Just read Obama has set up a meeting to be televised on Feb. 25 with Dems, Repubs, and Obama to work on healthcare bill. He wants the Republicans input into this bill, wants to hear their ideas. Second paragraph - No, he will not scrap the bill on the table. He wants them to give their ideas on how to make this bill work. He has instructed the Dems in the house and senate to come up with one bill before the televised meeting. Now, I ask you, is this really bipartisan? Are the Republicans really getting an opportunity to help write this bill? No, it's just another opportunity for Obama to make people believe that he is looking for bipartianship when really all he is doing is trying to make those pesky Republicans look as if they are against all his ideas. Why would they want a bill that is going to cost this country so much to go into law? If Brown had not been elected, this meeting would never have taken place. No matter what they suggest, no matter what their input, it will not matter. This is just another sorry piece of crap by this administration.

mel--you proved nothing-just your usual rantings which may account for your being tired and bored. cheat notes in the hand prevents her head from bobbing left to right reading from a telepromptor.

mel-my comments are all true--(with exception of a few opionions like being bored seeing his face 400 times+ on tv for a year). you have no proof of inaccuracies or you'd go after them. it's just in your nature.

I did not vote for this President, but the independent candidates I vote for never stand a chance anyway. It's called a protest vote, and earns me the right to dissent and call things like I see them But I just cannot get on board with this crowd that is so vitriolic against this Administration. There's nothing he could do that they would support, and that kind of knee jerk politics is not what makes for a good back and forth. In the exchange of ideas arena, I hear nothing from that crowd except venom, but nothing else. It just doesn't go any deeper than that. We saw how their side governs, let's give this team a chance to set this country back right.

mel-please disprove my inaccuracies.

ms darton--you left out a few things---he took over banks and businesses, bailed out fannie and freddie who started this mess in the first place, waffled forever before making a decision on aphganistan, bored us to death putting his face on tv over 400 times, has failed to make things transparant as he promised, has trippled the national debt, raised the nat debt ceiling, created a 2000+ healthcare bill largely behind closed doors, failed to listen to bi-partisan ideas, blamed everything on bush for a year, refuses to produce a legal birth certificate, continues to surround himself with socialists, hires over 30 czars most with questionable political ties, continues to give free money to those who have not earned taking it away from those who do, bribed lawmakers with sweetheart deals, signed over 2000 pork bill earmarks he promised he would not do, and most recently is not putting himself in front of the media/controls what questions they might ask. yep--a great first year!
