Prime Minister Gordon Brown Address to Congress
White House Has A New Target - Bloomberg
The other day Obama's address to us featured Health care and the economy! Please watch the videos. Economy, health care are themes of weekly videos from Obama and Blunt
Obama emphasized fiscal responsibility and much needed health care reform to what is now a broken country out of cash on hand but I do believe with 47 million uninsured which is really sick not is the time! Obama I am afraid underestimates it because of Bush's lies and cover ups but he said his administration inherited a $1.3 trillion budget deficit, the largest in history.
I do know for a fact Obama inherited a budgeting process as irresponsible as it is unsustainable. The real cost of the wars was hidden and not even included in the Budget. For years, as Wall Street used accounting tricks to conceal costs and avoid responsibility Washington did, too. The example of corruption and do what you want while taking what you can came right from Bush and trickled through all of Government and our entire infrastructure.
Finally, A president of responsibility an accountability as Obama stated that these kinds of irresponsible and inexcusable budgets and practices are now in the past. For the first time in many years, my administration has produced a budget that represents an honest reckoning of where we are and where we need to go." How can you argue with President Obama?
A sensical reasoned man can not but we are talking Republicans! Representative Roy Blunt delivered the Repuglican response and he could not argue with the lying under handed Budgeting tactics employed by Bush to fight his wars and due to the bad example coming right from the top and trickle down it spread throughout Wall street and is why we are in this mess!So! He ignored that and focused his stupidity on Health care!
Blunt lost his thinking and reasoning when he said he agreed with President Obama that if you like your current health insurance plan, you should be allowed to keep it. Okay? Then he went on to say he was concerned that if the government steps in it will eventually push out the private health care plans millions of Americans enjoy today. This could cause your employer to simply stop offering coverage, hoping the government will pick up the slack.
I don't gather that and I wish the party games would stop. Republicans should at least make believe believably that they care about average Americans and what is right for them and not the Republican party! This is Obama we are talking about not Bush. I do not believe he is stupid! I like the idea of keeping your company and current insurance if you are happy with it. I believe we already have a law requiring employers with 10 or more employees to supply insurance. At least we do here in Massachusetts and it can be instituted around the country!
I do not like Romney and he had that still imperfect system set up here in Massachusetts with the intention of implementing it around the country if elected. But then it would have been alright because it would have been a Republican plan! I heard a debate on CNN about the Canadian plan and the Republican was talking about the long lines and how inefficient the system was and many people were unhappy with it, Rick Sanchez happened to have a nurse originally from New York with first hand knowledge of the inequities of the system there between the haves and the have nots. She was currently a nurse in Canada for 10 years. She said the system was wonderful and everyone got equal treatment and there were no long lines. Of course the Republican got mad and said he would have gotten people to support his stand if he knew Sanchez was going to do that.
That isn't the idea! I am sick of the standard Political games! The right thing has got to start to be done not for the party but for the people and Obama is the one to do it! I am sick of hearing the BS that Republicans are committed to common-sense solutions that promote competition and innovation." WTF? If that was true what the hell have they been waiting for? This grand old party of concern and innovation is staying true to their colors!
Obama is right! It is about time we have a President with more than half a brain and wants to do the right thing for the country not himself. I have said too many times that any idiot can look good when things are going good but you do not know what you have for a leader until times are bad. Well times are bad and we are seeing that we have the right man at the right time!
Obama: Crisis is time of `great opportunity' challenges us to discover great opportunity not just survival
This bothers me as US judges see red herring in mortgage cramdown fear Mortgage Bankers fear the very core of their industry will be destroyed. WTF? What the hell does that mean? They already did that for Average Americans.
Their fear is it will be destroyed to the point they can no longer enjoy huge corruptive illicit gains! So the crap is being spread by the cramer's of the industry and the industry itself that Obama is responsible for the declining stock market. They forget Greenspan's lies and Bush's cheerleading created this inflated mess and it was due to deflate once a Democrat was elected. It was kept semi stable by Bush so someone else could take the hit! Obama is the fortunate or unfortunate one depending on whether or not you look at it the way Obama does!
Is Obama Hurting The Stock Market? As you know, this collapse was set up by Greenspan for Bush and timed to occur on Democrats watch! The market was inflated by lies and cheer leading and had to go back to normal once the truth came out. It is all about Bush the liar not Obama the healer!
Now this is great Obama to End Stem Cell Ban Monday Now the country has a chance to move ahead in this very important field. With the Government behind this, this field can really be good for our economy! Of course the idiots on the right are playing their games.
Congressman Labels Obama 'Abortion President'
Reversing stem cell research where life is not destroyed makes Obama the Abortion President? Someone help me here, that is a hell of a leap! Nascent life? Better alternatives? If they exist why didn't Bush employ them? I expect great things in the way of green energy and not just stem cell research but discoveries helpful to man in every category because of Obama and his administration over the monstrous stimulus dollars!
Meanwhile Obama: Stimulus plan is already saving jobs
Has Gordon Brown's meeting with Barack Obama restored his fortunes? You better believe it! The world knows the value of Obama if the Republican party does not!
Fight Brewing Within GOP Over Soul, Future of Party
I have to tell you! Nothing has changed besides the fact that the Right is more disheveled and ignorant than before as they strive to destroy Obama and return to the policies that sank us on purpose in the first place! Republicans will hopefully self destruct for a few more generations but I am pleased at the way the world has received Obama. I was very pleased with Gordon Brown's visit and must say that was the best performance I have ever seen in our Congress. I am sure Brown's performance will be well received in Britain as I have faith Brit's have more sense than Republican's!

Love the Brit's, always have!
Yes, rethugs want Prez O to fail 'cause they hate him so much, can't stand the idea he can do more than one thing at a time. And they have their media hacks out ranting away about it.
Thank goodness we have the likes of Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann to counteract their idiocy. Jon and Keith's comical approach to the right's stupidity is hilarious.
Hi Karen
Love the Brit's My Grandfather came from England my Grandmother from Ireland. They met and married on the boat over here. I get my personality from them.
That was the most life I have ever seen in our Congress! I do love Olbermann and Stewart they really know how to make a joke and get the truth out. Love it!
Brits do appear more aware of the world. Maybe that's just the impression given from the BBC.
Their Independent and Guardian make our print media look like right wing propaganda.
Blair and Brown have hardly been progressives, though. Note their hard turn to the right on cannabis persecution and surveillance.
Jim~ Love your story on your Grandparents! My Mom came over on the boat from Yugoslavia when she was nine years old.
My Grandfather and Great Grandfather fought in WWI while they were in Austria in 1918. Wish I knew more about them, but I guess we all would like to know more about our ancestors. :o)
Hi Dave
I know and I think the Brit attitude has been borne a long tumultuous world experience. At least Brown realizes we have to get out of this together.
Having a conversation with one of my sons he agreed in the past we have gotten out of this with spending usually war. Obama is being criticized for trying to spend his way out of this.
We both agreed we would rather buy our way out of this in Peace not war!
Hi Karen
I like yours too! That was the rest of the story! My grandfather was born in 1885 and joined WW1 to get his citizenship.
My Grandfather was born on the boat coming over from Ireland. I knew there was something I liked about your personality. Kudos to your Grandmother. ;)
In the Bloomberg video, what planet do you suppose Kevin Hassett came from? 'If some angry voter mugged Limbaugh, it would be blamed on Obama.' What the ....?
As for socialized Health Care, you know my position. There should be NO privatized Health Care. Don't try handing me that line about 'Long lines and poor services' or 'the government can't run anything successfully'. If the politicians had to stand in the same lines and recieve the same services everyone else had to, there would be no lines and the service would be top-notch.
Brother
I have to laugh! When you started with my Grandfather was born on the boat over here I was expecting a punch line.
The only one not of the boat was my Grandmother half American Indian because her Grandmother was raped by one of those righteous Americans.
You know, I love the idea of socialized health care and I like your thought that if Politicians were also part of it they would make sure it is the best. I hope Obama does that somehow!
Must be so horrible for those Repugs to be living in a world of walls and no doors filled with the stench of their arrogance.
They always have been at least since Bush but the Repugs are their own worse enemies. At this point they really must be making themselves sick!
