"There may not have been marches in the street but there were plenty who rose to speak out against Paulson’s recommendation to bailout and spend last fall.

"Congress even took it off the table for 2 weeks to build up the scare stories for America.

"Barry has said that he didn’t initiate such changes but it still offers no excuse to continuing the revolution over the American economy."

Too many good points not to repost your whole comment! You're right, at the end, people did start making a ruckus. I just wish people (ABSOLUTELY including myself) had done more, louder, sooner.

You're right about Obama's lack of excuses, too. Just as previous inaction doesn't invalidate the current protests, previous wrong action doesn't make continued wrong action somehow the right thing to do.

He's done it again this summer. He cited a woman (fake?) who reportedly (according to his people/TOTUS) said "I don't want socialized medicine... AND DON'T TOUCH MY MEDICAID!!!"

The implication being she's satisfied to accept Medicaid (imlicated as a form of Socialized Medicine) but it does NOTHING to dispell the claims that Obamacare IS Socialist.

Is he trying to say, "don't let that word Socialized scare you..."?
