oh sorry...sources...CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, NPR, LA Times, Washington Post, PBS, Boston Globe, Air America, Huffington Post, Media Matters, Democrat Underground and The Daily Kos.....OK???


JD...or just pretend that it's from a source that you disapprove of and you can dismiss it all in your own head...

aside from "no bailout for banks" is there anything that you would argue with regarding Obama?

I would argue that the bank bailout is less a bailout and more a way to nationalize the banking system ultimately as well as the financial sector...at the very least exert tremendous control over them..

His real agenda on Medicare and Medicaid is to cut another 200 billion over the next ten years on top of the 300 billion already proposed to be cut this year, had already cut the cost of living increase of medicaid but, to gain back the support of those on medicaid and medicare he is going to give back as a free handout another 250 bucks for those on social security and you do not have to claim it on your 1040.

After doing the math:

That is what makes him such a great President.

After living through 13 Presidents I can honestly say this is the first time
I have really been concerned about the direction our country is headed
under Obama.
His current socialistic agenda is being pushed down our throats at warp speed,
and yet he can't make a decision on Afghanistan, which i believe he is waiting to do after the elections.

I do think he is waiting till after the interim elections to make a decision.
It's a tough choice, I don't think he is hesitant to make one, I just think there is significant debate on all fronts.
There also is this fact of a run off in Afghanistan that we should be considering.

If this is true, he doesn't deserve to be President of the US and Commander in Chief.

Hanging our tropps out to dry for his own politcal reasons is just plain wrong.
