Barack Obama

Before Obama is done a lot of people are going to be out of Business, China is coming up in our rear view mirror and with their 1.3 billion people vs. our .3 billion people, they're going to do to us what we did to them. Houston, we have a problem. Just from an economic point of view, in fifty years we are going to be in trouble. No matter who's in charge.

Even conservative libertarians know a good investment when they see one. Investing in exploration usually returns new technologies and resources. After BO tried to can the constellation program House Representatives sent the Nasa administrator a letter telling him to cease all activities canceling constellation. That they were not in favor of it, and that it still needed their vote. Ron Paul was one of the signers of the document.

Government economic forecasters took a look at what national healthcare will do to us. They concluded it will not control costs as BO hoped and costs will actually rise. Is anyone surprised?

The report also projected that Medicare cuts could drive about 15 percent of hospitals and other institutional providers into the red, possibly jeopardizing access to care for seniors. Again is anyone surprised? BO & Pelosi told congress not to worry about the $trillion price tag. It will cut costs. Congress actually fell for it! What a bunch of fuckin amateurs.

PS... what's this latest buzz I hear about BO wanting power to take over any financial institution without any kind of review? Sounds like another step on the way to socialism.

You have Health Insurance, Right Tracy? Why? Because the Govt is funding Nasa to "pull a wall st" and justify itself as indispensible to America. The Govt pays for your Health Care. Did the forefathers endorse Nasa?
We'll see what National Health Care does, I hope it scapes all the human waste off the sidewalk and puts them to work, instead of drinking wine and going to taxpayer funded jails. I hope we're one step closer to Communist Health Care. You think the Insurance Companies don't come between you and your doctor? Health Care is not going to GET fucked up, healthcare IS fucked up. I got stories.
There are areas where Republicans and Democrats overlap, I make racist jokes but I defend ALL American's rights and that brings us to Illegal Immigration, one topic Obama doesn't want to tackle right before elections. It wouldn't bother me if they built a fifty foot wall between us and Mexico with machine guns and sniper rifles, and deported every dude that hung around Home Depot for daywork. Republicans and Democrats are fighting over the Hispanic Voting Bloc, and big business likes the fact that illegal immigrants will work hard for 5 bucks an hour. Buisnesses like the fact that mexicans buy beer, gas, food, rent. Me, I say make this a club witrh dues. There's nothing wrong with taxes and insurance. Just make sure people pay their fair share.

Even communists have to pay their bills. We are over $12 trillion in the red and cannot afford national health care.

Insurance companies have come between me and my doctor since Clinton.

Why just the Mexicans? You think just the Mexicans want work here? There's millions, billions? in the world who are under the poverty level, threatened by drug lords or dictators, etc, who would like to come to America. Why can't ALL of them come here without going through the immigration office before becoming an American? Tell me that???

From where I stand, the American Revolution is the same as the Communist Revolution. We want to decide where the tax money goes, not King George taxing us to pay for his wars in Europe. We can afford to go to Mars but can't afford to give 30 million American citizens basic Health coverage?

Before that

The Janitors I used to work with were Engineers and Executives in Africa, they jumped through hoops to come here legally. We don't have anything between us and Canada. Mexico is it's own thing. Seeing bunches of Mexicans in front of 7-11 or sharing a house in my neighborhood, I'm a redneck on that. I have no problem sending them to concentration camps, but the shear numbers and the fact that they just come right back when you deport them makes it more than a philosophical question, even Reagan gave them amnesty.

Part of what makes me sick about the Mexicans is you know they're illegal and yet nobody seems to want to do anything about it. It's like fighting the tide. I think the teabaggers better think twice about who us and them are. I KNEW Bush and Cheney were pricks from Day One. I think alot of baggers were surprised Republicans considered them "working class losers" even though they gave them there vote. Joe the Plumber was a fool. Obama spoke to him in person in a big crowd. No Republican would go into a crowd without 100 secret service agents. As long as Mexicans stay in my neighborhood, nobody but me cares. Republicans stole every cent while they were in charge, fuck the statistics, you know I'm right. WE ARE BROKE! What do you want to do, go Nazi? Obama needs six years to fix Bush's fuckups.

Now this just has me confused. You have at least eight different thoughts in your post and not one of them complete. I'm really trying to figure out what you mean.

I agree that both parties are wrong about illegals. Democrats are downright pandering to them, and Republicans hope the problem just somehow goes away, but are also trying to get the hispanic vote. Which is another thing that confuses me. Hispanics who came here legally are also pissed off at all the illegals who are here. It seems to me that republicans, and democrats too, would want the much larger voting block of people who are here LEGALLY. You know, like not only hispanics who are here legally, but the vast majority of US citizens who are fed up with all the illegals here. Doesn't that voting block matter?

Wake up. Any candidate will talk to joe blows in a crowd and kiss babies. I'll tell you the difference between republican and democrat presidents... no make that the difference between Bush and Obama because not all democrats are this bad. After the columbia shuttle broke up on reentry, Bush came to Johnson Space Center in Houston and gave a speech there in the middle of Nasa. Anyone who worked there was allowed in and anyone of us working class losers could get within 5 feet of him. Bush also toured the other buildings in the center and spent some time there.

When Obama went to KSC to make his speech, his people told everyone who worked in the building he was giving his speech in to take the day off. They weren't allowed anywhere near there. And the audience were hand picked supporters of his space policy. Obama only spent 45 minutes there and then went to spend 2 hours at a fund raiser. Again your perceptions have no basis in reality.

Obama is waiting for the time to be right to naturalize all of them.

Political discourse would be so much better if people actually used terms correctly instead of adopting them as soundbites for the purpose of whipping up the more ignorant among the citizenry (by which I mean most of the citizenry, by the way).
