		<description>JWC-We dont need Obama care-what about the 20,000 plus deaths a year due to no insurance? Why do we spend $6,000 plus more per year per family than the next highest country and still rank about 37th? Why are we the ONLY industrialized country with the most expensive health care system in the world and the only one with millions uninsured? We spend more on defense than the next 6 largest countries combined---we need more?

AH-Just what and whose policies necessitated Obama&#039;s policies? Pray tell me what results did Bush get for his squandering of Clinton&#039;s surplus? It took the conservatives of both parties years to get us into the situation that we are now in and it is not going to be corrected in 9 months. It will be years and getting informed of facts by all of us will make the process easier and faster.</description>

		<description>A first step to pay for the troops would be shelving Obamacare. We don&#039;t need or even want Obamacare. We need and want the troops.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m just taking a brief look at this but it seems to me that Mrs. Tucker is complaining about a $163 Billion deficit from 2007 (probable the highest one during the Bush years) while ignoring the TRILLION dollar+ deficit Obama just ran up in 9 months. At least Bush got results for his money, what has Obama gotten us? 10% unemployment while PROMISING nothing higher than 8%.</description>

		<description>Shawny:

Don&#039;t go and mess with my valpak that I expect every week in the mail.  It is the only way I can survive these days.  Nothing better than chunking each piece in the valpak envelope while thinking of cynthia on the calender.</description>

		<description>Allen, I can&#039;t prove our presence isn&#039;t working.  I think it is working to make us even more hated by the Muslims than at the beginning of the war.  However, I think we might prevent terror here by putting troops on the ground in the United States--let them patrol our borders, screen at the airports, and just generally clean up our own house before we try to clean up someone elses.  And, we have had a terrorist attack since 9/11.  It happened at Ft. Hood.</description>
