1. By January, he will have accomplished more than any first-year president since Franklin Roosevelt.

from your link.

2. What's wrong with what he wrote?

[brentspeak]

3. 1) The health care legislation is a triumph only for the insurance industry

2) While a stimulus was need, much of this stimulus money was wasted, and is actually NOT contributing to an ending of any recession

3) We're not in a "recession"; we're in the middle of a permanent economic decline. Only a radically new trade policy and a ruthless clampdown of total regulations on Wall St. will reverse this. Obama is doing the opposite on the latter (too soon what he's going to do re. trade policy).

4) Afghanistan.

4. Yes, this health care legislation mostly benefits the Insurance Industry.

But should we be surprised? - the DLC serve their corporate masters and throw the people scraps.

It doesn't matter if you are not denied health insurance if you must DECLARE BANKRUPTCY to afford the premiums for treatment. :crazy:

5. Obama has given the corporations a brilliant year.

Not such a good year for the people.

[Aramchek]

6. you have no idea what that man's situation is, yet you use him as a pawn in your blame game

despicable.

8. He just got back from getting glitzy with Obama and Michele at one of their lavish White House

extravaganzas.

:sarcasm: :banghead: :grr:

14. Do you have anything to offer except one-liner anti-Obama rhetoric and an exploited photo?

Considering that man in the photo would be one of the millions that would benefit from HCR, your blatant attempt at exploiting
him is not only tasteless but ridiculous.

15. He may benefit if he gets a job and lives until 2014.

Maybe.

7. what's a neoliberal?

I'm guessing that since neoconservatives used to be liberals, a neoliberal is someone who used to be a conservative? Any other qualifications?

I'm not familiar with the term.

9. Well Bob should be happy

Citigroup should have declared bankruptcy and he'd be facing shareholder lawsuits for his incompetence on the Board of Directors this year if it weren't for his old friends Larry and Tim.

11. sorry that anything positive written about obama bothers you. no wait, i'm not.

:eyes:

12. K&U

Kicked and unrecomended. Good news story that you don't like.

13. Obama is not DLC. Jacob Weisberg was not a fan of Pres. Obama last year. Quite the opposite.

His thoughts now are based on facts, unlike yours. :)
