Consider me a 'sit on my hands' democrat come November. While the country was foundering economically Obama went in the exact OPPOSITE direction that the country needed him to go. Instead of focusing 24/7 on the economy and passing REAL economic relief packages and homeowner relief packages, Obama decides to waste his first summer in office focusing on HEALTHCARE and a "beer summit". NOW he decides to try and pass real relief? NOW he's focusing on jobs? What a joke. A disgusting joke. ...
I don't know about other Americans, but I want the 50,000 troops that are left in Iraq OUT OF THERE, and within a year, and NO EXCUSES.

When it gets to the highest bracket, THEN have the big fight in congress. I would love to see the ...
I don't understand why the Democrats don't say to the public that we are and have been doing what the Republicans want all this time.We've had tax cuts for the rich for ten years, and we've had "too" small of a Government for ten years and it didn't work. Everything Republicans cry that they want, we have "HAD" for the last 10 years. Including the first two years of Obama's Presidency. The uninformed people DON"T realize we are still operating under conservative ideas. Why ...
