Obama does not have an "imperial" presidency. He has the greatest difficulties a president of the US has faced since FDR. He has come into office with the greatest deficit faced by any president, a near bank collapse, a near manufacturing collapse, and he is trying to put it all back together again while providing Americans a level of health insurance achieved by the rest of the industrialized world. He has to stop both pointless and expensive wars immediately, Conserve other expenses, demand a single line veto on Congressional Spending Packages, to take the waste out of government, to have the funds for a national health insurance program to be feasible.

Wrong on EVERY count! Medicare for ALll WILL NOT COST ANY MORE MONEY THAN IS ALREADY BEING SPENT ON MEDICARE. In fact studies have shown it will actually save tax money, create jobs and save over $1 trillion for the American people which gives them extra cash in their pockets to spend which will stimulate the failing economy. Everything we need to get back on our feet as a nation and Obama and his Democrat cronies keep blocking it.
Get a grip and stop making excuses for Obama and the Democrats people!!!
Truth be known if we do not get single payer healthcare HR 676 with all the suppport it has (Majority of americans, doctors and nurses support HR 676 and oppose Obama's plan) it will really be the fault of the American people themselves. We rely on corporate media, crokked politicians (Obama included) and internet gossip for our sources of healthcare reform information and they are all fabricated lies!
Any idiot can write a book and any idiot can run for office, any rich idiot anyway. Do your research people!
Go to these groups. They have documentation and two of the groups are doctors and nurses groups. They are in healthcare! Obama refused to get their input in devising his evil bill. he only allowed input from private insurance CEOs. This is THEIR bill NOT ours!

I'll address the deficit and his "putting it all back together" some other time. His sabotaging our chance for real healthcare reform and providing universal healthcare for all americans is hard enough to take right now.

Health Care Reform : Uninsured Camp Out for Free Health Care


An estimated 3,000 people traveled to Wise, Virginia, to receive free
health, dental and eye care from volunteer doctors, nurses and support workers, who provided the care at their own expense.

* The Democratic National Committee released a pretty hard-hitting statement this afternoon, slamming Republicans for "inciting angry mobs" or "rabid right-wing extremists."

* On a related note, "Town Halls Gone Wild" continued today in a variety of locations.

* CBS News offers a good example of how not to report on the right-wing harassment strategy.

* Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D) of Texas hasn't changed his mind
at all after his run-in with a right-wing mob: "I am more committed
than ever to win approval of legislation to offer more individual
choice to access affordable health care. An effective public plan is
essential to achieve that goal."

* What's more, Doggett told CNN
today, "I'll tell you, unless more Americans who are suffering under
the insurance companies get out there and express their opinion, write
their letter to the editor, call these talk shows -- if they don't get
their message out the insurance companies will win in September and we
just cannot let that happen."

* HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius reminds folks of "the reason we're even having this conversation" about reform in a WaPo op-ed.

* Nice to see Blue Dog Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.) have a few unkind words about George W. Bush and health care today.

I heard that this morning on MTP, Gingrich asked Palin, Romney and Huckabee to join him in supporting the next republican grass roots initiative…in an effort to prove conservatives mean what they say, he wants all seniors and vets to renounce medicare, social security and VA benefits. Gingrich says we have to walk the talk. When a befuddled Stephanopoulis said, really? Gingrich said yes, we have to show the left that we don’t need ANY government help. American seniors and vets are strong people, they’ll find a way to get along without these socialist services.

Let's see if the Right is willing to walk the walk and give up their "socialist" programs.
