Who’s the Liar Now, Mr. Obama?

September 18, 2009 by Chip Wood 

Who’s the Liar Now, Mr. Obama?

It isn’t easy to upstage the President of the United States when he’s delivering a speech to a joint session of Congress. But Rep. Joe Wilson managed the feat 10 days ago, when he blurted out, “You lie!” during President Barack Obama’s pitch for his healthcare proposals.

Legislators from both sides of the aisle were quick to jump all over the Republican congressman from South Carolina for his rudeness. Katon Dawson, the former head of the Republican Party in South Carolina, opined, “If Joe’s mother or father were alive, they’d take him to the woodshed and whip him for bad manners.”

Before the night was out, Wilson had been pressured to call the White House to apologize. Not content that Rep. Wilson apologized directly to the White House, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her cronies demanded he also apologize on the House floor. When he refused, they voted 240-179 to "disapprove" his actions. Ah well, at least it distracted them from spending a few billion more of your tax dollars for a day or two.

By the end of the day last Thursday, Rob Miller, his opponent in last year’s election, reported that he had received some $400,000 in contributions from 11,000 donors to help him defeat Wilson next time around. Wilson promptly announced that he too had received a big chunk of moola from patriots who want him to stay in Washington. Looks like next year’s election in that district will be mighty interesting.

Lost in all of the hullabaloo were two things worth mentioning: First, Wilson’s outburst paled in comparison to the treatment President George W. Bush received on numerous occasions from his Democrat opponents. There were times during George W.’s State of the Union speech in 2005 when there were so many jeers, cat-calls, mutterings and murmurings it was difficult to hear what he was saying. Anyone remember the liberal media expressing its outrage then?

But my second point is far more important: For all of his impoliteness, Wilson was telling the truth. Obama wasn’t.

Wilson’s outburst was in response to the president’s claim that nothing in the Democrats’ proposals would lead to federal funding of healthcare for illegal immigrants. Wilson knows something most Americans don’t: Liberals in Congress have defeated every single attempt by Republicans to put such provisions into law. Of more than 20 such amendments that were introduced in the past year, not a single one has been allowed out of committee.

No wonder Wilson was so upset. He knows what’s really been going on behind those closed committee doors. He knows Obama was playing fast and loose with the truth. And so did everyone else in the House chamber that night.

I wasn’t surprised by all the blatant falsehoods in Obama’s speech. For me, the tone was set in the first five minutes, when the president told the assembled lawmakers, “I am not the first president to take up this cause. But I am determined to be the last.”

That may have been great rhetoric. The assembled Democrats obviously thought so, because they gave the president an enthusiastic standing ovation.

Yes, it might have sounded good. But it wasn’t the truth. And everyone listening to the president knew it.

Is there anyone anywhere who honestly believes that the government’s role in providing healthcare for the public will no longer be an issue when President Obama leaves office? That no one on either side of the aisle—Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative—will ever introduce new legislation to “improve” whatever system Congress agrees to during Obama’s tenure?

Give me a break. This debate will continue until long after your great-grandchildren have collected their last Social Security check. Obama knows that. So does every member of the House and Senate who sat through his speech that night. And to pretend otherwise is nothing short of political duplicity. (That’s a more polite way of saying, “He lies!”)

Another obvious fantasy in the president’s address was his claim, “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future—period.”

Let me see if I’ve got this right. Under ObamaCare, some 40 million Americans who currently do not have health insurance will suddenly get coverage … and it won’t cost taxpayers a dime? Does anyone believe this?

I was amused to hear the president say that one reason his plan would be more efficient is that the government-run program, unlike private insurance, wouldn’t have to make a profit. Nor would it have to pay all those expensive executive salaries.

Has anyone anywhere found one example of a government-run program that is more efficient than private enterprise? Anyone? Anyone?

It’s hard for me to believe that any adult American could be so gullible as to believe this. What I do believe is that a majority of Congress will pretend to believe it, knowing that a bunch of their constituents want it to be true. (Or, far more likely, don’t care if it is or not, so long as they get all those “free” benefits they’ve been promised.)

Another misleading remark in Obama’s address was his claim that “no federal funds will be used to fund abortions.” Did you notice that not a single pro-abortion legislator (who as a group are probably the most outspoken extremists in Congress) said anything in opposition to this part of Obama’s speech?

That’s because they know the fix is in. Despite repeated efforts by pro-life legislators, not a single proposal to put this into law has been approved in Washington. No matter what Obama says now, the pro-abortion crowd is confident that whatever legislation is finally approved, it will include a provision requiring that so-called “public option” health insurance covers abortions.

Finally, let me say a few words about the part of Obama’s speech I found the most offensive. That was his “my way or the highway” attitude. He accused talk radio hosts, cable news and conservative leaders of deliberately spreading falsehoods. He wants you to believe that everyone who opposes his plan to nationalize medical care is lying.

There was not a word of criticism for the attack dogs on the left, such as House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who called opponents of these plans “un-American.” Or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who labeled those who disagree with him as “evil mongers.”

After denouncing virtually everyone who has disagreed with him, the president then said, “Now is when we must bring the best ideas of both parties together.” The amazing thing to me is that no one laughed out loud at the hypocrisy of such a statement.

As every conservative on Capitol Hill knows, there has been absolutely no effort to include them in this debate. Their ideas are not welcome—and neither are they.

To say that conservatives and libertarians have never offered any constructive suggestions about healthcare is a flat-out lie. Anyone who cares can check out proposals on “How to Insure Every American” by Republican Representatives John Shadegg and Pete Hoekstra. Or the very sensible ideas for health-care reform by John Mackey, the founder and CEO of Whole Foods. Or the detailed analyses and proposals from the Cato Institute, Reason magazine, the Heritage Foundation and a dozen others.

Republicans haven’t been included in negotiations on Capitol Hill for months. House Speaker Pelosi has shown nothing but disdain for those who disagree with her. Nor is it any different at the White House, where conservatives have been locked out of discussions on healthcare since early spring.

While he says he wants bipartisanship, Obama means he wants opponents to sit down, shut up and go along with his proposals. He seems determined to use the Democrat majority he enjoys in the House and the Senate to ram through the most drastic reorganization of healthcare this country has ever seen.

He doesn’t want to debate, he wants to dictate. We’re about to find out if a majority in Congress will let him.

Until next time, keep some powder dry.

    A well-known civil rights leader once said, ‘character counts.’ Character must matter. When it doesn’t matter, America suffers.
    America has paid a high price for enduring politicians and their self-serving schemes. What obama has done is not new. However, this is an extremely critical point in history for America. It needs to be said that truth is an ideal that must be fought for daily. If we believe truth will set us free, then we must understand and admit that lies corrupt and enslave us.
    Who among us could love lies and hate the truth?

        The south lost the uncivil war. We have moved on, you haven’t. I think the biggest
        problem is that our wonderful nation elected a black man. Man up, we have a lot of work to do.

          Oh, that’s just great. Throw the race card you idiot. A liar is a liar no matter what his/her ethnicity is. Are you so ignorant to believe that anyone who disagrees with an African American is “racist”. People like you are more racist for even suggesting that.

          • Crystal says:

            I don’t care what color the president is or the author of this poorly written article. personally i don’t know a lot about the details of politics right now and its mostly due to this sort of poorly written propaganda. A lot of accusations have been made against Obama, however, no evidence supporting the claims is listed. it is making the claims assuming that everyone knows the hidden facts and its all just common knowledge.

            Claiming that “everyone knows” something doesn’t make it a fact. There is a lot of claims in this article that the only supporting evidence states is “and everyone knows that”. Come on, give yourself some credibility and state some facts, with sources, so that we the uninformed can look up and verify.

            Vilifying people by calling them disparaging names such as “cronies” is simply school yard bullying. If you want to show me how bad Obama is, give me real solid evidence. Otherwise your hot air is no better than the claims of the president himself. Oh except for one thing, I can go to Obama’s website and look up actual government documents and see who actually voted on what and see how the bills are worded and decide for myself what is true and what isn’t.

            All this political mudslinging without evidence is a huge disservice to the American people.

            Mike,
            I couldn’t agree more. It’s not about race and I too have grown sick and tired of the (WORD REMOVED FOR OFFENSIVE CONTENT) race card being played. Early on I was going too vote for Obama, I was once a Democrat. It didn’t take long too figure it out however, that this is NOT a good person. I was a Democrat for close to 40 years, 3 months ago I became a Republican because the Democratic Party for me is contrary to many of the principles upon which this great country was founded. In fact I am ashamed of some Dems and especially the Liberal Left!!!

            Let us make this clear, no one has criticized the tone of his skin. I want to see where you can tell who is tan, and who is brown on this blog? You have no idea who is who. My only conclusion is you may be the racist. Personally I voted for Allan Keyes… I may not agree with everything he said either, but does that classify me as racist if I disagree with the Communistic ways of Obama? Now Obama is going out of his way to tell State Senators and Governors when to run for office… This sounds like something I would hear about in Venezuela…

          • Abdul says:

            Like Crystal noted this article was full of unsubstantiated claims and assumptions that people believe him it was actually one of the biggest wastes of my time so far this year. Just because you say something is a fact does not make it true I wish now that you neo-cons have been shown that America does not want you any more, you would just shut up, and stop wasting bandwidth with your drivel.

          • JeffH hit the target about the comments coming out of left field in only one statement. And Peaches followed up with a solid solution to the country’s overall governing situation. However, the main point of contention with both Crystal and Abdul is the fact that they too failed to give any facts and site any sources.

            I have read the preponderance of the only bill that was out there before the congressional recess, which was HR3200. While it may well have served the author’s purpose to give some facts and their associated references perhaps he decided not to make it look like a Master’s thesis or a Doctoral dissertation. Or, he may have thought highly of his target readership as being primarily adequately educated American citizens who, like he did, use the powers of observation (televised news accounts) and analysis to have seen many of the same behaviors (of Obama), hear the same words spoken (but not actually meant by Obama) and view or read other accounts of political smoke and mirrors going on concerning this so-called health care reform but did not put it together the way he did while relating similar events that occurred when President Bush was rendering his State of the Union address and democrats caused numerous audible interruptions.

            It is intuitively clear, even to the most casual observer, that President Obama has no understanding (and no concept) whatsoever relative to his leadership responsibilities. He has an absolute lack of experience relative to ever having any position of authority and responsibility. (Voting “present” during his minor period of service in Senate does not pass that common sense test.) Obama cares not for what he needs to fully understand as a leader much less as a civilian leader of our great nation.

            Crystal & Abdul, consider this. Long before he even ran for the highest office in the land he articulated a significantly skewed concept of such crucial American historical events that are the foundation of the greatest free nation in the world. Obama’s total lack of leadership experience coupled with his skewed view of America and personal arrogance (in this case) make for an eloquent speaker who since campaigning (which he has never made the required transition to governing so he continues to campaign today) utters (nice to hear) words that he does not mean (unless his true thoughts slip past his lips) and has no “Pro American agenda”. He has only one agenda (usually hidden) and that is a “Pro Obama agenda”. When you are willing to actually shed light on Obama’s past you quickly ascertain the false foundations he holds onto as he plans the absolute and catastrophic destruction of America-the first part of his hideous hidden agenda. One of the methods he plans to use includes bankrupting the country by creating a new (and unnecessary) “entitlement” that he and his ilk in the administration, the senate and the house will attempt to put a humanitarian label on it as well as saying (incorrectly) that it is the government’s responsibility to provide you, me and yes, the illegal aliens, with so-called “free” health care. Well, a big lesson for you two is that it is not free; it is paid for directly by the taxpayers through the government by way of higher taxes. And since doctors and other health care professionals will not be paid market rates to perform what they spent (in many cases a substantial amount of money to learn and get licensed in), there will be fewer of them to provide care to more people resulting in the cutting of those so-called free health care benefits by a rationing process described by brother of Rham Emmanuel, who is Obama’s chief of staff and included in HR3200. And, if you were to read deeper into HR3200 you will learn about the language giving the federal government access to your financial accounts! What does that have to do with health care reform? HR3200 also contains no language removing the health care industry from refusing service to illegal aliens who show up at our hospitals emergency rooms and no language requiring other (non emergency health service providers) to check their immigration or citizenship status before providing or refusing service. That is what Representative Wilson was absolutely correct when he impolitely blurted out, you lie!” HR3200 also contains language that states if your health insurance policy changes any of the terms of coverage or price, or you lose your insurance for any reason; you have to enroll in the government option or face stiff penalties. So much for you can keep your plan if you like it. And so much for your God given liberties and freedom as described in our country’s Declaration of Independence!

            I am both glad and proud to have studied and accomplished what I have without the unwarranted benefit of unnecessary “entitlements” that Obama must have had since he was the product of a mixed marriage and broken home in the 1960’s. Unlike Obama, I do not have a “Poison Ivy League” college degree where I was inculcated with the most liberal (actually more progressive and statist views) where he (Obama) obviously was conditioned to believe that virtually everything American is wrong, is bad; and even evil.

            By the way, Congressman Wilson still has his integrity as he was the one of those two who told the truth during Obama’s speech and since then his political war chest has grown ten plus times that of his democratic opponent’s has since then. That is just one more demonstrative fact the American citizenry has already had enough of Obama’s “hope & change” slogan and now want actual, unadulterated pro American policies by an unflinching experienced pro American leader who is there to selflessly serve the country by leading the country based upon the tried and true principles of our founding fathers to enhance our beacon of liberty to the world, not ruin it for all of us.

            A viable course of action to reform the best health care system in the world would be to immediately allow you to buy health insurance across states lines (generates more competition resulting in lower premium process for you and me)) and attack the unhealthy high cost of health insurance and health care by focusing on tort reform relative to allegations of wrong doing by health care providers. The loser pays all costs concept would certainly limit frivolous malpractice suits. Then, if you limited the pain and suffering compensation, it would lower the doctor’s medical malpractice insurance premiums (which he or she passes onto you) with every exam, procedure, or surgery you have as a part of doing business. That would actually lower the cost of the health care provided. It would also make sense to make health insurers use plain English in their policies and establish a mechanism to monitor and enforce coverage compliance issues for the consumers (that’s you and me). And that shouldn’t take 1,000, 1,200 or 1,990 pages to write that bill. How’s that grab you?

          • Earline Clark says:

            Mike, your comment to Sommer was dead on. Bringing in the race card shows racism in itself. The color of ones skin has no bearing on what is in that persons heart. We did elect an African American, thats great. What is not great is where he is taking our wonderful country. Americans, even those like Sommer have enjoyed freedom all their lives. Maybe they should visit a country for a bout 6 months that is under a dictators reign. I think they would think twice about bringing in the race card when some disagree with her opinions. We have moved on, now its time for the race card to be destroyed and think with the mind the Lord gave us.

          • apple eater says:

            This country, according to the Constitution, is a federation in which the states are a member by choice and can secede if they so desire. All the states were doing was asserting their rights according to the Constitution. With what is going on currently in Washington, I think more states need to seriously look at seceding and forming a “more perfect union” as our founders intended in the first place and let the bleeding liberal pay for all of their “entitlements”.

            The Civil War was in reality the war of Northern Aggression to force the south to surrender their rights. Slavery really had nothing to do with it. Slavery would have been gone within 2-3 years anyway as it was an institution that was morphing into an employer-employee relationship in most areas anyway and the more and more slave owners were releasing their slaves to be free men. The blacks actually had a harder time in the North as free men than their counterparts in the South.

            You really need to do some studying of your history before you go spouting off about an “Uncivil War”.

His actions where then followed by Bush Sr and Clinton and next thing you know, there is no money to fund much of anything.

            Ronald Reagan was not perfect, nor were any of the other presidents weh have had. There were good points and bad in all but this one carries the distinction of leading the pack for the distinction of beng the worst. Indeed we need a Reagan. The inane comment about adding to the illegal list makes me laugh. How about the idiotic comments this man makes daily and even with a telepromter. Oh and by the way, Ms Obama is a winner also. Sitting on her father’s lap at age 21 really worries me. If it is true she is in trouble and if this was just another prevarication by the wife of the prevarictor in chief we are in trouble. Is there nothing these folks won’t do to keep us inveigled in their reign of terror?

If a President’s success were to be judged by the state of the world and the economy during his term, Bill Clinton would win hands down.

          • Young_Baggins says:

            no, that is in the history books, what missing is the out right facts of how southern politicians can always turn the facts around like the the war of southern succession. The first shots were fired by the south, in South Carolina, but it was call the war of northern aggression. Right……. You Lie…. This is about undocumented aliens. While the law forbids the use of funds and facilities for that class of folks, the law also requires hospitals to treat anyone how is injured or sick that shows up at their doors. They (hospital staff) can not turn them away. The payment for treating the poor and undocumented persons are paid by the federal dollars. Someone has to pay the bill and hospitals can not let the sick ad injured die at the front doors. Catch 22, Obama was not lying technically, it is a twist in the system and our morals that causes the lie.

            The only only lie is how the south like to turn things around and ignore the facts like Wilson did when he called Obama a lier.

          • keith says:

          I’m amused that the very same people who dismiss as racists all of those who oppose the policies of this Administration are themselves those who voted for him simply because he had a black parent. That racism thing works both ways.
          You might find it a more productive – although admittedly more difficult proposition – to study the policies that are being proposed and think through the consequences. Try thinking about past well-intentioned policies and programs, like of the Great Society (welfare based on numbers of children, reductions if there was a male in the household, etc) that contributed mightally to the destruction of the family in this country – and black families in particular.
          In short, stop walking around with nine fingers expoosed and your mind in neutral and get serious about what’s happening to the independence, freedom and integrity of this country at the hands of those who simply want credit for meaning well, regardless of the damage they do in the process.

Granted obama (lower case o intentional)is intelligent but, most intelligent, nah, more in the vein of a con man, which he has proven himself to be. He conned his way into the presidency by bold face lying. Unfortunately many believed his b.s. His I.Q. may be high but his P.Q.(people quotient) is very low. This pseudo-presidents egotism and arrogance is only exceeded by his asininity.

        Radical Fundraiser Becomes Illinois Police Chaplain
        By Editor Thursday, January 7, 2010
        Previously on the IPT blog we stressed the need for the Defense Department’s Islamic Chaplaincy program to adopt a stricter vetting process, citing historically radical imams who have served in the program.

        Now the same can be said for the chaplaincy program for the Illinois State Police. The Mosque Foundation websitereports that Sheikh Kifah Mustapha recently completed a four day training session in Springfield, Illinois to become the first certified Muslim chaplain for the Illinois State Police.

        Mustapha’s name appears on a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) Hamas financing trail, which ended with sweeping convictions in November of 2008. On this list he is identified as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee.

      Be very careful of what you say. I just heard yesterday from Jimmy Carter, that if we are to disagree with anything Barack Obama says, its just because he is black. So we arent allowed to think for ourselves or have a contrary thought to him, or we are racist white imperialist bastards, according to one Jimmy Carter. Aint that sweet. So while this unqualified guy and his party continue to flush us down the drain, and sell our children and grandchildren down the road, we are supposed to sit here and be quiet because of the color of his skin, according to Jimmy Carter. Its amazing, now weve got white guys playing the race card, when it isnt applicable. Where did we slip down the slippery slope. Can anyone tell me? I just dont get it.

        Beberoni – You are mistaken. Only this President has no right to have an opinion. His wife is shameful – she shows her bare arms in public. Obama is not an American citizen. He’s running the deficit through the roof. Republicans will not admit he inherited this mess from the Cheney Administration. He reads from a promp. Thank goodness we now have a President who can read and deliver his own messages instead of his speechwriters. The Bush administration ran the deficit through the roof and the Republican controlled Senate – House and Congress still voted themselves $2,000 – $3,000 and $4.000 dollar pay raises. Now for lies -
        The Bush Administration started a war based on a pack of lies. Take a count of all the lives his actions have cost America and Iraq men, women and innocent little children.
        Why did Bush not get ben-laden like he promised? He pulled out of Afghanistan taking the thugs with him into Iraq. Is breaking a promise the same as a lie?
        What I will never forget above all – my vote did not count in 2000 – Bush was put into the highest office of our country by the courts that be. Republican style of – True Democracy. Don’t do as I do but as I say.
        As Franklin D. Roosevelt said in 1939:
        A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward.
        But these Republican’s are the NO men and women. Obama is part white also so grow up and show some respect to the Commander-in-Chief. The majority spoke in 2008. If you can’t be respectful just stay quiet and let us think you are stupid.

        • eyeswideopen says:

          OH MY GOd, now if you show your arms in public it is shameful??? What planet are you from… show me your kids or grandkids, do you beat them if they show their legs?? you are truly a radical and belong in some hidden away place, where the rest of the world can’t offend you.
          Did you know there are pictures of Bush’s daughters on vacation showing their arms?? Oh my Lord, let just have them beaten, how shameful can you get?

            I will repeat very s l o w l y BOE, so you can catch up. Those comments were what the right wing T R O L L S and T E A P A R T Y rubble rousers and the R E P U B L I C A N propaganda teams are saying about Obama and his wife. Not me. I voted for Obama and I may do so again in 2012, depending on his performance now. But I promise I will never again vote for another Republican after they trashed my vote by hook and crook in 2000 and let the courts put an idiot into office. They are also showing each and every citizen they care not for our country and they want Obama to fail. They need to learn how a little loyalty can benefit all and not control of the masses. They can feel free to continue brainwashing the brainless with my blessings.

It is because of him that we have given the masses the wonderful Social Security system in this country. Which you can starve to death on if you aren’t very, very careful! He & Congress that enacted this should have been ran out of D.C. on a rail! Don’t tell me how great these Govt. run institutions are – people on Medicare have to carry another private company to be able to afford other health-care procedures (not covered by Medicare) and to actually pay for prescription drugs. That’s what we want is govt. doing something else for us! I don’t think so!!!!!!

            Hey other dee – if Social Security is so bad – why is it each and every administration takes the surplus and spend it on everything but what it was designed for?
            Why does every Republican that gets in office tries to do away with it?
            Take Bush in 2000 – he wanted to privatize it. Thank goodness he failed or it would have gone down the tube with wall street

            To Dee and Dee D, Both of you must have been born with your eyes closed and they are still closed today. Obama was a black man when he was running for President, and he’s still black today, but now he’s beginning to show his true color. He is a racist, now that he got elected President. If you can’t see that, then open your eyes. George W. Bush has already forgotten more than Obama will ever know about being a President. He would do a good job playing Bart Simpson on the Simpson’s, but a president, he doesn’t know beans from bull about running our country. Also you can tell when he’s lying is when he open’s his mouth to speak. He doesn’t know how to tell the truth. I can’t believe the people of the United States voted for him, and I say he better enjoy these four years, because there won’t be another four for him. When the election is over in 2010, and all the cronies are voted out of Washington, then things will get back to normal. He’s the one that got us trillion’s of dollars in debt by bailing out all the automobile makers and all the big banks after he took office,along with all the other idiot’s that backed him. WAKE UP!!!!!!

Why does it takes people so long is it that their worldview is very Demonic? They think that is the way to go “Down”. Let me add; I also left the other party for they are the same and heading the same way to “HELL” as there counter part. I will vote for the morals and character of that person running. I don’t like any party and as soon as you get over party you can make a difference if you want. With about 45% of the worldview being Marist I doubt that we will see a big change. But look up Christ is on his way back and soon!!!!

  2. eyeswideopen says:

    Character is important and since Joe Wilson’s outburst, it has come to light that he belongs to an extremist group, the Son’s of the Confererate Veterans, who was on Bush’s watch list for dangerous activities. He also stated that he was an immigration lawyer. The State of S.C. has searched their data bases and he was never registered as an immigration lawyer, the most known and expierenced immigration lawyer in S.C. states he had never crossed paths with Wilson during his 21 years of practicing. His best friend since 1968, stated he has only practiced real estate law. If he is an immigration lawyer nobody knows about it and no proof is available.
    In S.C. 20% of their people have no insurance. That state has one of the highest pregancy rates, along with the highest infant mortality rates. You would think he would be working for the people, instead of just holding the party line.
    When in 2003 he voted for the Medicare Advantage bill, he must not have noticed that it has provisions to pay the hospitals for care given to illegal immigrats. He must have thought that it was a good trade off by giving the Big Phrma companies 800 billion it wouldn’t really be noticed.

    • Jenny says:

      To Eyeswideopen, and Clay, Can’t you explain that Joe was wrong and that Obama did not lie? No. It is so obvious that the liberals know not to defend their president because they too know Joe’s words are accurate. They just attack anyone who tells the truth about this government take over. And eyes, what is so bad about a high pregnancy rate??? Holding party lines? That is all the democrats are doing. And Clay, our children feel disrespected? Tell that to those whose death will be paid for with our tax $. Setting a bad example would be exactly what the President did with the “errors” in the speech. I am thankful Joe is setting good example by standing up for the people. It is amazing to watch people voluntarily lining up to be victimized by those who want to “change” America. This destruction of America is happening with the aid of the all who are voting in these politicians who are ramming through policies that will bring us down to such a low condition that we will have to “submit”. The change will have come. UNLESS, our eyes are opened immediately.

      • Gregg says:

        Jenny—you have to lay off the Fox News Network…”what is so bad about a high pregnancy rate?” I guess nothing…, unless you may mean a high teen pregnancy rate. South Carolina does a fine job there….their education is certainly leading the way too, right behind Kentucky. funny how the right will make sure a child is born, then throw them to the wolves. Then of course, you will complain about the high cost of providing social services, education, and a sustainable wage producing job. Jenny, i guess we can’t all work at Wal-Mart now can we? From your comments, I can only realize that you are very happy with pre-existing conditions doubling as a cash cow for insurance companies. You must love the consistent double digit increases for health care insurance that is doled out, each and every year,financially crippling every municipality in the country. You must be ecstatic that wages are stagnant while good jobs are continually outsourced. Take a good look at all of those bs town halls….Look who was in the background….angry, older, white men and women. Check the demographics of the country…this group is a dying breed and so are some of the misguided values. I stood and listened while throngs of rednecks in State College, Lebanon and Kittaning Pa. yelled at Senator Specter—”shut the lying jew bastard up.”—Real classy. No trace of prejudice here.
        Somewhere in the bible that so many hard core conservatives thump, says things about taking care of those who need help. Thankfully, the health care reform packages all include mental health provisions. The whack jobs who continually tried to manipulate Congressional Representatives and Senators need their heads examined. “Joe” is an idiot, and you can have the phony immigration lawyer.

        • Del Street says:

          Greg, good to see that your facts are not any straighter than all the other liberals/statist/marxist in this country. The one fact that you all ignore is that your wonderful example of efficient health care known as Medicare is increasing in cost 35% faster than the private sector. The one factor in the cost and lack of portability in the current health insurance industry that no one talks about is Government mandates and regulation. Government does nothing well except skirt their responsibility to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This administration and the current leaders in Congress have chosen to completely ignore the 10th amendment. Surprise me and convince me you know what that is! Maybe you are one of those “fools” who like to talk about the Constitution being a “living breathing document”. If you are I would like to have you join me in a high stakes poker game with “living breathing rules”. By the way, since it is my table I get to set the rules just like the majority in Congress is doing with the Constitution.

          • Gregg says:

            Sure—de-regulating the banking industry proved to be a great move didn’t it?? Medicare operates on 5% administrative costs, in comparison to –minimally 12% all the way up to 52% for private insurers. Let’s not even discuss the non-profit in name only health insurance providers…..Tell me how satisfied you are to be paying double digit increases each and every year for health care insurance costs, while insurance companies, routinely deny claims for any number of reasons. It all comes down to —you got yours and to hell with everybody else. By the way—10th amendment to the Constitution… The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. I’m all for it.

I wonder how many of these mindless obots have ever given to their fellow human being without the gov telling/forcing them to? How much time do they spend helping their neighbors? Very sad we are at this crossroad in our history…they worry about the nonsense that the politicians and elites use to devide the people …but I tell you that this is their plan…as long as we are divided they will continue to gain control over every minute detail of our lives. Who will live-who will die-the CRC will take our rights to raise our own children- what we will eat-where our food comes from (check CODEX ALIMENTARIUS)…HR2749 gives the FDA power to sieze food and property MARSHAL LAW…one after the other bills going threw that the people are not being informed on…they are already going after the organic farmers…much like they have been desimating the agricultural lands/farmers for years now…if we can’t feed ourselves…or have power sources because of the laws/treaties being pushed threw under cover of night..they cripple the US.

I didn’t vote for obama not because of his color but because he’s like to many of these unknowns. He has no experience in running anything except his mouth. think that if you haven’t read the book Animal Farm by George Orwell you should and if you have read it then read it again. Its kind of funny, those who live off the government now don’t have a problem with who ever is power because they get there check no matter what. Its us poor sapps that have to work and support the masses that have a problem with this mess that is being made. I say if you don’t contribute to the system then you don’t recieve. Pretty simple. Anyone with any little bit of sense can tell you that you can’t pour $$$$$$$ on a problem and make it go away. History proves that. Also if you listen to the liberals you hear that they have been waiting 40 years for this perfect storm. Its here and I hope and pray that we as a people can wheather it. People have been bitching about wars since the begining of time. There is no good war but at times they nessesary, like it or not. For those of that have served its known all to well.

No she wasn’t raped, she was engaged but didn’t want to have a baby while she was in college, so she got an abortion…. Do you think that only Dem’s get abortions?? If you do, you really aren’t living in the real world at all.

          • Beberoni says:

            Not at all “eyes”. I didnt say that, nor would I propose that one group of people are flawless, because you and I know it isnt that way. I would propose though, that by and in large, the democrats are for killing babies, they want it easier to kill babies, and now they are even using our US tax dollars, and funding abortions overseas. Sorry, its murder anyway you put it, by whomever does it, republican or democrat. Im just saying on the whole, the democrats are bankrupt when it comes to morals, and they have been for some time. Killing babies is good according to them. Butt bumping your buddy is good according to them. Giving special rights to illegal aliens, terrorists and other special interest groups is good according to them. Kicking God out of schools and government and life in general is good according to them. There is a way to a man that seems right, and it is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12

          joe

          i applauded joe wilson when he called your leader on his lies and boy did he get under a lot of liberal’s skin, good for him. he supposedly belongs or did to some confederate organization, so what, obama belongs to a black nationalist church. some of your demo’s belonged to the kkk and i’ll bet you didn’t make a sound! obama doesn’t have a healthcare bill, yet he stands in front of the american people and denies whats in the bill. if the insurance industry needs reforming and a lot of us think so then they should reform that and at the same time take on tort reform. you won’t see that happen, madame pelosi and her comrades would never ever touch that one. they are interested in one thing that is government takeover and by the way, check out some of the countries around us that have natl. healthcare. fortunately, there seems to be more people that are opposing this bad legislation, now instead of calling joe sn idiot, call out “OBAMA YOU LIE”

          • Babydayliner says:

            Tort Reform will have a tiny effect on rising Health care costs in this country. Medical malpractice only accounts for 2% of U.S. Health spending. Thats a drop in the bucket for a country that spends $2.3 trillion annually on health care. If you were to eliminate medical malpractice liability, even forgetting the negative consequences that would have for safety, accountability, and responsiveness, maybe we’d be talking about 1.5 percent of health care costs. So we’re not talking about real money. It’s small relative to the out-of-control cost of health care. A study by Bloomberg in 2004 also found that the proportion of medical malpractice verdicts among the top jury awards in the U.S. declined over the last 20 years. “Of the top 25 awards so far this year, only one was a malpractice case.” Moreover, at least 30 states now cap damages in medical lawsuits. Tort reform is clearly a state law issue and so-called tort reform in the states has done nothing to reduce medical malpractice insurance rates. Most states have already enacted so-called tort reform and it has not reduced healthcare costs.

          Gregg..do you know why those white haired old folks are mad as hell? Because they have worked their whole lives,maybe 2 jobs,bought houses,raised the kids and educated them,saved every dime for retirement,paid taxes,served their country and any thing else that was required to be a good American. All without expecting welfare,food stamps.free housing,car and free health care. It seems younger folks and yes certain races do not want an education,do not want to work..just let the gov. take care of me. Sadly Obama`s plan is to ruin everyone financially,get everyone welfare dependant..and he will be our socialist leader..probably for life.

      • eyeswideopen says:

        Jenny, it was pretty obvious that the President stated he will not sign any bill that gives illegals healthcare. Since it has not been put in front of him to sign, he has no idea what the final bill has in it until then. Meanwhile Joe, lied.

He has not signed our lives away on Health Reform, yet, duh!!! That will be a cinch for Obama in light of all he advocates, breaches, stands for and the strings of his puppet dance are tethered to those like you – gays, blacks, latinos and cults, that are dying to crawl into bed with him and his politics. It is coming, so hang on sloopy hang on. Keep doing what you are doing and you will keep getting what you are getting. YEEE HAW

        JENNY,,, YES THAT IS A TEEN PREGANCY RATE. NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO HAPPEN TO YOUR TEENAGERS, IF POSSIBLE. Oh my gosh, the Christian rt must know about all those teens and that’s what they are trying to hide, by not giving them medical care…..back to the dark ages here we come.

        • American Citizen says:

          Eyes, apparently you know nothing about we Christians who are trying to help teenagers and single women who become pregnant. I worked for 9 years with a group of women who are still doing this, who gave them layettes, clothes for their older children if they were a single mother and had some, baby beds, car seats, pregnancy tests to be sure they were really pregnant, get them to a doctor who worked with us in helping them, formula, baby food, etc.,set up a budget, etc. And we are only a phone line. If they decided to give the baby up for adoption, we referred them to a place who took care of them during their pregnancy. There is a lot going on out there to help women that a lot of people know nothing about. Our line has been in existence since 1982. There really is not reason for a woman to get an abortion if her life is not in danger. There are so many couples wanting to adopt who cannot have children of their own. There are ads in the newspaper begging for a baby.

    • To tell the truth says:

      spoken like a true Liberal – It is rediculous to point out bad behavior to justify bad behavior and that is just what you are doing

    • JeffH says:

      eyeswideopen…It has come to light that Joe Wilson IS a member of SCV. You obviously have done no research to confirm that he IS still a member of any radical extremist group. There is absolutely NO proof that he is STILL associated with SCV or that he, as many did, resigned his membership in SCV as the extremists took control in 2002.
      But if he had resigned his membership prior the the 2002 takeover, the would stop the “exremist” claims
      As for his lie about being an Immigration attorney, he probably did lie about that. None of the immigration lawyers questioned recall his Immigration practice, and no records indicate that he ever practice Immigration law.

      Those in government that critisize Joe Wilson or pure and simple hipocrites, and Nancy Pelosi is at the very top of the list. She does not respect the American people and she doesn’t respect her government when she lied about her lack of knowledge of the CIA interogation tactics. I have sent several requests to Pelosi asking her to resign her chair and take the same responsibilities she expects from others for her lies and outbursts. No response yet, although she doesn’t look or sound well and appears to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
      I quote these from this article because it rings so true: There was not a word of criticism for the attack dogs on the left, such as House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who called opponents of these plans “un-American.” Or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who labeled those who disagree with him as “evil mongers.”

      I guess Joe Wilson’s outburst at the president make the outbursts by Pelosi and Reid at digruntled citizen OK!

      And I also agree with this quote: “As every conservative on Capitol Hill knows, there has been absolutely no effort to include them in this debate. Their ideas are not welcome—and neither are they.”

      And another lie by Obama: ““I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future—period.”

      Everyone can continue to bash Bush and critisize those that bash Obama. The people in this country have been and are being used and those in Washington, and the media, are doing their utmost to divide the people. That is dangerous politics for America. The balance of approval for Obama is no more! Americans are tired of being lied to by government.

      • eyeswideopen says:

        Jeff, no darling, you still don’t get it, I wouldn’t care if he called Pres. Obama a liar on any radio program, tv network, or speech he was making, the point is he didn’t have enough control or respect for the House rules to not speak out during a national speech being made by the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You all are just upset as he outted himself as a liar, as he voted for the Medicare bill in 2003, he then lied about being an immigration lawyer. I will let it slide, if he did resign from the radical group, however, being a hypocrite by voting for a bill that pays for illegal immigrats hospital care and lying about his speciality means he cannot be trusted and should be voted out. Or do you want liars and people who try to deceive in order to give credabilty to themselves??
        I really don’t want them in my party.

        • JeffH says:

          …And we have a government full of liars including the president.
          What Joe Wilson did was wrong, but it seems that the Dems and you just focus on “Joe the liar” without mentioning the other liars.

          What should have been done to punish Nancy Pelosi? Would you want her to become president if, lord forbid, something happened to the Pres and Vice pres. She is crazier than Joe Wilson. She lashed out at the American people. How about Harry Reid?

I can’t find any of these things anywhere to confirm anything that you have said for as long as I have been reading your ilk. I can not understand why you support the destruction of this great nation and your own freedom. Your mentality is absolutely horrifying, especially to think that there are more people like you out there that support these atrocities that this anti-Christ is committing. What is wrong with you?

        • eyeswideopen says:

          Jeff, thanks at least I know you get it. I am fed up with everyone lying. The radical part of my party is going to be the reason that our party becomes insignificant and then the Democrats will get stronger, which is very dangerous for one party to be in control for an extended time frame. A third party like the Libertarians won’t fly in the country as we all love our standard of living, which taxes make possible. So because my party is so narrow minded, can’t and won’t ever admit a mistake, we will lose more and more members until there is nothing left and it won’t take very long. But you people have made me angry and tired and I think I will just register as an Independent and then I too can deny any wrong doing.

          • American Citizen says:

            I don’t know how you people can say G.W. stole the election when even the newspaper reporters that went down and counted the ballots, Bush won. Every recount showed he won. The reason people think otherwise is that the media gave Florida to Gore before all the precincts were counted. The panhandle is in a different time zone than the rest of the state, and after their votes were in, to everyone’s surprise, Bush has won Florida. It was then Gore’s team started their shenanigans, trying to give votes to Gore that should not have been counted at all for either one. That also happened in Minnesota this past election.

            AC, He absolutely refused to apologize to the House or the American people and his attitude brings into question how sincere his apology to the president actually was or was it more a exercise in damage control. Lot of people here have said the president lied but have given no proof of that. In his speech he stated it would be against the law and he made no mention of the house bills and if you read them it says it would be against the law. The phony argument later was that the enforcement of this law had no methodology of verification. Why not let law enforcement enforce it like all other laws. This calling him a liar is a lie and a red herring, as how can you have a method for enforcing a law if you have no law which was the FRR (Far Right Radicals)first claim to his being a liar but they soon realized that was not going to fly so they changed it to enforcement of the law that they first said never existed.

      • Crystal says:

        I am not republican or democrat. both sides disgust me. both sides accuse, point fingers, and call names. Very few citizens or representatives are quick to just state facts and present evidence. They all just say, “(he or they) are a liar”. People have claimed politicians to be racists for a long time. Bush was called one too. Chances are racism is present to some degree in every human being. No one is perfect. No one can keep all promises. Until a candidate is in office they are not privy to every detail that takes place in the Oval Office. They can’t possibly know everything needed to be known in order to make claims and promises while on the campaign trail. In my opinion, candidates need to stop making promises and start only stating intentions.

        As far as stating the misgivings and half truths of Wilson is concerned, it’s a valid argument. If this were court a person’s character contributes to the validity of their remarks. A witness can be completely discredited if they are proven to have a dishonest character. No I am not giving a defense for Obama because I do not know if he is lying or not. I have not seen any evidence either way presented by either side.

        Until facts and evidence are laid on the table both sides are full of crap and wasting taxpayer money and time. And anyone that contributes to the unvalidated, and unproven mudslinging is a guilty party to parroting propaganda based on biased ill informed prejudices.

        The old people mentioned by Gregg ARE dying and so are their values. “Value” is a general term here that can be switched for “beliefs” or “opinions”. Using the word “values” does not make those beliefs or opinions right or honorable. I am not saying that the old of our society are bad. But those same honorable people from wars gone by are human and therefore imperfect. Yes we must appreciate them and thank them for establishing our country. But this country has been evolving since day one, improving on the ways of our grandfathers. We are just in yet another step in our evolution. Although our elders were innovators in their time. It is time for them to realize that even the ideas they hold, that were new and open minded in their time, are now outdated and inappropriate (ideas that are often embedded in ignorance towards people who are different- it is a trait common in nearly all animal species on the planet, yes humans are part of the animal kingdom).

But hey, everyone knows OJ is a guilty murderer, and that old race card got him freed. Sort of. His life is a living hell now, but hey, he had to screw up again to get locked up. Yes sir, the old race card is alive and well, and only certain groups are allowed to play it. Wow, its so easy to play the victim. So, so easy.

        Those of us that are old enough remember very well that boy = nXXXXr and when the term was used frequently, that is what it meant and bigots and racists used it a lot, although one can’t prove it I sense there is a lot more bigotry here than we know and accounts for some of the harshness heaped on the president today and it is overwhelming on this site.

      That to say you don’t want your chilren to know right from wrong.

So You wont have to worry about them know if the President lies. Which by the way everytime him or nancy open there mouths it s A LIE !

        Chris, I’ll bet you would have loved to seen Michael Vick come to your children’s school and teach them right from wrong. But when the President tries to tell kids that they won’t all be first round draft picks, or they won’t win the lottery and that they should stay in school, not join gangs, stay away from drugs….well that is just way too radical thinking. Come to think of it, you are really in line for some remedial spelling & sentence structure. You aren’t from South Carolina are you??–Maybe Joe will help you out.

            How anyone of you can call Obama stupid really amazes me after our last eight years of seeing stupidity in it’s truest form.
            Poor lil Jr. He was thrust into a role he had no knowledge of how he should perform. But after all he just had to appear on the scene while taking the blame for every dastardly deed that Cheney and the rest of the Republican party created.
            Yes, I would rather have my children in the company of an educated person than a complete village idiot that sat in a classroom, in college, to avoid having to fight to defend our country blowing bubbles with his bubble gum.
            I do give Jr an ounce of respect tho – He did learn a little bit during his 8 yr. tenure. He made Cheney angry when he refused to pardon Cheney’s good buddy Scotter Libby. See he did learn a trick or two.
            I am not judging him but I will never make an excuse for all the murders and butchering he is blamed for under Cheney’s watch. I think my God will not forget either on judgement day.

            The left greatly fear and resent Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, because these 3 expose the left for the lepers that they are, and report the truth about the lefts rotten doings, something that gets hidden by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC, because those networks are all owned and operated by the democrats, and they dont tell on themselves. Instead of the truth, they are propaganda machines. So the left hates Rush, Glenn and Sean, because hey, the truth hurts. Thats why the dems want to shut down talk radio, because they dont want the truth known. Bunch of lepers.

Of course, the Health Care Bill doesn’t call them ‘Death Panels’, but guess what happens when government panels decide who should get scarce health-care resources (read the bill). What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

And I dont care what anybody says, the democrats are allowed to do and say anything they want, and are given a free pass by all the national press, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC. However, a Republican has to watch what he says and does, lest the democrats misquote him, turn around everything he says and does, and makes him spend millions of dollars defending themselves against lies and false accusations. Just look at the what their out and out lying and malicious attacks cost Sarah Palin. They out and out tried to lie and connive to destroy her and her family, the rotten bastards yes they did, and she was forced to spend millions to defend herself against all these false accusations. Any of you lefty liars out there notice that nothing ever came of these false charges they laid on her? Well, except for her having to spend millions to defend herself.

        The democratic party wants to, the way they keep expanding government, and creating more and more social programs, to take us working peoples money and give it to the crack heads that sit on the porch drinking 40′s all day. Thats what I see. The more people they get dependent on them, the more votes they get, because these idiots that vote for them dont want out, and they dont want to make anything of themselves. Theyve been told all their lives that they will never have anything, and the left convinces them of that by giving them a handout and promoting racial bullcrap with the Jesse Jackson’s, Al Sharptons, and Jimmy Carters of the world. If they ever, just for once, would get educated and study up on this stuff, and stop being fed propaganda by our national news stations, and reported the truth like Fox News delivers, maybe they would stop voting these left wing liberal pacifist appeasing pants wetting little girlie men democrats into office who keep them down year after year after year, while pointing the finger and blaming it on the other guy, when they are doing it.

        It’s only taken 40 years in the making with the Republicans shelving it and defeating the cause every step of the way. At the same time they get 100% medical coverage at our expense but we are not good enough to share their bounty with.

          Where in the Constitution does it give the Federal Government power over our health care? You are responsible for your own care and no one else. Years ago health care was not expensive and doctors made house calls. With my first baby, I was in the hospital 5 days and the bill was $120 which we had to pay ourselves. The doctor was $50. We’ve come a long way in 52 years. We have procedures, tests and drugs that were not available then to help us get well and also keep us seniors going when years ago we would have died.. I am grateful for our health care system. The Federal Government is looking to screw it up royally.

People wanted to believe in our so called Democratic system that had worked so well for so many years until the greed reared his ugly head and decided if the majority can be fed a steady stream of propaganda and led to slaughter – then a particular party may as well take all control from the citizens and rule the way they want to.

It will happen this time and I think all the idiots on this site know that and that is why they have turned the volume up to try and shout it down, look at the lies of last Saturday’s DC tea party, fire dept. est. 60,000-70,000 people with and absolute maximum of 75,000 Beck told us about 1.5 million as which only proves he is the liar I have always known him to be. Obama’s inauguration attendance made by the same fire departments est. was 1.8 million and if you look at the aerial photos of both you will see how puny the tea party really was, albeit bigger that many of us expected still in the population as a whole not very significant.

          • JeffH says:

            Now, after I repatedly pointed out that the DC FD count was probably the best, you change your mind from your 30,000 max statements. That is a switch. There were even some that insisted the PD estimates were 20-30 thou. The DC PD does not even give out crowd counts.

          • Smilee says:

            Jeff the 30,000 was a guess, before I knew what the FD estimated it at at you can see I credited it to them not me. The aerial photos I seen is what prompted my first guess when i contrasted it with the inauguration photos, I now hear Beck claims it was 2.5 million and I and my estimate was one hell of a lot closer to reality that his, but mine was an honest mistake his I’m sure was deliberate and I believe he knew full well he was lying either that or he is a lot dumber that I previously thought.

    No, this is NOT a fantasy. He is not going to sign a plan that adds “one dime” to our deficits. He is fully determined to sign a plan that adds something in excess of sixteen TRILLION dimes to our deficits. He’s a lawyer.

Its their way or the highway apparently – the current powers that be, love bipartisan participation so long as everyone goes along with the program.

      Does anyone recall how Bush Jr felt insulted when a gentleman in his crowd at one of his speeches did not stand when he entered the room? The fact that the gentleman in question was paralyzed and in a wheelchair did not faze Jr. Did Jr apologize for his rudeness?
      Or the time Jr berated a young man for wearing sunglasses while he was fabricating to his select audience, accusing him of being on drugs. Again the young man had a medical condition and could not tolerate strong lights. Did Jr apologize or was he so wrapped up in himself he thought it was okay to put people down?

      I was all for shutting down Acorn. Pres. Bush is the one who increased their funding to one million a year, I didn’t like it then and wrote letters, but nobody cared and us Republicans gave them a total of 13 million from 2001 to 2008. Now we have to find another group to take down.

    What did Hillary call it “A suspension of disbelief”? (Which was not an original statement but a phrase penned by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
    It seems that most of the democratic party is suffering from the malady.

    • s c says:

      Pat, the Democrats have long been the ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ party. This is a twisted game they play. Gore tried to pull a similar stunt when one of his friends told him the Democrat word of the week was ‘gravitas.’ All of the media whores dutifully picked up on it. That same day, every talking head on ABC, CBS and NBC was harping about the lack of Republican ‘gravitas.’ I wonder if anyone ever told Gore what it means. It’s something he has NEVER had. Democrats have had very little of it since perhaps HST (believe it or not, some Dems don’t know who HST is).
      What matters is that comrade obama prefers word games to the truth. Wilson summed it up for most of the country. Like it or not, the burden of proof is on comrade obama. Let him lead, or get the #^*^ out of Dodge!

  9. pat says:

    What did Hillary call it “A suspension of disbelief”? (Which was not an original statement but a phrase penned by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
    It seems that most of the democratic party is suffering from the malady.Suspension of disbelief or “willing suspension of disbelief” is a formula devised by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge to justify the use of fantastic or non-realistic elements in literature. Coleridge suggested that if a writer could infuse a “human interest and a semblance of truth” into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgment concerning the implausibility of the narrative.

    The phrase “suspension of disbelief” came to be used more loosely in the later 20th century, often used to imply that the onus was on the reader, rather than the writer, to achieve it. It might be used to refer to the willingness of the audience to overlook the limitations of a medium, so that these do not interfere with the acceptance of those premises. According to the theory, suspension of disbelief is a quid pro quo: the audience tacitly agrees to provisionally suspend their judgment in exchange for the promise of entertainment. These fictional premises may also lend to the engagement of the mind and perhaps proposition of thoughts, ideas, art and theories.

      This is one reason comedy today is so unfunny, whether it’s in the daily newspaper comic section or on TV. So much of what they consider comedy cannot really be true or is uncouth. It totally ruins the idea that you can laugh at that stuff.

Is it a lie that part of our SS at this time pays for illegal immigrant health care. It’s a fact! Obama is the first President that is for the people and NOT CORPORATE AMERICA as the past previous administration. In fact I have not heard that term since the Bush Whacker left office.

      • Beberoni says:

        American Corporations bear the burden of paying the majority of the taxes that keep this country afloat. If the Democrats when in office, would leave the tax structure alone and quit raising taxes on business in this country every stinking time they come into power, we wouldnt have the problems with losing jobs today. The economy was rolling along good, jobs being created by the thousands, until the last year and half of Bush’s tenure, and the real threat of a democrat tax monster coming into power, led the American business owner to stop producing and expanding, to cut payroll, to build up the cash need to pay the incoming tax monsters. Plus, as the democrats have indicated, in 2010 they are going to rescind the tax cuts which are going to cost business’s even more. Quit taxing them, leave them have their money, and they will hire more and more people, as they did when Bush put the tax cuts in. But no, here come you tax loving lefties, and look what happens? Its going to get worse, because of the tax cuts soon going away, and the knowledge that the tax monsters are in power. It wont get better until 2010 when we vote the dems out, and render the Obamination neutral, then vote his worthless un-experience butt out, and then, and only then, will things start shaping up. Of course, weve got to dig out of I dont know how big a hole he will have dug by then, but knowing that this leech has spent more in 8 months than the previous admin did in 8 years, it just might be a pretty darn big hole by then. Please America, please get educated by the next election, and look into what these pariahs do before you vote for them, just because they spent millions of dollars to appear on your brainsuckers in your homes crying change, change, change. Find out who they are and what they are about before you blindly pull that lever for them again.

      • Dee D says:

        American Citizen – It’s also the Big Corporations that stuff the pockets for the Governments backing so the blue collar worker can keep making the profits for big businesses and can’t keep much of the pay they receive so they have to stay on the job to pay all the reps salaries and pay taxes. We all have been slaves to big businesses long enough.
        Our forefathers who established a government for the people, by the people even worked for a living and converged when an important matter needed to be resolved.
        They were smart and we’ve come a long way and dummed down somewhere along the way from those days.

GROW UP& get a clue! Time is running out…Nepolitano just put two muslims in homeland security…they want ot allow Sharia Law here…UN treaties (CRC)that will take our children from us are being pushed through…mandatory vaccine laws are being passed in states all over this country ..OK..MA…etc… and these vaccines aren’t even tested ..for a so called pandemic they’ve exagerated… FDA controls on food that will literally cause the US not to be able to feed ourselves What is wrong with this picture????? WAKE UP…instead of dividing the people we would should be uniting to stop these HORRIFIC changes….

  16. Anissa Scott says:

    Well so the President has been declared a liar. Wilson was telling the truth. And also it is confirmed that the democrats also treated the former president just as bad. Guess what?? He to was a liar to. Which has been proven as well. But none of this excuses bad behavior and rudeness. The democrats were rude to the former president and the senator from this past speech from the current president was rude as well. Can anyone agree to this? If a senator disagrees with the president I’m quite sure they have a better opportunity to tell him then that. They work with him so why can’t they just simply tell him to his face.The only reason for this kind of outburst is to let the american people know they disagree. I personally do not care who agrees with what. I know I have other things going on in my life that are more important then silly displays of rudeness on tv. Speaking as a black woman I’m used to having people treat me like crap. So this type of behavior does not phase me. Just like it did not phase the president. Get on with your life.Or better yet..get a life. Anyone who does not agree with me…so what. You have your opinions and so do I.

    • DaveH says:

      Anissa,
      The significant thing here is that Obama was going to “bring this country together”. What a joke.
      No, Obama isn’t the cause of all our problems but he sure is contributing. We are going to continue disagreeing with each other vehemently until people wake up to the fact that Big Government isn’t the solution to peace. Big Government can not solve all our problems. The citizens need to get off their zombie butts and start learning to care for themselves. If people won’t make the effort to care for themselves, are they really so terribly deluded that they think a government stranger is going to make that effort to care for them?

      • Dee D says:

        He was trying to bring this country together in a bi-partisen manner.
        But that was impossible because the NO – NO Repugs absolutely were not going to allow him to do that. They also are destroying our country and they care not.
        Of course they say race was no factor in the mix. They just hated it when a Black educated man was elected and set a president for the first time in America’s history

Social justice cannot and never will be attained by stealing from one to give to another…it goes agaisnt the LAWS of the universe…the only way it could ever be possible would be for each of us to GIVE freely to one another…I’ll say it again WAKE UP!!!!!!!

      • eyeswideopen says:

        Dave, he can’t bring this country together with people like what is on this site. Hell, if you people could see him brush his teeth, you would find something wrong. You are just as guilty as the rest of these people, except you use subtle remarks to make your point, although sometimes you just come right out and call anyone who disagrees a LIBERAL! It really isn’t a bad word. But it will rile up the troops. Excellent work.

    • JeffH says:

      Anissa Scott…well stated. The censure of Joe Wilson is purely political, nothing more or less. Removal of the opposition is important to any cause. As usual, America and the American people are the ones that will suffer, no matter who “wins or loses”. The bureaucracy won’t change until we, the people, force that change.

      VOTE wisely in 2010!

      • eyeswideopen says:

        • JeffH says:

          Believe what you may. That move was purely political. Obama could have squashed the whole thing, but the Democrats have continued to jump on Joe Wilson like a pack of rabid dogs because he does not support HCR and is viewed as “the enemy”.
          The only positive out of this is that the Dems continue to “piss off” mainstream Americans.
          Until there is specific language that guarantees illegals won’t recieve any kind of assistance, anytime, anywhere and anyplace from this health care reform issue there will never be a National Helth Care program in America. The Republicans have reached out on many occasions, but the President and the Democrats aren’t the least bit receptive to their ideas.

            Jeff, here’s news, the President doesn’t have control over the House or the Senate for a reason… Called seperation of powers. Do you think this president wanted to go down in history, with a comment about a representative having to be censored? No. If he had control of the Congress,I’d been sending him nasty letters to make him stop the constant lying ie..death panels, execution squads, being done by our elected officials who are supposed to follow the rules of the office…… Don’t you guys respect any thing? I explained already that with such a large membership, if the didn’t follow protocol it would be chaois, Hey ask Joe Wilson if the SVC lets them just jump up and shout out crap during their board of directors meeting….lol

            What about Pelosi and Reid? You haven’t mentioned them at all, they lied!

        • JeffH says:

          That is the issue to you, and if you believe that fine. I don’t! I am saying it is far more than that. The Democrats aren’t totaly stupid, they are using the system to gain the advantage and that is going to comeback and bite them where it hurts the most, at the polls.

      • Dee D says:

        Anissa and Jeff Wake up and smell the coffee – it’s all politics.
        One party is going down and they just won’t admit they done it to themselves.
        Let’s define politics————————–
        ‘Poli’ in Latin meaning many or in great numbers
        ‘Tics’ in English meaning “bloodsucking creatures”.
        THERE YOU HAVE IT.

    Poor Joe Wilson. Although I do not agree with his timing or his place of saying it. The truth is still the truth. How can our President stand up there and say “not one dime” will be added to our deficit with this bill or any other bill he signs? Seriously? Don’t be gullible America. He is lying!!!

  19. sonny says:

    Joe Wilson was right in what he said. Illegal aliens cost us they get
    free healcare, education, welfare, wic, incarceration, time in local jail awaiting trail, court cost, loss of jobs to American citizens, identity theft, healthcare fraud and all documents printed in English and Spanish and many more things. We’re talking about billions of dollars a year. The U.S. goverment didn’t do its job by defending our borders instead they threw them wide open. We now have 12 to 20 million illegal aliens here or more who knows? their answer is amnesty. None of them have the guts to change the law if your born on American soil your an American. President Obama will probably get his way with the congress we have, people like Nance Pelosi and Reid. Their all a bunch of socialist. I wish the people of California in District 8 would wake up and vote Pelosi out of office, she’s a nut.

    • Dee says:

      Sonny does anyone here remember who was in office when the Sponsorship or the Hardcore act was implemented and placed on the citizens backs?
      Does anyone even have an inkling what these two programs cost American citizens and blue collar workers? Why do our Representatives in Washington reward our Industries for abandoning our country for the cheap labor in any country other than the United States? Of course we consumers reward them also – we buy their imports instead of leaving them lay on the shelves.
      We all are fairly stupid when it comes to electing our representatives. I was an Independent until the 2000 farce of an election. Now I will never again vote for another Republican for any office – not even for dog catcher.
      If everyone would do a little homework and try their best to vote for the better person for the seat instead of a party line – America would be much better off. But we make the mistake of allowing others to do our thinking for us. Is it indifference – stupidity – lack of caring – or just not being able to see the forest for the trees?

            Has anyone noticed that Bill and George seem to be joined at the hip lately?
            We all have very short memories but I like to tape politicians when they are lying – when re-election comes around – I like to review my tapes and cast my vote accordingly. Can’t do much of that anymore cause those in power are again making recorders obsolete and gone digital.
            See we are all slaves and must live according to the slave masters to generate the big bucks for the wealthy stock holders.
            I believe that with Cheney invading Iraq was not so much for the oil but to correct his Jr’s Daddy’s mistakes of arming Hussane with American weapons and killing him before he could tell a whole story for the world to hear.

        • Smilee says:

          ARE YOU FOR REAL???? Unions have 7% of private sector employees, are you really silly enough to believe that small minority has the power you credit it with. Had you been present with David and Goliath that fateful day I’m sure you would have mixed them up too. Corporations through their lobbies and financial power have made slaves out of all of us, that is the reason for our health care costs being double or more of most countries. When unions where at their height there was balance of power and the economy was good for everyone not just a minority as it is today. People used to have jobs that supported them today that is not true and this puts a lot of pressure on Gov. to fill in the gaps, today Gov. pays a bigger portion of the population’s living expenses then when the big corporations paid living wages far fewer people then could qualify for Gov. benefits and Unions where played a large part in that but today that is not true and companies can get by with paying many of their employees wages that do not support them. The best thing workers today could do for the country as a whole would be to join a union and guess what even at today wages are a little over $200.00 week more than non union and better benefits, check the labor dept. website if you do not believe me. It still works for those that are Union but even for them it is more difficult that it was before 1980. These big corporations are laughing all the way to the bank at all you idiots that are anti union and buy into them being so big and bad as they know as long as you do they can pocket all that extra earnings for themselves, they make so many dependent on Gov. today as it seems few here can do the math either as they all seem to believe in miracles and that any job make everyone self sufficient when in fact it does not.

            7% NOW but not before the rice burners got here. In the 70s it was perfectly acceptable for the big three to push out cars that were defective…I think it was 7% (lemon law). Remember Dr Demming? (spelling) He was the American that helped the Japs with quality and process improvement techniques that were driven down to the factory floor to the point that their line employees became autonomous process improvers. Which led to better cars. The big three were forced to catch up or get left behind…and they have for the most part. BUT look at the top 20 line item costs that go into producing a Jap versus US car. Labor is the most expensive cost in US cars and does not even register in the Jap cars.

            So the reason that unions are only 7% now is because: 1. Their big mean corporations are only a fraction of the size that they used to be due to competition. 2. American made cars are always playing catch up in innovation. That giant spinning flywheel just can’t change direction that fast.

            I have seen it with my own eyes…and THEY WERE WIDE OPEN! The union ran shops are a joke and spue inefficiency. And now big O is paying them back in every way…including card check (he wishes)!

            So if the unions do make a come back, say goodbye to US industry. Most will not stand for it.

            David you sure credit unions with having a lot of power than they have and never had, unions never make management decisions and the big three car companies have been known for years to have bad management and they are the ones responsible for their defective cars, their employees make what and how management dictates. Corporations have been growing in size many times over in this country for the last 50 years and especially in the last decade. My company over the 37 years I worked for them bought another company on the average of one every 9 weeks during that time and was several 100 times bigger when I retired that when they bought the company I worked for. The CEO in that year (1965) was paid $29,000.00 a year and when I left in 2003 he was making 6.5 million plus benefits and stock options. You claim that corporations have gotten smaller is ludicrous and ruins your credibility on all else you say and as to inefficiency in Union shop, my division had four locations and we were the only one that was Union and our efficiency always was greater than the other three as determined by the company, in fact they would only make the most critical parts at our plant to insure the utmost in customer satisfaction and the sales crew if they had sent out from one of the other locations and it had defects and had to be returned for repair etc. they would most often sent it back to our location so they could be sure they would get it done right. This was the managements decisions not ours but because they could trust our work force we were given this work. Union haters always say what you say and that is the reason you say it and because you do not know the truth. In a union shop inefficiency is the responsibility of management as it is in non union shops and they make all the decisions on efficiency and never the unions. When unions were at their height the economy was too and would be again if unions were strong as they help provide a balanced economy with employees making a living wage and then will not be dependent on government programs as many have no choice but to be on today. Many working families today depend on medicaid or similar health care programs, day care subsidies, food stamps, earned income credits etc. as they to not make enough to pay for them themselves, when unions where strong no working people qualified or needed these programs as they need now. I am old enough to remember when that was the case. Your post is full of misinformation and pure BS

          • David says:

            Smilee, I meant market share with respect to size you smart one. I think but am not sure but I believe many tier 1 & 2 union ran suppliers are also gone now…so maybe I am right about the size shrinking, literally.

            You need to sit in a decompression chamber…I think you have the bends.

          • Smilee says:

            David

            Not sure what you are referring to but the bigger the Company the bigger the market share, so whats your point. And again Unions do not make management decisions and seldom are asked for input. You sound mad and mixed up to me.

          • David says:

            Unions force management to make decisions that do not make since. Whole processes have to be designed and built around the inefficiencies that you have built into the system over time. The rules and regs are in place to protect the workers, why not let them put those union dues in their pockets?

        • Dee D says:

          No David I’m not a layed off union worker. I am a retired auto worker from one of the big three and I am losing the benefits I worked so many years for. Unions are similar to all of the good old boys clubs that exist in America – they protect their own and have a lot of incompetents controlling the rank and file. My forefathers fought for decent working conditions for everyone and if the government and narrow minded people like you have your way we will return to the sweat shops – like I said my forefathers fought and died to correct. If America has enough people with the means to stop us from becoming a service nation or a third world country it will behoove us to keep unions intact to protect us.

          • David says:

            Dee, that explains the one major difference between us. I have worked since college in a privately held plant, which at times has served the american auto industry. I have toured many of your plants and it is really sad how many people it takes to get the job done in a union shop. Luckily for me, the company I work for has survived as several direct competitors (union shops) closed down. They could not compete so they moved abroad. I am sorry about your pension, heck we are all worried about that…I still have plenty of years to go but now this gov. is trying to take over and “we the people” are pissed off and have done our homework. So I will not call Eyes a racist redneck (she lives in the south) because she is blasting me above.

          • Smilee says:

            David

            As I said before it is company management that makes all the decisions as to what and how they make as in this case cars and if you saw what you claim you saw it was because management made the decisions as to how many people it needed to do a job and to how the jobs were done, this is never the decision of the unions or the workers weather they are union or non union, again you credit the unions with a lot of power they do not have and blame them for the decisions of management, we too had more employees than we needed in the last fifteen years I worked there and we tried to explain that to them but they were poor managers as opposed to those managers who proceeded them and made these stupid decisions anyway because they did not know how to do it in an efficient manner. We had about 10% more employees to do the same jobs in the last fifteen years than worked there in all the years that proceeded them doing the same work. Do you blame the children for the bad behavior of their parents as that is what you seem to be doing here, it only reveals your hatred of unions and has nothing to do with the truth.

            Rice burners is a racist term, call it a figure of speech if you like but it is still a racist term and it was you that used it and when eyes called you on it your response was she was playing the race card when it was you that placed the racists cards on the table. Take responsibility for you own behavior and not shift it to her much the same as you shifted bad management decisions on to the unions and the workers who do not have the power you say they have either.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. Do you think this is the beginning of the end for the republican party as we have known it, What do you think Lincoln, T Roosevelt and Eisenhower would say if they were here, for that matter Reagan, I think he would be disappointed too albeit he was a different republican form those others I mentioned.

          • David says:

            Smilee you keep refering to the repubs as the shrinking minority but what you, Dee, somewhat Eyes keep missing is the “population” majority has had it with your president and his liberals’ agenda.

  21. Alan says:

    If 0bama does not like being called a liar, he should stop lying.
    Given 0bama’s oratory predilections, I would expect more of the same from him though.
    He should therefore expect more of the same from the public whom HE works for.
    The problem before us is not the treatment of the person holding the office president but the mis-treatment by the president of his own office.
    A person with no character holding such an office should have expectation of anything more than the treatment he has received thus far.
    I am hopeful people remain mindful of the severe and shameful losses since January 20th 2009 to our nation’s wealth and stature and vote accordingly.

    • DaveH says:

      Alan,
      I think an increasing number of citizens are waking up to Obama’s blatant lack of honesty. Of course that doesn’t include those who are so blinded by their greed for other people’s money that they refuse to think.

      • s c says:

        DaveH, you’re right once again. The first protocol of the ultralib mentality is to turn off one’s brain. Next, they must believe everything their leaders spew out (even when common sense is sacrificed on the altar of social outcomes). When in doubt, resort to name-calling, and then go into full denial mode.
        It must be quite a shock to the conscience to be in denial 24 hours a day, but ultralibs know how to do it. How else could these people get through the day without a mental breakdown? When people let twisted minds like Lenin, Marx, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Saul Alinsky and a sociopathic preacher in Chicago set their goals, the results are predictable. You get a lying non-leader like comrade obama and all of his czars and career parasite chums. And they wonder why we don’t line up to salute or smile at the insanity they call ‘leadership.’

      • JeffH says:

        Just follow all of the approval ratings, from a high of about 70% to just 50% (+-). They tell a lot about the political climate in the USA.

          Beats the hell out of GW’s ratings that got down to I think it was 26%, most people still like Obama and when all is said and done he will be highly respected by the vast majority, he is only just begun and there are mountains and valleys but in the end you will be unhappy

            Smilee, BBC had report on how we do our polls, I couldn’t stop laughing. They showed how you can skew any poll to make it read what you want. They even stated that certain area codes and zip codes are so predictable that if a polling company is looking for a certain outcome they can get it. I personally don’t believe in polls, as the hidden agenda insults me. But, I do believe that the election results show that American was unhappy with us Republicans and we have lots of work to do.

          • Smilee says:

            Eyes

            You must remember that all the Obama haters on here are representative of only about 20% of the population of the country and being such a small minority they will never succeed in bringing Obama down as he is very much respected as an individual by the vast majority of the population albeit a fewer number agree with him on some issues. Remember when these same people where telling us before the election that the race factor would be large in the polls and doubted he could win because of it, well they where wrong and they are wrong here to as they have been in the majority of all elections in the last five years or so but they will never admit it nor will they admit it that it is their portion of the republican party that is dragging it down and because of that a lot of analysis of many is that they will not do well in 2010 because of that and not anything the democrats say or do. Why do you suppose they put a black man in charge of their party as they know the party may fail and they can then blame it on that because they know many of them are bigots, remember there a few blacks in their party as was apparent at their convention in St. Paul last year. Most blacks do not think they care anything about them and my guess they are right.

  22. I was shocked and amazed that after Obama’s address to Congress that he had a slight positive bump in polls for “his healthcare plan.” Has the American Public dumbed down that much. I am even more amazed at the far left Pelosi bunch calling anyone speaking out against “OBAMACARE” racist. Martin Luther King said…” the day would come where a black man would be judged by the content of his character and not the color of his skin…”….well I think Obama should be judged by the content of his character and his actions and words…the color of his skin has absolutely nothing to do with his efforts to destroy this nation , our economy, and move us towards socialism. Wake up America!!!

    • American Citizen says:

      The bump only lasted a few hours.

    • David says:

      Unfortunately race relations seem to be taking a step backwards thanks to the elite whites…Carter, Pelosi, etc….

      • Beberoni says:

        I agree. I wonder what the hell Jimmy Carter did in his past that he is so filled with guilt about, that he thinks he can make it up by kissing the butts of the black populace. I for one do not need him apologizing for me, or accusing me of being racist. I for one, was looked in the face and told I couldnt even apply for a job in 15 straight business I attempted to apply to, because I was white. Told me to my face. That my friend, is prejudice, and a race problem. I had no NAACP, no black minsters alliance, no black american college fund, no BET network. No, I had no one to fight for me but God above. So I joined the military, learned a trade, and worked ever since. But I was prejudiced after that also, when applying for a job. A factory I worked at closed, and all the black workers got hired right into a good paying steel mill here in town. I heard about it and went there to apply, and again, I was told I couldnt because I was white. Racist, racist, racist. When we, meaning our government, takes steps to help one race, by cutting out another, that is racism of the greatest kind. I mean, that is exactly against what Martin Luther King wanted for blacks. He wanted to be judged by the content of your character, not the color of your skin. And now our government condemns me for 5 years because of the white pigment of my skin. And the worst part is, still to this day, as I see a black president, and many million dollar black atheletes. I see 90 percent of the NBA is black. I see 60 percent of the NFL is black. 70 percent of major league baseball is black and hispanic/caribbean. And I still hear all the time about how prejudice America is, but it seems it is allowed against you if your white, and thats wrong. The Germans took everything my ancestors had when they came to America. They dont owe me anything. Those people that did this are dead and gone, as are my ancestors. Those alive in Germany now had nothing to do with it. As is here, I had nothing to do with slavery, and those people are dead and gone. Yet, there are guys like Robert Sheets Byrd of Virginia, an ex-klansman, racist, and the blacks still vote for him every year. So racism has become nothing more than an excuse to get something for nothing. Its easy to play the victim, and I for one am sick of it. Put the damn race card away, its over, its been abused, its used when it doesnt need to be, and its now a trump card. Its wrong, so please put it away. Life goes on, get over it. Geez.

        • eyeswideopen says:

          Berb, I was wondering why you had a leaning towards hating the blacks but now I know. You didn’t like the racist you faced did you? But you are willing to stop it? No. Should we be calling you a Nazi lover because you came from Germany? Of course not, but you are willing to contribute to the hate not debate against this President aren’t you?

        • Smilee says:

          Carter grew up amongst bigotry and his best friend was black, they grew up together and he knows what real racism really is and apparently he sees something that angers him greatly and may be we should not be so quick to dismiss what he said as he probably understands it better that most of us do and many who grew up in very different situations and probably have much more trouble recognizing it. OPEN MINDS NEEDED!!

          Both of you completely missed the point, again. Read what he said. This in not about race to the whites…well except the stupid elite liberal ones that what to make it look that way. They are trying to divert away from the tea parties which are growing is size each time they happen. So they (you) are trying to say we are racist because we do not believe in your president’s agenda. We have exposed the lies in every piece of legislation thus far and there is nothing else to do but pull that race card and it isn’t going to work. I think Berb has had a legitimite “life” experience with discrimination, on him.

          The color of the skin does not matter unless the “Peter Principle” is in affect. Happens all the time. I see it from another point of view. I work in a large manufacturing plant and struggle with the people that have worked their way up from the floor and since I was hired in as an engineer….I get to deal with upper mgrs that like to promote their own instead of the right person.

          • Smilee says:

            David

            Racism is only a heart filled with hatred in this case hatred of a black person for the color of their skin and has nothing to do with what you say and imply and it seems that few people here understand that, accusing racism when it has nothing to do with the issue and if it does there always seems to be an explanation given that makes no sense. Racists are almost always in denial of it but I fear we have quite a few in here and I’m equally sure if they are not in denial they would not admit it.

  24. I just wanted to say OMG amazing that was a wonderful story and it is the best when people actually write the truth. I also think the saying the truth hurts is so true and this is why when he called Obama a liar they made a huge deal about it. Making him apologize is there smoke and mirrors to make it seem like because he is saying sorry that he was in the wrong, well America is not that dumb they are slowly starting to see the truth and the true Obama and are pissed at themselves for voting for him. All this is going to show is Obama getting these things to pass and with the majority against him is going to revel the truth about none of the American peoples votes count for sh!t we are seeing this by getting ridicules things passed it is all about the NWO and it is going to happen anyway no matter if we have 99% of people apposing him or even if the laws show he (not being a natural born citizen) is not even supposed to be president that he was chosen a long time ago as the puppet. Moreover with the racism how is it we can keep from sounding resist in these debates or even commenting on here? You said you do not tolerated it but if I am white and I am against Obama or just simply call him a liar I am resist. This right here shows a ridicules way to use smoke and mirrors just to get what they want. Everyone knows you are not a resist just because you call someone a liar so we all can see the real game revealed people just have to stop ignoring it and as Americans we need to take a stand. Racisms will not go away because too many blacks are using it as a TOOL and that is all. For the most part racisms has disappeared about 90% of America has let it go. Nor do we have any minorities that are repressed or have been slaves that are alive today so why is it we continue bringing it up??? In order to get rid of it we need to drop it and stop letting the NWO push and our Government keep separating us. The more we are separated (blacks, whites, men, women, exct.) the weaker America gets. “United we stand, Departed we fall”. Take care all please open your eyes and lets get together to make a stand for FREEDOME.

And this is coming from a 49 year old white male from the Northeast.

      • American Citizen says:

        Greg, I guess you are one of those who calls anyone who disagrees with Obama a racist. Never mind that we can think for ourselves and don’t want the CRAP he wants to give us. You’d think that any black who wants to become a slave to the Federal Government would cringe at the word “slave”.

        • Dee D says:

          American – do you really think for yourself? If so how in the world can you refuse to see all that came down the pike between 2000 and 2008, and worse yet defend all that the Administration done? We all are right or wrong, we only get a rear full of splinters sitting on the fence.
          So far Obama has not murdered anyone and was berated because he said he would be willing to talk with anyone. If the Bush Administration had kept their promise and completed the job in Afghanistan, Obama would not have inherited that mess along with everything else he inherited and has to try to correct. Please remove your rose colored glasses and see a clear picture of all that is happening. God really must love stupid people – he made so many of them. Stupid is as stupid does.
