Obama Slaps Fox News As Ratings Continue To Soar

I don't live there any more, but its nice to think my grand children have the great insurance of free medical aid, and the emergency system does work with no need to show a card saying Buba. However I now pay through the nose for my own health and medical requirements its not cheap and I am really glad I do have the money to pay.

However my neighbors are not so lucky, poverty sucks here in the Philippines its not hidden. But in the USA it is, I have seen it and so I guess have you. 

I can say that I really do not begrudge paying a bit more tax to benefit the less unfortunate, I however begrudge paying for the spongers. But it really is nice to know that my grandchildren will be medically cared for if my sons and daughters lose their jobs.

Me personally I don't need to have my chin wiped I do that for others less fortunate than I am here in the Philippines.

But you yanks have got it all wrong its time to have social awareness and care in USA as your not rich any more and its time to look at whats happening on your door step and time to look at what could happen to your grandchildren in the near future as US becomes just another nation.

Clearly my reply is to all American's that have been indoctrinated in the need to be greedy as being part of that great American dream. The apple pie has been nibbled to much and the apples are sour.    

50 million Americans can not afford to have health care! 50 million!!! 1/5th of the pop! Who will take care of those people? Many have to seek treatment in ER tying those up for real emergencies.

You might have heard, the USA is flat ass broke and getting borker by the day. Our deficit under Barack Obama and the Democrat Congress has grown four (4) times larger than the largest deficit of any other previous year ... our unemployment is ballooning beyond 10% in the near future, and there sits one-trillion dollars of newly printed currency at Fort Knox ready to be released into the money supply (M1) without the activity of goods and services to back it up - can you say HYPERINFLATION? ... I knew you could.

ObamaCare, Cap & Trade, and any other agenda item will have to wait until we bring down our country and a good chunk of the rest of the free world with it!

You got it Ed.

please keep personal remarks out of the comments, it's never welcomed and I don't hate my society. You had 8 years to sort out the country and quite frankly the repubs were a disaster!

Two Words:

NANNY STATE!

Ooooops, I forgot to wipe your chin. Sorry.

As I watched Fox last night, I saw on Sean's show a bunch of mostly democrats in a townmeeting platform. Sean asked them question and there was only ONE woman who insist on shaking her head back and forth showing her support for Obama. The rest did not. The Koolaid finally has been stopped drinking by these folks. The woman who kept shaking her head back and forth was angry and was given a chance to speak. She did. She said she lost her job and that she was on medicare and social security and that she was so happy that she had the best insurance in the world under government control. Well, dear Lady, the government control now is not overrun by many as it will if socialist medicine be accepted here in the good old USA. Maybe you like to sit as a welfare person and suck up government aid because you have no interest in be a successful life, many of us don't. This dear lady is called " welfare" at it's best.  Glad to see many patriots have left their party at the door and have joined others to recapture our government from these thugs and this Socialist clueless President.

I'm sure my word will spark more protests luckily I don't have the time I used to be able to  contribute here.

I didn't support Obama until the very last minute of the election and then I didn't vote because I didn't want to be responsible for putting the wrong person in office (I was raised on the platform to vote for the best man - or now, woman).

But I did start to follow FOX and the truth and I've had to yank down every positive word I've ever said about that man when I realized two things one, my mother would be a victim of his healthcare plan and now I, faced with my mother's disease that is much more aggressive than hers and costing me a fortune, would also suffer.

When a public figure won't allow the general public to challenge him - something all political debates and platforms are built upon and keep an open ear (even to the uneducated critics and I don't say that with disrespect - uneducated meaning some people are limited in comprehension and just want the truth - simple, to the point, the first grade version) then it is a red flag for a political figure.

It is a mistake to have a leader who declines an interview or in this case a network to challenge him that is passed off as unimportant when it comes to reporting the truth. 

If his agenda was one that would honestly benefit all but a few, even then those "bumps" in his plan have a place to be addressed especially by those who would be affected.

And all of this rests in the shadow of economic stimulation that is structured like a multi level marketing scheme - someone will always be on top, someone will always lose, and in the end there will be a collapse - in our case a worse depression than seen in the 1930's.

My most trusted news sources - have all been wined and dined by someone who knows how to control others and that is not only frightening but unacceptable based on the platform upon which our government was built.

I'm sorry that the person who appeared to be the best man ended up abusing his power in office.  There is no such thing as selective media outlets in Washington - he is our President, and until he isn't we all are obligated to respect him or any person that holds that office.

But in exchange for that respect, there has to be an open link and communication even if it means being embarrassed in front of the public.  Everyone makes mistakes - other Presidents have been called on their mistakes and addressed them - it takes a real man and a real American to admit they were wrong or used poor judgment or flat out didn’t know what they were talking about.

In the back of my head, I keep trying to tell myself that he will come to his senses even if it means he is completely in the wrong in the face of his protestors - apparently he forgot many of those protestors put him in office - he is obligated to answer questions.  And it is so obvious that he has avoided the truth that in the end, FOX appears to be the only place to get real, All-American, news as it is.

It's a shame that a man who had so much potential has done so much damage to his credibility - hopefully he will realize that before he does any more damage - one can create all the goodwill in the world to get their way but in the end someone will have to pay the bill.

I don't care who is in office when it comes to race or gender (I simply ask for a good leader and a better communicator and listener) but I do care that they are open and honest and when they have made a mistake, will admit it.  It takes a big man to do that and an admission of mistake or problems, only gains more respect and trust by most people.

There are those people on earth that will never forgive someone.  But for the most part we are a forgiving nation, we are all in this together and it is time someone step up and take the reins of responsibility and truth.

I still believe our president has incredible potential but he seems to not know that he has made a major mistake but cutting out part of the media.  We pay him to represent us - and he gets a lot of perks for doing so - therefore he is accountable to those who write his check and pay for the perks of his job.

I can't tell him how to do his job - no one can - but he seems to think he can pull the wool over the public eye and in the end that is the type of thing that will be obvious to all.

If he has nothing to hide and wants to gain respect and confidence from the people whom he represents, he needs to step in from of those that don’t support him and even if he does nothing more than take a verbal beating, it will give him something to think about.

And any good man or woman in a position of power and responsibility will likely lose sleep until those issues are addressed with tact and respect - not ignorance by trying to categorize them as some group of irresponsible, bigoted citizens – as that is simply not the case for the majority of the people whom he has upset.

(YOU ARE WELCOME TO REPLY WITH ANY DISPUTES - it may be a while before I can get back to them).

This figure is incorrect, it is unscrubbed propaganda - it is not "no longer can afford" its more like a combination of illegal alien, young and healthy, willing to gamble and when one strips this out ... the "no longer can afford" or chronically uninsured comes to about 15 million.

That still leaves about 280 million generally comfortable with their choices ... and the fact that they still HAVE CHOICES.

I just want to input something:  We lost more soldiers in Afghanistan over the past 6 weeks then we did in any other timeframe of such in all the years we were over there under President Bush.  Obama has managed to spend more money than any other president EVER in only 7 short months.  Obama is pushing this health bill through even though he admittedly stated that he would not have his family participate.  Unemployment is at the highest it has been for a decade........with 500,000 'new' people each month applying for unemployment benefits.  Obama believes in taking from the 'rich' (which it appears that is anyone making $30K or more a year) and giving it to the poor - I'm all for taking care of people that are down and out but why not just fix the government sponsored programs we have in place now and have stipulations on how and for how long they will 'support' the down and out?  Obama DOES NOT believe in America (or he wouldn't be apologizing for us when he travels abroad) - America, until now, has always been built on the fact the if you work hard you can reap rewards - under Obama the opposite is true.  I wonder more and more everyday what I am working so hard for - especially now that what I make won't better my family it will be paid in taxes to support those that aren't, or can't, or don't want to work.  Why should I try so hard when I can just live off the government.  I would also like to know what Obama is giving up?  Is he forfeiting any of his salary during this 'hard' time?  Is he forgoing vacations?  Jet travel?  Chauferred automobiles?  I don't about you but I am very, very concerned with the future and where he is taking us.  I would also like to know why he isn't putting money into the hands of the American people - the very ones that CAN stimulate the economy?  Is it because then he won't have 'control' (which apparently he wants to control everything from banks, to health care, to automakers, to what kind of cars we buy, how 'green' our homes are, etc.)  When is enough, enough with this guy?  How many presidents before him critized newspeople for what they said or wrote?  How many presidents before asked to be told if ANYONE said anything 'negative' about a topic (Obama recently did this regarding HIS health care bill).  There was a guy like him many years ago - that did just this - made changes very fast, took control of 'everything' for the 'better' of the people, didn't want anyone to comment on any of his actions ............Hitler!  Remember him?

So America does not want to be a caring society and its poor and less fortunate have no patriotic value, because US patriotism really means I am all right jack stuff you.  Its times like this when I am proud to be British our health service may suck a bit sometimes but at least its there even for the street bums.

.  

When one takes the action to increase bad decisions put forth by a previous Administration and compound them by QUADRUPLING them ... I think we all know what is worse.

Obama has increased this country's debt over any Bush year by four (4) times through the passing of Stimulus and Omnibus spending bills.

J2B, please pull you head out of the Kool-Aid vat, dry your face off, and get back into the society you obviously hate ... it may actually put a smile on your face to join something that is honest, for once.

Personally, I have had NO YEARS to sort out the country, I am not in politics.

You need an education in disasters ... Oh! Wait! ... We're getting one!

according to a report yesterday on CNN, 44 million can no longer afford health care.

Fill up the ER's? 

Excellent post. I watched that show, as I always do.

"But you yanks have got it all wrong its time to have social awareness and care in USA as your not rich any more and its time to look at whats happening on your door step and time to look at what could happen to your grandchildren in the near future as US becomes just another nation."  

I think you are too  hard on us. You suggest the US is lacking social awareness; but I would imagine that we have distributed more aid worldwide than any other industrialiized nation...and probably several times the amount of some nations combined. Also no one...no one...gets left on the street to die here in America. Everyone...everyone ...citizen or not ...contributor to the social fabric or bum on the street... gets treated in our emergency rooms

We have plenty of social awareness and compassion. What we don't have is  anymore money. We need to revive our economy so we can continue to help our selves and others here and overseas.

84 % of us have health insurance and 75 % of those who have it are satisfied with it.  When you look at the 16% who are uninsured - factor out the ones who can afford it and choose not to have it because they balance the cost against their need; then take out the ones who do qualify for an existing government program - but fail to sign up; then factor out the millions of illegals who may be working here but are sending hundreds of millions of dollars back home. I imagine that out of 310 million Americans the number of those who truly need and deserve  more government assistance is nowhere near the 47 million that keeps getting thrown about.

I would be in favor of cutting back our generous foreign aid programs, including the billions sent to the Phillipines, if that would cover our citizens who through no fault or decision of their own remain  uninsured.  perhaps that that would  satisy the critics who say we don't do enough for our own people.

Since we are "not rich any more' and becoming "just another another nation" maybe we should stop sending our tax dollars overseas and worry more about our "grand children" . I think that is an excellent Idea.   

When Congress comes up with a plan that targets our truly needy citizens people and pays for it by reducing foreign aid  to those who disparage and resent us ...I will support it enthusiastically.

Actual number of sick people and hard cases that can not afford Health Care is more around 15 million - scrub out non-citizens, the very young, and those who are gambling ... 15 million TOPS!

The Government, by law, has to support treatment in ER.

i hate all politicians.  they are all crooks.  generally, democrats are (slightly) more evil.

as for health care, i don't want it.  the only way i'd EVER go to a hospital is unconcious.  maybe if the FDA was good & honest, and actually cared about our health, most people wouldn't need to go to the hospital.  so, you see where the problem is now, don't you?
