Where is Obama's ...passion?

[indimuse]

Did Obama have a Health Care plan before deciding to run for POTUS? Or did he HAVE to come up with it as a part of the run?

What is Obama's Magnum opus? Where is his brainchild? What has he developed ..put his ass on the line for.....?

Does anybody know?

[Lautremont]

1. Yeah! Let's not vote for him!

[Happyhippychick]

2. Well to be fair...I don't have a Health Care plan yet but when I run I plan to make one.

But to answer your question - I believe his passion is his family.

21. "His passion is his family"????

3. I haven't got a healthplan either?

Hillary had a failed healthplan.

[indimuse]

5. ever hear of the Wright brothers...OR

Edison? Bell...does that ring a bell?

[FrenchieCat]

4. Obama' s passion is open government, social justice, equality for all

under the law, and the obeying of the constitution of the United States of America.

Check out his life story to understand this.

Health care is a subset of Social Justice.

[indimuse]

10. Obama needs to start with HIMSELF..

when it comes to openness...still a lot of unanswered business..

[FrenchieCat]

17. Like what.....?

He wrote two books about himself.

Maybe you should ask Hillary to turn over those tax returns....then maybe you can use caps. :eyes:

Here's the website made possible from Obama's actions in the Senate in passing his Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (S. 2590)-

9. the reform of police interrogations for death penalty cases

probably his most well-known effort. Here's a couple of good articles on it.

15. His book, "The Audacity of Hope," is probably a good place to start your search.

Good luck, Grasshopper.

[backscatter712]

18. ++ on his book.

He details his view on health care, NAFTA, Iraq, etc. in this book, which was written long before he announced his run.

16. Where's HRC's..

.... judgment? Does she really think perpetual war is a good idea?

[indimuse]

HE KNEW! HE KNEW when voting to increase war spending..extending the war,how bad it was already...HE KNEW what that YES vote meant!

He could have come to the US Senate as promised(((HIS WORD.. while running for that seat!!)))and taken a STAND against staying any longer...FLOOR SPEECH.((((WORDS)))) words HE DID NOT SPEAK.. Written legislation...(((WORDS))) WORDS HE DID NOT WRITE!!..against the war..nor to STOP funding it..etc..He did not use his (((WORDS)) to inspire CHANGE or make an independent CHOICE when HE had the opportunity!! (He could have..THEN I would respect what he was touting...very misleading and THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME Obama's (((WORD))) has come under question. He chose to FUND it...He didn't have to..and should not be considered anything more than Hillary regarding the IW.


edit ..changed a (((WORD)))

[sendero]

23. Practically nobody..

.... voted to cut funding. So what is your point?

HRC has made it clear that she doesn't think ending the war is a priority or feasible. Obama has done better, not as good as I'd like, but better.

Do I think he'll end the war in a month, no I don't. But to hear HRC talk about it, it could go on for a decade. Obama can beat that.

[indimuse]

26. he has run a campaign across this

nation...touting that HE did not vote for the war..he gave speeches before he arrived to the US senate..condemning those who would fund it further...but as soon a s he became US Senator...he voted for EVERY single sup...et'al.And for those who don't really pay attention to detail and ...those one issue voters...they may have chosen differently had the truth been part of Obama's claim. perception...

[sandnsea]

20. Yeah, he passed health care in Illinois

He introduced and passed more on health care than anything else.

[indimuse]

22. do you know where I could find out which

ones passed?

[sandnsea]

25. Yeah. Google. n/t

[madrchsod]

28. he was a leader in passing this program in illinois

http://www.allkidscovered.com/
State of Illinois All Kids - Welcome

he was also involved and promoted the universal healthcare plan in illinois. the final report on the program was just released last year. it`s dead on arrival because the state of illinois is broke

29. His passion is his biography.

"His platform is his biography." --Bill Moyers

[scheming daemons]

32. OPEN GOV'T

The most important thing.


Hillary's closed-door deliberating in '94 on Health Care was WRONG.

Dick Cheney's closed-door deliberating in '01 on Energy was WRONG.



OPEN THE DOORS, let America see how these plans are being done and who has the influence.



If Obama does nothing else except OPEN UP THE FRIGGIN' GOV'T, his presidency will be a rousing success.

[thevoiceofreason]

33. Social justice. Ethics. Did I say ethics? Oh yeah, ethics.

Cluster bomb bans. World-wide nuclear non-proliferation.

Did I say ethics?

A foreign policy based upon negotiations from a position of strength instead of bluff, bluster and fear.

I need to catch my breath.

[Gloria]

34. I'm wondering if he's the Manchurian Candidate...

[scheming daemons]

35. Psst... "Manchurian Candidate" is a work of fiction....

A) This is the same criticism of Clinton in 1992 (he visited Russia during his college years!)

B) This is the same criticism the right levelled against McCain in 2000 (he was brainwashed while in captivity!)



Relax, Gloria. There's no such thing as "the Manchurian Candidate" anymore than the Terminator, Mickey Mouse, or Robinhood.

36. How much of Obama is fiction??

37. Here's a little sample of Obama's passion
