Socialized Health Care in the USA

No. The idiots are out. They lost the election.

Actually, I think we all lost the election.

Idiocy? Idiocy is continuing the failed policies of the past and expect then to work this time around.

More like insanity, but I hear you.

Obama's ideas might work, they might not. But at least, if they're mistakes, they're new mistakes.

I don't disagree with your assessment of the past, however, I'm not seeing the "Change" other than trading one set of smug "in your face" politicians for another. Am I joyfully clapping about losing my standard of living, and being taxed higher to boot? No, I don't get it. But, I can see why the anti-America crowd will rejoice in our being made miserable.

I still don't understand why you might believe a lawyer and junior Senator from Chicago has all the answers to solve; the auto industry, health care, the economy, world peace and the environment (did I miss anything? I'm sure I did). It is certain the last guy did not, but I'm not buying the Obamamania t-shirt just yet.

I'm reacting to thousands of pages of legislation coming out of committee, and being presented for floor votes with very limited or no debate in the same day to 1) prevent the "People" and the opposition from getting a chance to understand the bill, 2) prevent any opposition to gain traction within the press, and 3) prevent anyone knowledgeable about the topic to crunch the numbers to determine errs. It's insane to claim this is the intent of our deliberative form of government.
