    Teacher---YOU read The Road to Serfdom (Hayek) and other such works, and you will be on your way to being qualified to offer lectures and to require that 10-page papers be submitted to you. Your students will hopefully have had a regimen of Comparative Studies then, where they have been exposed to the lie of Collectivism, which, I fear, they know nothing of at present.

    RHG---Glass-Siegal was repealed on Clinton's watch. Progressives' pressure on banks resulted in a tsunami of worthless loans that the investment banks merchandised to beat hell. The resulting RE boom and consequent purchasing power resulted in a party that WE WERE ALL AT. The real lproblems facing this country were just all hid by the smokescreen. To say these problems didn't exist before Bush is just childish.

    Is Obama Keeping His Promises?

    I believe our greatest asset as a nation is to pray for those in authority. I beleive the President is doing the best he can. Whether that is the best to be done is another question. But if the heart of the king is in the hands of the Lord we have a responsiblilty to Pray for Wisdon Knowledge and Revelation so God can direct his path. The Spite between liberals and conservatives alike is simply ridiculous every one enjoys pointing the finger it seems. We are dealing with people, individuals, GOds Children and somewhow I believe we have lost site of that. I ask that everyone seriously examine themselves and do everything within there scope of influence to make this Country and their Community a safehaven of hope and prosperity. Never neglect the facts but strive to make the truth prevelant and evident in this country. Lets do our part and this country will indeed be restored!!!!! The Truth of God's Word through Christ will set this country Free, Again!!!!! To all God Bless!!!

    Obama can handle his Presidency, if only the rest of the world and his nation will step aside and get out of his way and let him work on what he needs to work on. I do know this. I do pray above all else that he stays safe.

    I meant a history lesson on the fundamentals our founding fathers started this nation on, AKA READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE CONSTITUTION. I didn't mean a history lesson on what your ancestors did to native settlers. Stop flapping your lips on separate issues that have nothing to do with the issue being discussed then we can talk.

    I was talking about a history lesson on the fundamentals of our government aka read the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, I am not asking you to learn about what your own ancestors did to the Native Americans. Educate yourself on the topic being discussed then maybe I'll stop flapping my lips, but until then I will keep saying as I please.

    Socialism this. Capitalism that. Republican this. Democratic that. NO ONE WILL FIX ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY UNTIL WE STOP PUTTING LABELS ON OURSELVES AND FINALLY WORK TOGETHER ON SOMETHING! What don't you people understand about that? It is not about left-wing or right-wing, it's not about what has happened in the past.. It's about what is happening right this minute. We are in a rutt people, in a deep dark hole. No one is going to fix anything if you just keep name calling and trying to put each other down. I wish for once someone would just say, &quot;Hey, I accepted you have different beliefs. Maybe we can meet in the middle and compromise!&quot; Instead eveyrone has to fight and run around like chickens with their heads cut off and hurl names. It's so distasteful and immature. It's time Americans grow up. We are spoon fed, we have it better than some countries. We should all just stop complaining and start getting real. Nothings going to get better with us just sitting online hurling insults at each other. Email representative, go to rallies, vote, do things to help instead of sitting on Newsweek trying to argue your opinion like it's going to make a difference. I highly doubt Obama is on here reading your comments and actually caring what your opinion is.

    Is Obama Keeping His Promises?

    No one is in his way, he is the gosh darn president. If he wants to do something, he can.. so why isn't he? That's the real questions. I like how on here it said &quot;In progress&quot; for almost every single thing that he had promised the American people, when really, half of that crap is no where near started including the healthcare issue. I think we have bigger fish to fry like the god dang war overseas that's about to just wipe out our entire population because we're pissing off neighboring countries. Why are we in 119 countries as of this day, why are we world police? If Obama wants this country to LAST through his presidency he should probably start worrying about bigger issues.

    Is Obama Keeping His Promises?

    If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a
    teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press
    conference, would you have said this is more proof of how he inept he is
    on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?


    If George W. Bush had spent a million dollars to take Laura Bush to a
    play in NYC, would you have approved?


    If George W.. Bush had reduced your retirement
    plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions
    a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?


    If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense
    of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?


    If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set
    of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs,
    when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful
    and historically significant gift, would you have approved?


    If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an
    iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have
    thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?


    If George W.. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi
    Arabia , would you have approved?


    If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made
    reference to the non-existent &quot;Austrian language,&quot; would you
    have brushed it off as a minor slip?


    If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle
    of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in
    their income taxes, would you have approved?


    If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to
    refer to &quot;Cinco de Cuatro&quot; in front of the Mexican ambassador when it
    was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he
    tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?


    If George W. Bush had miss-spelled the word &quot;advice&quot;
    would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and
    &quot;potatoe&quot; as proof of what a dunce he is?


    If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel
    to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded
    he's a hypocrite?


    If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air
    Force One flying low over millions of people followed
    by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing
    widespread panic, would you have wondered whether
    they actually get what happened on 9-11?


    If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO
    of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority
    to do so, would you have approved?


    If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt,
    which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year,
    would you have approved?


    If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt
    again within 10 years, would you have approved?



    So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes
    him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything?

    Is Obama Keeping His Promises?

    Obama, has, to date, said neither &quot;I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened in this Oval Office&quot; nor &quot;I did not sell my soul.&quot;

    I don't care what George W. Bush did, I will have my doubts about any kind of fitness he ever purportedly possessed to govern as long as those two statements remained unexplained. I really, really doubt Gordon gave much of a *** about the DVDs as long as Obama is trying to help him rebuild Britain's broken economy.

    Is Obama Keeping His Promises?

    &quot;If he wants to do something, he can.. so why isn't he?&quot;

    If you really believe American Presidential power is this unlimited, no wonder the GOP is in trouble. No, the President does not have unlimited power. It would help if you learned that. It would have helped us all if Bush had, certainly.

    Is Obama Keeping His Promises?

    Why don't you try taking an active hand in that yourself instead of crying because the GOP lost the election?

    Either that, or PLEASE take it all highly personally and continue to complain and make us all very tired...

    Is Obama Keeping His Promises?

    I think Obama IS trying to bring us together. I think ignorant hecklers like you stand in the way of that process...
