Obama Doesn't Do It All

http://is.gd/bK6sd Great article on Obama's successes so far in office

short excerpt: "Barack Obama's right-wing opponents cast him as a socialist failure. His left-wing hecklers see him as an overcautious hedger. But, critics notwithstanding, the President is on a path to be a huge success by the time of November's midterm elections."

Republicans, Help US or get out of the Way

It Had to be Said.

WE ARE The Government

Elated and Dismayed: HCR passes

How in the world can I be Happy and perplexed at the same time. Health Care Reform has finally come to the United States, but it's amidst much bending of rules and twisting of truths. Not to mention, there are several strings attached that have yet to come to light under the weight of thousands of pages of fluff in the bill.

Woe is me! I'm ripped and torn. I congratulate President Obama who has worked tirelessly and had the vision to bring about Change. At the same time, I would like to take a ruler to his hand for appearing to kowtow to a Republican heirarchy that is hell-bent on destroying this country just to appear as a united front.

What do you think of these shenanigans in our government?

Here's a few facts and fallacies about the Reform Bill http://factcheck.org/2010/03/a-final-weekend-of-whoppers/

Two peas in a pod

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered
her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an
hour ago,but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot
air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346
feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north
latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be an Obama Democrat."
"I am,"replied the man. "How did you know?"
Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information,
and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you
are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of
hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you
expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you
were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."
