Another example of why the Grand Old Party of Rush is out of step with Americans. They are so caught up in their distorted free-market indoctrination that they have been rendered incapable of generating pragmatic policies.

Zaf .. .yes, that is new data since I posted it ... hence, Obama has SUNK another 2 points in the polls. But like I said, Rasmussen is the only one worth looking at. ABC, CNN, Gallop, all liberal bastions ... are all in the tank for Obama. Scott is the only objective pollster. .... and Obama is slowly sinking .... now at 58% |

And how did the American people react to the proposed budget? Initial Reaction to Obama Budget Tilts Positive PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans' first reactions to President Barack Obama's new 10-year budget plan are more positive than negative, although a sizable group of Americans say they haven't been following news about the plan and have not yet formed an opinion. The weekend Gallup Poll finds 44% of Americans saying their reaction to the new plan is positive and 26% saying it's negative, with the rest having no opinion. http://www.gallup.com/poll/116242/Initial-Reaction-Obama-Budget-Tilts-Positive.aspx
Poor Republicans - they are just so out of touch! Looks like they'll remain a regional party for the forseeable future. All they are left with are out-dated ideas which went out of style with Reagan and all their online porn! Boo hoo hoo.

If you think Obama's proposed socialised medicine I would recommend some therapy to divest you of the delusion that we're still in 1994. If you're going to criticise the policies, at least try to understand what they are first instead of pretending like you're dealing with Carter or Clinton. The GOP and their ideology are trapped in the 20th century, which is why Obama kicked your asses and why he continues to connect with moderate, independent voters. You know, moderates and independents...the people who are fleeing the GOP in droves until all that's left is a room full of ditto-heads demanding members of Congress apologise to the Comedien-in-Chief of the GOP.

You're applauding 44%? So not everyone that voted for him is jazzed about this plan? Wall Street certainly isnt. So after more of the 44% see there life savings melt away.....keep you hat on.

Obama and his supporters may be unimpressed by the reaction of the stock market but the union members who voted for him will get a wake up call when they realize that their retirement plans are tied to the market, not Obama's 'hope'. American retirement accounts are shrinking rapidly. And they have yet to feel the impact of 'cap and trade'. |

Oh .. I don't THINK that Obama is pushing socialized medicine .. I KNOW he is. Just because you don't recognize incrementalism when you see it .. well that is your problem not mine. We will be going to Universal Healthcare ... managed are style ... aka Socialized Medicine. Speaking of those independents ... bet they aren't so happy now! I know of two moderates Brooks and Buckley, who are having misgivings about voting for Obama .. in fact, they flat out said they made a MISTAKE! He's NOT what they thought he was. So .. got to think .. hom many more "independents and moderates" are feeling the same way? I'd bet a bunch, especially since most of them tend to fiscally conservative kinda folk. |

WHY are Americans so set against socialised medicine? What is the big deal? You've already got Medicare and Medicaid, don't you? In case you didn't know it, those are socialised medicine! And, managed properly (which did not happen during the disastrous Bush years), these programmes work very well. You don't believe it? Ask somebody who lives in Finland or Sweden or even the UK, or any Commonwealth country. Believe me, having free hospitals is a mighty good thing! And having subsidised prescriptions is very nice, too. Those are just two of the benefits of such a system; there are dozens more available to various groups that need them. If President Obama is thinking of trying to introduce some sort of socialised medical plan for Americans, good for him! I hope he succeeds. |
