you are pretty much the definition of a "mindless drone"
How many bad ideas has Obama proposed in the last 2 months? I lost count. The fact that this was discussed should have you appalled. But you are a drone, henceforth refferred to as an "O-bot"

and after years on this site and personally one of the reasons there is a political site, this is my first direct personal insult. Congrats.

I guess its just shows how classy you are then.

I don't think there is any comparison to the 8 years of bad ideas we just endured w/the worse pres. in modern history.

Typical bh lib tactic to try to make a comparison that makes no sense to further your agenda. Since you must bring Bush into every argument about Obama, compare Bush's first 8 weeks to Obamas first 8 weeks since that's all we have to go on. I guess I give too much credit at times that people in this forum can think logically.
And to take a cheap shot at Jimmy because he expressed an opinion shows how insecure you are. Good job.

I don't bring bush in every discussion (usually b/c even though I voted for him first time around, I know that he did such a bad job it ends the discussion).

The point was that Obama was looking to see if he could lower health care cost by trying to recover $ from private insurance. He started a discussion and unless he takes it further, it ends there. Pres. look at different things all the time and if the fact finding/discussion turn up problems, etc, it ends there or is modified. Just b/c he discussed it doesn't mean he's going to try to get in inacted into law and to make a big deal about it is as laughable as stating that since there are contingency plans for war w/Russis we are going to war. I think Obama has been doing a great job for the first 8 weeks (mainly reversing some of Bush's policies). YOu should look at all the people trying to link the stock market's daily moves to Obama if you want to see illogical thinking.

PS - I think Jimmy is mad at me b/c in one of my posts I used mindless drones a few weeks back so I believe that he's mentioned that a few times in reference to me.

Wow, could you provide some specifics on all the "great" things he's accomplished? Us "mindless drones" might be able to better understand the greatness of the President if you can provide some tangible proof of his accomplishments.

Paul, i'm pretty sure I asked for specifics, not an example or 2. Oh, wait! Look, I did ask for specifics!!!

I do read the paper. And I read a lot of articles online, as well. In fact, I read in last Sundays paper that Biden was calling the uptick in the stock market a direct result of people having confidence in Obama. I thought that was pretty strange considering he didn't say anything about it being Obama's fault when the market was hitting historical lows for weeks on end.

Just because I'm conservative and a realist doesn't mean that I don't agree with the stem cell and torture reversals. Those were quick, easy fixes for him.

The true test of his first 8 weeks though, is how he is being perceived by the public. The economy is the #1 concern for most people, and it hasn't been very good since he's been in office. If you read the papers and articles online, you'll see that there is frustration with him and his administration. Check out his latest approval rating.

And I gave you 2 specifics. I'm not going to waste my time listing everthing that I think he did right just as I won't ask you to waste your time listing everything you think he's done wrong.

His approval rating his higher than the % who elected him and the polls I've seen (admitedly not for any of the last 1 -2 weeks or so) indicate that a majority think he's doing a good job - even repub.s

I agree that the econ. is the #1 concern and I think in the next election elec. if people think this admin. is doing well, the dems break w/tradition and pick up a decent amount of seats. If people think this admin. is not doing well, the repubs. pick up a lot of seats. There won't be small swings.

It comes down to if you think the stimulas is good or bad.
