Obama '08?

H20, Mysteryman, Ikon and any others who can't see the forest for the trees; you don't GET yourselves, do you? Prejudice is taught at home first, then your presumably friends of your race only, a closed and narrowminded attitude against anyone not like you and feared loss of entitlement, cause the 3 of you to continually make the statements that you do.

Our country will never "get it together" because of these narrow minded attitudes that only people like you, know what ails this country and what will cure it. Good Luck!

I have decided to pull off the gloves here and state the truth, the whole truth, and Obama is not an American in the tradition of what an American is, that is the belief in freedom, private property rights, liberty, and the responsibility of us, the citizens, instead of the State. The State is the alter that Obama worships at, and it is in direct conflict with we the people.

You need to wake up, teeny, unless you want to continue to see everybody's rights trampled, simply because you have some kind of emotional attachment to Obama. It needs to be more than that, you need to dig deep and decide do you really want what he wants, which is a powerful State with he the dictator wannabe calling the shots.

Senate Democrats broke new ground this week by slipping earmarks and sweetheart deals into the 2,700-page health care in the middle of the night. On Saturday, while Americans were busy wrapping presents or clearing snow from their driveways, Majority Leader Harry Reid released the newest version of his health care reform bill and forced a key procedural vote on the bill after midnight on Sunday.

Sen. Reid’s new bill, cooked up behind closed doors without any Republican input, now includes special deals and earmarks for interest groups and Senators who were previously withholding their support. Thanks to these sweetheart deals, Texans will be left holding the bag when it comes to paying higher taxes under the bill.

A few of these sweetheart deals and earmarks were outlined yesterday by Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank:
• The Louisiana Purchase: $100 million in extra Medicaid money for the Bayou State.
• The Cornhusker Kickback: $100 million in extra Medicaid money for Nebraska.
• U Con: $100 million for a medical center in Connecticut.
• Gator Aid: A grandfather clause that would protect only senior citizens living in Florida from the deep cuts the bill imposes on Medicare Advantage.
• Handout Montana: Medicare coverage for anybody exposed to asbestos -- as long as they worked in a mine in Libby, Montana.
• Iowa Pork and Omaha Prime Cuts: Additional Medicare money for low-volume hospitals of the sort commonly found in Iowa, while Nebraska won a "carve out" provision that would reduce fees for Mutual of Omaha and other Nebraska insurers.

My staff and I have been investigating these maneuvers and have discovered that these sweetheart deals directly violate the ethics rules of the U.S. Senate. I raised this and demanded answers today on the Senate floor. Senate Rule #44 requires bill sponsors to publically disclose earmarks. Therefore, Sen. Reid should provide a list of the earmarks and who requested each one. Unfortunately, Sen. Reid has so far refused to do so. I raised a Point of Order on the Senate floor today about this violation of Senate rules.
President Obama’s chief strategist and “agent of change,” David Axelrod, claimed that these sweetheart deals are "the way it will always be." So much for “change.” Maybe that’s the way it “will always be” in Chicago, but not in my state, and not in the heartland.
This year for Christmas, Sen. Reid and Senate Democrats appear determined to give the American people higher taxes and increased health care premiums. It’s a shame the Obama Administration’s promises of increased transparency and lower costs for the consumer were collateral damage in their quest for a quick legislative victory before the New Year"and before the State of the Union address, so the President can move one step closer to a full government takeover of our health care system. I know I speak for the majority of Americans when I say we would much rather have coal under the tree this year.

That's what the signs used to read in ALL Southern cities until 1960. If you weren't alive then, please STFU!

Define American, PLEASE! No, define Patriot, also. Are Americans and Patriots, white only? That's what the signs used to read in ALL Southern cities until 1960. If you weren't alive then, please STFU!

regardless of how you feel about someone, the ignore button is the refuge of the coward

Cuba’s foreign minister called President Barack Obama an “imperial and arrogant liar" for his conduct at the U.N. climate conference, a reflection of the communist island’s increasingly fiery verbal attacks on the U.S. government.
Bruno Rodriguez spent an hour and a half lambasting Obama’s behavior in Copenhagen, telling a news conference, “at this summit, there was only imperial, arrogant Obama, who does not listen, who imposes his positions and even threatens developing countries.”

He called the summit “a fallacy, a farce” and said Washington "used back-room deals and strong-arm tactics to foist on the world a deal" that he labeled “undemocratic” and “suicidal” because it urges " but does not require " major polluters to make deeper emissions cuts.

Rodriguez also said Cuba and other poor nations have refused to recognize the agreement because they weren’t permitted to participate in its development.

Are Americans and Patriots, white only? That's what the signs used to read in ALL Southern cities until 1960.
