Obama speech

[ensbergcollector]

He has been in office less then a year.And he hasnt done anything?
1.Looks like so far every one or most will have health insurence.
2.More troops have been put in Iraq and more mite be going
3.Closed that terrorist prison the one in cuba,that saved tax payers money.
4.He has got us out of debt,that the great George Bush left us in war etc.
5.Cash for clunkers old car for new that went good ok 50 50.
6.0h you cant forget take breaks to the poor
Also he has 3 years left.Maybe another 4.And there mite be more that i didnt list.

ok, a few things:
1. just because the man says something doesn't mean it is true. read the thread a few down that talks about anyone who doesn't get health insurance will be fined by the government.
2. when bush sent more troops, he was criticized, obama does it and he is applauded.
3. so he can close down whatever he wants as long as it saves money?
4. the national debt has actually risen in the last year, not gone down. which is quite far from "he has got us out of debt"
5. the cash for clunkers deal will end up as an epic failure since roughly 50% of the cars that dealers were told they would be reimbursed for they are now being told they are not.
6. well, i guess if you are one who likes handouts then yeah, he has done that.


my asking your age had nothing to do with your spelling and everything to do with the seemingly repeated without thought speech you posted.

so, you are 1 for 6. not bad!

As tutall said, it's late and I don't really have the time or desire to get into all of this, but a couple of the just too blatantly easy ones to pass up:



No bill has passed, nothing is anything yet. As I said, so far it's all a bunch of talk. If you're counting his talk, then yes, Obama has done a ton...but talk is about all.



Actually troops have been pulled out of Iraq...more troops are being sent to Afghanistan, if that's what you meant, and the popularity of that war is falling like a lead balloon as well.



Seriously...this sentence speaks for itself...but apparently you don't know, so I have to say it: The current budget deficit for this year is over $1 trillion, the largest it's ever been...and the year isn't even over.



Yeah, I love my hard earned money going to buy someone else a new car...and sadly, my money buying someone else a new car (while, by the way, forcing older, affordable cars to be destroyed instead of making them available to poor people who can't afford a new car...way to help out the poor!) is one of the best things that have come out of this administration so far.

Seriously, those are basic, basics, BASIC points...and the debt one really irks me. I don't understand how you missed that, even the Obama fan club at MSNBC has had to mention that haven't they?

What is Obama to do GM back when hire's people off the street no schooling or any thing so we are not selling cars they make junk as far as americans are concerned are cars are junk.So thank the people working for GM not Obama.And if you think bush is a better president Then Obama then wow I have already spoke my peace so peace.I would rather talk to some one who knows what a good president is.Bush HAHAHAHAHA

No im more then 1 for 6 cause i dont agree with that rubbage eather.And Obama didnt barrow billions to send troops across sea's Bush did thats why bush was critisized.All Bush did was put as in dept......wefrreffrfe

So you don't agree with facts? Sounds about right.

What is Obama to do GM back when hire's people off the street no schooling or any thing so we are not selling cars they make junk as far as americans are concerned are cars are junk.So thank the people working for GM not Obama.And if you think bush is a better president Then Obama then wow I have already spoke my peace so peace.I would rather talk to some one who knows what a good president is.Bush HAHAHAHAHA

This has nothing to do with who GM is hiring or Bush, this has to do with Obama's Cash for Clunkers program. It is my tax money paying for someone else to buy a new car...doesn't matter which company made it. And, as I said, the Democrates, who are all about helping the poor, made these "clunkers" be destroyed instead of offering them to the poor who may not be able to afford a car otherwise. That was your Democrates idea, not Bush, not GM.

And I never mentioned Bush, you did that. You're right, you said your peace and it proves my point better than I ever could, so I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to respond.

He did say a few things I liked - it would be very helpful to those of us with pre-existing conditions to get reasonable coverage, for instance (this is an issue on which he agreed with McCain) - but as others stated, we'll see if the nice rhetoric turns to real action.

WOW!!! I really hope you are too young to vote. Just...WOW!!!

PimpTiger- I hate these speechs because Pelosi is in the camera shot the entire time. 48 minutes straight of looking at Pelosi.........Fine, i'll vote for whatever and whoever you want me to, just please, no more pelosi. LOL!!! make it stop!!!!!

Joe Wilson shouts to Obama during speech: 'You lie'

A Republican House member shouted "You lie" during President Obama's health care speech to Congress on Wednesday, and members of both parties condemned the heckling.

After the speech, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson issued a statement apologizing for his outburst.

"This evening, I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the president's remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill," the statement said. "While I disagree with the president's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility."

That's hilarious...it's like a high school assembly. And you gotta see the pic:

CNN Poll: Double-digit post-speech jump for Obama plan

Two out of three Americans who watched President Barack Obama's health care reform speech Wednesday night favor his health care plans — a 14-point gain among speech-watchers, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll of people who tuned into Obama's address Wednesday night to a joint session of Congress.

A few details that might clarify things a bit more though:

Sixty-seven percent of people questioned in the survey say the support Obama's health care reform proposals that the president outlined in his address, with 29 percent opposed. Those figures are almost identical to a poll conducted immediately after Bill Clinton's health care speech before Congress in September, 1993.

The audience for the speech appears to be more Democratic than the U.S. population as a whole. Because of this, the results may favor Obama simply because more Democrats than Republicans tune into the speech. The poll surveyed the opinions of people who watched Wednesday night's speech, and does not reflect the views of all Americans.

At least there's still hope. Obviously too many people haven't been paying attention to the numerous campaign issues Obama has gone back on.

The guy was dead on when he called Obama a liar. Mainly because he is a liar in general, but also on the point he was making. Did anybody else notice that the number of uninsured in this country dropped by 18 million people last night???? It went from 48 million to "over 30 million" in Obamas speech last night. So......illegal aliens were covered in the plan up until yesterday, but the people who point that out or call Obama a LIAR are the crazy Loons. Of coarse, we all know the real number is 12-14 million people who need government help with healthcare. More half truth from Obama and the left. its not going to cut it. People cant trust anything he says if he so blatantly continues to lie......Hey, if you do beleive everything he says, then you should be extremely happy today. 18 million Americans got Healthcare coverage in a matter of seconds..........or.....18 million americans disappeared off the face of the earth in a matter of seconds................or......the disinformation, lies, and smears are actually coming from Obama and the left. Which one is the most likely?
