I don't really care to debate the healthcare issue too much however, I still believe what we passed is too much too soon. Hell, there are things included in this bill that people, businesses and insurance companies are slowly finding out about now.Not to mention the judge Roberts "switcheroo". I see Obamas campaign doing a lot of Romney bashing and not a lot of bragging on their record. I was also reminded the other day about Obamas pledge to be a 1 term president if he didn't turn things around.... Would anyone say we're moving in the right direction? He mentions all the time that choosing R

Is it possible what may have been appropriate and/or feasible for a state like Massachusetts may not be correct for an entire nation, such as ours?

A lot of the things listed happen every year or at least the past 4-5 years or are planned to be spent for years to come. I'm pretty sure all put together ( not just 2011) would add up to more. Not saying this list is the cure for our obvious problem but things do add up. I was disgusted to read about the aid we give to China! Giving money that we've borrowed....from them. :/

Interesting to read through. Sorry if this has been posted. http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=b69a6ebd-7ebe-41b7-bb03-c25a5e194365

I agree! I got a tad bit emotional. They explained all the pressure she's been put under and the expectations she's been given. I was happy for her.

Very cool watching Jessica Ennis win the gold in the heptathlon. Being in the UK and all. Seemed like a really nice girl.

If I were a betting man I'd say SBS in the 5th.

bjorn lives! No better thread to see it.

About like an opposing comment on VC!

Dude that's fucked up and you know it. If you were looking for a reaction, you got one.

The next time they have one of them there pussy riots, I'm volunteering for crowd control!

Hell I hope so!

I love the Obama ad with Romney singing! Hahaha gets me every time.

The 3 previous posts give me hope. I like the discussion there. so true, so true. Carry on.....

Aren't some of the English papers and tabloids saying the same thing?

On Obamas site you could win a trip to Chicago to celebrate his birthday! Both sites look similar. Although I feel like Romneys message is somewhat the same as Obamas was 4 years ago....He is NOT the incumbent. Meh

"He tried. You tried. It's OK to make a change." This ad makes me chuckle. Never mentions Romney and is not near as nasty as campaign ads can get.

C'mon man. There are smears and stretches on both sides and we all know it. To act like the right are the only ones doing it is inaccurate. I do not subscribe to the notion that Obama is anti-American. However, he and I probably disagree on what it means to be American. And I'm not being a smart ass. I listen and read from both political spectrums of punditry. I like to see both points of view and follow what I feel. I took an exact quote that happens to rub me the wrong way and go against everything I was raised to believe. I did not stretch it or manipulate it. EDIT BY BELTMANN: Sorry, I'm

I'm sorry I get a little heated on this whole subject but my take away was people do not become successful by working harder than other people. That statement really bothers me.

We all have received help from family, friends and other various ways. I'm not disagreeing with that but the president of the United States to deliver a speech that sounds like a Rev Wright message and say that you didn't become successful because you worked harder than other people is bullshit! I know a lot of successful people who did it on their own. You don't have to be famous to be successful. This is still the argument from Barack that you should do your share.... Well Mr President I DO my share and thats why we pay our taxes and we give to the police and fire deprtments when they have

This makes me sick. It is revealing. "There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there." -Barack Obama

I've only seen a couple campaign ads but the media keeps stating how vicious they are. Have any of you seen one that seems crazy or better yet effective?

This Thank you

I was pretty sure he campaigned on letting them expire and then went back on it.

You do realize that is exactly what Obama did right?
