As I'm watching Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton travel through the Middle East, I notice how careful they are not to offend. Mrs. Clinton even has her head wrapped. Why is it that this administration believes that we should respect others by honoring thier values and traditions when visiting thier countries but they do not believe that when foreign people come to our country, they should honor and respect our values and traditions? This seems like a hypocrisy to me. We are the land of the free but it sure feels like I'm having to bend my ways to suit others. They shouldn't be allowed to come here and change us. If they liked what they had it seems to me that they would've stayed there. I don't mind Muslims or people of others faiths and they should be able to practice thier traditions AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO OURS.
Mr. Obama:

Since you have taken office, I have witnessed you and members of your administration teasing and mocking americans who had different ideas of what you as our government should be doing. As our president, isn't it your job to not just hear, but to LISTEN to every citizen, even when they don't agree with you? Is it the policy of your administration that when a citizen does not agree with or doesn't like your ideology that they become someone who isn't worthy of yours or your staff's time? Someone undeserving of respect or common courtesy?
Dear Mr. Obama:

As a tax paying american, and one who has not ever used the social systems in any way, I respectfully request that you and your administration stop the mis-use of taxpayer money on such things as Airforce 1 photo shoots, dates with your wife, useless letters, etc. All these things cost us, not you. You and your administration do not have free use of our money. Anyone who down flags this one is out of there minds. Everyone should feel this way. Stop spending our money unless you plan on REALLY creating a job with it or in some other way benefiting an american citizen other than yourself or some other government agent.

Has the government ever considered the idea of cutting back instead of spending every budgeted dime? It wouldn't hurt you know. It's called a savings account. Why hasn't the government taken excess funds and put it away instead of creating some ridiculous thing to spend it on so they can get the same amount next year. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Look out for us?
Why don't we stop frivolous lawsuits? That's the biggest reason we have such high insurance costs all around. The government doesn't want to do this because they're all attorney's themselves. People should not be awarded $2,000,000 for spilling hot coffee in their laps. We don't need socialized medicine. We need our insurance costs to decrease. It is my understanding that in some states, the premium for an OB/GYN is upwards of $100,000 a year. Why? Because of all these attorneys we see manipulating people into big money suits. Control the dishonest attorneys and you control insurance costs.
Mr. President:

It used to be that when your product was low quality, over priced and no longer in demand, or if a company simply mismanaged and couldn't pay its bills, that it meant OUT OF BUSINESS.

In addition to allowing the american citizens access to your birth and education documents, which I'm certain you are planning on doing especially since you've promised transparency, please stop bestowing our money upon the very rich who've mishandled thier companies or have allowed the unions to rape them. We should stop the welfare system in this country altogether but we most certainly did not have, at least to my knowledge, a welfare system for rich thieves including our corrupt and dishonest government of which you are a part. We also should not allow our gaggle of crooks whom we call representatives, Republican and Democrat alike access to pounds of the peoples money for ideas and projects that can be done at a later date when those of us out here who work are having such a hard time right now. So when you start listening to us, I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind giving me and my countrymen back the money that you've gifted upon others who didn't deserve it. Thank you very much.

Let's ban swimming pools, cars, alcohol, tobacco, etc. All these things kill more people every year than guns. Only criminals use guns against others. I have a right to my firearms constitutionally.

Luvwith:

Many of the things that happened or are happening on this list, were under the watch of a democrat. Bill Clinton, was the president who pushed the programs that ultimately led to the mortgage crisis we now face. Bill Clinton is the one who "let" Bin Laden get away. Mr. Obama has tripled the debt in his few short months in office. Whoever wrote this didn't do their homework. This person frankly does not have the facts to back up the words because there are none. Historically this was not done by one administration in 8 years. It was done by many administrations, including Obama's.

Some of the things you write in here, I agree with, some, I don't. One thing I believe that is not in dispute here is that the government, Republican and Democrat alike, are taking advantage, at a criminal level, of the American people and have been for a very long time. What is happening here, has been a cumulative effect of many administrations and their decision making.

I believe that what most posters on here would like everyone to acknowledge is the fact that the government hasn't worked for the people for a very long time. I believe that the last president who truly worked for the people, was JFK. After that, we've been thrown to the wolves by the whole lot of them. administrations before him were also involved in activities and decision making not beneficial to us.

If we don't pull together, how will we ever prevail against a government who is stealing our liberties with every stroke of their pen? The men and women who walk the floors of our capital building, are not our friends. They haven't been for a very long time. Even if you approve of Mr. Obama, why wouldn't you want him to uphold the constitution and prove his eligibility? Why wouldn't you question why he won't allow for the release of these documents? What is being asked of him is not a hard thing.

The Federal Government was never meant to have the power they now possess. The States were to be the more powerful government and still should be. One man, especially one with the poor character exhibited by Obama, was never meant to nor should they possess the great power of Executive Order. Bush too did things by Executive Order that were unconstitutional and amoral.

As far as the supposed "supervision of wealth," we live in the land of opportunity. Community colleges are abundant with reasonable tuitions and good education. Grants and loans are available. You are what you make yourself. Many of the wealthy, are people who educated themselves and then went out and DID. That is what capitalism is about. The people who live poor lives are mostly people who made that decision for themselves. My brother works and supports a family, while his wife stays home with their four children. He is also in his 4th year studying to be a mechanical engineer. He works hard and he studies hard. His hard work will pay off. That is what this country is about. No one should be awarded a job or position based upon race or gender. Only qualifications. Those qualifications can be met with hard work. No one should be awarded the hard earned money off the back of another working man or woman who has their own families to support, no matter how wealthy that person is. We are not entitled to what others have earned.

I believe that as a country, most of us want to help others by giving money and time. I also believe that we want to see those that receive that help do something to help themselves as well. The government has enabled people to live off of others their whole lives. They have created a group of "entitled" people. That is what I complain about and what I believe others do as well.

I am not rich. I am part of the working, middle class American. I don't want the wealth to be equally distributed. I believe that you get what you deserve and earn. This creates incentives to do better. What's the incentive if the government is just going to take what you earn and give it to someone who does nothing? Why not just sit back and wait for your handout too? That's what will happen in this country.

Mr. Obama is a capitalist. He's going to capitalize on placing us in his social world and stealing from us. That's the business he's in. He's not going to spread his wealth, just ours.

As far as women having abortions, I'm pro consequence. Everyone knows how babies are made. If you don't want one, don't have sex. If you do get pregnant, be accountable for your own actions. Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control.

THESE ARE MY GEMS

You sound like you're anti-american.

I don't have to learn to speak spanish. I don't have to learn to pick up my trash and quit committing crimes. I'm talking about people who come and live here buddy.

I thought the tradition of this country was christian, based on our National Motto "In God We Trust."

I did a desert trip for Prince Saud a few years back. While I was in his presence, I was not allowed to speak. Unless I was serving him, I was not allowed to be in sight. All this because I'm a woman.

Don't come in here thinking you know what you're talking about. I've lived it Sir. They don't observe our "traditions." We don't think women are second class citizens for one thing.

If you don't like it here and you think, like Nobama, that there's something wrong with this country, MOVE.

Send them home. Right now we have millions of people out of work and we don't need these mooches and criminals taking work from citizens and over burdening our health, welfare, school and law enforcement system. Who's going to pay for this "independent commission" any way? We have a multi trillion dollar deficit. We need an independent commission only to show Obama the door.

Mr Tiller was a man who benefited from the killing of innocents. We are a nation WHO ALLOWS THE KILLING OF OUR CHILDREN AND CELEBRATES THE LIFE OF A CHILD KILLER. I don't condone the killing of Mr. Tiller but how dare you defend this killing machine? His killer should be brought to justice but I won't be attending any vigils for Mr Tiller. People like Obama and Sebelius enabled this man to conduct business for many years. I don't want them in control of my life with a socialized healthcare program. They have no regard for human life.

I totally agree with this. If these criminals are taking our money, they should have to account for thier spending. They have mechanisms in place so that they can track everything we do. Our bank accounts are open to them and now our medical records. They should provide the same for us.

Yeah, let's see. Our children are some of the worst educated in the world, we have illegals flocking over the border by the millions raping our social and healthcare systems and committing crimes. We are spread way too thin militarily and our veterans receive substandard medical care while their families lose their homes. Our justice system has racist judges and no consistency.

Who ever you are: I homeschool my kids in order to give them a good education so I don't have time to sit here and address these issues but if you think that this obamanation government protects us and keeps us safe, you've got another thing coming.

The governments social healthcare system WILL NOT BE BETTER. THEY WILL STEAL FROM ITS COFFERS JUST AS THEY DO EVERYTHING ELSE. I'm astounded that you or others like you are pushing this. I think that you and others that believe as you do will have a rude awakening some day. This government and no government since Woodrow Wilson has our best interests at heart. They are criminals and they are looking at you and me and everybody else. Please don't push your crap down my throat. You need to start reading some history. Every government, and I mean every one, has in some way enslaved its people. This government is doing the same with its over taxation and spending. Its electronic medical database is nothing more than a mechanism to keep track of "medical pedigree." If you think the government is your friend, I feel very sorry for you. You'll see.

Have you people EVER been to a VA hospital? If the government is put in charge our healthcare the whole lot of us will die early. The government can't run the post office, medicare, SSI, nothing basically. What's wrong with you people that you would think a social medicine program is the ticket? Haven't you seen what the UK is doing? They are DENYING care to women in advanced stages of breast cancer. They are discussing the possibility of rationing healthcare to make up for some of their budget shortfalls. We are talking about the lives of human beings here. Not sheep or cattle. Our government will end up doing the same thing to us. The UK healthcare program is the 2nd largest expense in the WORLD only behind China's army and they don't even offer everyone care. Our government will steal from this program just as they do any other AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR LIFE.

No. Mr Tiller set up his own climate In which he was killed. I don't have blood on my hands. I am not part of the culture in this country who thinks it's okay to kill our children. I'm pro-consequence. I face the consequences of my actions. I believe in accountability and responsibility. If you have sex, you have babies. Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control. Especially not late-term abortions. I have bore my children and they will be raised to be responsible, provide for themselves and to know and hold themselves accountable for their actions. Including pregnancies, dishonesty, lack of planning, mismanagement, etc. Mr. Obama wants to enable people to do all of these things with no accountability. People need to be held accountable, no matter what. If you do drugs, get in a car and kill somebody, drug use should not be an excuse and prison time should be the consequence.

I also want to point out that doctors save people and give them another shot at life. Mr Tiller snuffed out many hundreds of years of the lives of others. People who would've made a difference to someone or something. That's not a doctor.

As I stated before, I'm sorry about Mr. Tillers death and I hope the person responsible comes before a jury of his peers to decide his punishment. If I were on his jury, and there was enough evidence, I would convict him and hold him accountable for his actions. He too snuffed out a life. A life to which he had no right to decide its fate, just as Mr Tiller did many times throughout his long career.

You also don't know my party affiliation because I've never told you and you don't know me as I don't know you.

Info:

We didn't "kill" Mr. Tiller. Truthfully I was a little sad to hear of his death. I did not agree with what Mr. Tiller did nor do I agree with the man who murdered him.

Is this website set up only for liberals to come and post their ideas or is it a place for all? We have a legitimate request and Mr. Obama needs to comply. If he has nothing to hide he will. If not, we'll know when he refuses to show the requested documents. This is no different than showing tax documents or taking a lie detector test. You only refuse when there's something you don't want people to see.

Mr. Obama needs to "pony up."

Scientists claim that “greenhouse gases” are causing global warming. What are “greenhouse gases” you ask? Carbon dioxide and water vapor. Yes you read that correctly (plants are a user of carbon dioxide and a huge emitter of water vapor). What is the primary emitter of carbon dioxide? Well… we are (and animals too but animals are more important than humans). But if people are the ones who emit one of the primary causes (carbon dioxide) of “global warming” how do you start the process of eliminating the emitters? You have to control and reduce the population of people (we do however have to protect owls and little fishies).

Okay, here’s where the carbon tax and socialized medicine tie in together. If they can pass Cap and Trade (remember that people are the primary emitter of carbon dioxide), they use the money to establish a socialized healthcare program. They then use the socialized healthcare program to reduce the human population by rationing healthcare thus reducing life expectancies and weeding out undesired “strains” of people. By having everyone’s medical history on an electronic database, they basically have a “pedigree chart” for every human being and can weed out “family lines” that are prone to cancers, heart disease and other “undesirable” illnesses. They can also weed out drug users including tobacco and alcohol. In just a few generations, they would have a new “super human.” A human that rarely gets sick or needs medical care. A human that takes care of itself by eating and drinking the right substances and exercising because they’re afraid of the day when the chopping block comes around for them. Unless of course, you are a member of the “elite.” In that case you can afford your own medical care. This is how they will reduce the “living.”

How will they reduce the “unliving?” Well we know the answer to that. Abortions. They will force abortions on the “undesired strains” of people. The culls. They will also force abortions on women who’s fetuses have tested positive for an “undesired” disease thus eliminating the possibility of an “undesired human” polluting their “super human” race. They will also limit the number of children people can have.

This is how Cap and Trade and Socialized Healthcare tie in together.

CAUSE:

PEOPLE = CARBON DIOXIDE = GREEN HOUSE GASES = GLOBAL WARMING (we all know that this is ridiculous. Global warming is simply an excuse to tighten the noose)

SOLUTION:

PASS A LAW THAT ALLOWS ELECTRONIC DATABASING OF ALL MEDICAL RECORDS (ALREADY PASSED LAST MONTH) TO KEEP TRACK OF MEDICAL “PEDIGREE.” IMPOSE A NEW TAX CALLED CAP AND TRADE UNDER THE GUISE OF ELIMINATING THE “CARBON FOOTPRINT” BY FORCING ELECTRIC PROVIDERS INTO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF “COMPLIANCE”. USE THE MONEY GENERATED TO IMPLEMENT THE USSA’S NEW HEALTHCARE PROGRAM. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, PASS THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT ALLOWING TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO FUND ABORTIONS WORLDWIDE. WHAT DO YOU HAVE? YOU HAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR NEIGHBORS PAYING FOR THE GOVERNMENTS PLANNED ELIMINATION OF …. WELL… YOU.

If anyone thinks this is a “Conspiracy Theory”, think again. This is Conspiracy history folks. Every government since the dawn of time has enslaved its people. They got rich off the backs of the people. They also did “selective breeding.” Just like we did to the slaves before the Civil War. We bred a race of “super slaves.” People who were strong and fast so that they could work harder and longer on the plantations. Our government is going to do the same thing to us if we don’t stop them.

The UK is already “discussing” the possibility of rationing healthcare and they already deny healthcare to women in advanced stages of breast cancer. That means no pain medication or anything. Their families will simply watch them die. The second largest “cash cow” in the world, behind China’s Red Army is the UK’s socialized healthcare program. They are going to start reducing its cost by elimination of the “undesired.”

We’re next.

Last time I looked I lived in the USA where we have a constitution. That constitution not only allows us freedom of speech but it also requires the president to prove that he was born on US soil. If you don't like the constitution and if you want to live in the type of socialist society that Obama is taking us into, then I suggest YOU MOVE, because we won't let it happen here. I'm not going down into this man's social hell without a whimper. If you want to that's your business.

Glad to be nut. I'm right there with Ya all you World Daily Nut Morons! At least I'll be a free nut living in a capitalist society.

Dear Mr Obama:

I too would like confirmation of your eligibility to serve as the President of United States.

I also want you to stop spending our money bailing out companies who are bankrupt due to thier own mismanagement or the corrupt unions.

I also do not give you permission to take your wife on $100,000 dates at the expense of the people.

I'm tired of you giving our money to the other corrupt politicians, Republican and Democrat for what, I'm not sure. Why don't you provide us with the records showing us where that money went?

I also don't appreciate how you thieves sit around up there trying to figure out how to steal more and more from us when we can hardly pay our bills as it is. Why don't you folks who are supposed to represent the people figure out how to cut your spending of our hard earned money? We can't give you anymore. Don't you understand that? You don't own us Sir. We are not your slaves. You would do well to understand that. All of the government needs to understand that.

I also don't give you permission to keep track of my medical pedigree on your electronic database. I have a feeling I know what that's about. I don't want your "socialized medicine." I hope everyone knows why our loving and caring government wants to do that. (Shh! Population control). You support and condone the killing of the innocent.

Mr. Obama, I don't want you as my president. You are not qualified nor are you eligible. You have appointed and surrounded yourself with abortionists, racists, and thieves. You are the puppet of the elite and you answer to the likes of Pelosi, Dodd and Frank. You allow and participate in the rape and thievery of the people of this nation.

It is my sincere hope that most of your constituents have seen you for what you are and in 2010 we derail your social machine and then in 2012 we shut you down.

Every government through the history of time has enslaved its people and every government has eventually failed. Yours will too.
