CHEAP SHOTS?

Foreign policy, he travels to multiple countries for multiple purposes. Apologizing all the way. That has never been done before by an American President. Had it worked it might have been called "brilliant!" It didn't. All mouth promises of greater cooperation and understanding. Then Iran fires missles like its their Forth of July, and N Korea does the same. China plays NASCAR 'rubbin' n 'bumpin' with out subs, Russia sends an additional 60,000 troops into Georgia, and COINCIDENTALLY shows a nuke sub off OUR Georgia.
Is it a cheap shot to say that those are ALL provocations, Proving that his Apology Tours were naive and STUPID!

Further foreign relations, he made us look like a nation of dumb asses in not one, but 2 gift exchanges with our best ally.
Did this amateur gang check with ANYONE on the protocol of these exchanges?

Promises and reality,
The promises, No lobbyists, no corruption, total transparency, total accountability. The reality, lobbyists running rampant in every Gov. dept. Corruption obvious to all but those with heads deeply in the sand, bankruptcy laws discarded like yesterday's newspaper and the Constitution with it.. NO transparency at all, everything a back room $DEAL. Accountability, sure, what lie would you like them to tell you?
Want them to tell you about the Health Care CRISIS? A crisis over a QUARTER OF A CENTURY OLD, is NOT a crisis.
The financial meltdown was/IS a crisis, CAUSED by politicians of both parties, not Obama. It remains a crisis, nothing has changed the crisis but now financial companies are hoarding our money.

Real Estate crisis continues unabated. Bad loans to uncreditworthy buyers does not have a solution except massive losses of money, evictions, and a do over without emotional loans. Existing home sales rose 5% last month, YEA!!, Small footnote, prices dropped another 15%. 2 sides on that coin.

Stimulus plan a joke if it was not a pork party. That was another CRISIS lie. Had to be passed WITHOUT being read, then didn't have to be signed for 3 days after being passed. How obvious does the BS have to be for you to see it. And months after the conjured crisis only 15% of the money for "Shovel ready" projects has been spent. The BS Shovel. Wonder if the C4C checks will get paid with the same snailish velocity?

Now the Health Care CRISIS [the same crisis that was OLD when Clinton UNSUCCESSFULLY attacked it 16 years ago]
It is a problem needing some fixing, was then, is now. It is not a Health Care CRISIS, scratch that, A lack of coverage crisis, scratch that, a hospital, doctor overcharge crisis, scratch that, an unaccounted insurance company crisis. ALL LIES! The latest lie about insurance is the most desperate. Politicians have deeply regulated EVERYTHING about insurance companies for all my life. If insurance companies are bad, politicians made them bad. as they did banks, and the real estate market.

Government run health care, we KNOW all about it, but refuse to look at our own knowledge.
We have Medicare, we have Medicaid, and we have VA. Care is fine under all those programs. But all are bankrupt. obummer says we will save BILLIONS for universal health care by eliminating fraud and waste in Medicare and Medicaid.
Ahhh,,,,,,,,,,shouldn't we be doing that no matter what health care bill is or is not under consideration? A rookie statement by the administration. VA, good care, broke, and the essence of rationing. I'm a vet, have no combat wounds in need of treatment, If I ever do, I can have treatment, but for now, I make too much money for the VA to cover me at all. And I am NOT rich!
Medicare and Medicaid, 2 separate and distinct programs, but care is good in both. Why? Because they have the support system provided by the entire PRIVATE HEALTH CARE system we have. Take away the private health care system and Medicare, Medicaid, the VA AND Universal Health Care would all collapse.
Canada gets a lot of mention, pro and con. There can be NO question that many Canadians come here to avoid long waits there with their Government run system. The entire population of Canada is 33 million. Medicare alone covers 45 million Americans. And its broke and has the private system shoring it up.
A wise and EXPERIENCED executive would look into the health care delivery system and identify and prioritize its failings.
And then fix them one at a time as FUNDING becomes available. It is idiocy and arrogance to scrap a system that preforms as well as ours no matter what its cost and FEW failings.

And most often it is the racist that FIRST plays the 'hate and bigotry' card. obummer is not bad because of his color, he is bad because he is a ventriloquist's dummy.

Something good to say. When he has a practiced and prepared speech and a teleprompter, his delivery is terrific.
