7 VII 7 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 HA! Of course the guy that states it is a racial issue is the guy to first make it a racial issue... fucking ignorant bitch. Does not matter if it is your own home... you cant go yelling at the police and saying you will not give them identification. He should have been arrested and President O should keep his nose out of this and keep it in pushing a medical plan that no one wants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s70turbo1998 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Your white hat is showing. BO should not be commenting on police affairs. This was his buddy who probably acted like a "I'm an academic elitist, you're just a cop" douchebag. It's simple: comply with a police officer's requests. Other stuff http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8166311.stm Senate setback for health reform Passing a healthcare reform bill is a top priority for Mr Obama The US Senate says it will not be able to vote on a US healthcare reform bill by August, in a setback to President Barack Obama's proposed timetable. But Mr Obama said he still wanted to see the bill passed by year's end. He said his intention was not to add to the country's fiscal deficit of over $1 trillion, but to address it by tackling spiralling health costs. But Republicans and leading Democrats have objected to the rush, saying the bill will be taken up after the summer. "I think that it's better to have a product that is one that's based on quality and thoughtfulness rather than trying to jam something through," Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid told reporters. The BBC's Jane O'Brien in Washington says the setback is substantial but not terminal. 'Difficult issues' In a major televised news conference on Wednesday, the president stressed the importance of passing the bills by the end of the first week in August, so he would be in a position to sign a final, combined, bill in October. HEALTHCARE IN THE US 47 million uninsured, 25 million under-insured Healthcare costs represent 16% of GDP, almost twice OECD average Reform plans would require all Americans to get insurance Some propose public insurance option to compete with private insurers Q&A: US healthcare reform US readers' views on health reform On Thursday, Mr Obama conceded the bills would be delayed, but said he still wanted to see progress. "I want the bill to get out of the committees," he told a town hall meeting in Shaker Heights, Ohio. "I have no problem if people are really working through these difficult issues in making sure we get it right." The reform package is intended to reduce health costs, increase choice and widen coverage. President Obama declared he would not sign the bill if it added even a dime to the deficit over the next decade. He also said that two-thirds of the cost of reform could be met by reallocating money already in the system. The bill will now be taken up in September when Congress returns from its summer break. Critics will see this as a challenge to the president's authority and will question his ability to control members of his own party, our correspondent says. Long road Five congressional committees are currently working on healthcare bills. Although there is consensus on some aspects of reform, lawmakers are divided on whether to set up a public health insurance scheme for Americans without employer-sponsored coverage. There is also much disagreement about how to raise revenue to fund the proposed expansion of healthcare coverage. Some 47 million Americans do not currently have health insurance, and rising healthcare costs are a major contributing factor to America's spiralling budget deficit. One Senate committee has passed a bill, and three House of Representatives committees have published a joint proposal. Both of these bills would require all Americans to take out health insurance, and would provide subsidies to help make coverage affordable. They would also give Americans without employer-provided coverage the option to join a public insurance scheme. But the powerful Senate Finance Committee has yet to complete its version of the bill, amid calls from prominent moderate senators for a delay while a bipartisan compromise is reached. Some opinion polls show that barely half of Americans now approve of the way Mr Obama is handling healthcare reform. I challenge him to not "add a dime" to the already immense debt the way he is trying to rush this health care deform through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 It's good news in that it won't be voted on in August. They're trying to push this bill through fast so the press can't talk about it for long and make everyone hate it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wrote Senator Harry Reid and thanked him for saying that they needed to slow down and think this reform through in it's entirety. Not so sure why Obama feels the need to engage in a reform Blitzkrieg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops Racer Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 People who care about this country should not be encouraged to leave, but encouraged to stand up and fight for what right. The massive behemoth thats been created in DC is a formidable monster to kill. THe longer this stuff is allowed to lay around and stink up the place, the more chances the folks have of waking up and smelling the garbage, and doing something about it. HOuse killed amendment that would require proof of citizenship to receive health bennie's from this massive program. Just more attempts to build voter base by enslaving folks with "entitlements". ~50 million uninsured, except for mediacre/medicaid, half of those refused coverage, 10 mill are illegals, many are bulletproof younger folks. So where are the masses of uninsured? My math says 5%. And I never heard of anyone being denied care at a hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 engage in a reform Blitzkrieg. the longer he waits the less chance it will get done. his approval is dropping a smidge and will probably continue to drop some. Now i'm very lucky with my health coverage. any and i mean any plan will be a step back from what i currently have. So from a selfish standpoint i'm totally against anything they could come up with. Now the bleeding heart guy i am, i think we need something for people that just can't afford it or aren't offered it from their job. if they would just do a flat tax or a sales tax there would be money for all these programs. if a national care program was offered. i know we would lose the program i currently have.

7 VII 7 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 why not just offer more affordable health-care to people that are un-insured? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
