The coffee was still brewing when Chris Ann Cleland got her first reminder of the day that voting for Barack Obama might have been a mistake.

Candace Witte, the man 's been in office 6 months... come on folks...you gave the idiot that he preceded 8years wake up and smell the coffee

Stacey Remick-SimkinsOne of the most amazing things about this is that after the Bush Administration nearly destroyed us financially, morally and culturally -- a mess that he spent eight years making-- everyone wants Obama to fix the mess in less than six months. This is a staggering level of impatience. I am a little stunned. At least Obama is trying...as any of us would find ourselves in this untenable situation.....how about giving him a term at least? No wonder we are in so much trouble.

What is equally troubling is that a new trend towards hateful rhetoric is flaring....I just heard a comment this morning from "fiscal conservatives" arguing that those who are seriously ill should give up and die so we can free up funds. Is this what our country is becoming? Truly the worst of itself?

Kelley Zanfardino, Not only does everyone what everything fixed in 6 months - they want it for free. Correct the mess that was created over the past 8 years will cost some money. We've been deficit spending too long and the bill has finally come due!

Bob Thompson, Unfortunately the idiot that destroyed this country still has cronies in power and in influential places doing their best to stall and blame (kinda like a reverse shock and awe). It will unfortunately take time so stop sharpening your "blame finger"

Lisa Gay Greer, Yep, it's staggering that so many W. voters-- especially two time ones-- even have the gall to open their mouths about Obama... within weeks, not even 6 months as they were and are. I could care less what they think about any of it since they are to blame for the attitude and lack of sense that got us into all of this. I guess endless war, trillions in tax cuts, and idiocy was much better than what we have now. Keep watching FOX; I know it makes you feel better...

Yesterday at 12:31. Health care hecklers: Can we talk – civilly? – amFIX - CNN.com Blogs
Source: amfix.blogs.cnn.com
This August, lawmakers on summer break are holding town hall meetings so voters can ask questions and get answers about health care reform. Except, as some describe it, in some districts those town hall ...

Eather M Greene Henry, The debate is how the Right Wing can't stand the fact that Obama is the president. They refuse to see theor role in their defeat and will do anything to see him fail so they can" ride to country's rescue" with their selfish, racist, creationist agenda.

Paul MacLean, @Eather...why do you keep bringing up race..you're beating a dead horse...let the GOP think wot they want to think, like..,who really cares, right? right!! The US healthcare system, just like any other country, as we know it, is in a deep recession (as it has been for the past 20/30 years)...this involves EVERYONE, regardless if you're black, whit, disabled, woman, etc...Obama knows and is well aware of all that, and so do the ALL the rest of the members of the house....but YOU do have your right to opinionize, but you also need to do wot is best...,all Im saying, is to move on, and concentrate on wot is really at stake here for you and your family(s)...re-evaluate your health insurance to see if it's right for you..if not, switch or talk to your senator and other state govenment bodies...

Paul MacLean, @Daniel...I agree!!...the only ones who don't want anything to change are those who ALREADY have a good thing going... and couldn't give a rat's ass for the 47 million who DON'T have anything...maybe it is time, that caps are discussed a little more deeply...perhaps the US can somehow, discuss or debate, on a possibility OF implementing a similar idea of universal healthcare, obviously for those just can't simply afford a bandaid....there are always options that can be tested, tried and voted on, but it has to happen NOW!!...no more stupid town hall meetings or public surveys/polls..it HAS to change NOW!!...Why is the US so stubborn?...

Shannon Stafford, Americans are self centered. Canada, Great Britian, and the rest of the common wealth and most of Europe pay higher taxes so everyone can have health care and other basic needs. All americans care about is me me me and me. one day america will catch up with the rest of the world.

Paul MacLean, @Shannon..,Yes, it is true that Canada and the UK do pay MUCH higher taxes so that we can get some sort of healthcare. It may not be the quickest, and may not even be the best, but who knows...In the past 20 to 25 years, a trend of some sort has taken place, a couple of our provinces have actually adopted US style of health care, 2nd tier, or better yet known as privatized healthcare, obviously for those who can afford it. Canadian reisdences, as a whole, is hoping that the government will consider in taking steps to allow ALL provinces to adopt all choices of healthcare that one can choose from...but there's a really stupid catch-22 to all of this...Those who have pre-existing conditions or illness(s) will have to stick with the old universal plan...and that probably accounts for 60% of our medical seeking patients here in Canada...In the UK, it's different, they just don't have enough specialists...their healthcare plan(s) just won't cover the high costs for specialists...

Thanks
