Wow
We have a card carrying member here folks...
Oh I know, it's the fault of poverty and hard times. Debt is out there pulling the trigger every day. I'm not racist though, sorry. I hate people for much deeper reasons.

Why Won’t Obama Talk to Israelis?
No, it's their skin color pulling the trigger, you're right...Oh I know, it's the fault of poverty and hard times. Debt is out there pulling the trigger every day.

But haven't you heard? The recession is over! Obama's a genius!

Or unemployment will have ticked up by another percent or two by October.

I think you proved otherwise.
Then we'll just get another stimulus to make everything better. After all, Obama warned that without the first stimulus, unemployment might rise above 8%. Look at how accurate and smart this man is. It's breath-taking.
bush actually gave us two stimulus packages. given how shittier things got after the first and second, if you're going to blame a president's stimulus for making things worse, it'd be his. given how it's been over a year since his second one, it's been more than enough time for the economy to recover a little. it's been what, six months since obama's? the economy can't turn around that quickly.Then we'll just get another stimulus to make everything better.

Statistics speak for themselves. I guess if I was racist I'd want them to keep on killing though.
Hmm, well, Benn was proposing a speech aimed at the Israeli public; he wasn't talking about diplomacy with the Israeli government, which actually there continues to be plenty of--Mitchell, Gates and Jones were all there (again) just last week. As for Iran, I think that's more one of a long list of issues on the table (particularly in terms of connections to Hezbollah and Hamas), not the driver.The more optimistic side of me would like to believe Obama, backed by US public sentiment, is supportive of a true two-state solution and won't engage Netanyahu until there is some willingness to consider the settlement freeze.
The KKK have been saying the same exact thing for decades.
Now if only we could get those kinds of numbers on healthcare...The poll also found the incident and Obama's reaction saturated the public consciousness. As many as 80 percent of Americans said they are now aware of Obama's comments on the matter.

Sure, in hindsight the President ought to steer clear of applying the label "stupid" to the behavior of police, even if they beat the bejesus out of someone. But that's not why the "saturation" is 80%. It's hardly as if that's the only public comment he's made lately.In hindsight I just wish he would have said he was happy the charges were dropped.
I don't think the Gates thing has much to do with moving forward on healthcare reform. He just tried to push it through too quickly, and it's just too much money and too complicated for that. Hillary Clinton tried for years, not just a summer (hasn't even been a whole summer). With the recession and fears about the huge debts we are getting into you have to expect resistance.
Washington Post, July 28
In other pockets of the state, the reaction to Democratic proposals has been strong, too. At a recent town-hall meeting in suburban Simpsonville, a man stood up and told Rep. Robert Inglis (R-SC) to "keep your government hands off my Medicare."
"I had to politely explain that, 'Actually, sir, your health care is being provided by the government,' " Inglis recalled. "But he wasn't having any of it."
Obama is really not "radical" at all. He is actually one of the more moderate presidents we have had. He is pretty cautious, careful, and centrist. I dont understand why the right insists on labeling him as some sort of socialistic president. Not only that, but he is really doing, or at least trying, everything he said he would do.
....Health care is now stuck in dumbass congress, but the president has the right idea on health reform. He has already put through some great environmental bills, the stimulus is creating jobs, and there are many positive things for education in the stimulus. We have basically "ended" the war in Iraq and our standing in the world has increased tremendously. I think his best success so far has been on foreign policy. I think he is doing a great job- its congress Im worried about
