Just another day and more shit on Obama from the Obstructionist and the Party of NO...

Most of Obama’s Jobs Proposals Have Drawn GOP Support in the Past

President Obama is pitching his newly unveiled $450 billion jobs plan in large part by arguing that all the proposed tax cuts and spending measures have won bipartisan support in the past.

“Now, everything in the American Jobs Act, everything in there is the kind of proposal that’s been supported in the past by both Democrats and Republicans,” the president told a friendly audience on House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s home turf Friday at the University of Richmond.

Indeed, most of the proposals have drawn support from some Republicans and a few were even hatched by them. But the proposals have never been combined in one package in an effort to jumpstart a weakening economy and Republicans have asked the president to keep them separate when he sends a legislative text to them next week..

If people think having the Republicans back in office will suddenly fix everything is out of touch with reality. The current President inherited a wrecked economy, and two ongoing wars. I mean Fox News will broadcast everything fixed, but it won't be reality. Right now the Republicans are fighting hard to not let the Democrats accomplish anything because it would show that Republican policies did fail.
Today we live in the most politically polarized time in American history. Most can't see past the titles of this person is Democrat, and this person is Republican. Even those that are fed up with republican policies that have devastated the current landscape couldn't allow any other party to run things. It really doesn't matter that Obama is black more so that he is a Democrat and people actually voted him into office. Hell, Rush Limbaugh used to say on the radio that president Clinton was our first black president. Because Clinton supported polices that Limbaugh said favored black people. We had rapid militia groups running around during the Clinton Admin out of fear 'Liberals are going to take our guns' that faded away when Bush stole the elections. Now another "liberal gun stealing democRat" is in office and everyone is worried about their guns again. The Patriot Act under Bush took away more of our civil liberties, and none of the Teabaggers, Randians, and other militants rose up in anger. Where was your rage when all those no bid contracts were handed to Haliburton? Where was your anger when republicans increased the size of the Government and it's reach?
Here is an idea! Quit watching football and playing your fantasy leagues. Read some books about political science, and corporate tax law. Do some research beyond sitting on the couch, and watching Fox News or listening to Limbaugh on the car radio on your drive to work. Become the informed public that our Founding Fathers envisioned!

Its about money and profits for the wealthiest..
These Folks own and operate the Federal reserve..
They are who decides who gets nominated and elected..
He who has the most money wins...

Now we have a huge divide between those who have and those who don't..
The main tool used is the Media..

The Media Monopoly - 5 Corporations own it

This is not by party lines either..
Both Parties do not have a clue nor will they have the Balls to fix it as this is there cash cow...

Tea party audience cheers letting the uninsured die

The audience Monday night’s CNN Tea Party Express Republican primary debate was eager to see the death of a hypothetical man who was in a coma and also did not have health care insurance.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer posed this question to Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul: “A healthy young, 30-year-old man has a good job, makes a good living but decides, ‘You know what? I’m not going to spend $200 or $300 a month on health insurance because I’m healthy, I don’t need it.’ But something terrible happens, all the sudden he needs it. What’s going to happen if he goes into a coma? Who pays for that?”

“What he should do is whatever he wants to do,” Paul replied. “That’s what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare to take care of everybody…”

“Are you saying society should just let him die?” Blitzer asked.

The audience responded with shouts of “Yes!”

I guess the "Tea Party" has, in effect, become the Death Panel we heard so much about, but the reaction shows how little they understand the issues that surround medical care.

Last night's event was little more than "red meat" for the masses, and it was attended by a Tea Party audiance that was primed to give the appropriate responses. Most of them probably view the media as the enemy, and I'd have to wonder how many of them would be willing to give up their Federal benefits for the greater good.

I completely agree.
(OMG!! does this make me a TC dittohead?)

So many claiming to be Christian, yet exhibiting little or none of the attributes that the Bible lays out.

Obviously any staunch socialist will make the leap to will say that Ron Paul wants people to curl up and die if they don't buy their own insurance from a private company. That's just not the truth, and if you think that then you haven't listened enough to Ron Paul. You will always hear Ron talk about the days when he was working as a doctor for minimum wage, right out of med school, getting his experience, at a Catholic hospital where no one was ever turned away. Basically the idea here is that people used to be able to fall back on christian values, they didn't need the government to mandate the purchase of health insurance.

And I'm so fucking sick of people who think that just because the hypothetical guy doesn't have insurance that he is going to be left to bleed out on the sidewalk in front of the hospital, it's simply not true. The hospital must give you emergency care, and bill you for it later. Sure, they may not be able to pay it, but they weren't left to die in the corner.

And fuck the tea party by the way, it's been infiltrated by war mongering racist neocons and idiots of walks have signed on. I feel it's more and more just becoming a forum to discredit those who would prefer our nation remain a constitutional republic instead of becoming socialist. It's too easy to lump all the true conservatives and libertarians into the tea party and demonize them all as anti muslim fanatics who's main political action is drawing hitler moustaches on pictures of Obama.
