btw atl prince-why won’t The King of Kenya-Hussein Obama release his birth certificate to shut everyone up about his legit claim to the throne? knwo why-It’s may all be a lie for the dems to socialize this country like Kenya! And why is ATL in such bad shape? Don’t we have a BLACK Mayor? I thought THAT was supposed to solve everything? WRONG! Once the Reepubs take control in 2010-Obama, Pelosi and Reed will be put on trial for treason and LYING under oath. I hope they inact SHARIA law for THAT! I think it is 40 lashes! IMPEACH OBAMA!

Here’s how it all works-the Gov’t is going to tax you if you have pvt health insurance thru work. The Gov’t is going to tax businesses if they don’t offer health insurance-or make them pay a penalty. It would cost LESS for the Business to pay the penalty/tax than to offer health insurance and supplement it. Next-the claim that you can keep your health insurance claim is true-somewhat. What the Democrats don’t tell you is, if you want to keep your current Health insurance, YOU will have to pay for it YOURSELF. FULL COST! Since that would be expensive, people would have no alternative but to go with the Gov’t plan. Therefore-the Gov’t gets money from Taxes/Penalties rec’v from businesses AND money rec’d by the people who are willing to pay a cheaper rate forthe Gov’t option. This may mean HIGHER individual Taxes. Bottom line-the insurance companies are going to go under. Why? Under the Gov’t plan-you cannot file suit for malpractice. A perfect Storm. BTW ATL PRINCE-

[...] also speculates, in another article, that if Obama doesn’t get fired up he’s likely to appear “out of touch”. Westen figures a politician as bright and canny as Obama should know that and shouldn’t shy away [...]

So, the problem is politics haven’t been dirty enough recently? That’s absurd. Pres. Obama’s administration has been hitting Republicans just as hard as they’ve been hitting him. “The party is led by Rush Limbaugh,” they’re “The party of no” “All the problems were left for me” etc.

You can agree or disagree with those statement however you like, but it’s very hard to argue that Obama is “staying above it all”. If it seems that way wrt health care…as in Obama is not passing legislation w/out a bi-partisan agreement…it’s because he can’t convince much of his own party to support it, not because it’s being held up by the handful of Republicans actually left in Congress.

The Republicans are IRRELEVANT. People have to stop blaming them and realize it doesn’t matter what they say anymore. There is one party in charge of everything right now, period. And if the leader of that party cannot get support for his initiatives, then there may be a reason for that beyond “the Republicans”.

This is driving me nuts. I would expect conservatives and Republicans to throw monkey wrenches at President Obama, but now some of his own supporters. Good grief, people. Let the man do his job. He hasn’t been president a year yet and already his ENTIRE presidency is being scrutinized. I have never seen anything like this in my life.

COTW…

First… The article used a quote with parenthesis inserted. The parenthetical indicates that Cynthia inserted her own interpreation of the exact “story” the Westen referred to. Westen didn’t say conservatives believed that “government is bad”, Cynthia did.

Second… Noone ever said that government doesn’t need to expand if/when society expands. As I mentioned before, the government has a useful role. I, like most Conservatives, simply believe that the government has expanded far beyond it’s intended and useful bounds.

Soon they will be comparing PresBO to Jimmy. Hopefully not, because that would indicate that he is a monumental and complete failure. However it is a bad omen to see him being compared to the little tank riding imp from Mass.

Does Sinthia ever come up with her own ideas? Looks like she’s been taking the easy way out and riding the coattails of others… for quite a while now.
