** MESSAGE TO AMERICANS ** - "BIG BUSINESS RUNS THIS COUNTRY"

That's exactly the message that is being sent if President Obama folds like a used summer lawn chair on the public option!



I come back from vacation to see this spineless garbage .... I want to puke.

4. Been like that since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was implemented
This nation is controlled by large financial institutions (mainly banks) and big business. The Federal Reserve is essentially a privately run banking cartel that prints money at will, increasing inflation and putting an unfair inflationary tax on the people.

Has been that way for decades. But I never expected Obama to turn it around in a matter of months. It will take decades to reverse the damage.
