Re: PLEASE explain WHY you voted for OBAMA...Please!!!
I think I missed the BIG POINT.... apparently being a SLAVE... to the USA GOVT SYSTEM is a GOOD THING...

Bill O'Rilley said... people want stuff FREE... and OBAMA said he will give it to them.

Period... that is it.


Just one problem. WHO WILL PAY??
 Quoting: ELizabeth721


Bill O' Reilly doesn't wanna talk about the military industrial complex. Who's gonna pay for that? What about Medicare? Did Romney have a plan for that, or was he just gonna keep paying it with money we don't have? Was Romney gonna cut food stamps? His plan wasn't gonna work and everybody saw thru it, they figured that they may as well stay with the deficit spending fascist that wasn't a Mormon.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22104388


Oh, yeah...and Obummer - who has NEVER - NOT EVEN ONCE -- BALANCE A BUDGET (something he is constitutionally mandated to do each year)...is going to be SO much better now. I'm sure the next 4 years are gonna be SO much better than the last 4 years...I remember him bendin over, whispering to Putin's guy - just wait til after this election - I'll have a lot more room for flexibilty...WTF?

Re: PLEASE explain WHY you voted for OBAMA...Please!!!
Before Obama, I had healthcare INCLUDED as a job benefit - for me and my whole family. No deductibles, $5 copay.

NOW...different story. I'm paying nearly $500/month for crap insurance - HUGE deductible ($2000/person), $25 copay, and only 80% coverage. WHY?????
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25709796


how has your employers ownership changed in that same time frame?

this is exactly what the Private Equity firms that are buying up all our companies do to everyone. layoff & outsource as much as possible, kill the benefits for those that stay, hire temps & "contractors" instead of "employees" when they need actual work done. offer crap benefits thru the contract companies so they can advertise that they have them. it's crippling our economy & we're not developing the next generation of talent.
 Quoting: metaball


Nah...same owners for many many years -- I'm on Bob the third (started by Bob the 1st) - it's not their fault...it's this Obamacare...basically the insurance companies are gearing up to try to afford the "cover everyone/anything" deal.

It takes money. That's where I come in - and you, and you, and you, and you, and you - oops not YOU, because you're not working - that'[s right -- it's free (ding ding ding ding) to you 'cause you voted Obammy!

Last time round you had a rapidly ageing guy with an almost beyond stupid backup.

If the GOP picked a normal candidate with some good general knowledge etc they would of won.

Re: PLEASE explain WHY you voted for OBAMA...Please!!!
1. He made it so my children had the ability to be covered under our medical insurance, even though they are young adults and on their own. There is no way they would have been able to afford the kind of medical coverage they now enjoy had he not changed existing laws. With my daughter's shaky medical history…this has been a life saver for her..literally!
2. He extended UI benefits for people such as myself and my husband who found ourselves let go at our job through no fault of our own due to California’s “At Will” employment laws and forced to live on the UI extension benefits that Obama signed into law until we could find work again.
3. He brought home many troops by Christmas last year so that folks like my son could enjoy the holidays with their families instead of spending them in a God forsaken country surrounded by hostiles and road side bombs.
4. He was instrumental in finding, capturing and executing Osama Bin Ladin, one of the most notorious criminals of our time.
5. He got the auto industry back up and running when they were ready to throw in the towel. This in turn saved countless jobs and kept a recession from becoming a very dangerous depression.

For these reasons and many others, I proudly voted him in for a second term. He earned it!! headbang
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13547009


1. almost every university in the US has access to a medical plan, which are extremely affordable group rates. if he/she isn't going to university, then working for a full-time employer in a successful economy will provide such insurance. At what point is it no longer fair to expect your employer to cover independent adults not under their employ to keep your "kids" covered gratis?

2. Is it fair to force the federal government to bail out state unemployment plans with onerous requirements for 99 weeks of coverage? Is it fair to have taxpayers rescue a state-run INSURANCE programme to create benefits that were never part of the original agreement as part of your payment schedule?

3. He has started 3 new fronts that we know of via drones and covert operations without official declaration of war, putting hundreds if not thousands more Americans like your kids at risk: Syria, Libya, and Pakistan.

4. Instrumental? He does not run the Pentagon. He does not run Seal Team Six. He would have had to of been mentally insane or criminal to have denied the opportunity to give the execution order when it was in his lap. A trained seal could have exceeded Obama's contribution in this achievement in a circus show.

5. He created uncertainty in the business environment that has caused false signals to be sent to an industry in desperate need of streamlining to continue to be competitive. Instead of making hard choices, they've been delayed. The increase in sales of American vehicles has been driven in the last 3 months by channel stuffing. Now that he's no longer up for re-election, these floundering behemoths can be left to bleed out. Furthermore, your tax dollars went to help these same companies offshore beloved brands like Jeep and Hummer.

You are an idiot.s226yoda
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23977716


1. Extremely affordable?? You DO mean relatively speaking right?? As for the other part of your argument, the wound needs a bandage before it can begin to heal.

2. When both parents are suffering dual job loss due to a fledgling economy while trying to support their children and make a mortgage payment, you take what you can get and you are VERY appreciative! Have you been there?? If not, don't judge me.

3. Were you in the White House briefing room or at the Pentagon when all this was being discussed? Neither was I. I'll stick to the battles I CAN fight and leave the rest up to the experts;)

4. See my answer to #3

5. Tell this to all those who were able to keep their jobs and to the countless others who were barely saved from going through a depression. Something tells me that any future problems this may have created were the furthest things from their minds. Again a wound must be bandaged before it can begin to heal. But do not worry...he now has another 4 more years to begin the healing.

Does it make you feel superior to call me names. To me it detracts from your otherwise intelligent arguments...but to each his own.

Re: PLEASE explain WHY you voted for OBAMA...Please!!!
Well in addition to getting all their handouts I hope Obama supporters are OK with the price of gasoline going higher and higher taking food prices with it.

Your EBT cards are not going to go nearly as far as he continues to print money causing the dollar to be worth less and less.

Then he is going to bankrupt the coal industry causing electric bills to double and triple because there is nothing in place to replace coal.

But I guess if you are totally subsidized by the government, none of that is a problem.

That's the only reason I can think of that anybody would vote for Obama.

I just hope there is something left at the end of 4 years but some things will be gone forever like healhcare as we know it now. It's going to be like a third world country.

The truth is that while middle class incomes are virtually the same these past ten years, the wealth of the 1% has grown off the charts.
If Romney were to reinstate the policies of cutting taxes while expanding the defense budget at the same time, not only would there be more debt, but also income equality would persist and grow even more so.

I want the middle class to thrive. And that only happens with a level playing field, education, investment in infra-structure, and research and development. That was Clinton's approach. And it worked.

Romney has been owning Obama in the polls for the last few months. The only reason Obama won is because TPTB have chosen Obama to be the fall guy for the financial destruction of the US. Once that happens the US won't be policing the world any more, allowing the religious nuts to run wild and I heard that your country is one of the first on their list to invade. Welcome to the NWO.

This is what they just don't seem to understand. That "Anyone but Obama." mantra they loved chanting just doesn't cut it with intelligent swing voters. And yes, I do believe anyone with a party affiliation is lacking in brainpower.

Then again, the outcome of this election likely means diddly squat to what happens in the future. Your course was plotted and locked long ago.

Re: PLEASE explain WHY you voted for OBAMA...Please!!!
Quite frankly, I didn't think the President's challenger would have done any better and probably worse. I am against the President on many of his social stances, but I couldn't vote for McCain and Palin because the two displayed little to no common sense, and that is a DANGEROUS trait when it comes to civic administration. I cannot vote for a fool to run the country even if we share similar social beliefs, and Mitt Romney lost to such a man in the last cycle.

To be quite clear, I hate politics, and this system and nation is not going to be turned around or saved by an election. There's too much corruption, too much denial, and too many corrosive factors in play. No administration is going to fix this, because this isn't a technical problem to be fixed with amendments and patches. It's a heart problem with the citizens and leaders themselves. You can't fix that with legislation. You can only mitigate against its more terrible manifestations, and that is all that I did. Vote to mitigate against something even worse.

Again, I have no faith in this system, political, economic and otherwise. It won't last, and rather than be upset over how it is turning out, I think most people would be better served by examining themselves first and acting on the truth, not the deception.
