Four months until Election Day 2012

Whatever you want to call them, every President does them. When you can't get a bill thru the crazy tea baggers in Congress you have to do what you can.

I look forward to the reelection of the president, period!

Good! One less vote for the Republican.

They lost my vote a long time ago.

Get to do our civic duty. Choose who we think is best to lead us for the next 4 years (This will be the tough part). And best of all....

THE POLITICAL ADS WILL BE OVER.... for a few months.

I hope Obama wins and above all, I hope the tea party congressmen get voted out too. They have caused nothing but obstructionism and turmoil within our government. They have to go!! Obama2012

Watch it there granny, you'll break a hip if you keep that up! :D

I have good health insurance. lol

I hope you get to keep it! :)

I will, I have no doubt.

I also hope you are not disappointed about that.

Obama said if we made less than 250K per year we would not see pne penny in new taxes and then comes the Obamacare TAX.

So much for that promise.

Do we want something that is good for all, or keep what we have now, which is only good for some. Healthcare is going up every year, and right now, the insurance companies are doing everything they can to raise prices on people before the bill actually goes into affect. Private insurance companies are scam artisits, and they know what is coming. They will have to pay at least 80% of their money received for actual healthcare and right now they are paying out much less, cancelling policies on high risk patients, and doing everything they can so they dont have to pay. In 2014, that will stop.

okay.

They have been even worse than the Republican Congress of the first two years. Kick them jokers to the curb & get about the business of continuing to fix this country.

True, but the moderates have even gone way to the right and that is why the good ones like Olympia Snowe are retiring. I am glad she stated that it is because of the crazy right wingers that she left. Some of the blue dogs can go also, but only if replaced by progressives.

It's a shame the crazies in the GOP have run the moderates in their party out. Often during the healthcare debate we could only get Olympia Snowe & Susan Collins to vote with the Dems to get things passed.

The blue dogs were millstones around the president's neck.

They sure were, and I wish more would go.

Boo-Hoo, Wahhh, WAHHH

Thanx for showing that an intelligent conversation is impossible. I'd be pouting & sad if I were exhibiting such lack of critical thinking skills.

I've done all that already - I'm not one to repeat myself to every Tom, Dick and Harry that posts here.

Plus you have no idea who you are talking to. :D

If you don't feel like explaining yourself to "every Tom, Dick & Harry" (even if you're responding to the opposite gender) then you shouldn't put yourself out there for criticism.

Are you trying to frighten me with that last statement? This lady don't frighten easily.

Tom Dick & Harry is an 'expression' ever heard of those???

You posted, "Are you trying to frighten me with that last statement? This lady don't frighten easily." Unquote.

Give me a break!!! What a ridiculous comment about mine. GROW UP MENTALLY and stop looking for an altercation where there is none.

You're the one who said "Plus you have no idea who you are talking to."

CONS be threatening people all the time on SH. If you don't want people interpreting your words as a threat then maybe you should choose alternative words.

So far, and I admit I've only been here since November last year, NO ONE has EV-VAH taken my words and as a threat. Only YOU!

You may live in New York, but I'll bet you are NOT a citizen.

Go MIS-understand someone else.

If you made that bet you would lose it. I'll give you some information that you should be able to Google to prove my assertions.

I was born April 19, 1953 in the Oneida County Hospital on Mohawk Street in Utica, NY. The hospital is no longer there as it became a shopping center. There is a school right across the street from the "now" shopping center. It's name is Roscoe Conkling School & my 34 year old daughter attended grades 1-3 at that school.

My mother is buried in Clayville, NY where she was born & raised. Her name was Eileen Besaw & her burial site is right by my maternal grandmother Sadie Cilbrith.

If you spoke to others the same way you've spoken to me I'm relatively sure they probably blocked you. You seem to fit in very well with the hateful CONS here on SH.

Conservative, YES, hateful NO.

I could care less where your family is buried - plenty of Viet Nam vets are buried in Viet Nam, does NOT mean they were citizens of Viet Nam.

Not to mention the 100-year occupation of the poor French in Viet Nam whose dead can be seen from the air as THOUSANDS were buried there. They were NOT citizens of Viet Nam, but soldier citizens of France.

So your argument of where someone is buried is bogus and ridiculous.

Regarding blocking; feel free, it does NOT concern me. One person had blocked me and has since reversed the block, so stay in your fantasy world and Tinkerbell will come and touch you with her wand. :D:D:D

Let me school you a little bit. I have "Conservative" friends & I don't call them CONS. That name is reserved for the CONS who spew hateful things, can't make a post without denigrating folk either with pictures or language.

Fine, you say what you want to say. The town of Clayville was NEVER a battleground. Now if you wanna talk the Town of Oriskany, that was--DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. I know the history of my state. During WWII Rome Air Depot housed German POW. My mother worked there. Rome Air Depot later became Griffiss AFB but the BRAC Commission closed it down while I was still living in Utica.

I final tidbit of information. My oldest son was born at Faxton Hospital on June 23, 1971. Faxton Hospital closed its maternity ward prior to the birth of my 2nd son (January 4, 1975). My next 2 children were born at St. Luke's Memorial Hospital Center in the Town of New Hartford & is located across the road from Utica College, which is a branch of Syracuse University. Vice President Joe Biden is an SU Alumni. My youngest son was born at Auburn Memorial Hospital in Auburn, NY.

BTW, feel free to Google the Utica Observer Dispatch. I'm sure in their archives they would have the obituaries of both my mother & grandmother. One other thing, if you aren't going to do the suggested Google searches, don't continue calling my citizenship into question.

I WILL say what I wish to say. But I really appreciate your permission.

I could care LESS about all the towns and state of New York you mentioned OR where your four children were born. Whatever did I say that made you divulge all that information? I never asked you for any of that.

Joe "Bumblin'" Biden is the White House jester, so any reference to him is hardly worth bragging about.

Uh, . . . no, I won't Google your suggestions because I have zero interest in anything you have posted here along with your statement of citizenship.

I'm DONE, hoping you are as well.

FLASH: There was NO argument to start with and I maintain that you 'doth protest too much'!

There WON'T be any more "arguments".

Bye-bye. :D

Poor Oly Sno - if you can't take the heat get OUT of the kitchen. She's lost her edge.

She got tired of trying to work with the other side when she couldnt get any help from the dead beat tea party clan. Once the obstructionist got elected, she knew there was no hope.

Is 'giving up' a reason or an excuse???

After the many years she has been in office, it is a very good reason.

OK - that's one person's assessment.

No offense.
