- I couldn't agree more. When one questions Obama's actions, he/she is labled a nazi, a 'bushie', all sorts of silly, kindergarten style names. If one points out Bush's failures, he/she is quickly labled as a socialist ot 'dumbocrat'. Cute, but childish.

- It's sad to see how many people fall into the "Our party guys can do no wrong" grouping. I saw with the Bush loyalists and I am now seeing it with the Obama loyalists. For these programmed lemmings, the idea that "their guy" might be making mistakes is blasphemy and they react the same way a hardcore religious person reacts when you tell them there might not be a God. Obama is like the Beatles & they are the tear filled, screaming teenagers in the front row. The Bushbots were no different. Objectivity is strange concept for some.

- 3. Forget the Republicans. Forget bipartisanship. Universal healthcare can pass with 51 votes. You can get 51 votes if you give up on trying to persuade a handful of Republicans to cross over. Eight years ago George W. Bush passed his huge tax cut, mostly for the wealthy, by wrapping it in an all-or-nothing reconciliation measure and daring Democrats to vote against it. You should do the same with healthcare.
The democrats will be the ones to defeat Socialized Healthcare thank god. These people that want free Healthcare have no clue what it is and what it will cost.
In the latest draft from congress, Elected Official such as Dodd and such have exempted themselves fro Universal Coverage in favor of their current tax payer paid for life plan. - Reply to this comment
- You righties are totally uninterested in the truth! The truth is you and your kind virtually destroyed our country and now an amazing amount of progress has been made towards fixing it in only 5 months.
And you know it! That's why your screeching lies get shriller and further out there everyday.
Fortunately, you no longer matter.

- Everything you list here represent problems that were caused directly by your heroes the GOP starting with Gingrich/Delay and continuing up through the end of the Bush veto.
Bush is the one that stood up at his first State of the Union garble and threw down the gauntlet. ("Axis of Evil etc")
President Obama is simply cleaning up 15 years worth of GOP bungling, greed, deregulation, favoritism and an absolute lack of anything positive for anyone except their now much richer friends.
Fortunately they are gone, and with the upcoming 2010 elections, we will see a bigger shift, probably 65/35 split in the Senate. Then the little spoiled rich white boy obstructionists that you adore will finally be in a place where they can no longer hamper the outstanding efforts to fix their mess. Finally some daylight after years of GOP gloom!

- The bail-outs were wrong, but better than the alternative. Some banks have already paid back the money. The taxpayer's getting 7.5% interest on the loan to Citigroup. Chrysler's alrady out of bankruptcy, GM's headed that way. Thousands of jobs have been saved, even though the number of unemployed is still increasing, it's increasing at an ever slower rate and will turn around. Obama's got more done to benefit the country in 5 months than shrub did in 8 years. I reckon he's doing a great job, given he's only getting interference from the GOPigs while they have not had a new idea since Ray-gun, and we all know how that worked out.

- I voted for Obama and do not wish to see the GOP take control in 2010. However, I am not happy with Obama at all. He appears to be a light weight Bush and it's starting to bother me. The bail outs were wrong and did not help much. Be it the banks or some other business, we as tax payers lost. What happened to "open government"? It sure seems like Obama, who was against Bush's secrecy is now fighting to keep it. His choice for Supreme Court bothers me too. Obama has backed off promises he made while running for President. I understand the GOP caused most of the problems we are now facing, however, Obama is acting more like a tv star then the President.
