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...

Paul MacLean Hey, the folks here, in Canada and the UK seem to really like President Obama!!...Like most viewers and readers have indicated or agreed on...it's only been six months, but dont expect to get "lunch" for free folks!!...so why not just back off on the poor guy, and give him a chance...Im dure he'll do fine, considering the hellhole he's in...healthcare crisis, fledgling economy, and two really useless wars..go figure!!

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.

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...

CNN American Morning Join us for the 'most news in the morning' Monday-Friday 6-9 AM ET.
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.
4 hours ago
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...

Mark Owenby, The Health care system is in a recession!

Paul MacLean, A question, if anyone can answer..Does treason also warrant the death penalty?...I suppose it depends on the individual case...,right?...Canada and the UK don't have the dealth penalty..treasonists/treasoners (wot ever you wanna call them) just get life without parole...
Yesterday at 10:56
Paul MacLean, Wow..death penalty....sheeesh!! a debate I normally don't want to discuss...but it gets my blood pumpin'..BTW..Im against the death penalty...but, with wot some of the things that people do and its frequencies (criminal acts) these days, it kinda makes me wonder...but about roughly 25/30 years ago both houses of Parliament (Canada and UK) have had numerous discssions and debates of and about reinstating the death penalty...obviously, not much has come out those talks, in either houses...and the rule of law still stands as..NO DEATH PENALTY of any sort is nor will be permitted til further dicussion and debate...

Yesterday at 13:38
Paul MacLean, @Misty..,there's a big difference between just speaking your mind and blatantly lying to authorities about recent overseas' trips and reasons..
1)...it NOT against the law to tell or write to people about his feelings towards the Muslim Faith and how he wants to convert, in fact, its NOT even against the law to say that he would like to join the Jihad...personally not my idea of a "boy scout weekend meeting"
2)...IT IS against the law to conspire against anyperson or persons, or country(s)of any wrong doings to cause harm or fatalities...the FBI were pobably tipped off, somtime in the past few hyears(in which WE do not have full details of)...unfortunately..Mr.Boyd just doesn't know how to lie properly and more than likely, he eluded authorites when questioned...thats all....he JUST may be a person of interest for that matter...
3)...Like I said, sometimes the media doesn't ALWAYS tell you everything..which is probaly the reason why we're quick to jump on everything the way we do.
Yesterday at 15:01
Misty Jones Budzinski, @Paul....I may be a person of interest...and you may be also, but where is the evidence? There is a reason the media does not tell every detail or may leave details out....I wont even go there....but I am CONCERNED, however, that the man may only be guilty of being a radical, which as far as I know, is NOT illegal.
