Obama '08?

New taxes on investments, taxes on medical supplies, taxes on drugs and health insurance, and taxes on you
if you are just breathing… the list of taxes Americans will face just got a lot longer thanks to ObamaCare....
Obamacare will make every day feel like April 15th ~ TAX DAY

I guess you support Obamanomics and Democrats working hard at bankrupting the country.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's national standing has slipped to a new low after his victory on the historic health care overhaul, even in the face of growing signs of economic revival, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll.

The survey shows the political terrain growing rockier for Obama and congressional Democrats heading into midterm elections, boosting Republican hopes for a return to power this fall.

Just 49 percent of people now approve of the job Obama's doing overall, and less than that -- 44 percent -- like the way he's handled health care and the economy. Last September, Obama hit a low of 50 percent in job approval before ticking a bit higher. His high-water mark as president was 67 percent in February of last year, just after he took office

Adding to Democratic woes, people have grown increasingly opposed to the health care overhaul in the weeks since it became law; 50 percent now oppose it, the most negative measure all year. People also have a dim view of the economy though employers have begun to add jobs, including 162,000 in March. Just as many people rated the economy poor this month _ 76 percent _ as did last July.

And it could get worse for Democrats: One-third of those surveyed consider themselves tea party supporters, and three-quarters of those people are overwhelmingly Republicans or right-leaning independents. That means they are more likely to vote with the GOP in this fall's midterms, when energized base voters will be crucial amid the typical low turnout of a non-presidential election year

Obama is spending money temporarally as needed to spur the economy and create jobs.
Moreover, his efforts are working.

I'm not done, count on that, but by ignoring the flag, he did denounce America in my opinion, maybe not yours, but I happen to have lived in places that respect the flag, maybe they don't in Berkeley? I happen to know people that are mostly patriotic, maybe you do not, and therefore do not know it when America is being denounced? Maybe you also think 9/11 was merely a case of the "chickens coming home to roost," hey I don't know, I do not understand the liberal mind or the minds of people that Obama looks up to for guidance and worship.

Okay, round one with cyclops, I have resoundingly won round one with a prime example of Obama denouncing America by actions louder than words, that of ignoring the flag.

Anyone with any common sense knows this is the same thing as denouncing America

and then just claiming that his statements are equivalent to denouncing America.

They are equivalent, and I think you know it.

Loophole in Health Care Reform

Feinstein: Loophole in Health Care Reform Leads to Double-Digit Premium Increases

04/13/2010 - Human Events

Less than one month after passage of the nearly 3,000-page Obamacare bill the President then signed into law, dire consequences -- intended or otherwise -- continue to surface. Imagine if Democrat legislators actually understood the impact of their massive legislation before the voted for it. Perhaps that’s too much to ask from a group that doesn’t even read the bill before they shove it down America’s collective throats.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting today that the double-digit premium hikes Democrats vowed Obamacare would stop, well, it doesn’t actually stop them.

Like when the President said his bill would immediately require coverage of children with pre-existing conditions. It doesn’t do that either.

“It is a very big loophole in health reform,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told the Times. Feinstein and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) are pushing legislation to expand federal and state authority to prevent insurance companies from boosting rates excessively, the Times reports.

First Democrats create a massive new entitlement program that doesn’t do the things they say it will do -- like control health care costs or decrease deficit spending. Then, as part of the design, Democrats want to pass even more regulatory legislation that will further expedite the collapse of the private insurance industry, thus leading to single payer government health care and all of its rationing, waiting lines and skyrocketing costs.

That's because this was never about cost or health care. It's about big government control over people's wallets and their lives.

During the 2008 Presidential election cycle, then-Senator Barack Obama laid out during his campaign his health care plan that included a clear benchmark on lower health care costs.

“Today I want to lay out the details of that plan -- a plan that not only guarantees coverage for every American, but also reduces every family’s premiums by as much as $2,500,” candidate Obama said on May 27, 2007.
Obamacare fails to deliver on that promise.

The Democrat plan is to blame the mean old insurance companies for the innumerable health care crises caused by Obamacare, then insist only big government solutions can fix these government-created problems.

The problem for Democrats is that America’s not falling for it.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., slammed the leader of the free world Thursday, calling the remark a "direct contradiction to everything America believes in."
"That's one of the more incredible statements I've ever heard a president of the United States make in modern times," McCain, a Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, told Fox News. "We are the dominant superpower, and we're the greatest force for good in the history of this country, and I thank God every day that we are a dominant superpower."[/b]

"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them," Obama said. "And that ends up costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure."

"A nuclear-free world has been a 60-year dream of the Left, just like socialized healthcare."

"A nuclear world war cannot be won and must never be fought. And no matter how great the obstacles may seem, we must never stop our efforts to reduce the weapons of war. We must never stop at all until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of this earth."
