It is clear the right wing hates Obama's guts. They have accused him of being a socialist,Islamic and of not being born here. They have fought him at every turn even if they agreed with him. What they have not done is come up with any new ideas. They have not come up with any clear options just the fact they hate him so much. It is going to take more that that my right wing friends. Where are the fresh right wing ideas like the contract with America or Reagans big tent? Without that your party is doomed. The fact that the GOP has let the wing nuts,kook's and far right wing nimrods take over the party does not help either. A party of 50 year old men and Jesus freak females is doomed to fail until somethig changes.
Let me tell you, the Left isn't too enamoured of him these days either. He's burned his bridge at both ends. He's even making George W. appear less autocratic, and less a prisoner of the secret state. From where I sit, he looks a lot like Nixon.It is clear the right wing hates Obama's guts.
IMV, bills promoting energy independence already sent to the Senate are a viable alternative to the green gambles that have failed...
I agree with you on those but as far as the ACA they have come up with nothing other that attacking trial lawers. I am liberal as you know but energy policy is not our strong point for sure. I suport the Keystone pipeline and natural gas. I do think we should invest in green energy also. The fact remains the GOP is more interested in distroying Obama that helping the country.
When Paul Ryan presented a budget plan President Obama set him up for a public chastising. This narcissist can't be disagreed with and he is the worst leader in my lifetime. The only reason he was elected is because of the color of his skin.
I believe there were suggestions of knocking down the restriction of interstate availability of insurance.
BTW, how many individuals will still not have insurance once the PPACA goes into effect? I've heard the number will still be about 30M...

There have been many bills produced by the republicant majority House that have never been allowed to be voted on in the demorat controlled Senate. Just what exactly has Obama proposed as legislation? Do not say PPACA, that was Reid and Pelosi letting lobbyists supply the detaila, which Obama now ignores. He has never produced a budget that can get passed, even by the Senate. Obama is a moron that has no leadership skills and has thus decided to make law by executive order and selective enforcement of the law. Obama even postponed the "bad" portions of ObamCare, saying that more than 3 years was needed for implementing only those "bad" portions of the PPACA law. Law, to Obama, is merely a formality beneath the dignity of a mighty king.
Lets face it AP. We have to pay for those people anyway. All they have to do is go to the emergancy room and we all pay for it anyway. You can not believe all you read and hear on the ACA. The righ hates it so bad they will say anything they can to defeat it. They know that like social security in the 1930's once people start getting it they will learn to like it and that scares the crap out of the right. Remember social security was hated by the right at first like the VA,medicare and medicaid. Once people start getting an intitlement they learn to like it.

Very few of those ideas where good ideas. Very few of them where original. Most of them involved cutting foodstamps and unemployment benifits during hard times,defunding planned parenthood and many other nasty and mean idea they could come up with. I thought Harry Reed did us all a service blocking those BS ideas.

The last CBO report I saw indicated that after 10 years of implementation, there will still be between 30 and 50 million Americans without health insurance. Obama likes to bleat about Republicans not wanting Obamacare because they don't want 30 million poor people to have insurance but he conveniently ignores his own plan's projections.

As most politicians ignore facts that they do not like.
Good evening jcj...
Post it please.
Good evening V1.1 - I hope all is well and things have been gradually returning to normal on the home front for you and your family.
Post it please.
The right has many good ideas, but you won't hear any of them on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or PBS. That is why the left hates Fox News so much.You may be right but it is too late. He is already elected and the right has failed to distroy him and it is time for them to come up with some new ideas other that hating him.
That my friend is a bunch of crap. The reson he was elected is the GOP is freaking backward thinking and ran weak candidates who where easy targets for the press and Obama. If he was so bad he would have been beaten by Romney who made the stupid mistake of calling out 47% of the population for being lazy and takers when they where really victoms of Bush's economy. The GOP is in trouble and you know it. Don't play stupid because you are not.
