2. time is ticking...
1) Health Care

I'm not sure what the fix is... be it mandated insurance, single payer... but it's broken, it's crap.

2) Credit Card Reform

My mother who is now retired had her CC rates jacked up to 29.9% the first time she was late on a payment in 20 years...

pardon me please...

FUCK THEM!

3) Multiple WAR clusterfucks.

Iraq...

Afghanistan... (will turn into Vietnam if we let it)

4) Philosophy of Corporate Greed, this is the first POTUS EVER to have an opportunity to stick it to the bad guys... hope he does.

3. oh...

4. I was wrong, it was rude, it was not funny and he screwed up!!
But I love him and he is a great man and president. But it was worth covering. It was news. And I think a lot of ggod will come out of it.

5. True, but the only place I saw it was DU. I do not watch cable TV and most of
the blogs I read ignore it.

So, may be some people here could take a deep breath, stop defending Obama on something he does not need to be defended upon, and start caring about something else.

6. Yeah, I actually think I saw more "outrage" on here over the possibility that there might be
an "outrage" somewhere else, so I'm really not sure this is the big deal it's being perceived as on here.

(Then again, I haven't turned on the TV today, either...)

7. There's no hysteria if we turn it off, the physically challenged will know their future >

is now far brighter under this President. It's all distraction from just how well that interview went and more folks will watch it as a consequence it's a lose, lose for his detractors. They're screaming louder cos he's winning and winning big.
