Government is government.
Lemme guess, they rolled in money anti counterfeiting to make it a state secret.
Once again corporations have more rights than citizens. For a president who prided himself on taking only money from people he sure is starting to act like he got it from somewhere else.

Everett, WA | I was an Obama supporter for about a month after he got elected, then I saw the parallels to the Bush administration and instantly lost hope.
Obama is just a smarter, more secretive Bush. A Bush-Nixon cross, if you will. |

He's still spending money we do not have, just like Bush.
He's still growing government, just like Bush.
He's dumping more taxpayer money into failed, formerly private companies, just like Bush.
He's still continuing most of the same alleged "violations" of civil liberties, just like Bush. Of course I have to use the quotation marks because many 0bama fanboys excuse these things now whereas when Bush was president they were screaming about being hauled off to the next gulag at a moment's notice.
Even in terms of foreign policy, he's continuing many Bush-era policies. I actually applaud some of the changes he's made in the war in Afghanistan. However, with regards to North Korea, he's doing nothing, just like Bush.

The stage is being set for us to return to the forefront of science, technology, and education on the world stage. The changes that the news doesn't report going on with science, technology, and healthcare are the foundation for this change. So while you read about the horrible 1.5 trillion healthcare plan, many people fail to realize that's a paltry 150 billion a year to ensure healthcare for all. This lowers employers costs, puts more money in your pocket, and will push for preventative medicine rather than reactive medicine. It's better to not get sick in the first place than get sick and then try to fix it. |

1 edit |  EFF & PK showing their partisan leanings
EFF & PK started their lawsuit while Bush was President and asserted a "state secret" claim. That didn't stop their lawsuit going forward then. Now that the anointed one asserts the same claim, they fold up their tent and go home. Sounds like EFF & PK have a partisan agenda and aren't for free flow of information, but are more the bought & paid for agents of the Democratic Party.

Using "An Inconvenient Truth" as a basis for environmental policy is pretty stupid, considering that the notion that humans are solely responsible for global "warming" is itself laughable and is certainly not settled science.
As for education, 0bama appointed the head of the failed Chicago Public School system to run the Department of Education, and the first thing he did was to end the DC school choice program and kick all of the DC students who were attending superior private schools back into the failed DC Public School system.
Hmm I guess that counts as change!
said by Matt :So while you read about the horrible 1.5 trillion healthcare plan, many people fail to realize that's a paltry 150 billion a year to ensure healthcare for all. If 0bama runs the healthcare system the same way he decided to close the various GM and Chrysler dealerships, then I suppose any savings on healthcare will come by denying it people who oppose him. Change indeed.
There is already ample proof that national socialist healthcare doesn't work (just ask someone who is on Medicare, is in need of a doctor, and can't cough up the cash to pay for supplemental insurance). We don't need to try it here just to be sure. While there are improvements that can be made to lower the price of private insurance, having the government take over the healthcare industry will just create a disaster.

Obama IS about change. Instead of thinly sugar coating everything, he (along with his administration and partly congress) is dumping it on by the ton to ensure everything has a nice thick layer of sugar on top. Now I call that change.
also, fanboys will never not be fanboys. fanboys will always do what they do best, follow blindly to the end and beyond. |

a. There's nothing paltry about $150 billion.
b. If you claim to believe that that is the real price tag will be anything other than several multiples of $150 billion per year, you are being intellectually dishonest.
c. This won't do anything for employers except cause them to cancel their health plans and send employees to the government dole. So much for $150 billion... |

| Worse than Bush
I hope all Obama's adoring fans are starting to come around that electing this guy was a huge mistake. We will be paying for this mistake and regretting it for a long time to come. I'm not sure Bush would have called this pile of crap a state secret. That sounds like it comes as a favor to some Hollywood people and they hated Bush.
Well at least we can change the situation in 2012, we can start in 2010 by getting the Democrats out of power in Congress. It works much better when one branch is controlled by one group and the other branch by the other group. We get some compromise and not the change we are all being given now. |
