Ya can’t bash your opponent and call their protests ‘games’ and then talk about working together. What a thug.

Just to pick on one, of many, outlandish claims...

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 REALLY, REALLY hate that condescending lecture style--or maybe it is a pulpit style he learned from Jeremiah. Pointing that finger and trying to look fierce--ends up looking like a well dressed Chicago thug.Uh-oh, I spoke truth.

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.

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.
