The house in technical terms has a very strong power over budget spending but in reality not many senators or congressman have high morals out there and in turn they can't control the budget spending of the President as easily as it seems on paper. The house currently and in the five years before Obama knew their vote count would go downhill if they didn't approve the budget spending of Bush. Who would vote for the congressman or senator that didn't approve spending money on our own troops in the middle east? It may have not been that reason but obviously any President would make it look like that to get his own way. Also, I see in no way how health care could possibly be bad for the community in any way except the amount of money it costs to maintain it, but you never stated that. The recession we recently went through was mainly Bush's fault and if you can't accept that then that's your loss. On another note, calling Obama "Osama" was just a cheap shot, but it was expected coming from some redneck republican.

EDIT: When I was referring to him as a redneck I was providing an example of a stereotype commonly used in the world of politics and debating, I wasn't trying to insult him, I was just showing if he has to snoop low enough to call Obama "Osama," I can refer to political stereotypes as well. Obviously not all republicans are rednecks, especially not when you live in Denver, CO.

Obama promised ''change" throughout his campaign. The only major "change" that he's brought so far (that would directly affect the American public) has been the Obamacare bill, which I believe is a step in the wrong direction for America. I don't care for him

Me myself, I'm tired of the rep that the Republican's get. They are thought of as racist pigs who are out for themselves, while Democrats are the magical world saving fairy's. Every President is good in his own way. I'm not a big fan of the healthcare bill myself. The bill does make it possible for the Government to make us do something though done with good intention. I still don't see an end to this war coming anytime soon.

Amen.

Give a man a fish, he eats tonight. ---------Liberal
Teach him how to fish, he eats forever. --------Conservative

I use that as a basic example to show the difference between Democrats and Republicans to friends who know absolutely nothing about politics. It's a bit biased, but I find it sums it up quite nicely. Just because Conservatives aren't foaming at the mouths trying to get the scope of welfare increased doesn't mean that they're racist pigs.

Bad pres...he didnt do anything he said he would and everything he has done sucks

Here we go...



I completely agree. While change is not always beneficial, in a time of great change in every aspect of life, from the way we communicate to the way we see the world, change in America is indeed necessary.



Simply because Democrats have "the power in Congress" does not mean that such national issues are their fault, because it does not take many people in opposition of something for it to be held back. A perfect example of this is the Healthcare bill. Democrats control the House, but the few Republicans in Congress voted against it, and therefore it took months and months for Obama to finally push it through legislation.



I agree. Many people look at Obama's healthcare bill and think he's a bad person, when if you take a clear look at what he's trying to do, you'll realize his intentions are in the right place. I understand that the minor tax raises for the wealthy and those who decide to continue to be uninsured may seem wrong, but it is simply ensuring that the new costs of providing quality health care are met.



If you believe that that is true, then you're simply not listening to what is going on. Obama is attempting to push many things through legislation. What you have to understand is that the President does not have the power to simply push something through legislation without putting it through Congress first. If he did not have the issues he is having with Congress, we'd be having many other reforms than simply Health Care reform. For example, Obama is trying to make Immigration Reform, Energy Reform, and Finance Reform.



What exactly are you referring to? What did he exactly say he would do that he did not, or is not trying to do?

He's not the perfect president, but he is by far better than GWB or John McCain. You know, it takes time to make up for eight years of crap.

Well if he's not able to "push it through Congress," when his party has the majority of the seats, then there's obviously something wrong with the legislation, even among Democrats

And notice I said what he's done, not what he's attempting to do.

WOW Dirty, you are real mature, I would have expected this from a new member, but name calling from a super mod, Little immature, dont yah think. My post did not call anyone out, I stated my thoughts and opinions on the president and the issues as I see it, if that offended you, so be it, I did not nor will I judge you solely on your politics, you how ever are lesser of a man, since you have to name call to try and get your point across, oh and by the way the OSAMA was ment to be OBAMA, spell error on my part.
