"Meanwhile the administration wants to make college loans a federal "entitlement," national "service" a household word, and video games a target of presidential wrath. The default mindset is government involvement, not private choice.

Americans didn't vote for big government last November. They voted for a guy who looked like he could keep his cool in the heat of battle. If Obama wants to regain that cool, he needs to rein in the power-grabbers in Washington."

THIS is what the town hall meetings are about...isolating the fear that this country feels to ONE SINGLE issue is not correct, in my opinion. In 7 months....SEVEN MONTHS.......look at how the government is in our lives.....and MOST IF NOT ALL of it is being done with NO DISCUSSION, and that fact should not be lost on americans.

The NO DISCUSSION on such large impact things is flat out scary !

As frightened as I was about the election, when a stimulus bill was passed that was almost HALF pork after the candidate of change said that would never happen, and the bill was never read, I knew the road we were about to travel.

This entire debate on the one issue of health care will end up. NO MATTER THE FACTS, with the President and those wonderful leaders of congress ramming something through and saying how this had to be done and those bad guys on the other side just wouldnt give...this is going to happen no matter what happens in reality in the next few months. AND THIS STATMENT IS IN NO WAY a support statement for the Republican party..simply a statement on the current administration and congress !
