yes the economy was'nt anywhere near what it should have been, but Obammy wanted this job and said "there is Change" in the air? what? from bad to worse???! This is nothing more than a typical Democratic response. Spend, spend, spend. Things will get better..! NOT>>! Yes George should've tried to do better, but he did'nt, so that was this schmucks cue to drive the economy farther down the tube, and now he wants to force the american people to take health care or else.! BUll..... [ More ]

This is nothing more than an attempt by the communists to bring this country done. Stop and think about it. If everyone lived off the government, why would anyone lift a finger to produce electricity, build a car, grow food, open a corner grocery, package corn flakes, or repair a road? That is what is going on in all those other socialist countries. No one is stupid enough to wake up at six each morning, drive to work, spend 9 hours doing a loathsome job, drive home, fix supper,...

What planet is she living on? Obama is mandating a concept which has not worked in countries which have collapsed due to it or are in the process of collapsing. That concept does not and never will serve the people it enslaves to support it.

This lady is really drinking the Kool-Aid. Obama has a intelligent, collaborative approach? I guess he collaborates with the people he hired around him, but he doesn't seem to collaborate with the American people, who overwhelmingly want to ditch the horrendous "health care" bill. And he doesn't collaborate with Republicans, who have called for REAL reform of health care that actually solves the root problems, rather than having government take over one-sixth of the economy. Americans reject Socialism.... [ More ]

Letter: Let Obama do the job we elected him to do

To the editor:

Columnist Thomas Friedman wrote earlier this year that we wouldn't need any financial stimulus if the American people had confidence in Washington. I have to agree.

President Obama has allowed me to survive almost two years of unemployment. I, like millions of others, happened to be working in an industry home renovations that vanished when the economy crashed.

I think Obama is a man with more intelligence, integrity and strength than we've seen in decades. Our representatives need to exhibit the same integrity, strength and intelligence, and give him a chance. If they don't go beyond their individual needs to address the needs of our country, we won't have an environment to leave our children, an educational system, health care or a financial system.

Forget leaving a deficit for them. The deficit is critical to our financial stability; but saying no to everything paralyzes us and we're losing credibility as a nation. As Obama pointed out, he inherited the bulk of that deficit, anyway! How do Republicans have the nerve to act as if he created it?

I'm actually more afraid of our politicians than I am terrorists. If that's the Republican strategy, which it appears to be, there are millions of people whose lives are being destroyed by it, and that role model for our children will do more damage than any deficit ever will.

Obama is attempting to bring an intelligent, collaborative approach to a shark tank. Competition and self-interest are valued in the current political arena, and collaboration, kindness and working for the general good are considered signs of weakness.

The president's not playing a game to win, he's trying to tap the brain trust we've sent to Washington and get something done. I hope they can start providing some intelligent alternatives, and let him do it.
