Wouldnt it be nice if Medicare covered EVERYBODY? Then we could take more entrepreneurial risks much earlier in life.

Single payer is not socialism either, in business it's called streamlining or vertical integration.

Obama walking down the marble steps going to the platform where he was to be sworn in. He looked regal, tough, invincible and so tall above the men surrounding him. The look on his face was determined and calm.


In the picture EarlG has here ...Obama has clenched fists...like a prize fighter. Determined to win his championship for America


He is so damn courageous...I am sure Seneca Falls, Selma and Stonewell...will be forever remembered since he said it in his speech.
America is so Damn lucky to have him as president

Earlier today I thought of Obama like the skinny tall, big brother who will be protecting his weaker brothers and sisters against the big fat republican bullies.

The song HE'S NOT HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER comes to my mind.

I will have his back, will you? I am hoping he uses every presidential power necessary to get things done. As for the obstructionists- they can eat his dust! After all you can't fix stupid
