I thought he let Congress prepare the bill to facilitate the process? Wait a minute.....am I defending Obama? I changed my mind. Yeah....right....what you said. :bowdown:

If the bill is "thoughtfully prepared" but needs our agents' votes to be implemented, doesn't it make sense to open it up for full explanation, understanding and debate? To say, "just vote YEA and trust me" negates the check-and-balance. If the bill is that good, it should not just be something written in the dark and implemented in a rush.

All of our money and lives are going to be affected by this bill, so shouldn't we all understand it first? Anything less indicates the bill contains some surprises that no one wants known until it's too late.

You are a birther....and thank you for making my point.

Sally Jo...I beg to differ about the recount. The Supreme Court halted the recount. And you are right that the exit polls, for the first time, did not mirror the actual count. This only fuels the speculation that some funny business went on. I understand why people in CA want to hold election results from the East and I think they did do a good job this year waiting and releasing by region.

Neither of us can change what happened in 2000...the funny thing to me was many of my Republican friends were raging about how no President that lost the general election but won the Electoral would be legitimate. They sure changed their tune....

How about making a point instead of the usual drive-by baloney.
Also, I forgot to add to my list that Obama is a racist. He proved it by calling an action by a white policeman "Stupidly" Funny...the words that come out of one's own mind when a teleprompter is apparently not working.

Watch Glenn Beck tonight at 5 pm.... he plans to make this point.

The only thing one can do is laugh!

Laughter is good medicine...you should come to forum a few times a day to stay healthy.:jester:

Like I would watch Glen Beck

You wanted a point by point answer:

He has never showed his original birth certificate.

He didn't spend his formative years growing up in America so culturally he is not American

This is just BS...he spent most of his fomative years in Hawaii the 50th state

He has spent half his life aligned with radical extremists who hate America and has refused to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

Just more crap.. He served on a board with a former Weatherman. I wouldn't call that aligned.
He wants to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector...so yes he is a socialist.

You have no proof he is a socialist...

He will not listen or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

He met with the Republicans during the stimulus debate accepted some changes and then NOT one Republican voted for the stimulus package.

He has never run a company or met a payroll.

Would you like to talk about W's failed business history.

He blames America for everything and delivers this message abroad.

Just another load of crap.....

He is the most arrogant and self-important hypocrite I have ever seen as a POTUS and I will beat that drum every day for the next 3 1/2 years until he is replaced by a responsible American.

I think I can name at least one other totally arrogant administration in recent history.

And we all know what you mean when you say he isn't an American

Sure, why not... laughter is good medicine.

Yeah, But...
 

If that's all that was done in some extra time taken before voting, I'd agree. But if Congress is given more time, not only does the "debate" become stone-throwing, but too many self-serving legislators and their moneyed lobbyist backers start adding amendments or changing the language, often to something 180 degrees from what was intended.

Juat as Bucco doesn't trust the President, I have at least an equal amount of distrust for the U.S. Congress. Given the choice, I'll side with the "benevolent dictator".

I say that congress taking their August recess is the best thing that can happen. They can do no harm when they are home.

:a20: Thanks for making me more healthy. LOL

Must???
 

There's only a couple of things we MUST do, Bucco. Publishing an article so poorly researched as this one isn't one of them.

If you get a sense of relief from this article, and if the author's research is as poorly done as is reflected in the sentence that you cut and pasted from the article (above), then the exchange of barbs above regarding laughter and it's benefits certainly apply. The author apparently doesn't know and didn't bother to try to find out the academic record needed to get into the Harvard Law School. Or the academic achievement needed to be selected to write for the Harvard Law Review. Or to be chosen to edit the Law Review. Frankly, I'm surprised that Ben Stein (the author of thr article) wrote such a ridiculous statement. He should know better. Like President Obama, he graduated from Columbia University, going on the Yale Law School, where he was valedictorian of his class. Why would Stein make such a statement, when his own academic experience shows that he absolutely knows better?

"...complete lack of scholarship"? Now that's laughable. If this is the best article you could find to give you relief, Bucco, I'd suggest you keep looking.
