Obama Rallies the Troops and Money With DeMint’s “Waterloo”

But this debate puts the question to many of we Americans in the ditches, what is the alternative? More lives ruined and medical bankruptcies? Many say no.
DeMint is not only an abstructionist, he’s a narrow-minded relic, from at best, a relegated past.

I know Americans are better than this – are we not our brother’s keeper? If not, then I think many Americans are better off in Sweden or Norway.

Just a thought…

How wonderful that there are still some democrats left with some common sense that will not allow this healthcare mess to pass! The healthcare pitch Obama gave last night was like a bad used car salesman. All fluff, no real details. I should give him credit though, it IS hard to pitch something you haven't even seen or read yet with such passion. Sounded almost like the stimulus pitch only with a few sad stories intertwined. We can all see how much the stimulus cost and how well it has not worked.

I think finally Americans are looking past the glimmer of Obama and actually hearing the empty words of a candidate and not actually a leader. I guess socialism will have to wait for America and I must say I am glad. You can only fool 1/2 of America for a period of time then even they say the honeymoon is over.

Republicans want health care reform to fail.
Republicans want the economic recovery plan to fail.
Republicans want America to be attacked so that they can blame Obama.
Republicans don't want a Hispanic women on the Supreme Court
Why do Republicans hate America?????

Demint is Wrong.
The president's pathetic response to
the economic crisis, the failed
Stimulus Bill, will be his Waterloo!

Pelosi said today that there are enough votes in Congress to pass this health care plan. So why is President Obama going on national television to make a case for its passage? Perhaps Pelosi and Obama haven't spoken yet today? I think they need to get on the same page or people may begin to wonder if the Democrats are disorganized and incompetent.

Demint was wrong!
Obama's pathetic response to the
economic crisis, the failed Stimulus
Bill will be his waterloo and no
political spin from the Dems and their
Media Buddies will save him from that!

Don't take your eye off the issue. The issue is the well being of America and the House bill will kill us.

Disparate treatment of businesses under Healthcare Reform Act

The bills under consideration result in disastrous disparate treatment of businesses and small business owners.

The legislation under consideration mandates businesses with a payroll of $400,000 or more to pay insurance premiums for employees. The size of a company’s payroll is not an indicator of whether the company makes money or the size of its profit margin. Remember, regardless of the size of a company’s payroll some barely break even, some make a modest profit.

Furthermore, businesses that are labor intensive, typically in service industries, that is with more employees rather than fewer, will be decimated by this legislation. Let me provide an example. Assume you have a company, like mine, with 150 employees all who make between $8 and $10 per hour, that generates about $150,000 in profit, and you have a company of 20 employees that generates $150,000 in profit.

The result of the healthcare legislation is that a company like mine will be mandated to pay $360,000 ($200 per month per employee for insurance premiums) per year in insurance premiums. Thus putting me and others like me into bankruptcy immediately. The company with 20 employees will pay $48,000 per year. They might survive.

The clear point is that the proposed healthcare legislation is worded so that small businesses with many employees will be crushed. That will be disastrous to our country and I can’t imagine this is what is intended.

Pay for any plan with national sales tax. That way, everybody contributes.

Do you have a job????? Hopefully your boss is rich and can afford to give you a JOB.But keep it up bashing one segment of americans who work hard and save so they can be rich too. Think first before you type, Pres. Obama has increased our natl. debt by more then ALL former Pres. combined and has NOTHING to show for it.

Forgive me if I think you're a little biased tjp.

I will take the information from the real estate industry over your subjective assessment any day.

"You antiObama types on here are hilarious. Post one story about how real estate brokers say the Recovery and Reinvestment plan has the home market picking up in Georgia and you leap out of your own rear ends and trip over your own feet trying to prove those real estate brokers wrong.

Try researching why that market has picked up in Georgia. It's something that is in the Recovery and Reinvestment plan - take a look for it and report back."

Danita - I am a homeowner in Georgia. Trust me, it's not happening here. There is a glut of residential inventory and prices are - with exception of a few specific areas - not rising. Foreclosures are increasing.

Great time to buy a home though.

BTW - I have seen zero effect of ARRA aka "stimulus" in GA (I'm sure there are some "investments" that have been made in GA, but not seeing it). Unemployment here is above 10%.

But keep defending The One by all means...it's entertaining.

The title of the story should read, "Obama plays the victim, Again !!!" All I hear out of this President is rhetoric. He dodges direct questions. No one is given time to read and discuss the legislation. The Democratic party and Obama have lied to the American people about what is written in the legislation. Enough.....IMPEACH OBAMA!!!! The American people are not children, and deserve honesty from their public officials.

The next sound you hear Barry is the sound of the rats jumping ship.
Your ship is sinking, bub!!

impeach obama

===That Waterloo comment rallied me.===

Rallied me too. Made a few donations myself. Not to the president, though.

There are many programs out there for people to re-educate and re-train themselves for jobs of the future. It is time we spent our efforts in learning what they are and how to get them.

Yes, lets all go to school and get training for jobs that may or may not be here in industries that we don't know will exisit in two years. Sounds great. Where do I sign up

Excuse me America but we have become a nation of "instant gratification." That is how we got here in the first place. Everyone wanted things they could not afford. This economy did not go down the tubes in six months but in the last several years. It will not rebound in 6 months or maybe even two years but it is on the road to recovery. Slow but improving. The jobs will be the last to recover, infortunately, because many will never come back. There are many programs out there for people to re-educate and re-train themselves for jobs of the future. It is time we spent our efforts in learning what they are and how to get them. This is what the stimulus is providing us with and many other programs which will help us become self sufficient. In my state, new housing us up 9% in the last two months and we just received our stimulus money. Housing sales of homes already built are up 6%. There are signs but we will not be back to where we should be for a long time and people need to understand this. Anyone who has been through a recession knows this but to expect everything to turn around in 6 months is foolish. Of course, you can listen to the naysayers, there are many out there but I think you should listen to the people who know what they are talking about not the ones who want our president to fail That to me is not very American. We are in this together, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents and we need to realize that we need to pull together not apart.

That Waterloo comment rallied me. Made a round of donations last night to support this President.

Who is Obama fighting against? Obama and ther Dems control both houses and can pass whatever bill they want.
