if you think health insurance is expensive now, wait until we have government run "free" insurance. I'm sure abortions will be covered, but there will be a 10 month wait for the procedure......

forrest.......yep u r rite....thanks...

it used to be politicians had to listen to us................if they didn't some gun totin' citizen would show them the light........today it's a crime to threaten a scum sucker however.........

I've said this before, and whenever I hear from someone who has changed their mind about obama, I get it going again. First of all, nothing personal, but I have mixed feelings of anger and redemption when this happens. I'm getting better about it, but most of us on "this side of the fence" are not surprised by anything thus far. We're not clairvoyants, we're not any more intuitive than the next person - we just payed attention when it was most important to do so. That would be as far back as winter '07. What the hell were you people hearing from this guy that caused you to throw in with him? All those silly promises and fairy tale outlooks? By early Spring of '08 I knew we were screwed - Paul and Huckabee were waning - and was actually hoping for Hillary to get the nomination. It was like one of those silly kids' games where you have to declare if you would rather cut off your big toe (obama) or french kiss your grandmother (Hillary). I would have all my toes, but might be considering cutting off my tongue :)
The point is, I detested Hillary, but obama scared me into the any-port-in-a-storm posture when it became evident that the GOP was in trouble.
I try not to think about whether there are enough 20/20 hindsight "converts" that it could have made a difference from what we now have to live with. For what it's worth, welcome to the team.

That is exactly the point I had very badly been trying to make! One issue is going to ruin us! We are not looking at the big picture.

Thank you

The politicians don't care about the Constitution because they're elected by people who base their decision on representation based on what they want done about gays and abortion; neither of which are duties expressly granted to the Federal government. So, we have a group of politicians who don't know any other routine beside pandering to the heartstrings of voters with (sorry) meaningless, hollow, no-solution social issues instead of merely minding the watchtower as they were intended to do. Our politicians are a shameful display of the most vile and contradictory core American value; the desire to impress one's perspective/morals on another. We see this in our daily lives, in our electoral process, and in our foreign policy.

What a terrible departure from the wisdom preserved in our Constitution. We should all be ashamed.

*Also not an attack on you, just a general-purpose continuation of conversation

forrest I know you have a certain amount of intelligence but damn it man........

com'on quit hanging out with the koolaid kids....this is not an attack on you, just pointing out....

Of course the repubs like Neal want the GOVERNMENT to get involved in other people's GOVERNMENTS. My guess is the republs will be wondering about the President's(GOVERNMENT) use of military force(GOVERNMENT)

Analyzer of ridiculous analyses. If I am not mistaken, you can see those teleprompters if you look hard enough. If you don't believe his answers are scripted you have been drinking far too much kool aid.

He uses teleprompters whenever he speaks publically (and in addition to the two, also uses a large screen at times). Check out some of his speeches on u-tube when he didn't use one. - they are simply embarrassing.

Perhaps you didn't see the teleprompters because they are 'transparent'. That's the only thing in this administration that is.

i am an anarchist/libertarian/independent. you need balls to admit that.
again ex-quuuuuuuuuuuuze me for any insult...
:O)

...and hasn't been since world war 2. Just some interesting facts;

http://www.johntreed.com/declarationofwar.html

1. The right wing persists with the "teleprompter" thing. He does not use a teleprompter when answering questions. For his opening remarks at a press conference or most any other speech, so what if he uses a teleprompter. Other presidents have done so. CEOs of Fortune 500 companies make speeches all the time by teleprompters, and while the overall themes of the speech are directed by the CEO, the actual words are put together by a team of PR people (I work in PR & Communications with a large company and know all about how this works). If he used 3*5 cards instead, would that make you happier? Or should he spend all his time memorizing his speeches instead of attending to more productive uses of his time?
2. Reporters ask the questions, and the president answers the questions. If no reporter asks about Afghanistan or Pakistan or the Surge, then chances are Obama will not utter those words.
3. In yesterday's show, I bet Boortz did not utter the words "mother", "hugs", "kisses", "baseball", "kitten", "Abraham Lincoln", or "hamburger". So, I guess that means Boortz is against all these things. What an evil tyrant.

He's the governor of South Carolina, for Pete's sake, not the leader of the free world - not that there is a leader of the free world to speak of currently. He went to Argentina in the winter (8th grade geography, people) and not during Mardis Gras.

If Governor Sanford had been involved in an accident while incognito, it might have resulted in tragedy, but, folks, he's the Governor of South Carolina - not the second coming of Christ! If he was sand blasting some Argentine babe on the beach, I'm sure we'll see the pictures in the Enquirer. Leave the guy alone.

He is just a man, although Jake Knotts - perhaps Don's younger and goofier brother - apparently has a real hard on for the governor. There is your real story.

Maybe he didn't mention those words because he is considering a traditional conservative approach of no nation building or not policing the world to the tune of bankruptcy? A stretch I know, but its possible. Maybe someone in his admin. is coming to their senses and admitting that America with 11 trillion dollar debt cannot afford the fiscal liberalism and adventurism in trying to police the planet. Maybe someone in there(its probably not Chairman Teleprompter) is thinking maybe they should start putting America first rather than spending the country into bankruptcy with neo-colonialism and telling us America is threatened while the border remains wide open. Maybe someone does NOT want to go down the same path as the Roman and Soviet empires. Who knows? Bush was a failure as president...so far Obama has the same agenda of govt enlargement,world policing,amnesty and ignoring the constitution...where the hell is the change? Why can't we get anyone in D.C besides Ron Paul to stand up for some old school conservatism? Boortz why do you take the side of the left on foreign policy...? Where does the constitution grant America authority to police the world?

osamabama was told at the prayer session just before he turned on TOTUS not to say the 7 forbidden words....(geo carlin).

t-shirt, I didn't try to imply you were e-fem-in-knit....grow a set means to most guys to "man up",show courge. I couldn't tell by your typing that you were a penis puffer, sorry. no I don't have a problem with gay guys, my wife has a closet full of them. she lets them out when she wants to redecorate or learn a new dance move....

Horse Doctor & shuttin down,

Please don't give the AGW people any more scare tactic ideas. I can just see the future newscasts:

Scientist have performed a study showing how increased CO2 can turn the rivers, lakes, and oceans into carbonated water like what you see in soda.

Obama should do exactly what our last President did, and both show our cards so the enemy knows what we're doing, and to also use fightin' werds, since those always effectively subdue the enemy.

I apologize for the misleading subject and sarcastic intro, all to have it lead to this... what the hell is the problem with Obama not going all Geraldo during a press session and telling the whole world exactly what we're doing?! If he HAD done that, he'd be crucified by talk radio and Fox for a supposed act of treason.

I can't stand the domestic economic policies he's putting in place, but I do agree with his approach to Iran and N. Korea... We can't afford another war, it is best to avoid one. We, as a nation, are not in a first-strike mode. We're not wealthy enough, nor desperate enough to make any threats about going into full-on war. We also can't make fabulous promises about supporting a small, yet impressive, civil uprising in Iran.

In addition to all of that, I don't see any articles in the Constitution stating that it is the responsibility of the federal government to "Secure the common defense of other Nations" so why are libertarians (what I consider myself to be, and what Neal claims to be) wanting to be all up in Iran's electoral business? It isn't our job, and it isn't the job of our government. When Iran attacks us, which they won't/can't unless we're pretty damn close to their border (giving them at least some justification) then we can retaliate to an act carried out against our military, but until then, what business is it of ours, CONSTITUTIONALLY, to be meddling in their affairs?

Did anybody else get the impression Mike Allen made a mess writing that? Reading it was like intruding on something personal, some kind of perverse religious swoon.

Politico also has a page called "Politico 44 The Obama Presidency Minute By Minute," in case you're in need.

It takes real talent and skill to pile the cheese on that high, and I'm not being sarcastic. You have to admire it, but don't mistake it for news.

I do not know where you post was written or by who, but I have copied it and sending it to all I know. This is the absolute best description of our problems I have seen!

Of course he's not going to mention any issue of any importance. It is in these areas that he is in over his head.

However, he will act lightning-fast to torque it down on those naughty tobacco industry folks.

He'll deal with us naughty gun-owners next since we are clearly part of the problem.

Anyone else notice his mention of geothermal power? So in addition to two equally useless (for so much power requirements) ideas like solar and wind power, we get a suggestion that requires volcanoes to run. And if not volcanoes, then at least more drilling and tearing up of the earth than we currently perform with oil consumption.

Just build nuclear plants already. How many people have died in America from nuclear power accidents? I believe "none" is the answer.
Geothermal power...

Bryan - where I grew up, in New York City, Carbon Dioxide in water is known as seltzer, and it makes a great "egg cream"(chocolate syrup, milk,and seltzer)

Billy Mays - you've got a formidable competitor.

Major Garrett...NOICE!!!!! Gotta give Chuck Todd props too. He pressed and pressed until Obama patronized him.

They're going to ruin his presidency, if they haven't already.

Obama: Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing an idiot.

I bought a bird feeder. I hung It on my back porch and filled It with seed. What a beauty of A bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table and next to the barbecue. 

Then came the “poop”. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table.... Everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.

And other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.  So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be .... Quiet, serene.... And no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see…. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education, and allows anyone born here to be an “automatic citizen”.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.  Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. 

If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop!!!

Ummm....it's not?

They know what they have to do to get this regime overturned. I am sure the CIA is working on it now. We have done it before and we can do it again. Question is whether we should or not.
