		<description>If some people did not have access to nutritional meals, would Obama want to take over the food industry?

Probably.

We saw what happened when the govt. got involved with lending to people that would not normaally qualify for loans.

We will all be paying for that fiasco for a long, long time.

But the govt. run cash for clunkers program was a real success. Unless you are one of the many car dealers who hasn&#039;t received a dime from the govt. yet, of the money they were supposed to receive.

Healthcare won&#039;t be so complicated as that multi-faceted car buying scheme.

I&#039;m sure the govt. can give everyone better healthcare and reduce costs and it won&#039;t cost anyone anything.

I never thought I&#039;d see the day that we had so many gullible Americans. But it is here. Thank God we haven&#039;t all drunk the Kool-Aid.</description>

		<description>Mike, a couple of points: 

1) you&#039;re in the minority about wanting public-funded healthcare. 

2) Bush overspent (or failed to veto Congress&#039; overspending) and we yelled and screamed about it. You apparently weren&#039;t paying attention.  

3) Obama has overspent Bush several times over. He can&#039;t blame Bush for that.  He&#039;s not trying to solve a problem, he&#039;s exacerbating it. This years&#039; omnibus bill was astounding. His stimulus bill was astounding. Even the Democratic congressmen are asking him (finally) to explain how on earth we can pay for this healthcare thing.

4) it&#039;s not just conservatives who are upset. 

Who&#039;s not thinking?</description>

		<description>Perhaps the reason that his numbers have slipped is because so many people are screaming socialist and calling him a nazi at whatever he tries to do.

What don&#039;t you understand about &quot;We do want it?&quot; 

As far as the deficit is concerned, where were all of you fiscally conservative and responsible people when George Bush and the Republican Congress were simultataneously cutting taxes and raising spending.  Nobody promised a quick fix to a long standing problem and to call him a failure after only 5 months following the passage of the stimulus package is sheer nuts.

Or you were never willing to give him a chance in the first place. We didn&#039;t elect him to be a conservative, btw, so &quot;representing everyone&quot; doesn&#039;t mean giving in to the way things you want them to me.  

Spend a little time thinking. It&#039;s a good thing you rarely wander into politics.</description>
