Obama's 12 Most Important Decisions: What Do You Think?

Reader Comments
Back to article

The USA has imposed & enforced many boycotts, embargoes & denials of foreign aid. It did this to force other nations to do things our way, or else. All these years, we've been forced to pay too much for sugar (and stuff made with it) because Congress made Cuba stop selling sugar to us. I think one or 2 companies have a monopoly on the pineapple market. For decades, United Fruit exclusively sold crops from Banana Republics; That company was founded with jesuit money. When Reagan was President, he illegally sold arms to Iran & sent profit money to the Contras in Nicaragua. They battled the Socialist Sandinistas. They were named for the Sandino brothers, shot by Catholic dictator Somoza because they organized against United Fruit that sweated labor there. We have many trade treaties that favor some nations and harm others. We just had a taxpaid Socialist bailout of banks, carmakers & others. We did the same for Chrysler a few years ago. We have a purposely UNPLANNED economy. That way, there are opportunities for corruption at all levels. Like Teapot Dome. Theft of offshore oil concessions, etc. The flawed system makes inevitable the booms and busts of capitalism. I lost half my stock value in the Crash of 1987.

You want us Americans to accept your health plan and You yourself are exempt as well as congress. So I ask you, why are you not part of the healthcare plan you are so eager to sell? Obama You are a joke and a complete fraud. How dare you remove or cover God before you give a speech. May God deal with You Swiftly and Accordingly. Have You forgotten 9/11? Oh, I forgot you're too busy shaking hands with the enemy and letting them into America on a free ticket that we Americans will pay for. You wonder why some American's don't vote or continue to throw their hands in the air? It because the government is completely currupt. Keep talking about change, start right where you stand.

I,m not a Republician, a Democratic, or a Independent...I'm an American. I vote for the best person running according to my views. After all, I'm who counts. I'm very sad today as I think of the lost opportunities and the lack of honest decisions made by our leaders. I believe that Martin Luther King was correct ...judge people by their character ...not by the color of their skin. We are in big trouble and I don't see a leader to get us out of it. Everyone is out for SELF. I'm for starting all over...everyone out and let's try again.

Read the health care document and stop believing and repeatng what you hear from the oponents. Their purpose is only to derail what good can be done. So when they talk about any issue related to health care or other improvements notice there is alway something they claim is not right with it. It's all political. If one party is in power the opposite party tries to sabotage it, so that they have easy entrance to the White House on the next election. That's what is happening in Washington D.C.. Both parties play each other. It's time that this country realizes this fact.

The President has a very energetic agenda and it looks like it is politics as usual where the party is everything and the country be damned! We have the do nothing Republicans and the big spenders of the Democrats. Can any one explain why I, as a retiree have to pay for an illegal alien's income in this country from my pension and social security check? I think the people who put that in the healthcare bill are looney toons! Lets get a line item veto and cut the crap from the bills we submit. Why are we trying reward the law breakers? It is legislation that, that got us a 9 trillion dollar debt, citizens out of work, people losing their homes and a recession. Duh What part of no way don't they understand? Convince the younger workers who will get no pension, and the workers who had their pension cut off that they need to help their illegal neighbors, who are taking their jobs!

I can't understand why the left can't work with Obama to get the
work done that needs to be for our people, it seems that all they want is power and stand in the way of progress that is very
important that they play politics and let the the people down
SHAME ON THEM

It is obvious that the readers who support health care for fellow Americans have not read the parts that give care to everyone, even illegals. I would suggest you go to Canada and see if their socialized care would take care of you.

I understand he went to the top school of the country but didnt learn very much. I have 2 daughters and I was diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and denied for medical insurance thru the state. Iam sick of our president thinking about today then what is going on after he is out of office. You cannot get out of debt by adding more to it. Also I feel like the US citizens Are keeping GM and the car dealerships alive. I know they are a big car company but its there fault, why should hard working americans have to suffer for it. I know the president isnt bailing out the companys that people really need. I know he came in office with a big mess but pres obama just made it worst. Stop eating your 20,000 dollar dinners and feed the poor that really need it. This is sad that this is happening to our people, and the president wont relize what he is doing to us. If he really cared about his country and the people that live in it he wouldnt be putting our kids n debt.

This person needs to move to another country! If you are so against the American way of life that has made this the most desiriable country to live in, then you shouldn't live here! Leave if you don't love it.
If you can't see the destruction that the obama administration is bringing to the country and to us, then you are pathetically blind.
Oh, sorry, that is socialism at its best!

Ifeel that OBAMA have did a excellent job in his first 100 days
he took over mess from the prior administration .The GOPis now talking about the debt of our childrens but that was not a problem before .They need to get on board and pass the healt care bill because with it will coast morein a long run.For a goverment that can give to other and not their own is a disgrace If the government can pay for congress health care and that not social health care why is it a problem to pay for our citzens that cant aford to see a doctor of no kind or pay for durgs for hi blood pressure diabtes heart problems etc
Look at the last 8years WE do not want them again so please stop this party mess and put the Americans People First
