25. That's what I'm saying. Nothing is actually holding them back. They are sitting on their thumbs...
waiting to get paid.

If you honestly think a speech is going to do ANYTHING, you must be crazy.

26.  Do you realize how many people have died in 8 months because of our current system?
Roughly 15,000. Likely more.

Enjoy your snark. You mock and make excuses while people die.

It shouldn't take 8 fucking months to draft a proper bill.

29. It is not snark
It is living and understanding the real world. It would be sweet if the President could wave a magic wand and make shit happen but... that is not how it works. I got even worse news for you, once something gets passed and signed into law... it won't change a thing right away, it will still be a fair amount of time before it can go into effect. Systems do not change over night and time will be required to change them. People will die all during that time. Sucks. Go ahead and get pissed that President Obama is giving a speech laying out what he expects to come onto his desk to sign into law and blame him for it not being done yet... makes lots of sense :eyes:

32. You are arguing that it will take a long time to get a proper plan going...
That people will die.

So why don't we get our asses in gear in order to minimize the damage?

Are you honestly justifying the stalling by saying that it would take a long time anyway? How does that make any fucking sense at all? Seriously, please explain that to me.

I'm not just blaming Obama. I'm angry at all of congress and Obama. I'm angry at Obama for waiting so long to put the push on congress. And I'm angry at congress for needing this push in the first place. These aren't little kids that need baby sitting. They are our representatives. They are suppose to be working for the general welfare of the people.

41. Nonsense, that is not what I said at all
I was simply preparing you for more shit you can blame on him later.

Have you a clue how many people are debating this out? How many other things are also going on? You are going to be in for a serious shock when you get out of school and find out how the real world works. Go ahead and try getting two different groups that large to agree on anything.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that health care should be a no brainer but... with how badly this country has been fucked up over the last eight years, that it is even to this point after eight months is pretty damn impressive.

"I'm not just blaming Obama."

Yeah? Judging from the replies I was not the only one that thought you were blaming him for 15k deaths.

Edited on Wed Sep-09-09 09:17 PM by armyowalgreens
We control congress. We can pretty much do whatever the hell we want as long as the party agrees.

"Judging from the replies I was not the only one that thought you were blaming him for 15k deaths."


BloonBloo is a fucking asshole and does this shit all the time. So if you honestly want to team up with that person, be my guest.

34. No, really? I had no clue that congress constructed legislation.
You make it sound like Obama is powerless. He's the goddamn President of the United States. This is his first major speech, that I know of, to congress outlying what he wants. It's been 8 long months.

35. It's funny - the ihateobama crowd mocked Obana supporters, lying about...
how we thought of him as the "messiah".

And here those same ihateobama folks act as if he really IS omnipotent, and he's the only thing blocking (Insert Most Wonderful Thing In The World Here) for all Americans.

Projection: it's a good thing.

4. I live in an inner city with lots of black residents
I don't remember where / what speech it was (debate perhaps?) but I went outside for a minute and could hear dozens of tv sets tuned into Obama.
At one point (I think he was dissin the Iraq war) I yelled out "Obama! OOOObama!" and I heard a couple ethnic chuckles from the neighbors.

Good times.

I once felt that way about the big dog. I don't remember when the bid dog broke my heart, but I remember it was sad.

19. black people laughing at my Obama chant
Good hearted black men getting a kick out of their geeky hippy neighbor pouring his heart out for Obama.
I think it was back during the primary - everyone around here feared and supported Hillary.

21. A line-drive down the first base line...
...he thinks about stretching it into a triple, but there's already two outs, so he stays at second. Clean-up hitter needed here.


p.s. 'Ethnic Chuckles' would be a terrible name for a comedy club.
