What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?

FYI



President Obama signed a law permitting guns to be taken into national parks. He signed another allowing guns as checked baggage on Amtrak. He acted to preserve an existing law limiting the use of government information on firearms it has traced.What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?
None whatsoever. And as you pointed out, gun rights have actually expanded during this administration.



Edit: Kevin, I believe the question is in response to the latest round of crap from Palin and Beck at the NRA
None that I know of... Your point? Should we all worship him for not taking our guns?



Is that what you are saying? Pretty funny.What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?
Ha none! I'm guessing you saw that windowlicker bleating about Obama taking away guns too? What a silly little child she is, she just lies and her idiot followers believe her. It's beyond ridiculous.
None



dont you just love how the right blatantly lies and gets away with it??What legislation has President Obama proposed to restrict gun owners rights?
How many supporters of ACORN need these kinds of lattitudes or at least are use to having them anyway?
none, not one.



this is just a right wing talkie point.



in fact, the NRA won't let members carry firearms into their meetings...
Easy, None. In fact, President Obama has not proposed any legislation. You see, if you read the first two articles of the Constitution, he is unable to have anything to do with legislation. That was an easy question.
Give him time, once he forms the Obama youth, his version of the SS, and his version of the gestapo, it wont take long to disarm us all.
I think you be mistaken

but regardless,

my guns are locked in my safe
He hasn't that is just another Glenn Beck lie that has been proven to be false.
Good question... he has actually permitted a larger area to possess firearms. The thing though is that anti-Obama people will not face reality and will demonize him in everything. I don't have a problem with people disliking Obama but like any other leader he will sometimes side with the so-called opposition... that's reality. I didn't like Bush that much but he did have policies I agreed with.
Hilary signed a treaty in the UN that outlaws private ownership of firearms. Obama loves this, as he can claim the UN has made legislation problematic for 'change'..the American Republic ( the real people, not Lemmings)would explode in rage and demand impeachment.
Good. It looks like has has actually done some good on 1 issue out of 1,000. Maybe he actually doesn't have a problem with guns, but more likely, I am sure he dislikes them like almost all other liberals do, but knows that to try to restrict them is a battle that can never be won in this country. Throwing a few scraps to the conservatives...just appeasement.
Why in the world does anyone need a gun in a national park? It's not like they're going to let you shoot your food or anything. And woopee, guns in checked baggage. Hope they're doing background checks on the people who work in baggage (and I don't mean criminal, I mean citizenship).



Just thought I'd give the anti-gun people something to fear about the guy they support.



But about your question: You're smarter than this. Obama has to stack the Court first.
none that have had my dad all in tizzy. He was beside himself when Obama was elected...lol He's alittle extreme about his gun rights. I love the mail flyers that NRA send out OBAMA IS COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!!!! They get him in an uproar...lol

Sorry i had nothing intelligent to add to this question..lol
Eric Holder is his point man and one of his first acts was an attempt to limit ammunition supplies. A gun is worthless without ammo.



"Responding to two Democratic senators representing outraged private gun owners, the Department of Defense announced last night it has scrapped a new policy that would deplete the supply of ammunition by requiring destruction of fired military cartridge brass.

The policy already had taken a bite out of the nation's stressed ammunition supply, leaving arms dealers scrambling to find ammo for private gun owners.



Mark Cunningham, a legislative affairs representative with the Defense Logistics Agency, explained in an e-mail last night to the office of Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., that the Department of Defense had placed small arms cartridge cases on its list of sensitive munitions items as part of an overall effort to ensure national security is not jeopardized in the sale of any Defense property.



The small arms cases were identified as a senstive item and were held pending review of policy, he said.



"Upon review, the Defense Logistics Agency has determined the cartridge cases could be appropriately placed in a category of government property allowing for their release for sale," Cunningham wrote.



The Defense Department liaison was responding to a letter yesterday to the Defense Logistic Agency's Vice Admiral Alan S. Thompson from Tester and fellow Montana Democrat Sen. Max Baucus. The senators argued "prohibiting the sale of fired military brass would reduce the supply of ammunition 鈥?preventing individual gun owners from fully exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We urge you to address this situation promptly."

______________________________________鈥?br>


ONLY after Holder's plan became PUBLIC did he back down!
None that I know of so far. I have never claimed he tried to take our guns. As a Senator, he supported gun control but so does virtually every other Democrat. I disagree with them but I really am not worried. The day the government comes for our guns will be the day we have a revolution. There are a lot of bleeding heart liberals out there who are also gun owners. Everyone would be pissed.



Anyways, Obama has yet to do anything as president about taking away guns. I'm more worried about his economic policies as of now.
He's interested in getting re-elected.



Any serious attempt will occur after 2012, if he is re-elected.





Can you tell us what he did to restore Second amendment rights in Illinois while in the state legislature or in the Senate?



Obviously he prefers an unarmed population.

  • How many stimulus bills do you think Obama and congress will pass before Obama leaves office?

    If the first stimulus hasn't even hit the streets how can they say it failed and we need another?

    Is Obama's inexperience showing, or is he trying to bankrupt our country on purpose?How many stimulus bills do you think Obama and congress will pass before Obama leaves office?
    He's trying to rapidly implement drastic changes to the nature and structure of the federal government the average American can begin to realize what's happening. His game so far has been to make the economy worse, blame it on Bush, then use the ever-worsening situation as grounds to enact even more socialistic legislation.



    Thanks to people like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul, however, Americans are beginning to catch on sooner that the Lolbama administration would have liked.



    To answer your question: 42.
    42How many stimulus bills do you think Obama and congress will pass before Obama leaves office?
    Looks like he's running us into the ditch on purpuse
    The sky's the limit with Obama. Libs only know spending, not cutting back.How many stimulus bills do you think Obama and congress will pass before Obama leaves office?
    His VAST 143 days of experience is glaring in everyones face now.
    As many as it takes to destroy America.
    Both.



    He is an inexperienced moron, but the first stimulus had very little to do with helping the economy, and everything to do with creating a crisis and garnering control of the uneducated.
    OVER 9000
    as long as they can benefit politically
    1,234,456,987,453,234,234,576,643,234,12鈥?

    oh wait that's how much they will cost my bad.
    After this one is actually spent, it really doesn't matter. 3 or 53, there is no money so what difference does it make?



    0'bama is the comic book version leadership.
    At this rate...3 a year!
    At least one more.
    JUST THE ONE

    IF THE STATE %26amp; LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WILL RELEASE THE DAMNED MONEY!
    Well, if there's already talks of a second one six months into his presidency. We're looking at 8 stimulous bills by the time he leaves office.
    if they pass the second they should know in 2010 they lose control. Only 27% of Americans support a 2nd one.



    Considering that 95% of the first one does nothing to create permenent jobs, i would say it is a good possibility already.
    He will pass as many stimulus bills and other spending packages as he can, and yes, he is trying to bankrupt the country on purpose. Whatever cripples the economy, enslaves our people to the government and weakens our power in the world, he will do it. It's Socialism 101, and Obama has been waiting his whole life to get here. I'm sure the revenge is very sweet for him. He seems to be enjoying the White House immensely. He's come a long way from his humble birthplace in a Kenyan hut, you have to give him that.
    So many that the last one will be paid in Chinese yuan.
    As many as Democratic Congress, the Senate and Obama can shove down our throats.

    His vast inexperience is showing, not only in the economy but in foreign policy. His talks with Russia were a joke and a rerun of the 60's decade.



    he is an incompetent and utter failure.

    Well BO has been issued a blank check and it is just a matter of getting the liberal congress to sign it. That is not a problem of course.I hope the BO backers and liberals react well to the pain at tax season.Oh ya most of the liberals like paying there money to BO's government...
    Funny that most money will come into the system to pay off the bribes the Democrats made to get into office right around 2010.....But the Dems started a controlled burn to get elected, and even he does not know how to get the this fire under control.
    As many as this criminal organization, formally known as the US Government, think they can get away with, until the American people finally grow a set and say, "Enough is enough" and remove these fools from office.
    As many as possible tell 2010.

    That is when the people will rise up and vote out the Democrats and that will be the last we see of a Democrat Congress for another 12 years and Obama will be a one hit wonder.
    What do you expect... This creature Obama knows only how to spend... He kind of reminds me of Michael Jackson
    Chicken Feed, is all it was, a few Months ago Republicans came up with a way to use the 780 Billion Dollars to use as one Massive stimulus Package, and that was to distribute that 780 Billion among all Adult tax payers and the math was done, It amounted to over $42,000 per person.



    Now what could you do with $ 42,000 ? Hmm?



    That would have taken us out of the problem we have virtually overnight, For those who are behind on Their Mortgage ? It could possibly pay it off or at the least take a Huge Chunk out of it See? The banks would get their Money?



    Those behind on their Car payments ? It could be paid off or better yet Buy I new car, That also helps out the Banks and the Auto Industry I mean Really, Come on. The Auto retailers would empty their Showrooms overnight and order for new cars in the factory's would be stacked.



    The Retail Business would profit as hordes of people would Flock to Walmart Buying things, That would help the economy , No ne can say it wouldn't.



    The Health care Industry ? well people who couldn't at First afford it, Can Now afford it at least for a while, That would help the health care industry.



    Homeless ? Those who are Homeless and US Citizens would be getting it too, Do you think they would be Homeless after that ? NO

    You Just Helped the Homeless That would disappear virtually Overnight.



    The 780 Billion ? The Nation would begin getting that Back almost at once as all those things Purchased would be taxed, so that helps.



    The List goes on and on, BUT NO Obama has to have His Socialist Nation. So now we watch this Nation go Downhill and those Idiots Blame Bush for it when it was not Bush's Fault, when the Democrats won the mid terms 2 1/2 Years ago they began Influencing Fanny Mae, Freddy Mack AIG and the others to approve those High Risk Loans, John McCain caught on to this on the Floor of the Senate and warned them about it.



    To No avail

    Now 7 weeks before the Presidential Elections the Stock Market Collapses ??!! Bull Crap, No ne can conicne me it was an Coicidence



    The Democrats Tanked the Stock Market, and then Collapsed it in order for them to take power so as to have their Socialist Nation.

    No one can tell me different.
    If it's more than one the Libs are done.



    They won't hold Congress after 2010 and the Obama will be gone in 2012.



    Passing a second stimulus would be like shooting yourself in the foot twice.
    1, the 2nd ones being talked about was completely fabricated and is a lie. I wont point fingers but the media knew about it and not tim geihtner so that says something.
    Over 100 billion of hte first stimulus has already been spent, but you are right that the majority of the money will be spent in 2010. When the economy recovers or shows signs of heating up, they will stop suggesting stimulus, or if evidence shows that demand is normal again.
    there are NO more stimulus bills being planned.....



    try and keep up..... you will have to listen to something other than FOX and Hannity if you want to keep up..

    What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?

    Within days of being appointed, Pailin was falsly accused by Obama supports of 'babygate' where they falsely suggested her baby was some one else's.



    Now that there has been a democratic break in of her email and posting on the internet by Obama supporters. What reposnibility should Obama hold for the eMailGate conspiracy? Is his campaign out of control? Is this Daly machine politics on steroids?What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
    Obama has incited anti-American fervor ever since he become the DNC candidate for POTUS.



    Does anyone doubt that he and his staff welcomed such illiegal behavior against the Governor of Alaska?



    NOBAMA!
    I don't know if he welcomed it, it was the son of a democrat congressman

    Report Abuse

    What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
    None, nobody who Obama has any control over is accused in anyway of being related to hacking into Palin's email. Hell, we don't even know if the people who did this are Obama supporters, they could be Ron Paul supporters for all we know, or not even vote. Most hackers do hacks for the notoriety, not for particular political reasons.



    I don't hold McCain responsible for the rash of vandalism of Obama headquarters throughout the country, why should Obama be held responsible for some kids hacking into a yahoo email account?
    Why assume is a leftist, its most likely the GOP behind it. This would not have been carried out by just any republican, it would have had to have been arranged by the campaign, maybe a rogue aspect of the campaign.



    It brings lots of advantages:

    1) Diverts attention away from the economy (as much as it can anyway with all the news were getting)

    2) Makes libs look bad and allows right wing talk show nuts to blame the Obama compaign

    3) Makes it look as though Palin did not have anything to hide in these emails

    4) Gives her a chance to delete the email accounts in question so they can't be requested / subpoenaed



    All in all, a win for the GOP, so it only seems logical they are behind it.What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
    First of all, most hackers are just brats and I would be willing to bet they are not registered to either political party.



    Secondly, why no outcry when the Bush administration was found to be reading American citizens' e-mail without a warrant? This was called "patriotic".



    Maybe Bush can give the hackers retroactive immunity for their illegal activity, like the telecommunications companies were given.
    Mich: "Anti-American fervor"??????



    Have you ever been out of the country? Did you get your passport *more* recently than Sarah-P??



    You want anti-American fervor ; spin the globe, randomly pick a spot, go there, say "Bush", then say "I'm voting for McCain"



    see you when (if) you make it back..
    None, because he has to do anything he can to get ahead. Obama is doing really bad in the polls.
    Responsible to share those emails to the public!! See what she is really hiding from everyone.
    Ghost of Tom Joad is right
    Why should he take any blame?
    The people who started Babygate were the people of her town %26amp; her family who told that she never looked pregnant %26amp; didn't even tell her closest family members. The 16 year old daughter was out of school for many months before, around %26amp; after the birth of the child. Don't blame the dems for this.....She has many enemies just like McCain does. Many republicans refused to go to the convention %26amp; this was months before his convention. So they acted like the place was so emply because of a storm far away. Really he is hated by many people he has fought with. Dems are the nice people that helped him by working with him on things. Why can't republicans see to get the basic understanding that dems really live the "love thy neighbor as thyself" %26amp; meanwhile one of them told him he was a Maverick for working on both sides. So anything positive that he can say about himself he says all the time, friends, maverick, war hero. It doesn't matter than none of it is true....It is amazing that you are blaming the dems. who are the ones that do what it takes to save people like you from you own ignorance...the republcan in the white house has accomplished his goal of letting this corrupt rich people take the money from 95% of the American so they can be filthy rich. You still are blaming the poor %26amp; the dems for everything. In a way I hope McCain does win so Obama won't be blamed for this mess. So people like you will know what it is like to lose you job or business %26amp; can see we are all connected. Then your will lose your health care %26amp; the stress will land you in the hospital with bills that will make you depend on things dems have designed so people like you can survive but the reps. have damaged the gov. so bad it will all be gone. So go watch the Grapes of Wrath movie it is old but it will prepare you for what is next. If McCain wins there is no hope except for the richest 5%. Not all of them are greedy of course some are so generous but people like you hate Oprah %26amp; Bill Gates %26amp; anyone who cares about others but with McCain maybe it will help you wake up but then again if you haven't yet then maybe rock bottom for you is never going to happen.

    Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?

    Why do they want to setup another latin dictatorship in Honduras and destroy the democratically elected government there?

    Now Obama is talking about sanctions against Honduras because it is proceeding by democracy and the rule of law, because Obama want to install a socialist dictator there?

    Why doesn't America open its eyes to this lunacy of Obama?Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
    George W wanted to spread democracy around the globe

    Obama wants to differentiate himself from George W

    Therefore he has embarked on a program of destroying democracy around the globe

    Then he will say how he has undone all the bad things Bush did
    What an awesome observation, you're so right, I agree with you.Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
    He isn't. No one who pays attention will buy your nonsense claims.
    Please learn all of the facts of this story before asking another question on this subject.Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
    I know how you feel. Just look at this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBV48awSi…
    Because he himself is a Marxist.
    Obama is jealous of their power.
    Because his supporters will prop him up no matter what, and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the negative.



    I keep saying, this guy could propose a plan to amputate the legs of all teenage girls born in states that end in a vowel, and half the country would think it's the greatest idea since television... and our withholding taxes would go to pay for the surgeries!
    You mean like Ronald Reagan supplying Iran with weapons through Ollie North during the Iran-Contra scandal?
    Dunno why there are so many blind Americans. The truth is very ugly some folks just cannot accept it.
    I agree. This is NOT the American way - his warped version of a country exists over in Russia or Venezuela - not here in America. Since Obama has become president there is a feeling that American capitalism is gone. That the dollar is no good anymore. That making a lot of money is no good anymore - that you will be heavily taxed on this “extra” money. That YOU should pay the mortgage of those who can’t afford theirs. That you should pay the health care for those who can’t afford it. This is the pathetic “community organizer” attitude that Obama is INFESTING the White House with. This is the same type of thinking and policy that will drive this country into bankruptcy and EXACTLY what Obama wants us to be - a run of the mill “nanny state” country - that HE controls. o_O
    This is all irrelevant. None of it involves bettering our lord Alan Colmes' life.



    Colmes bless.

    What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?

    Obama! Obama! Obama fever seems to be everywhere. You can't watch any news show without hearing his name mentioned at least a dozen times. It is like he was the second coming.



    But what has he done?



    Oh, that is right. He gave the keynote speech for the 2004 nomination of John Kerry. Wow. Fat lot of good that did. Kerry got whupped.



    Yes, Obama won a senate race in 2004. But he owes that win to the republicans. In the middle of the race, they dropped one loser candidate for another. It is not like Obama had a serious fight to win that election.



    Oh, yeah. Obama NOW opposes the war. Well! How politically correct he is!



    So what does Obama stand for? Well that is besides going to a beach in a swimsuit and getting his "pretty boy" face in the news.What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
    He has met the only requirements to run for office: born in the USA and over age 35.



    I agree with your analysis. People are interested because he does not have any "baggage." He does not have a history of voting and has not developed any legislation on his own.



    I do not consider him to be a viable candidate. He is a liberal. Liberals who run on their views do not get elected. Example: Walter Mondale.
    is your problem cause he is blackWhat has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
    He is a black muslim with no personality I have seen, and has the most liberal voting record in the senate. He is just to the left of Carl Marx. The Democrats are really tetched in the haid to consider such a man for president.
    And I thought it was every Americans duty, and right to support their Country.

    I guess you don't think he has a right or duty?

    What, in YOUR opinion should qualify a candidate?What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
    America, especially black America, is looking for another Martin Luther King Jr. The current black leadership does not have the history to fit the bill. Jesse Jackson had marital problems. Dr. Farrakhan has said too many negative things about white America, and the Jews to be electable. Charles Rangel is way too partisan and is all about pork for his district.

    Bottom line, a black leader needs both to have a clean past, be electable, and have a national stage, Barack Obama has all three. At least, until something changes.
    Nothing!

    If that is the best they have to offer, the Democrates are in deep doo-doo.
    Not much in my opinion. I think he is more of a poster boy for his party. He tends to waffle on many issues. He opposes the war but supports defense spending. I think he is just out there to muddy the waters.
    well, he is supported by all muslims in america, and how most americans dont vote, muslims and terrorist s.o.b.'s alike, voted for him
    Sounds like you haven't done any research on the candidates and that is why this country gets into trouble. You could start by going to your local library and reading one of his two books, or both, that will tell you how he was raised and something about his values as a person.



    Also, you could check out facts such as voting records, PAC contributions, associations he belongs to, and what he does in his spare time.



    If this is all too much for you, then you shouldn't vote, because you are uninformed.

  • Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?

    Can someone tell me the big difference between what Obama and the rest of the democratic party advocates for? I have yet to find any so far with the exception of centrist Bill Clintion and his wife (Yuck! I can't believe I just said that). Can someone tell me how Obama's policies are different than the rest of the democrats?Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
    Have you ever noticed that when liberals are losing an argument, they will often resort to calling their opponent "fascist" or "nazi?"



    Same goes for conservatives - whenever they start losing, they鈥檒l fall back on the old standby of calling their opponent "socialist" or "communist."



    McCain is truly getting desperate. The fact is, he used to support the EXACT same type of tax plan that he is NOW calling socialism. Check out the video:



    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kYsF1Mer鈥?/a>



    And by the way 鈥?what about Palin taking the windfall profits TAX from the oil companies and cutting a check to every Alaskan with it? If that's not "SPREADING THE WEALTH," I don't know what is.



    The McCain campaign is going down swinging, but make no mistake - they are going down.


    He actually belongs to the Democratic Socialist of America party, DSA. He also was a member of the New Party, a branch of the DSA.

    He was listed as a member of the Democratic Socialist of America party when he ran for Illinois State Senator in 1996.



    The regular Democratic party looks at the DSA as much more liberal and some even say it is radical. But this year unfortunately some of them do support the DSA candidate Obama. Some do not support him.



    If you look at the Hillary Forum they are stronger for McCain. So many will vote for him. Obama is just too liberal for them.



    See the Hillary Forum thread link below to see how they do not like him.



    (to Curious: luv the videos, thx)



    See the video of interview with William Ayers below.Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
    If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service,

    he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers,

    a known terrorist.



    If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard! how in the hell is he even qualified to be a candidate for the presidency.

    but, americans are DEFINETELY dumb enough to vote for this guy



    to answer your question though, the whole democratic party.
    Why don't you start by defining socialism. Because if you do i think you will find that there are no politicians in America, including Obama, that come even close.



    Just because Socialism and Communism are big bogeyman words doesn't mean they don't actually have meanings. I can call a cat a dog but that doesn't make it one.Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
    The entire democratic party. I know that the NRA is particularly nervous about Obama as president. He wants a 500% tax increase. So a box of rifle ammo will be $500.00 and a new hunting rifle will cost you $5,000.00. Obama is change we cannot afford.See for yourself.

    We (America) are becoming more and more socialist. Obama just wants to put the plan in high gear. Take away more rights, take away more tax money away from you and me, and give it to ACORN, Bill Aires, Rev. Wright,ect, ect ,ect.
    If Obama is a socialist to you, then McCain must be one too. McCain claims Obama wants to give checks to the 40% that don't pay income tax when McCain's health plan will give that same 40% $5,000.
    Most democrats are also socialist except for a few conservative democrats that have been shut out by the democrat party elites.
    The whole democratic party.
    to some degree, America has always been a socialist country.


    neither.

    Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?

    I mean, stop blaming Obama, we were in debt before he even ran for president. He inherited the problems of the country and people are still blaming him. He's proposed a freeze in government spending to help us save money, the job rates have been up since he was in office he's called for democrats, AND republicans to help with health care. He's doing his best guys being president isn't exactly easiest job in the world and results don't happen overnight.Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?
    And he added nothing to the debt? Pllllease.
    He can blame Bush for the economy and then Bush can blame Clinton, its an endless cycle.



    First off, Obama has not cut spending. And job rates are not up at all. So I don't know where you got those ideas, because they sure are not facts.



    Obama has spent more money than any President in history with his $787 billion dollar stimulus that he said wouldn't allow unemployment to go above 8%. That didn't happen. Then he said the bill had no ear marks, it had 9,000. That is not cutting spending, and that is not creating jobs.



    So when you want to say that he is saving money and creating jobs, you better have some facts to back that up.Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?
    A freeze will not help our situation. He has governed over so much increased spending that it will take massive cuts to get it under control.



    It is not just obama that should be blamed. Everyone who has been in government over the last 50 years has to shoulder some of the blame.



    His vision is very dangerous to our country however. I am a little dissapointed in the pace that the newly elected Republicans are moving. Something about getting to Washington is detrimental to sound thinking. Most of them should be cast out and quickly if we are to ever recover.
    He has NOT freeze government spending has he? The job rates have not been up since he has been in office, unemployment however has been up. He never asked the Republicans for help getting obamacare passed. In fact he ignored them completely. Reagan turned the economy around in two years and the economy was very bad when he became president. BTW, overnight must be a very long time to you because Obama has been president for about 28 months now.Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?
    Historically, Republicans have been very poor losers.



    They don't accept facts; they are history revisionists.



    Their guy practically destroyed this country, but they will never admit it.



    Instead, they choose to act like spoiled kindergarteners and stand in the way of anything that benefits the American people.
    He was part of that very Congress who spent like drunken sailors (last two years of Bush's term) before he became President and now he has spent 3 Trillion in addition to what the Dem's created, since becoming the President. It is his doing and he should be held accountable for it! He is destroying America.
    People at the top get to take credit for all the wins (like Obama's Peace prize) and are on the hot seat to create change we can believe in. Obama was not the change maker he claimed to be, he's more like Bush#3.
    You may be right, but do tell me, do you think we elected him to blame others , or to fix things?? All he has done is make excuses.A ;leader looks for solutions, not excuses.
    No president gets a free ride, he promised he would fix it. People are blaming him for not doing what he promised, they know he did not start this, but he promised to end it.
    Because the ones blaming him were the party previously in power and it COULDN'T be their fault!
    totally agree.

    he's the first to attack the deficit head on.

    though I don't agree that education should be hit.
    When exactly is it a good time for Obama to take any responsibility for his actions?



    2033 perhaps?
    Because they are Republicans whose candidate lost the election.
    Obama was not the change maker he claimed to be, he's more like Bush#3. :-)
    I am amazed at how the GOP openly complains about the size of government and the size of the national debt.



    Bush moved thousands of jobs out of the private sector into the government. He caused a large number of small business owners to close their business when he made the government take over the jobs private contractors were doing. This did a number of things including adding billions of dollars onto the government payroll, added thousands of new government employees pushing employee health care and retirement costs up, and cut into private sector jobs forcing small business out of the market,



    Bush also borrowed billions and billions of dollars from foreign countries and never repaid it or the interest due on it. Most of what he borrowed never even showed up as a debt until 2009. The money he borrowed and the interest now due on it is close to a trillion dollars.



    The GOP wants people to believe the size of government has grown under Obama and the national debt has been all his fault. SOme of it is; you can not do government business or any other business when the costs of everything else is going up; last years rates are history. The cost of government goes up every year regardless of who is president. The costs of the BUSH WARS still lingers on our national debt. His (Bush's) comments too the rest of the world ("you are either with us or against us") alienated much of the good will favoring our country and lost a lot of respect for our nation.



    Had the Republicans not been fighting Obama so much and had been trying to help resolve our problems we would be better off today.
    Some people seem to think Obama has the Pecos Bill magic; get half way through the problem and just turn around and go back. The problems America have contended with in the past two years started five years ago. Obama inherited them when he took office. We would like to have seen them fixed by now but the GOP stated even before Obama took office that they would do everything they could to see the Obama Administration failed and that is what they have done. The GOP has not done a thing to help fix our problems but rather fought everything the Obama Administration has tried too do.



    The GOP did not want to win the 2008 presidential elections. They knew fixing the mess Bush was leaving behind would take a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of unpopular decisions, They felt it was best to let the Democrats win and then blame the problems on who ever was in office.



    That is why McCain was moved from the back to the front and Palin was selected to run as his VP. That set up a sure loss for the Republicans.



    Had the Republicans been trying to help FIX AMERICA in the last two years instead of creating inefficiencies, hate, discontent and Obama failure many of our problems today would have been cleared up in the past two years.



    IF OBAMA IS TO FAIL IT SHOULD BE ON HIS OWN! Nothing can justify any elected officials attempts to create failure in our government!

    Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?

    A Technocracy is a Government in which the various aspects of society are run by those that know them best. With Obama's Choices for his staff being all across the board and being focused more on their ability to do the job well then their ideology, is Obama making somewhat of a Technocracy?Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?
    Possible. On the other hand we tried the 'faith-based', flag waving and cross shaking method of government. That didn't work out so well did it? Obama is a realistic kind of guy with a 'get the job done' mentality. He's a fact based decision maker, a good thing in a time when most of the 'facts' are against us. Does this mean he'll pull a prosperity rabbit out of his hat? No it doesn't. Sometimes in spite of the best efforts the ship sinks, the plane crashes and the boy doesn't get the girl. We may find a way out of this via the 'technocrats', but it's just as likely we'll all be characters as in 'Lost'.....forced to adapt to an entirely new situation with no obvious rescue in sight. Ah,well....we're Americans aren't we? Americans can do anything when properly motivated. I'd say the current situation is motivation enough to get us individually and collectively off out @sses and begin dealing with the reality we're in, not the reality we'd like. Wadda' 'ya think?
    It sounds like what he's doing fits the definition of your word, if that's what you're asking.Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?
    In a way this time round it is not a popularity test as to who

    .

    Gets what position

    .

    Kind of like I like that dude and I don't like the way that creep looks idea of picking who can do the job this time

    .

    Only this time Obama is using the idea of

    ,

    Do you know what the hell you are doing

    .

    Before he even picks someone to be considered for the position

    .
    Sure - - - and Al Gore is an expert on environmental issues.

    I do not trust any elected politician to have enough knowledge about science and technology to make a logical decision about anything.

    Free market investors are far better equipped to make logical decisions on how they need to invest their money to supply the world with what it needs - at a profit - the Government will do it at a loss, with lots of waste, and fraud.

    They will ruin lives. They will kill wildlife. They will produce little and all will suffer.

    Hold on to your pocketbooks.Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?
    Granting your definition I would say yes. But I don't agree that he is finding the best people for the jobs without regard to ideology. His selection for DCI shows that.
    No, you've got to be kidding! The word you're looking for is Socialist.
    Not at all. That would imply that he was appointing people which were experts in particular fields. That would be encouraging and real change. What he seems to be doing is just more of the same or worse. He's appointing a lot of old pols from the Clinton years. Furthermore, he in my opinion did the unthinkable. It was rummered that in two years he would replace Fed Chairman Bernake with old pol Larry Summers. The last president to do something like this was Carter who appointed Miller to Fed Chairman which resulted in disaster. Later he was forced to appoint a pro, Volker. From then presidents have appointed Fed Chairman with good technical credentials. It looks like Obama wants to go back to the old method of putting pols in office rather than the technical knowledgeable
    Good answers, everyone!!



    Nah, it's more like a Hollywood movie with an over-representation of minority stuffed shirts.

    Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?

    Governor of his home state,

    Blago is running all over him, literally giving Obama the finger, while Obama makes weak speeches at his podium?Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?
    Blago is a typical mobster. He is doing it, because he can. I don't have to tell you what happens to people, who screw over the Mob. Obama can't do anything now, but crap his pants, and wait for the next shoe to drop. No pun intended, President Bush.
    Because the Governor stated today that he's going to sing a pretty little tune to the FBI, America gonna love it!



    I think Obama getting a wee bit worried, if he is one of the Lyrics!Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?
    Without pre-conditions.
    Blago knows too much and Obama is worried. I wouldn't be surprised if Blago conveniently disappears or "commits suicide."Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?
    How is ANY president or president-elect suppose to control a governor? They don't work for the president, you know i.e. there is no chain of command there. As for Obama giving "weak speeches" on this matter, are you aware the the FBI asked Obama to hold off saying anything until next week?
    What exactly should Obama do? For that matter what does he have the authority to do?
    You know, sometimes it best to be silent and thought a fool then to open your mouth --or in this case, key your thoughts and prove it.



    President-Elect Obama is not divulging any Information at this time because he was asked by FBI to hold off until next week. His transparency will be revealed then. As I am sure you will be ready to absorb.
    I guess it's a lot like why we can't control stupid people posting stupid questions and I think you have to be pretty dense to think that a state senator has any powers over a state governor. You are a moron!
    He's not going to stand up to him he's going to sit down and talk, remember.
    he cant. obama is a weak leader.
    No person can "control" any other person.
    I don't know what happened with Blagovich and neither do you, and Obama has bigger things to worry about at the moment. I have yet to see the tapes where Blagovich was supposedly recorded.
    Obama can't put someone to death, just because of the fact they are an embarrassment
    Obama is going to be POTUS and with have no problem handling any foreign leader. Blago is going to jail. And your comments are not a question.
    No, I haven't actually heard him laughing at Obama. But it might help if you try it. You take yourself too seriously. Why not take a few weeks off, and relax?
    You better hope he can.



    HE IS YOUR PRESIDENT in a few weeks.



    To answer your "question" YES HE CAN !!!!!!!

    How do you think Obama has helped this country?

    I notice every time I comment on someones political issue and I mention something about Obama's failure I get a lot of "thumbs-down". What has he done to help us so far? Unbiased, curious question.How do you think Obama has helped this country?
    A very wise quote from an unknown author



    "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to the depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. Thus, the problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."



    He is a man that does not have the freedom ideals of self reliance, taking responsibility and being a representative of the people. His actions show through the laws he pushes despite the voice of the people, bailing out companies which destroys the meaning of capitalism, and wanting to expand a government. But as the quote says, it is the people who vote in such fool that is the problem. It seems that people no longer desire God given freedom.
    well I think it's far to early to start getting into how he failed and how he helped the country, we are still finding out how policies in the Regan era are affecting us let alone a guy that isn't half way through his first term. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And I'm not saying he doesn't have to be criticized now, just saying don't jump the gun on huge failures and successes with the little bit of information we have because most of what everyone is talking about is based on their own opinions of what should have been done without seeing the end results. Like the answer above, it doesn't sound like a good idea to him, so he has already proclaimed it a huge failure without knowing the end result. Forgot to say I'm not an Obama supporter, I didn't like either candidate. But I do agree the health care system needs fixed. I'm not an expert, but I don't think public safety should be in the hands of insurance agencies. I also have to add that while Obama has spent a crap load of money, so did Bush, but did Bush have to deal with this recession? the bailouts of the banks were globally accepted as a must, economies would not have survived with out them. A lot of you people are just reiterating nonsense you heard on the radio or TV without taking into account alterior motives that these people might have, or forming your own opinion based on researching and taking into account all other arguments objectively. It's all getting very annoying now that I actually have been paying attention to politics.How do you think Obama has helped this country?
    He has done nothing to help the "average America."

    Forced Socialized Health-care sounds like help to you? Because it sure as **** does not to me. This is America we can not, should not be forced to buy a Private product under Government rule.



    Second Obama's spending as already outpaced- and passed Bush. This is not opinion. It is a national fact!



    Lets borrow another 700 Billion BILLION dollars from China that we can not repay.
    When President Obama came into office, he inherited a national mess. He has tried to stop the downward cycle and is trying to stop the insanity of "big" business. The greater question should be asked, "What if President Obama did nothing and allowed this national catastrophe to just run its course?"How do you think Obama has helped this country?
    He is trying to get Health care to save America But not doing a very good job at it %26amp; America will get further in debt %26amp; Obama will make America become a week country %26amp; cause things to be worst then he all ready has, I would like to know when Obama is going to start doing his job.
    The lack of substantive arguments in favor of 0bama's policies will be all the answer you need.
    Nothing political-wise..



    but I mean if I HAD to say what he did good, I guess he "inspired" the black community?
    he's helped it toward destruction of the american way of life, that's about all.
    He's a putz and the liberals will never admit they blew it by being so naive.

  • If Obama wins and Republicans say it was Liberal media bias, will they finally admit Kerry was a plant?

    I admit Obama is playing the camera like crazy along with obvious wooing of the liberal youth but so what? How is choosing a bimbo for a running mate any better? Or lying about your past and pushing family values you never had? Both sides are dirty, so will Republicans admit Bush is a cheat?

    Honey, we Democrates are able to admit when we are less than perfect, but the Republicans aren't going to ever ever ever admit to ANY wrong doing, no matter how bad it is. Bush cheated in the 2000 election, McCain picked Palin to get the Hillary votes, but it is OK as long as they get to the top and rule. They will never never ever admit the TRUTH, because Republicans are born liars.If Obama wins and Republicans say it was Liberal media bias, will they finally admit Kerry was a plant?

    How can we trust obama's energy independence plans, when Jimmy Carter's didn't work?

    Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy in 1977. The purpose of this was to end the US dependence on foreign sources of oil and transition us to renewable energy sources. 33 years later, all we have to show for it is an annual budget of $24.6 billion, Energy Star appliances and curly cue lightbulbs. 33 years.



    So how can we trust obama's energy independence talk?How can we trust obama's energy independence plans, when Jimmy Carter's didn't work?
    you make an excellent point.



    Obama considers Jimmy Carter to be one of his mentors and has adopted many of Jimmy Carters old failed plans as his own.
    Reagan dismantled the program when he took office in 1981. As the gas crises of the 1970's faded into the past, people, including politicians, lost the will to make the changes. Believe me when you have to get up at 3 am and wait in line for hours to get gas not knowing if there'll still be gas to get by the time you get to the pumps, you want things to change. When you're out on a dark country road after midnight because you got a call from a friend of a friend who drives a gas tanker who said he can fill your tank from what's left after he's made his deliveries, you want things to change. When gas is easy to get, you don't care as much.How can we trust obama's energy independence plans, when Jimmy Carter's didn't work?
    Blame giant oil. Along with them blame Reagan, Bush 1 and 2. Big oil's best friends.
    33 years later there's new technologyHow can we trust obama's energy independence plans, when Jimmy Carter's didn't work?

    Is Obama's placing political stars nearby prove that he still needs others to boost his image?

    He has gathered the Clinton's and their former people. Caroline Kennedy from another famous family with so little experience in any area of life and politics, (unless you count the famous name). And also he has Rick Warren famous author of "A Purpose Driven Life" even though his particular religious beliefs are directly against Obama's support of gays. So is Obama all image and no substance.Is Obama's placing political stars nearby prove that he still needs others to boost his image?
    We've been trying to tell people that for months, they are just to busy swooning over him !Is Obama's placing political stars nearby prove that he still needs others to boost his image?
    I agree with you. So much for change...Is Obama's placing political stars nearby prove that he still needs others to boost his image?
    You're obvious proof that the Republican party is dead.
    Because he has done nothing and is nothing and has NO earthly Idea What the Heck to to Once he takes office.

    So Obama will listen to the will of the people in Egypt but not America?

    28 States, 33 Governors, The formation of the Tea Party all fighting against Obama-Care even 2 Judges declaring Obama-Care unconstitutional but he turns a deaf ear to us? Anyone else find this disturbing?So Obama will listen to the will of the people in Egypt but not America?
    Disturbing - yes. Surprising - no.



    He would rather cheer freedom for Egypt than for us.
    America has funded Egypt for decades.



    You are the ones turning a deaf ear not the president. He is trying to help millions of people and there are those going against it. Get a clue and facts not lies and hate and negativity.

    I am grateful that he has helped my elderly "white" parents and provide better health care and that his company is helping their employees to have decent health care. Republicans are funded by too many pharmacies and insurance companies to continue poor and expensive health care. You can have a good policy but you use it you lose it. Lot of young and middle aged people who have not been sick have no clue how it works or cost. But still Obama only came out with a watered down policy cause the republicans were having a fit which has angered many people also.So Obama will listen to the will of the people in Egypt but not America?
    I don't necessarily think healthcare reform is a good idea but this argument is silly.



    The president isn't required to do what 33 state governors want him to do. Nor does he have to do what the Tea Party or any other organization wants him to do. We have a republic. We elect the president and he gets to make the decisions for 4 years based on what he thinks is best. He isn't required to pay attention to polling - in fact presidents who do are often criticized for it and presidents who don't are often praised for doing what they think is right no matter the political cost.



    You are right. Some courts have found healthcare reform to be unconstitutional. But some courts have found healthcare reform to be constitutional. Just because a couple lower courts rule against it doesn't mean he is under any legal obligation to listen to them. It will likely end up being decided in the Supreme Court. If they find it unconstitutional, then Obama will have to listen.



    Another way your analogy is flawed is that Obama didn't support any side in the Egyptian situation. He ignored calls from the right and left to make strong public statements one way or another. Instead he worked behind the scenes with the Egyptian military to make sure the situation would not destabilize Egypt and possibly the region. Otherwise he kept out of it.
    America is free. Those people had half the opportunities Americans have so of course Obama wants to see an American alli better themselves. You should all consider maturing a bit and appreciate what you have and support other countries on their path to freedom. It takes a selfless leader to think about bettering the world along with their own countrySo Obama will listen to the will of the people in Egypt but not America?
    exactly, he is an inept leader incapable of leading. he is a johnny come lately. not one issue has he been on the front of, he even passed owe-bama care to the dem congress to figure out.
    I've noticed what you're describing from the beginning of Obama's administration, America suffers and he turns his back on the country.
    Obama is listening to the will of the people that elected him.
    I'm egyptian and I DO HATE it when obama interferes with our own affairs. that's not to help us but to show domination of his rich country over our poor country or whatever reasons that can NEVER be for our own good

    go to youtube and watch the Presidential debate.

    You can also watch the Vice presidential debate, they will explain everything they believe.

    Have a paper and pen and write the important things down. It will help you a lot. You will actually learn, and be informed.

    BTW: Jules is really ignorant, those are just her opinions, she sounds like an angry right winger that only listen to bias McCain campaign ads, some people will just never vote for Obama, they are just ignorant like that and refuse to see the truth. You see for yourself after watching the debates.

    How to be a Dem in 2008.



    1. Propose handouts for all, have no real clue about how to fund that!



    2. Tax the rich, chase away jobs and domestic investment.



    3. Welcome illegal aliens, give them freebees too!



    4. Hate Sarah Palin. Why? Who cares! Make **** up if you have to.



    5. Hate America! Publicly say you aren't proud of it.



    6. Be Socialist. Don't learn from history. Russia, Cuba, North Korea - here we come!



    7. Listen to celebrities talk about how to run a country, since they can't seem to handle something as meaningless as their lives. Makes sense to me. After all, Pamela Anderson has to be smarter than Gov. Palin right?



    8. Tell America you support our troops, then cut their funding while they're overseas. Thanks Harry Reid.



    9. Tell people you were a community organizer (don't explain what it means).



    10. Forget that the community you organized had more shooting deaths this summer than a warzone. (More people were murdered in Ch icago than soldiers killed in Iraq this summer). 125-65 if you're counting.



    11. Go to Harvard, then tell everyone you relate to the less fortunate (solely because you are black I guess).



    12. Tell small town people you understand them, tell rich celebs why they are backwards a week later.



    13. Do everything you can to cover up your history. It's better if people don't really know you.



    14. Claim you are pro-woman, but only if that woman has killed a fetus.



    15. Protect the made up right to abortion (choice), while working to destroy freedom of speech, right to bear arms,



    This is Obama in a nutshell. McCain is his opposite.


    Look for your answer within the ideals of both parties. That will give you a general picture of their political leaning.
    Ok listen, Barack Obama will change the direction of this country and by that I mean he will create solar and wind power things and he will help stop global warming, he does not support gay marriage, he will END the war, he will CUT taxes, he will lower the gas prices, and so much more. John McCain believes everything President George W. Bush believes or atleast 90% of what Bush believes.
    obama:

    1. alternative energy

    2. universal health care



    palin:

    in obama



    mccain:

    1. nuclear energy

    2. petroleum, making petroleum in other countries

    3. war



    biden:

    whatever mcain believes



    they both want the best for their country no doubt about it. they both really want the us to be the best country in the world.
    lmao Hermione Granger answer :

    FUNNY AS HELL



    i laughed really hard



    but anywho



    1) Palin is a conservative so she wants every strict like Pro- Life, against gay marriage etc.

    2)McCain is in the middle not a conservative and not a Liberal so like we supports the war and might be against gay marriage but be Pro-Choice.

    3)Obama is a Liberal Pro-Choice yadda yadda

    4)Like Obama, but he believes in civil unions instead of marriage for gays.





    don't trust me 100% here but close enough lol im just a 9th grader lol








    Does Sarah Palin believe we’re living in the “End Times”?



    John McCain believes it is strategically and morally essential for the United ... And I believe we can achieve that goal, perhaps sooner than many imagine.



    Obama believes that we must equip poor and struggling districts, both rural and ... While Senator Obama does not believe that we can simply legislate healthy



    What does joe biuden believe he believes he don't trust his running partner obama at all and he is having second thought of being by his side any more :)las08


    Turn off your computer, turn on the news and educate yourself. The fact that someone as clueless as you is even entertaining the thought of voting scares the hell out of me. You don't even know how to spell one of the VP candidates name and you think it's funny! Did you know you can research this stuff in about two minutes?



    Wow! The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with your average voter!

    How much longer can Obama continue to spend our tax dollars until we are in trouble?

    Obama is spend our money like a mad man. What would you do if someone had your credit card and just kept on spending with no regard to the amount?How much longer can Obama continue to spend our tax dollars until we are in trouble?
    Till 2012. Even credit cards have a spending limit, It's called available credit. He has to pay off all the people that helped get him elected, like AIG, GM, ACORN, SEIU, MSLSD. He is the perfect manchurian candidate.How much longer can Obama continue to spend our tax dollars until we are in trouble?
    Umm good questions I would assume just as about as long as Bush et al. mired Americans in a war which costs trillions and had yielded nothing to the American people but more hate and international distrust.How much longer can Obama continue to spend our tax dollars until we are in trouble?
    he signs the bills he doesn't collect the items in the shopping cart.
    We've been in trouble for years. I guess you never noticed 'cause you support the GOP.

    Should Obama step up funding teachers and essential workers before the whole country is up in flames?

    Republicans are trying to burn down the government but they know teachers won't teach their children unless they compromise. This is why Obama went to Wisconsin. To send a message to the republicans who lied their way into office: Keep essential jobs funded! Obama cares more deeply than any other president. He is involved with Nuclear nations down to racist cops arresting professors. Its refreshing to see a leader get into the mud of State politics and let them know who is boss. The tea party will not hijack this country, and they will be stifled and voted out.Should Obama step up funding teachers and essential workers before the whole country is up in flames?
    He already has the Federal Reserve printing up as much money as he can. Thats why the price of everything is going up
    It might be nice if the federal government would step up funding for teachers; however, most federal funding goes to impact aid for schools that continue to fail to provide an adequate education.



    My school receives less than $200 per student yearly from the federal government. The local impact school received over $5000 per student. Our average ACT score is ten points higher. While we stand in the upper third in the state in standard test scores, they are in the bottom ten schools in the state. More money does not mean much if it is only welfare.Should Obama step up funding teachers and essential workers before the whole country is up in flames?
    He's already got the printing presses running sweetheart.



    Expect to pay double for everything next year.



    At least we will still have our overpaid babysitters at work.
    Is that what happened this past November......huh. The biggest lier we have in politics, is in the White House.Should Obama step up funding teachers and essential workers before the whole country is up in flames?
    Nope.
    With what? The money tree in the Rose Garden?
    Okay, first off, you're a bit all over the place.



    Secondly, what happens in our economy today will impact deeply your opportunity to thrive and realize your greatest dreams for yourself. Your generation will pay for the inability of political leaders today, to make the tough choices. As with all lessons in life, every time you put off something you must do, when it returns, it becomes more complicated. This problem is enormous now and you, a college student, of all people should demand that we live within our means so you don't have to live with less.



    I value these essential public servants, but the majority of Americans resent is that public servants that have no competition in the marketplace, think they can muscle taxpayers. EVEN FDR AGREED THAT ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVANTS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO UNIONIZE. FDR!!!

    How do you Obama supporters feel about the Hillary supporters voting for Mccain?

    I mean after the way Obama treated her, how can you expect any different. It just goes to show that those Hillary supporters are not selling out to Obama. Hillary may be, but only because her debts are getting paid. Always remember ( hell hath no fury like a woman scorned). I think Obama should have been a little nicer to Hillary, Don't you?|||Obama is a king size ASShole, that is why these women vote MCCAIN!


    "Just no Deal Obama," this is a free country and we vote for who we like and not who the DNC decides!|||I think it is justified. After all, it's all strategy. They want Hillary to run in 2012.|||They can chalk it up to Obama's racism, and that of his supporters.|||Riddle: Who needs self-hating women?





    Answer: Only McCain (just look at his wives)|||They're morons|||I think Hillary was equally as rude to Obama during the primaries. Especially in the final days with the whole assisnation thing. But I don't think that it is to the point where they can't agree to disagree and move forward. However, if Hillary would have won, I would have been very disappointed, but I still wouldn't vote for McCain bc he doesn't support 1 issue that I care about. And I couldn't be that spiteful. Its like I slicing my own throat. I just couldn't. And anyone that does needs to grow up. Sometimes, life as you see it is not fair, but you don't switch teams bc you didn't get to play. There is always next the next game. You work harder and maybe just maybe coach will let you play!|||I think they are voting against everything Hillary stands for by voting for McCain. I don't know why people are saying that Obama treated Hillary unfairly. She was the one that was slinging mud and using scorched earth campaigning. I would have voted for Hillary if she had won the nomination, but this is getting absurd. Vote for McCain if you must, but don't do it in the name of Hillary.|||PLEASE LET THEM DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO DO. IF THEY WANT TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN. THIS IS AMERICA. LET THEM. PLEASE VOTE FOR MCCAIN. LET IT BE, LEAVE THEM ALONE. THEY DESERVE EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO GET. I KNOW MY VOTE WILL BE FOR..................!





    VOTE MCCAIN!|||i think it's Hillar-i-o-u-s! HAHAHA|||Are you a complete dumbass or what? Hilary didn't exactly kiss Obama's *** when they ran against each other. Anyway, I just think those people's ******* hurt.|||we are far from the sellouts we played by the rules and got BURNED and OBAMA cheated and got rewarded! AND we will vote MCCAIN! AND MCCAIN will win!|||I think it is great! Maybe Obama shouldn't have pulled a fast one to become the nominee and maybe his supporters shouldn't be vile and racist.|||Hillary wasn't exactly "nice" to Obama either. I don't think he was mean to her.. they were just in a tight political race. I think the people who are voting for McCain just to NOT vote for Obama aren't voting for the right reasons. Obviously Obama's policies are a lot closed to Hillary's that McCain's would be, so if they actually CARED about Hillary's stance on issues when she was running then they'd vote for Obama now. Otherwise they're just voting for McCain out of spite because they're sore losers.|||I don't think anyone who was really for Senator Clinton will vote for McSame. McCain is either an idiot who can't remember where he stands on the issues or he is the biggest liar in the world. He has even voted against bills that he cosponsored. Any one with an ounce of intelligence can see through him.|||we don't need them|||In the London's Telegrapher Clinton's friends said Obama was going to have to beg him to support him and that he could "Kiss my A$$".|||If Hillary's supporter's want to support Mccain it is their perogative. they're more than welcome to provide hope for the Mccain folks. we welcome the debate. and furthermore, those who prefer mccain over obama are people who never would've voted for a black man anyway. it has nothing to do with how obama treated hillary. Obama was the grown up in the primaries, and hill and bill were veterans who were short winded when it came to the young vigorouos black man from the Chi. we want change from the last centuries of uni-idealism. and we won't be fooled by the scare tactics you bafoons enlist either. Obama or die@!!|||I am not voting for McCain because of the way Hillary was treated. That's politics. That's just how it goes. It gets ugly and unfair sometimes. I am voting for McCain because I just can't trust Obama. I did try, but I just can't do it.





    And NO. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin!|||Well, if hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, I imagine Bill's undies are empty.





    No, I think Obama has been nicer to Hillary than she deserves and I sure am not happy to think that my money that I have donated to Obama is going to help her in any way, but I will not stop supporting his campaign financially because of that. Anyone who supported Hillary and now chooses to vote for McCain out of spite isn't thinking straight. There's a big difference and a lot at stake in this election. I think in the long run you aren't going to see many defectors from the Democratic party.|||if they want to vote for McCain out of anger, that's there choice





    Obamas agenda is closer to Hillary's then McCain's would ever be.





    and hillary didn't sell out, she's working to unit the Dems. if she was elected for the dems, I would vote for her 100%|||the way obama treated her?well thats just politics i think they both knew all along it would be one or the other so i really don't think its such a big deal thats what politicians do and if anyone sells out it would if they voted for macain and if they do they were never real democrats to begin with|||Obama was very fair and mature during the race. Don't confuse his supporters for him. You can blame the media and Obama's surrogates but I don't think anyone has any concrete examples of him treating her badly. He "should have been a little nicer"? Hillary herself said she didn't want anyone tip-toeing around her because she's a woman.





    Those hillary supporters that are voting for McCain are just being spiteful. And it's going to backfire. Voting for McCain with whom you agree on 10% of the issues over Obama with whom you agree on 90% of the issues is just ignorant. Voting McCain won't end sexism or media bias. Especially female hillary supporters. McCain is against reproductive rights (fertility treatments, birth contorl access, comprehensive sex education) and equal pay for women. If anyone's sexist it's him.|||I feel that they are the biggest sell-outs that this country will ever see.. if McCain is elected. %26amp; I will laugh my azz of when they see what how big of a mistake they made.|||i don't care if you want to vote out of spite, just proves your not voting on issues...b/c hillary and obama are much more similiar than hillary and mccain...if you want to vote for a man with his voting record on womans rights, then have at it...and Hillarys a big girl...shes been in politics forever...she knows how to play the game...and what does it say about her if shes only doing it to get debts paid...you support that?|||OK.


    God will vote for Obama come for November.


    Some of hose Hilary supporters are racist.


    God is angry with America right now. Flood, tornadoes, fires, Katrina etc.|||because they're bitter.|||If they don't get what they want, they'll stab you in the back. That's the Clinton way.

    Since Obama is deciding to ramp up the war in Afghanistan will Liberals still call this Bush's war?

    Obama said before the election he thought we should put more resources into Afghanistan and that's what he is doing.



    When does this become Obama's war instead of Bush's?Since Obama is deciding to ramp up the war in Afghanistan will Liberals still call this Bush's war?
    Conservatives can deny history but they can't change it. We had the Taliban on their knees in Afghanistan and taped conversations show Bush wanting to implicate Saddam with 9/11, so he started a war and diversified our efforts in Afghanistan and the Taliban re-groped and now, it can only be a draw.Since Obama is deciding to ramp up the war in Afghanistan will Liberals still call this Bush's war?
    Bush started the incursion into Afghanistan. After all these years, you cannot pull out precipitously without planning like Bush did going in. The U.S. has to stay in and will probably be there permanently. The military brass told Obama they needed more troops to get the job done sooner so he complied. Bush was told you need several hundred thousand troops to go in and come out quickly and he did not comply. We have killed thousands, displaced millions, spent millions on bribes, medical care for vets to last a lifetime, and we are deeply in debt to other countries. Remember what Colin Powell said about the Pottery Barn rule.Since Obama is deciding to ramp up the war in Afghanistan will Liberals still call this Bush's war?
    When Obama starts the war.



    When Obama ignores it to focus on starting a second war in another country for oil.



    When Obama then pretends that his new war is still part of the old war.
    Conservatives can deny history but they can't change it. We had the Taliban on their knees in Afghanistan and taped conversations show Bush wanting to implicate Saddam with 9/11

    How long will it be before the Obama administration attacks effective opposition?

    You have Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and others out there beating the drum to defeat HR 3200, Cap and Trade as well as exposing to the public the kind of people Obama has surrounded himself with. How long will it be before the Obama administration makes a move to shut them down? Will the so called "Cyber Security" Bill be one tool to get it done along with a "fairness doctrine?How long will it be before the Obama administration attacks effective opposition?
    Effective opposition is already under attack, and has been for about as long as anyone living today can remember if they paid attention. There are so many points of attack that it almost impossible to keep track of them all ... and that is by design. The mainstream media is complicit in silencing opposition to the liberal agenda - and has been for quite some time. It seeks to besmirch and diminish any opposing views by picking and choosing what stories are presented to those depending on them for their information, how issues are interpreted, and acts to aggressively reduce damage when anything threatening to Democrat personalities 'gets out of the bag'. Obama is essentially the equivalent of the second coming to liberal theology, and having succeeded at tearing down the previous administration and the Republican party as a whole, they managed to install majority like-minded radicals in both houses of congress prior to the Messiah's arrival. This is their version of 'heaven', with the United States being torn down to its foundation and reconstructed in the liberal image. And they are still on the attack.

    This is hope and change.

    And through it all, they have missed the most significant part of the message of conservative thought - and so did Republicans, which led to their demise. For unlike those who believe that the American people are 'too dumb to know what is good for them' and in need of 'massive government programs and regulations' to oversee them, the majority of Americans are conservative, and free-thinking. They can be duped, but only to a certain extent. The sheepskin providing the wolve's disguise has already been torn from it, and enough Americans know the peril that has arrived at the doorstep to be deceived any longer, no matter what the 'powers that be' do at this stage.

    We are on the brink of a real revolution, and I am not speaking in terms of armed revolt - unless tactics such as those some envision this administration capable of are attempted. I am talking about the American people overturning the mistake they were goaded into making in the election(s) of these socialist activists the media worked to propel to office through deceit and misrepresentation. I have faith in the American people and believe that threats foreign - and in this case - domestic will be resisted at all costs once they are exposed for what they are ... and they have been sufficiently revealed.

    Dramatic and radical attempts to silence the 'opposition' from here on out will result in a backlash that those who believe they can control us cannot comprehend. America will survive this; like metal tempered in fire, it will emerge stronger for having endured the flames threatening it.

    Watch and see.
    The pacifier is close to being thrown out of the pram as Democrats are also turning against his radical ideas.How long will it be before the Obama administration attacks effective opposition?
    Democrats have been using the IRS to attack Limbaugh for years and will continue to use every dirty trick to stop people from knowing the truth about their actions.
    I'm sure something will come up.How long will it be before the Obama administration attacks effective opposition?
    They are in the process now - Obama's diversity guy has to change a few laws first, then he will fine these guys exactly what they make forcing them shut down- giving the fine too GUESS WHO- Community org lefties radio..
    Hes been trying since before he took office. THey have the equal time bill to shut down radio stations that broadcast right wing radio. Look, the fact is that air america collapsed because people who believe that crap they spew didn't have jobs, they couldn't buy stuff from the advertisers.
    What happend to freedom of speach
    No, it will be our new FCC diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd gets his way and takes conservatives off the air in favor of the fine folks at NPR radio.
    yep.that new fcc czar is a whacked out socialist who publicly supports chavez.this government has to go.
    I'm sorry, perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought you said that BECK, HANNITY and LIMBAUGH were presenting 'effective opposition'. In what possible way could their additions to this discussion be labeled effective? Obama isn't going to shut them down. And they have nothing intelligent to add.
    They already have been. You don't really think that "Color of Change" is acting completely independently and are not politically motivated, do you? Especially considering that a co-founder.. Van Jones.. is an Obama advisor now.



    It's yet another ACORN-like organization just much newer and its roots haven't fully spread. It's sure heading in the same direction though.



    This 'transparent' administration is using all sort of third-party groups to do their dirty work.
    check out Mark Lloyd, our new 'diversity' czar and what he says about free speech, the media, and chavez's wonderful Revolution. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how things will go if they get their way.



    it isn't just one radical now advising Obama, it is now an established pattern. ironic how they adhere to rev wright's views and opinions of big old bad America. that is the change some voted for but i don't beleive they knew what they were getting.



    true american patriot....IF you were one, you would believe in free speech, even when you don't agree with it. that is what true american patriots beleive.
    Why does he need to? You have corporations (mostly run by Republicans) fleeing Beck's programs like the Irish folks left Ireland after the 19th century potato famine. Let's see what ClusterFOX does now.



    Also, the likes of Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh do NOT get to decide how people react to their hate speech.
    Why do Republicans hate the Fairness Doctrine?

    Does your party hate the ideal of an open and informed discussion.Reagan being the corporate whore that he was killed the fairness doctrine , what we have in its wake is a largely uninformed populace reduced to sound bite knowledge.

  • How is it that Obama says he favors the poor but is now advocating to cut social security ?

    Timothy Geithner Obama's new secretary of the treasury is urging that social security and medicare be cut. Isn't this what Bush was campaigning for?How is it that Obama says he favors the poor but is now advocating to cut social security ?
    Politicians. They never say what they mean and they never mean what they say.



    I think a lot of people forgot that Obama is just another politician. But at the end of each day, that is all he is. Can he be trusted? No. Can any politician be trusted? No. They just say what they know you want to hear so they'll get your vote come election day. After that you don't matter anymore.How is it that Obama says he favors the poor but is now advocating to cut social security ?
    ah yes,you get it! obama is just going to continue most of what bush has already started.same deal,different color!How is it that Obama says he favors the poor but is now advocating to cut social security ?
    the u.s government owes the sos trust fund 2 to 3 trillion$ he and bush bailed out the crooked bankers why not the sos trust
    The treasury does not right the budget, and Geithner still has not been confirmed that 1 vote was more then one vote.

    When Obama passes his Amnesty Bill will it be a requirement for illegals to learn English?

    Or will Obama just have a picture of himself on the ballot to make reading a non-issue?



    It's either English or Picture Pages on the ballot - what say you?



    We all know Obama's Amnesty Bill is about the millions of easy votes - so let's skip that part.When Obama passes his Amnesty Bill will it be a requirement for illegals to learn English?
    I agree, Obama knows that the key to him getting elected for a second term is an additional, say, 30 or 40 MILLION more votes on his side! He knows this will happen now that he can give out expensive health care like he’s handing out lollipops!



    There will NOT be a requirement for illegals to learn English. Picture ballots would work.



    This little unmentioned tid bit is why Obama promises “no illegal aliens will be covered under my health care bill” - because there won’t be - he’s going to make them ALL legal! Ha ha, joke is on YOU - you nasty, money hungry tax payer! Obama doesn’t like you - he doesn’t like Capitalism, he doesn’t like American values and he doesn’t like the Constitution. He views himself as a King and this was put in full view by that total joke of a “Health Care Summit” - he is clearly a danger to America and our American future. o_O
    No, it will be the other way around, we will be required to learn Spanish, just to make sure the poor illegal aliens don't feel offended.When Obama passes his Amnesty Bill will it be a requirement for illegals to learn English?
    Англо-русский словарь терминов по безопасности?
    I like the first answer...



    There is no such thing as an AMNESTY BILL - Yet.



    Just wait and watch.When Obama passes his Amnesty Bill will it be a requirement for illegals to learn English?
    comprehensive immigration reform is amnesty in disguise
    No, you will be required to learn spanish
    No such thing as an Amnesty Bill.



    GW Bush already tried it.

    Who Believes President Obama Needs the Power to Control the Internet?

    Two Senate bills No. 773 and 778 will grant President Obama the power to access private data, create an office of internet control and the power to shut down whole internet networks in case of a cyber-emergency.



    Who believes this is a good idea and why?Who Believes President Obama Needs the Power to Control the Internet?
    This is a bad idea. It is more government meddling in things it should leave alone.
    I was very intrigued by this and I read some of bill 773 and all of 778. I couldn't find anywhere that the president could shut down the internet. However I didn't read all of 773 and if you did see it, I would really like to know where it is because I could have missed it. That being said, what I did read made sense. A lot of our information is out there on various sites, and if they get hacked that would be really bad. An agency that would prevent this would be a very good thing.Who Believes President Obama Needs the Power to Control the Internet?
    Let's see .... China has penetrated the first and second defenses of our Naval and Air Force computers. The power grid has already been compromised - the computerized controls of some sections are being held hostage. Airline computers no longer function. Teams are working to defuse the attack, but multipronged attacks via thousands of civilian and military zombie computers overwhelm our fragmented defenses.



    Now, what would you do?



    This is, after all, the most plausible first-strike action any reasonably capable hostile would take.... and it would have been prepared years in advance by placing trojans, worms and viruses in carefully chosen computers - turning them into waiting, willing agents.
    Do you realize that every power grid, every single water system and most defense systems are vulnerable to cyber attack?



    Seems like you'd want some central authority to be able to stop it if you saw major power grids failing due to a cyber attack. Ever been in a major city when there is a big power failure?Who Believes President Obama Needs the Power to Control the Internet?
    that will be a terrible mistake if that pulls off. and why is he even bothering with the frickin internet and healthier cafeteria lunches for kids instead of focusing on the economy and unemployment and everything else that is turning this country into ruin? he's all talk and no action.



    and all those stupid senators, both democrats and republicans alike, don't do a damn thing either.
    It's a terrible idea because every time government attempts to regulate something it always starts with a valid good reason then evolves into complete control. We will one day wake up and be like China who has placed a lock and key over internet censorship for their society.
    Obama is really messing up!
    everyone knows that putting the master switch to the interwebs is a very bad idea.



    Soon everyone will know where the final boss of the interwebs is.
    OBAMA needs the POWER to stop lying to us.



    He also needs the power to THINK and ACT like an AMERICAN.



    The idea of giving this guy ANY MORE POWER than he already abuses... is a BAD IDEA.
    Not a good idea. Every layer of government involvement is manipulated as much as possible to allow them maximum power and minimum accountability.
    This sounds unconstitutional, and I really doubt it will pass. If it does, im going to call my representative and senators and sceam untill my lungs fall out.
    Big Brother was feared under Bush %26amp; now look at who wants a "change we can believe in". Both major political parties want to keep tabs %26amp; silence any opposition Freedom of speech includes opposing opinions being expressed.
    the whole internet? that would be interesting to watch.



    but yeah, thats kinda illegal



    but then again so is most of that health care plan
    Sounds like an invasion of free speech and invasion of privacy. Both illegal and unconstitutional.
    thats another thing he will mess up. why take the risk? :/
    Oh, boy! Just what we need. More government!!!
