Whitehouse “snitch on your neighbor” project (ObamaCare)

1. I can see no other way out of this mess other than to raise taxes and of course cut spending. The US has been running significant deficits for the past 7 or 8 years as the last surpluses were under Clinton. Since Obama has been spending like a druken sailor, cutting costs isn't likely.

2. As a non-American, I can say that in general, the rest of the world actually has a better opinion of the US since the change of administrations. I believe that the people that are most upset with Obama's foreign policies are the hard core, right wing Republicans. Personally, I think that Obama set totally unattainable expectations for himself and he is almost certain to fail in some areas. I also believe that it is too early to judge whether or not his foreign policies are good or bad. Time will tell.

He seems to be more interested in giving prime time speeches on TV rather than getting the job done, however. The international press was in love with the new President but now after about 6 months in power, we are beginning to see opinions come out that are more critical. I recently read an article that basically said that he is very good at campaigning, but now he has to stop campaigning and begin leading. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

I could care less what the rest of the world thinks about us. Only the liberals seem to think it's a priority to make the rest of the world love us. The rest of the world always comes running anytime they need help, but the rest of the time they talk crap about us. Screw them...

I guess as a Canadian you just don't understand. Both of my grandfathers fought in WW2 to free Europe, my father fought in Vietnam and I fought in the Middle East to free Kuwait. Both of my grandfathers were wounded, and I have service connected health problems that I will live with the rest of my life. I have friends that returned in a box. I think we as Americans have given a lot to this world that seems to hate us most of the time. My.02

As a Canadian I do get it. While I never served in the military, I have many relatives that did serve. Except for Viet Nam and Iraq, the Canadian military has been right there beside the US, Britian, Austrailia, and the other allies in WWI, WWII, Korea, etc. While many people in the Middle East do hate the US, Canadians certainly are not to be included as you insinuate. We have much more in common than we have different.

I respect you and all service men and women that fight for our countries and make sacrifices for the freedom that we enjoy. Unfortunately far too many Canadians have been coming home in boxes from Afganistan lately.

Canada is a very liberal state with tons of liberal citizens - that's the problem.

So why is that a problem for you? Are they an evil empire? Are they invading other countries and enslaving there population? Are they cruel to their own people? Is it just one big welfare country? So let's see because they take care of each other and live and work harmoniously with themselves and the rest of the world that makes them bad people? you have a serious mental problem, and should really get help for that!
