I want President Obama to send the troops over there, so that I may be able to serve the United States. Lets get this done and over with..  View

One sentence: "BETTER than the fricking idiot who was president before him!" P.  View

I think we all have a very romanticized perception of Obama - and sure, cos he did promise a lot. He evoked a lot of emotions through his speeches, plus the fact that he's the first black president made us all think he's superman. But are we kidding ourselves? He's human and only one year has passed. Cut the man some slack. I'm sure he's working hard to try and solve issues. You don't see him hitting golf balls all the time like Mr Bush during his presidency.  View

It is so hard for people to simply trust the person they elected to office. While I do think that every president should be watched with an especially overly-analytical eye, we have to give them some space and TIME to attempt the changes they promised.  View

It seems like a national politician cannot do well anymore. People are looking for a reason not to like them and if they disagree on just 1 of a president's 20 platform positions, they don't approve. You simply cannot agree with everything. Our country will continue to go back and forth, always unhappy with the current party. This, coming from a McCain voter.  View

To Susan Thank you so much for "informing" me on what you think is true and right. I am not a liberal, I am neither a conservative or a liberal, but listen to all sides and make my decisions. But Glen distorts the truth. Anyone who can stand by Cheney after he lied over and over again on MANY things and then when questioned about things claims he can't remember 71 times he is either dumber than dirt, a liar, or suffering from dementia and thank the Lord he is not holding the office of VP any longer where he could have been made commander in chief if somthing would have happened to the President. All sides should be discussed on matters but to lie to get people on your side is criminal. To scare older Americans about "death panels" and not being given care they need because they are too old is a total lie and he should be ashamed of himself for saying it. Just give us the TRUE FACTS and let the people decide for themselves about what needs to be done on health care in America as wll as other matters facing us at this time. Our system needs to be overhauled. The insurance companies are robbing us blind and health care is second best, not to mention the drug companies making drugs so expensive many people can't afford them. So thank you Susan for your concern. I have listend to Glen and the other hate mongers (who despise Democrats) and then researched and found the things they said are distortions and sometimes bordering on lies. Maybe YOU could spend sometime listening to the ALL sides and make informed decisions. Don't bother to reply I will not be on this site again. Can't change your thinking even if I think it is bogus. HAVE A NICE DAY.  View

First of all, thank you Stephen Bell. Second of all, rio2016, the definition of RACISM is being discriminative of RACES, not of people's sense of humor. I can't be racist toward people that laugh at others. Please learn the definition of RACISM before you start blindly accusing people of it. Third, we are not a third world country! We are not becoming one either; we are simply going through hard economic times (which by the way, our president is helping make better). It seems to me that you love third world countries because you keep mentioning them so maybe... instead of illegals going back, YOU should go to a third world country! YAY... problem solved!! Write to me how it goes over there... If you've learned how to properly write yet.  View

All I can say to those who have a problem with donors gaining access to politicians is: "work to get monied interests out of politics.". Anyone who gives money to a cause, be it political or charitable, expects a return on their investment. I strongly disagree with the practice of money for influence, but until the people rise and say "no more" nothing will change. I do not begrudge the President working within the limits set forth by law and by tradition, though I would wish he didn't. Also, any republican who whines about this issue is naked and throwing stones from their glass house, since GWB did more influence peddling than any president before him(I.e.- Halliburton, Enron, Worldcom, United Defense.). Need I say more?  View

If you think that the president has done something wrong, then I ask you to look into every elected official. For years elections have been run on an individuals promise to be honest. If you look at any elected politians record you will find they have become corrupt. America wake up and realize that every elected official makes promises that are broken. But we still have to believe in our country and our right to change ones mind.  View
