Americans can’t really be “studied.” Only Americans understand Americanism. The rest of the world simply looks on in baffled fury.

Me neither. Multiple problems: the abortion language, tax on high value insurance plans, which infuriates key RAT constituency. House really wants to tax “rich people” to make their union buddies happy.

Heh heh heh. That’s why we have two groups in this country. “U.S. Citizens” and Americans. Most “U.S. Citizens” don’t understand what it means to be an American.

Yeh, he might be used to a different constituency — one that he can sweet-talk and threaten.

Yes, poor blacks on the south side of Chicago. He and his hustler buddies like Rezko played them like a fiddle. He just assumed he could manipulate all Americans like that.

Obama's "community organizing" left Chicago neighborhoods in ruins.

Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

He just destroyed these people's lives for his own profit and that of his cronies and he's trying to impose the same welfare state destruction on the whole country.

What possible government plan will we get if we want them to focus on the economy?

The only way to fix the economy is for the government to shrink with roll backs for corporate taxes, capital gains taxes and income taxes. I don’t see this happening.

I like Obama p*ssing away his presidency and political capital on trying to implement socialized health care, as long as it doesn’t pass.

I don’t want it to go down in flames, I want them to continue wasting time. If Obamacare goes down in flames they will start immediately on giving amnesty to 15 million illegals, not fixing the economy.

SET THEIR LOCAL AND DC LINES ON FIRE!

PLEASE ASK THEM TO REPEAL THE BIG NEW FEES in TRICARE for Life, the retired Military over 65 secondary health ins. which they passed in a DOD bill. They promised our Military these benefits, and our Military have earned them.

Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
