I am tired of hearing the MSM saying "Obama took on too much at one time."

Like he was left with a choice. The GOP's lies and Bush regime's crimes put my country into the toilet simply for greed and ego/power lust. They are no different today, maybe even worse. The TARP bill went through DURING THE ELECTION - Bush's thugs planned and delivered the payoff to their backers in finance. The "stimulus" bill was necessary because Bush fucked the nation into a depression and it appears to be WORKING - at least things are stabilizing. Health care reform is VITAL to the health of the country and the economy as well.

The last time I heard this shit, this morning on MSNBC News, I turned them off. I have NO news programming to watch on the weekends now - they are all full of themselves and have nothing real to tell me.
I'm watching old Rock bands on VH1 instead - more educational.

Uggghhh.

Well, now we have the Pundits and news people saying Obama is doing too much while a lot of the Democrats are bitching at him for not doing enough.

Lovely.

2010.

Choice Reform to help the economy get back on track and above all help the People with their health care problems.

it like it must be true because he is saying it. This is the new CW, I'm sure.

Someone else posted that on CNN they were saying why couldn't Obama have done this in a bipartisan manner, instead he is dividing the country.

The Stupid - it burns...

I remember how Obama was doing it all wrong when he ran for President also. All the "experts" told us so. I worry about the Democrats in Congress buying this crap more then Obama. Not the Progressives, the Blue Dogs and mushy middle.

such a mediawhore choke on the airwaves.

But, the facts and the truth will out..there's more than one way to climb the mountain and claim victory.

LIST NAMES HERE

So why should he give a sh*t?

I'm so sick of these pompous asses saying he should have delayed health care reform while every one of them is fully insured.

There is an urgent need right now. The numbers of people dying from lack of affordable health care options far far surpassed the total number of Americans killed by terrorists ever. So why wasn't Charlie out there saying that Bush should have delayed his war on terrorism so he didn't have to take too much on in his 1st year.

It is just should a stupid thing to say. If the Democrats knew anything about framing an issue, no one would ever make this asinine statement.




Edits for typos.

Option is just a part of the plan. He recognizes the importance of getting health care to the uninsured, getting rid of the pre-existing conditions exclusions, getting rid of the caps on total expenditures. Sometimes people don't act like those are critically important reforms that need to be made NOW but they are literally killing people every day - which is also a reason to be pissed at Carville's "let them filibuster and run on it next time" which is idiotic for an entire host of reasons but one of which is you are screwing over the people that need help now. Yes, they may not be in lines at the town halls screaming at their Congressperson but we certainly saw them in lines to get free health care out in LA a week or so ago.

"Well, okay, Barack, here's a humungous deficit I ran up--and oh yeah, I didn't even include the costs of the wars!--plus we are lower than shit in the eyes of the world. Uh, you have six months to one-eighty this. Okay! Back to the Lone Star State for me!"

I cancelled the corporatemediaWhores in Nov 2002 but know they're piling shit upon shit via reports on DU.

We have a lot of incredibly pressing problems. Like you said, he doesn't have a choice. I used to think there was some hope for the MSM, but I'm done with them now.

of history's worst depression, they wouild be kissing the GOP's elephant ass and blaming the "libruls".

I'm old, but I am learning from younger people here and starting to get my news from the internet rather than TV.

Whenever you take on a big issue you risk an awful lot...but better to risk then do nothing at all.

Every single RW nutjob in the country about whether or not they liked his version. And then he seemed to not so much defend his version of the HC "reform" but to back down.

Maybe when you are a quarterback on a winning team, and they hand you the ball, and you only have five yards to go, you should just run with the damn ball instead of stopping to kindly considerately ask the other side what they want done with the ball?!?

He came in with 62% of the vote. (They LOST!) Seventy six per cent of all Americans know we need Universal Single Payer HC. And over 18,000 people a year die from not having insurance.

It is an EMERGENCY! And why he can't line up these simple talking points, I have no clue, except for the crumbs of caviar canapes leading from Rahm's office in the WH back to the insurance headquarters.

know are lies, and then add to them. We used to have pretty good news programs but I really can find none of them actually reporting news rather than making assinine comments.

and that's all it is - crap. when a lot of things need to be done at the same time, smart people do it; and get it done.
