all i know is, for my daughter to play the violin in school this year it will cost me 220.00 bucks (to the school distict), the naysayers dispute this with, "hey, tell your kid to get a paper route...it aint suppose to be that way, yes I agree work ethic should be instilled into children, but also opportunity should be available also. obviously, Romney is part of the problem and not the solution, he lives in a country that gives you the opportunity to clip the consumer (someones money) for 20 million, but, that comes with a price.
and here is the difference, I took employment with a company that has democratic values and beliefs, the very first day i was covered 100% on their healthcare plan, not *************** healthcare but excellent HC, needless to say my daughters eye exam and glasses cost me 24 bucks, without this coverage i would estimate this would have been 800.00 out of pocket with out it, that hits my bottom line at home....but, the CEO which he employs close to 500 people took the stage at a recent christening and maybe taboo, but relayed his polictical beliefs to the audiance, very far left, doesnt roll to work in a Mercedes, I listened to every word he said which including paying his and the company's share of taxes, in which it is his and the company's CIVIC duty to pay the taxes and his duty to take care of each and everyone of his employees....it caught me off gaurd and i really changed my thinking about a guy like that. I really dont see any of these qaulities in Romney, Guys like the CEO of the compnay i work for made this a great country, 114 years in business, thats what its about |

Sounds like you work for a great guy. Congratulations, they can be hard to find.
Easier to put a hard, honest days work in, knowing what you do about him. Contrast that with working for Romney. |

Seth, its funny cause a couple years back when they were slow there the GM was going to lay 3 guys off in the dead of winter, he called the GM and the 3 guys into his office, he took the pink slips and threw them at the GM and said you aint fcin laying anybody off, they are still employed to this day. And yes, Ive spoke to him once in 6 months, he is a leader in my eyes and it did change my thoughts, I'll give him a hard days work and take care of loose ends (pita's) u know what i mean...slackers
I dont think we will have to worry about Romney |

Don't think we have to worry about Romney winning, in a fair election. Can we move on to the real issues now? Obama's grades. |

I did not click the link. Romney with his selection now has a message and a messenger. Romney sure wasn't getting his message out. Ryan is no stranger to speeches, ( he was a speech writer ), nor talking to skeptical audiences. Obama, the dems, and conservatives got the race they were hoping for. I'm stocking up on the popcorn. Not really, since I have had the boat running, around 70 days ago, it's seen water exactly 61 days. I expect that trend to continue. |

I was looking for the Dem talking points, but I didn't want to pick on you.
1st go back and watch the link WW posted I admit I don't know much about the great lakes money, but it does fit with his unprecidented spending; and we know the national debt is approaching 16 trillion. We're still in Iraq, and the way he took credit for that is like big al inventing the internet. I'll let the unemployment issue alone; if you like it... |

Only a person who is very uninformed and has refused to objectively assess politics as a whole would ask this question about any sitting president. If you are unable to think of anything you need to become involved and read, not just blindly throw accusations. I don't need to waste my time trying to educate you on bills, health care, Social Security, Unemployment, taxes, foreign aid, education, ending unjustified wars and the like. Seek knowledge and you will find your answers. If your political knowledge is gained by posting to a boat site's political thread and accepting answers as fact, I can see why you can't think of 10 things, or probably any. If you come to this site seeking information about the proper cutlass bearing for your 57 Atom Skier, you have come to the right place. |

Easy...... Just one? osama bin laden. That is sure to rile you up a bit, I am sure as the right seem to think killing the terrorist was Bushs credit. Ensuring those with pre-existing conditions get healthcare coverage and routine preventative care is covered. simple really.. There are quite a few I could name, but I need you to remember Obama is not my darling of the left, as I have said many times here. He simply is better than the competition even if I think he does not go far enough to the left. |

"Easy...... Just one? osama bin laden." Killing Bin Laden did nothing to improve this country. It just ended the life of a human not well liked in America. And I beleive that it was the Navy Seals that completed this mission. Obama just gave an OK. "Ensuring those with pre-existing conditions get healthcare coverage" Medicaid has been doing this for many years. No hospital can turn a patient away unless stable. This includes illegals. Hospitals are used for check-ups as well. The only thing The Affordable Health Care Act was supposed to do was control the cost. Which has increased at a faster pace than before its passage. "and routine preventative care is covered." There have been free clinics in cities all over the USA for many years. Anyone can walk in and get a check-up at no cost. As I mentioned above, Hospitals are now being used for wellness care. There has been no "improvement" from the items that you have listed. I know some that have but like you guys thinking about and trying to list them. |

Do not get me wrong...
I believe that Obama will be re-elected. I believe that there are enough people on entitlements, plus hispanics (vote democratic), plus blacks (vote democratic) to keep a Democrat in office for many years to come. At least until they have to change entitlement spending or the country goes banckrupt. We should be able to hold out for my lifetime, about 20 more years. It has been said for many years that when the "Have Nots" can vote themselves a raise from the "Haves" that we are domed as a society. You just have to wait it out. I believe that we are at that point. Just an opinion..... So it really does not matter to me what Obama has done, good or bad... it will continue.... |

Wow, you really opened my eyes! Free health care, that's what I need. Can you tell me one place I can go to get it? Just one place in any state. If I had known that I would have an extra $2,600 in my pocket each month instead of sending it off to BCBS. Please tell me where, just one place, where I can get free medical care. |

Obama really helped me when he signed the bill that allows any Vet to sign up for VA services. You get a VA card and you can visit any VA to get services.
You pay based on your financial situation that is evaluated at the time of service. I have a listing of all VA hospitals that I take with me when we travel. This was one of the good things Obama did. IMO You see, I am one of the "Have Nots" I mentioned above. |

You are truly a fool. I called all that had 24 hour phones. The first two laughed when I asked if they provided free health care. They do however take major credit cards to pay for their services. Ronald McDonald's house is clearly not an option for me, I don't think the Hamburgler has a medical license. Paralyzed Veterans was not a good option since I am neither. Grace Lutheran Church couldn't help me, I am an ordained Minister myself anyway. Access Addison is not free. They will however take cash or credit card. Alma family Health requires cash or a major credit card. PCCillin North Avenue requires cash or a major credit card. Pads is a homeless shelter and only provides space on a gym or church floor on a night by night basis to homeless people and families during the winter months. My friend volunteers there. Melrose Park Medical takes cash or credit card. Serenity House, in Addison, where I was a Police Officer, is mostly government funded for released inmates with alcohol and drug problems. I know them well. They take cash or credit card as well. Like I said, show me just one. |

The problem is, fool, you are wrong. Your threats communicated over a public internet forum speed volumes about your reasoning. If you are interested in showing me a clinic that provides free services, please do. If in fact you are wrong and can't, be a man and admit it. Is this how you settle a discussion over health care? I now know where you are coming from, and know the mindset of some that stoke the fire of hatred. You are a truly hateful person. |

That is such a lame argument. 1. Are you then saying Obama had no real part? Sure, I like Northern Lights sativa/indica mix too, but it does cloud the judgement a bit I guess. It's pure couchlock for me usually. I'd leave the sativas for political conversations. 2.. Are you advocating those that pay for insurance should be allowed to be told, tough you had that before your current insurance, so we are not covering you, but we'll cover you for anything else? That is lame. Imagine if auto insurance said you had an accident in the past so we will not cover you for any in the future, but we'll cover you for anything other than an at fault accident? 3. Let me get this straight. I have insurance, and you are saying I should seek out free care for the things insurance decides to not cover, to prevent a major illness, or at least catch it before I am REALLY REALLY sick, given the premium cost. Premium cost is $500 a month, think the insurance should cover a simple test or medication? Nice argument, but that is a fail. Want some more things I think Obama got right so you can make horrible horrible comparisons, and highlight your. Whatever. I cannot believe you chose to pull apart my arguments in the way you did, and ..... Do you grow your own? Lights or outdoor? |

Solutions my friend.
There seems to be some misunderstanding of the ACA, or "Obama Care". You do understand it is not free care right. There is a tax, or penalty. But in this case it is a freeloader tax, and conservatives came up with the idea of an individual mandate. |

Maybe you will see it someday. Life is about far more than politics and hatred. I can enjoy the company of people who don't think or look like me. I respect others opinions, but I stop short of believing many of them. What is truly tearing this country apart is the hatred and threats like you communicated. Discussion, disagreement, and an occasional insult is acceptable behavior in society, threats of violence is not.. |

John, Obama did not promise YOU free health care, he promised the uninsured free health care, he promised you that you would have to share all the wonderful resources you have now on your bc/bs plan with them, so the uninsured get more and you get.... longer waits, and death panels.
There is plenty of free care out there, as a paramedic I saw it daily. You can call any ambulance and go to any ER and get the services rendered, they will attempt to get paid and have social service staff to help you find programs like SCHIPS or medicaid, if they are unsuccessful they write it off = free care. |

Seth, Obama's 2000= page 1 trillion dollar program still leaves 15 million uninsured. So if you count me that is at least 15 million and 1 that see Obama as a failure. The reason Obama wants to tax the freeloaders is that they don't use the services, he wants to spread the costs of the older citizens onto the young that only could get by far cheaper with catastrophic coverage. You also mentioned the per-existing coverage, this will allow people to take the government crap plan and then when they get cancer they can sign up for a good private plan, this will drive the private insurers prices up until Obama gets his dream of the government being the sole provider. Then what happens to me keeping my plan? We are all being suckered with a bait and switch. Well not me, but you are. |
