You’ve heard of hot air…..good speakers are always full of this…particularly when they appeal to the needy and less able to comprehend mans’ pursuit of power.

I believe in judging the action rather than the words……cause they can be empty, particularly when they soothe………the public is mesmerized….I have been through a war and more…….I say, “show me the money”

Obama just got the job. He knows it’s a shambles; he knows Americans expect a miracle; and he is man enough to take it on; stand in front of the people; give them the bad news; little by little, day by day – so the ones with the pea sized brains can take it in – all this knowing that the really small brains will pin it on him while ignoring history.

Maybe he does read the Daily Reckoning as he is no ordinary dude. Now that he is Chief Pooba, checking out the looted treasury he must decide what to do and what to tell the dumb f%$#@!’s that pay the taxes.

Maybe the Reckoning should engage in Obama advice. Can you take the Empire of Debt; sift through the debris; and prevent the fall of the American Empire?
At least the man is a listener and currently has the ear.

Is it just me, or are some people bitter about Obama being elected President??? Weird…. Anyway, can you not wrap your pea-sized brains around the fundamental unsustainability of a nation that invests all of its resources into military wars of aggression while its people are bankrupted and relegated back to 3rd world living conditions???

“Paying for “health Insurance for all” will result in resources stretched thin, quality of service declines, delays in treatment”

As opposed to “just flat out bankrupting & unaffordable” now? The “ever increasing costs” bit is pure fearmongering. Tell it to the Euopeans…

That’s the part about all this that cracks me up; socialized medicine has been a “qualified success,” and capitalist medicine a “raging failure” for decades now…but people want to act like the sky is falling. Do you seriously never travel or read the news beyond your local 3-county fishwrap?

How did we get here? We got here by having the majority of the sheoples who with a 3rd grader’s understanding of economics..or the english language for that matter, voting bHo into office and re-electing Nancy, Barney, Ted, et al. What pisses me off is that by the time I get to vote here in Texas my choices have been defined by the translucent skinned blue blood idiots in Iowa! Ron Paul has the right ideas but no one has the guts to put him in charge including or especially the liberal DemoRATS in House and Senate. Of course you fine people who read the DR excluded.

What I find more important is that the links you provide on the DR website are NOT all working which more often than not is the case since the facelift. It is also more difficult to find stuff than it was before and it needs more clicks and page reloads to get where you want. But hey, the logo has some nice colouring now…

Throwing money into a black hole, then raising taxes on those with capital is a real winner.

You can’t change anything by trying to fix the current system. The current system doesn’t work, that’s the whole problem and until that is addressed (Ron Paul had the right ideas), nothing Obama says or does will change anything.

I don’t know what Obama reads, but certainly not the Constitution. He stepped outside the bounds of the Constitution his first day in office. The Constitution says (Art. VI Sec. 2) that the Constitution is the “Supreme Law of the Land.” One who steps outside the bounds of the Constitution is, then, an outlaw.

We must get the outlaws out of government office.

I work in the public sector. I meet the unwashed dessins every day. Universal health care will destroy this country. There is a huge % of the population that does not care for them selves at all. If a hospital bills you $4 for one acetaminphen

Then there is not enough $ in the US of A to keep everyone healthy.
