal and spend it all government we now have, thanks to our own laziness, and refusal to think for ourselves. When we left this way of life, we started a down hill avalanche that will destroy us if we continue to do this. The only true American is the one who will stand firm for the foundation we were founded on, and will do everything possible to uphold this proud tradition. I am not a party person, I am an American above all else, and I am also a believer in the Bible and what it stands for. I refuse to compromise wither of those two necessary writings.
God have mercy on us if we do not change.

Franklin Raines – Barney Franks- Maxine Waters – Dodd- What do they have in common = lying about the Loans and the Condition of Freddie & Fannie = Who started the Reinvestment Act that started the housing bubble ? Clinton ? Democrat. Who encouraged & loaned the Money = Acorn ? Freddie-? Fannie? And was Raines=DemoC ? Waters ? DemoC Dodd ? [RETIRED ] Raines (retired= why NOT= he made his Millions !!) Why are these other people allowed still in Office?

WHAT?! Does Joe Biden REALLY believe that “bipartisonship” is when the Republicans vote for the DEMOCRATS agenda? Somebody get the Vicepresident a dictionary, please!

America is the sum total of all or us. We chose to spend more than we earn because our wages were going down and we wanted to maintain our standard of living. We chose to send troops all over the world. Health care is becoming more and more of a problem because the population is growing older. Rush Limbaugh Nation: Stop blaming Obama and the Democrats and DO SOMETHING YOURSELVES. What is YOUR solution? Do nothing and hope capitalism will solve the problems?

america , wake up ,no party is going to solve anything but their group bussines .dems, republicans….etc are the same .

It doesn’t matter who you vote for they all end up doing what they want and not listening to those who put them in office. Our whole government needs to be restructured. Not one of thier jobs should last longer than two years.We need real, Honest hard working people in there. I am sick of racism part for not one of us is pure anything.
It doesn’t matter which party you vote for they are all out for themselves and not the taxpayers. I have heard how we are all to cut back and tighten our belts but did they cut thier wages benifits and spending??
If they had taken those billions and gave them back to the taxpayers instead of ceo’s like aig this country would still be working!! The people would have bought new cars paid mortages,medical, food ect as always, and people would still be working.
How can you tell people to tighten thier belts when thier jobs are gone prices skyrocketing over the board??
We need to wipe the board clean of politicians and start over with real people and set thier wages for them since we are the ones paying them!!
All the parties have been liars for years. They are supposed to be working for us not lining thier pockets and lifestyles at our expence, Give it back to the people ( Control money and choices)!!!!

Matthew Bright – I agree with you, but you pulled up one President short. You left out the most venal and stupid administration EVER in the history of this country – The OBAMA Administration!!!
We continue to get WORSE and WORSE!!! Obama is a SHINING example of the “herd mentality” exhibited by American voters.
Obama isn’t qualified to park cars as a White House Valet, much less for any job INSIDE the White House, and CERTAINLY not the top job in the country. But hey, us lemmings were told by the MSM that we should forget about all that “experience” stuff, and instead “make history.”
What next? Maybe we should elect a DOG to be President – I’m sure THAT would be historic too, maybe on a global scale!! YES WE CAN!!! CHANGE!!!

Reagan took the USA from the world’s largest creditor to the world’s largest debtor. Bush simply finished what Reagan started: taxing and stealing from the middle class and giving to the rich.
Wake up so-called conservatives. You have been and are being had by Wall Street, WalMart, United Health, Big Pharma and the rest of the corporate fascists.
Bush’s Supreme Court just declared that corporations can use unlimited sums of money to purchase their own members of Congress and, heck, the Presidency.
Wake up! Vote PROGRESSIVE if you want to keep your freedom, your health and your financial future. Stop listening to nuts like Beck and Limbaugh and Palin. Think for yourself already.

Kathy,
You said “…and he was able to refute all their talking points and conceded one issue they brought up and said that he needed to work on that.”
Might it be that the press isn’t simply reporting on what he says (knowing he lies every time those lips start flappin’), but rather, do a little fact checking?
I’d bet a year’s salary that at least SOME of his “refutes” stretched the truth more than what some of us would call a BALD-FACED LIE!!!
And the fact that Obama HAS lied – REPEATEDLY – has taken away ALL of his credibility, at least with those that would otherwise like to believe that our President actually leads this nation from the CENTER, actively seeking and accepting (key point, this last one) input from BOTH sides, vice accepting input that emerges only from Democrat-only closed-rooms, lead by his mentor and puppet-string handler, the DISHONORABLE Nancy Pelosi!
So, when he said he needed “to work on” the one talking point you suggested he “conceded,” I would bet he’s simply back in the closed door, developing his political spin on that one point, and how the other side is still wrong.
