Since everyone is sharing opinions, I'm quoting this statement as being in the top five of stupidest statements that I have ever read on this forum. I never thought I would write anything of a political nature on this forum, but since it's been brought up...I'm not at all saying that my vote will go to Obama, however, the way that see it is he has brought our men and women back from Iraq and has begun the process in Afghanistan. He has helped introduce a better type of health care for those that need the benefit of having to have insurance. My daughter received a triple organ transplant when she was 4 years old. My insurance didn't cover the cost because she had met a lifetime-maximum already, two years previous to her transplant. If it were not for any social programs whatsoever, she wouldn't have received the transplant probably. She has insurance now because the healthcare bill took away preexisting conditions and lifetime maximums. And yes, she'll be on medications for the rest of her life, of which I could never afford out of my pocket every month. Is the bill perfect? By no means, but it's a good start. It's great that people believe that they can make it "by themselves" in this world and not "be given anything.". However, I can just about be for certain that most have not been faced with a circumstance of being in dire need, having to humiliate themselves to ask for help. Another thing that Obama has tried to do is introduce legislation for change and has been blocked by republicans more often than not, and they bitch and whine saying Obama isn't doing anything to change America. Next, he helped save what is left of the auto industry in America. If you don't agree, so be it. I don't like how it took place and some of the bs inside of the whole thing; however, GM and Chrysler are still alive and employ loads of people making a fair wage. Lastly, the economy, as far as market numbers and employment goes, is way up from when douchebag Bush Jr. left the mound of shit he created. If you enjoyed the wonderful opportunities that Jr. gave you with the nepotistic failure of what he called a domestic policy, you'll most certainly love lining the pockets of the Republican elitist when you vote for the man who won't provide his income tax return to the public.
