Same old crap. You had no solutions in your diatribe. The man spoke of improving the state of this nation. After eight years of killing foreigners in their own land, the bush administration did nothing for US!

Remember, if you're not part of the solution, you are the problem. Considering your litany of complaints, I suppose your position is clear. You have to stop watching Beck/Rush/Hannity/O'Reilly. THEY are the subversives. Or do you think creating an insurrection for no good reason is American? Has anything in your ridiculous litany come true? Exactly my point.

The Democrats won the last election. Soundly and fairly. It looks as though the Repubs will lose a few more seats in 2010, so I wouldn't pop the cork on the champagne just yet. Your whiny, trash talk just confirms to all that the Repubs are not fit to run this country just yet. In fact, maybe not for a looooooooooong while. So, keep it up!

When Obama took on the GOP myth that the Democrats’ proposal would cover illegal immigrants, for example, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) screamed, “You lie!” Responding for the GOP afterward, Rep. Charles Boustany (R-La.), a physician who’s accepted more than $1.2 million from health and insurance interests in the past five years, blasted the president’s vision with the popular conservative criticism that it proposes a government takeover of the nation’s health care system. And, most importantly, Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), an influential member of the Gang of Six, issued a statement afterward saying she “would have preferred that the [public plan] were taken off the table.” [...] [...] “A Passionate Appeal to Salvage the Impossible,” is by Mike Lillis at The Washington Independent (9/9/09).  This excellent article features quotes from the President’s speech combined with tight little bits of background clarification.  For example: Early signs, however, indicate that the Republicans are ready to continue fighting the Democrats’ plans.
