Thank you, Mr. President, for that well spoken, and thoughtful comment. P.S.. love your pseudonym.

Where have you been, GeorgiaGal? For the past 25 years, the only places which provide quality education have been esxpensive private schools, and catholic schools. The best thing we could do for education now is to close all public jr and sr high schools (7th to 12th grades), and give each student a voucher equal to the dollar amount spent per student. The ones who can pass the entrance exams will get a quality education, and the ones who can't pass will go work at MacDonalds or Burger King.

Carol, you fell into the trap. you say OK fair enough? Not so. LIMITED GOVERNMENT means LIMITED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!!! There are already state laws covering min wage, child labor, etc. The states do have the power to regulate their citizens, the fed does not. The fed gov't has no business getting involved in welfare, healthcare (escept for vets/military), housing, education, urban development, etc. The reason these areas/programs are failing badly is because of fed involvement!

David idiot gregory, in his questions, goes directly from FED gov't regs to the citizen, bypassing the state gov't. He doesn't even recognize the state gov't exists.

If the legal hispanic community would start giving up the illegals, and start cooperating in rooting out the bad guys, we would not need laws like the new AZ law. Until the legal hispanics understand it is in their best interest to help, racial profiling is the only way to identify these guys. Until they cooperate, make every hispanic get in line and produce papers. Like they say in Mexico City, el tougho shitto!

Does anyone really believe that the taxes collected in the first four yrs will be locked away and available when the programs start? The CBO should score this thing as the cost of the program only during the time it's in effect.

These are the old slave states. Payback is hell. You think he cares about Louisiana, Miss, Alabama, Texas? He knows nobody down here likes him. These are conservative christian states that will never vore for him. He's not even pretending to be the pres of all the people. He's only pres of about 40% of the people

Bob, that "vast majority" u describe are the backbone of the democratic party. The democrat's policies are designed to keep those people ignorant and poor, and dependent on the democrats for welfare, subsidies, and handouts. And this health care bill is another democratic version of the same old crap. It has nothing to do with health.

Term limits have become a must! I have petitioned the Texas legislature to start by calling for a const. convention. And we don't need congress to pass it.If 3/4 of state leislatures petition Congress for a convention, then a convention must be called. The convention then passes the amendment, and if 3/4 of the state legislatures ratify it, it becomes the law.
I think one term is it. Whenever reelection is possible, here comes the lobbies and the $$$$. Keep the senate as it is (6 yrs with 1/3 turned over every 2 yrs), and make the House 4 yrs with 1/2 the house turned over every 2 yrs. And go back to state leg. selecting senators, with the power to recall them if the senators don't represent the state. Call your state reps and...

Anyone as green and inexperienced as Ubammama cannot possibly get very far unless they are bought and paid for, especially in Chicago. Of course he's owned, and he's not in charge. He's just the slickest of the thugs, so they dress him up and tell what to do and say. Its amazing that after a year in office, he still has no experience as president.
