Success Happy

After this initial health care reform bill becomes a big success, what should Obama do for an encore?

A real climate protection bill? A real financial industry regulation bill? A real workers rights bill? How about a real single-payer health care bill?

1. All four, but I would also like to see him tackle reducing corporate welfare.
2. incarcerate the loons on the right who are threatening and doing violence, just because they're not getting their way
3. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for that, I needed a laugh to start my day, and delusions about the supposed success of a bill which has yet to be tested was just the thing I needed. You got anymore good jokes? Or is Obama the best you have left?
4. First, all he got was the bill passed. No way it will be a success. For an encore, easy; GO AWAY!
5. False premise. The health care reform bill cannot be a big success.
6. resign for failing to abide by and uphold the Constitution!!!
7. I still have the right to choose which beer I want so maybe Obama will pass a bill that chooses for me, I have to buy coors or I get fined and go to jail. Thats far-fetched but thats completely legal for the govt to pass now, thanks to the passing of the HC bill.
8. Since this is how he really feels, I'm sure it will be something else extremely destroying to the core of America. . . . The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press'. The author (Dale Lindsborg) is employed by none other than the very liberal Washington Post!! From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It". 'Senator' Obama replied: "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing." Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ." When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past". "Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path.. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America " WHAAAAAAAT!!! Yes, you read it right. Dale Lindsborg , Washington Post
9. I got news for you. Keep gloating! I work in the health insurance industry and people ask me if I am sad about this new law. Are you kidding me? The law clearly states that EVERY American must now buy health insurance. I just hope I don't get writers cramp from filling-out all the new applications. Please don't throw me in the briar patch! Please don't throw me in the briar patch Brother Fox!
10. ask again in 5 years
11. Energy policies. Get off middle east oil.
12. we could go for the single-payer health care, but the prez better start creating jobs. a lot of bridges and dams need work. a lot of projects americans could get into. mass transit. the polls show under employment levels flat at 20%. he better get on this.
13. wake up and realize it is a dream,it won't work,the numbers he uses don't add up.and since the democrats have shown they mess up ever piece of legislation they make they should stop screwing up america
14. You have no idea how you PROVED you don't know WTF you're talking about, do you? You DID though. I swear.
15. Perhaps we should see exactly what this "reform" Law actually contains and what it will actually do. I still do not see how we are going to afford it, even if you took every last dime the wealthy have it would not be enough. *
16. Listen to the actual american people and not his lap dogs nancy and harry, so that he can see the american people do want change.....they want to change their current president! out of the 1,000,000 people who visited obamas inauguration only 14 missed work.
17. Flap his arms and fly to the moon, which is just as likely as Obamacare being a success of any measure.
18. After leprechauns come into my backward, how rich will I become from their gold? Pointless question, because it's not going to happen.
19. How about color-coded "Vermin Alerts" whenever Republicans are speaking on TV?
