Jacqui said:What I would really like to see, is the senate and congress having to live like the rest of us do. Meaning giving up their special health insurance, retirement plans, ect.., Once they come down to the normal Joe Blow's level perhpas real change and good change could happen. ... Then again, I really want us to lose the party system and just start trying to hire the best man/woman for the job regardless of their party beliefs, their color, creed, sexual preference, ect.., Why do we think so little of those we hire to make the laws of our country, then we do about other business with less importance to our lives and futures? Seriously, can you imagine if all business hired with the main reason to hire somebody being what party they belong to?

And If they had to live within their means, haha, they wouldn't last a week.
wellington said:I am not sure what people expect Obama to do, perform miracles? Bush used all of his 8 years to ruin us! Yet everyone expects Obama to fix it in less then 4 years. Every president takes the glory and passes off the bad, everyone of them takes a lot of vacations. I do feel things have gotten better. There are jobs again, not the best ones, but they are jobs. Gas has come down, construction and home buying has gotten better and most of us has benefited some by it. Lower interest on my mortgage then the Bush times. Obama is for everyone, not just the rich. If you listen, he includes himself in his tax hikes for the rich. Bush just includes himself in getting richer. The two sides will never agree, unfortunately, that's this countries biggest problem. However, at least Obama is trying, has been trying and hopefully gets the next four years to continue trying. No one can undo in four years what Bush did. No matter who was president, democrat or republican, I feel they should get the 8 years. Another new president now, is just going to set us back again, no matter what party she or he was from. Also, no law will ever make everyone happy. However, if it benefits the majority, that's a move in the right direction. I do think all of us will see a relief in the amount we pay for health insurance. I am looking forward to it. My husband could retire young if the insurance were more affordable.
KimandKarasi said:Jacqui said:When was he given a chance to do anything?? OF course sadly he did start to act like the other guys like Bush with all those vacations and things your right. If we had let him try, perhaps he could have gotten us out of the crap we were in when he was elected, but no we had to act like a bunch of spoiled little brats who did not get their person elected and made sure this one could not live up to his full potential. I for one am very ashamed of how we as Americans, behaved so poorly. We do not deserve to even be called Americans any more.
So true stop pointing fingers and allow the person WE VOTED IN TO STAND FOR US do his job.
He's had a democratic majority congress, yet STILL nothing got done, it had nothing to do with the republicans being "sore losers.".. He chose not to do anything, no one held him back. Then when he needs the Hispanics vote he goes OVER congress to make a new law, when before he said himself it "wasn't how our government works" when they asked him to do that years ago.. It's all a big game, no matter who is in office, they don't care about making things better in this country they want the power, and it will never change. I for one am even more ashamed that we as Americans continue to segregate ourselves into republicans and democrats, when shouldn't we all be working together for the betterment of the UNITED states??

Your statement "Maybe we can catch up with the rest of the world", puzzles me.
Mexico, where drug cartels murder their citizens weekly? Canada, where you're considered lucky if your tax burden can be kept under 60%. Grease, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, all on the verge of bankruptcy due to their Socialist agenda's including their Socialized medical coverage. Muslin countries of the middle East where women have little or no rights and continue to be stoned in a public forum. Cuba, Venezuela, and other South and Central American countries who cling to Communist type governments. The list can go on and on but I ask you why all the people from nations around the world try to get into our great country and if they are successful they continue to reside here illegally.
Bush was not the smartest, that's for sure, but the nation started to go downhill with the Carter administration, not with Bush, and now "the self proclaimed king" is bringing us closer and closer to being a Socialistic nation.

For the opponents of Obamacare....how many of you are going to to discuss your feelings on the matter with your healthcare provider at your next visit...I know I did with mine, fortunately it was after the prostate exam...didn't want to get her too worked up...smile. Now, how about the Obamacare supporters? Any of you going to espouse the wisdom of your President's law with your healthcare provider? Doc
Keep your powder dry,Doc. This could get interesting.exoticsdr said:jackrat said:We are so screwed. I'm speechless.
I'm with you brother! Easier to blame Bush than to accept the responsibility for failed policies.....so very typical. Oh well, I'm clinging to my guns and my bible and READY. Doc
