I love the healthcare bill and know tons of people that do as well.
Of course people dieing and being forgot about and starving and blacks being rounded up after Katrina is far less of a problem than whatever Obama hasn't done with the Oil spill that you think he should have done.
I didn't vote for Obama...
You might want to check the approval rating statistics again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...pproval_rating |
We need heathcare reform, but you have to admit when Pelosi said we'll know whats in the healthcare bill after it's voted on, well that was kinda scary, now they are after reading everything, that it will not work like Obama said it will, employers have to cut back to afford the changes, it was not voted in bipartisan, it should have been, a good president would have got the two sides to work together on that.

Allowing politicians to be funded by special interests does not help.
ETC...
Instead of complaining about Obama non-stop, how about offering solutions?
PS - If your solutions are already listed above, please try again.

We've had this discussion, Obama even said that less people are paying ANY taxes, it's because poor people and most middle income people pay ZERO taxes, so any tax cuts that only benefit the rich, it's just a way for the democratic machine to spin it.
I have offered solutions, get rid of NAFTA, make it a level playing field for American companies to compete with foreign labor. less government means less taxes. More people working in better paying jobs means more people have healthcare. Use a pipe that goes inside the oil leak and inflates seals with hydraulic pressure to seal the fit with no leaks. Pull out of the two wars completely, drill for domestic oil, control it to supply the US first, then sell to other countries to bring down the price of oil world wide, taking away the money from the middle east and bankrupt them like Reagan brought down the USSR with star wars. Then when the economy can handle it, work on green energy, fire up the nuclear reactors and run them like the military runs reactors on a nuclear sub, no worries.

How about you give Obama that amount of time Reagan required or does he only get 1/8 the the time, for some reason?

If I saw one thing that would indicate that things might get better, I would agree with you, but doing the math, it doesn't add up. And remember it got worse under a democrat controlled house and senate, so I'm not looking to the democrats to make things better
