President Obama addresses a joint session of the U.S. Congress.
AND IT’S A GROUNDER!
Ya can’t bash your opponent and call their protests ‘games’ and then talk about working together. What a thug.
Or was it a fowl to left field?
- Ezekiel Emmanuel, Rahm's brother, key Administration Official on Health Care.
So, Obama the marxist says he is going to save enough from one huge, inefficient, wasteful government program, Medicare, to pay for an even larger (eventually) also sure to be enefficient wasteful government program, Obamacare.
DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT BRAVO SIERRA?
Can you possibly trust or believe after the stimulus, bail-out, and Cash fro Clunkers fiascos that this is what will happen?
No.
Read the bill the Democrats put forward. it is a HUGE government bureaucracy.
...and, it will lead to giovernment officials deciding the standards for who gets coverage when...basically...death panels.
This is the theory of the night. We are going to pay for this new Health Care Program by relying on the government that created waste fraud and abuse in the Medicare program to eliminate it.
I felt as though he was trying to sell me some rock cocaine.
His pitch did not make it to home plate!

As an employer I was not moved by The President’s speech. I have seen my business grind to a halt as this economy is on life support and creating more ways to tax my business will put more folks on unemployement in the fourth quarter.
Good jobs are leaving America as the democrats want to tax business to death. Add on Cap and trade and other issues and America is done as a capitalist nation.
I don’t need to provide jobs for almost 300 employees when I have enough for my immediate family for a couple of generations. But my family has run this Business for over 85 years employing hard working Americans.
Does my congressman or my President really care about the 300 employees?
I care for them as that is why I keep my family business open. I know the names of the husbands,wifes, kids and grandkids.
Mr. President should I stay in business or do you tax my business out of business?
Time to stop the bickering, he says. Fine. Then he and his minions should stop their vile personal attacks.
Wearing that same suit from inauguration day? Come on, let’s see some variety. He is getting to be a dull dresser on top of everything else.

Wednesday has nine letters
September has nine letters
Obama just added 9 trillion to the deficit
Scary!
The pitch is a dirt ball.
Definitely birdlime.
Hey, buddy. He doesn’t pitch like a girl. I know women how and rip his head off with a fast ball.
He throws like a daisy.
“Ouch!”
“Ow!”
“Hey, quit hitting me with that stuff!!”
“What? These? Olive Branches.”
The only thing he can throw is a hissy fit.
Fixed it for you.

Who you gonna beleive, ME ot yo lyin eyes?

Hats off to you and those like you. I hope you and your company are able to weather this current storm. I wish I had an idea clever enough to market and put people in jobs.
I wish you well.
I think that many business owners continue working not because they have to, or because they just have to squeeze out a few more dollars. They do it because it’s what they do, I won’t say it’s a hobby as that is too flip but they do it because it’s their way and it is fun...take the fun out and they will close down and lots of people will be out of jobs.

OK. How about the female gender?
What about it? I’m in favor of it >:-)
Epic FAIL.
And there you have it. The repubs will cave and gov’t will control the majority of our lives.
They still don't get it. Gov’t (state or federal) have NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to do what they are planning on doing. That needs to be the overriding point to be made.
OBAMA CALLED A LIAR DURING THE SPEACH!!!
there is a youtube video
That, too. =)
Who are Obama's opponents on this thing? The "American People" because not one single republican can stop this legislation from being passed! So, everytime Obama goes infront of the public and talks this way he's dissing American's.
Now, that is nothing more than boldfaced idiocy!
Obama doesn't need any repub votes, that's what's so convoluted about this. He needs dems, and he's dissing and lying to the American people trying to get bluedog votes.
He is incapable of the truth his whole existence is a lie.
Exactly!
I work to benefit my employees. My friends who are my extended family. I’m the fourth generation in a Family business in a dying industry.
I drive to work like you do, looking at traffic. Looking both ways all the time, I trust no one, and I see all. I'm a good driver and a good observer.
Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, hvac guys, movers, union guys with big company's, and tons of landscapers, painters and scrapers and independents. They all seem like their having fun to me.
Owning a business and running and growing it honestly, means cheating yourself of time, money, and fun time. Like family, music or other hobbies. That's why owning a business is fun. A challenge, and a bet you invest years into, evaluating everything you can, and everything you expect.
A purpose in life doesn't have to make you rich, but pursuing your dreams should be fun in the process.
“Houston, we have a problem”
I do believe we’re in the same stadium, rootin for the same point, but at opposite sides of the field.
A little misread on the signals. :^)
