No, you agree with Obama on everything, this is just me happening to agree with the Democratic Rep from Minnesota.

I didn't know that. He sounds like a pretty confused person in that case.

Fargo, you seem pretty vehemently against the health care legislation. Did you not expect this when you voted for Obama? Why did you vote for him?

I did not vote for Obama, not sure where Az got that. I did vote for Earl Pomeroy, the Rep from ND, who voted for this. Not happy about that, he never campaigned for health care.

Since health care is being taken over by the government will they all take big pay cuts. I also have a couple of friends who are doctors, 1 in Australia. He said the residents make more there than in USA but the doctors here make a lot more than those in Australia. He's moving back to the US to make more money when he's finished his residency.
Do your family members belong to a union?
The RN is. The x-ray tech, I don't know. As for us, my wife is a teacher and I was a teacher but semi-retired to be a stay at home dad.
Her union dues are $1,100 a year which are allowed to be a write off at tax time. Mine are $57.

Back to the actual title of the thread...

While I am embarrassed by the bloated entitlement wealth redistribution vehicle that the federal government has become, I am even more saddened and embarrassed by the electorate that allowed all this to happen. A friend of mine sent this along a couple of weeks ago and it is particularly appropriate the day after this debacle:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

We've elected presidents as liberal as Obama. Not sure exactly what separates him from every other president that's come a long. Oh yeah, he's black.... "a man like him" :ohno:

Don't go there with me.

I took it as meaning "the prince of fools," or a pied piper for the uneducated, unmotivated lemmings dependent on the plunder of the achievers for their existance and esteem.

Bush did less in that department in 8 years than Obama's done in 14 months. He makes Bush look like an amateur in the "pitiful mismanagement" department.
