lol. Just an FYI what you think of Deepak is non of his business. Its just you and your noise(thoughts)

Deepak's a politician

I liked him better when he wasn't a politician but a Spritual teacher. Now he is what he says Obama should be - easily swayed and reactive. His teaching days are over.

Love Deepak

Love Deepak and peace to all.

Bedard's real reason for this article

It's not that Deepak has anything worthwhile to say, it's that he promised the intern. How galant!

Proper Grounding Prevents Spirit Fires.

OK, Deepak, please think before you speak. Doctors prescribe not because they fear getting sued but because of the freebies Big Pharm gives them. Also, your own premise that drugs are marginally effective is reason for being sued not for preventing lawsuits.

Now, about the big O's special interest problems. These were evident when he embraced

Summers and Geithner and Emmanuel's physician brother. Yea, we know about his grounding alright and, as such, we know the basis for his "thoughtfulness."

Deepak, GO AWAY

Just as I would love to see the religious right disappear from politics, I also

wish Deepak would take a long hike in the Himalayas. I don't care to see him on

Larry King or any other CNN show spout his holier than thou crap.

I still wait in hope...

I wish the reforms become more real than remaining a political campaigns. I was discussing about the huge bills I paid this year. One American lady said , We spend a lot of money on research thats why its costly here. I am a Indian immigrant & she wanted to present her country to be proud. Why did she think that I complain about research? ignoring her hidden comment about my country. I complain about what I can pay and what is a burden. Ayurveda in India is a age old medical system and when some body get some ache they simply go to the ayurvedic doctor near them and he gives the herb well prepared from the knowledge inherited over hundreds of years. Do they really think no research and knowledge involved in this? The 10 cent medicine that the doctor gives will work, no doubt in that. Well a person who came from such place, 20$ for coupay, 300 for visit and 400 for endoscopy is a burden and I don't imagine a life with out insurance. I am sure the lady is proud about her country. I appreciate the research but I wait for some reforms in some blind hope.

Bobbles Poll: Obama's Socialist Joke?

President Obama and "Oboker" bobbleheads for Washington Whispers. Bobbleheads provided by webobbles.com.

Shouts that President Obama is steering the nation and budget in a socialist manner have become so loud that now our bobble supplier has designed a "Socialist Obama" titled "OBOKER," a play off Heath Ledger's evil Joker who sought social upheaval in the The Dark Knight. Do you think that Obama's agenda is exactly what the country needs or a push into socialism?
