So how do you guys think Obama is going to respond to last night?





Ignore it as best he can.
Ignore it as best he can. Unlike Clinton, I think he is delusional between reality and his beliefs. He was convince himself that he is doing the right thing and that special interest groups are stopping his every move. I just can't wait until we take healthcare from him.

Standard response: press
Standard response: press conference with sleeves rolled up (still don’t understand the sleeves thing).

The majority of us are, or come from, the demographic of people who he's attempting to rob at gunpoint in order to further his agenda. If you sit on your ass and don't go to work, you deserve to be uneducated (undereducated), dirty, poor, hungry, etc. For some reason, a large number of people in this country feel they are entitled to what the rest of us earn simply because they exist. Obama happens to be the champion for their cause and that pisses us tax payers off.
Outside of his economic incompetence, I don't think he has any allegiance to this country, is over-educated, inexperienced and a closet Muslim posing as a Christian (which speaks to his lack of character). He comes across as pompous and egotistical and he doesn't seem to be capable of "manning up" and taking responsibility for his actions/responsibilities.
It might be worth pointing out the difference between fiscal and social conservative, so the people you know in IBD may come across more "liberal" but it could be from a social standpoint. Consider also, that Obama is so far left that many in his own party have tried to distance themselves from him.
What's there to like about the guy?
Regards

SB - beautiful post.
To add to this:
I am not a fan of Obama.
My main problems with Obama is when he makes stupid moves like approving bailouts for companies and banks. That is completely going against basic economic laws: Through failure we see growth. Failing institutions do not deserve to be saved. Period.
Also, just other small things like adding a tanning bed tax to the health care bill. I mean, really? A tax on tanning beds? It seems so pointless, there are bigger problems and issues to address than tanning beds. He tried really hard to present some sort of competence to his laughable bill and slaps in literature saying that tanning bed taxes will not only be included but also are a part of tier 1 for items to go into affect.
You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.

+1. But of course people are far more tempered and politically moderate when you talk to their faces in a work environment rather than an anonymous internet forum.

I don't understand why people say this all the time.
"I disagree with all of his policies. I think he's arrogant, cocky, and egotistical. I think he's out of touch with America. I think he's an elitist. BUT I don't hate the guy as a person."
This is pretty much the same line from every conservative commentator, talk show host and radio host. The guy is an awful president, and it showed last night. It will also show once he goes on TV and says something like this:
"OK look, last night the American people once again showed that they are fed up with Washington as usual. They want a change from what has been going on for the last ten years, etc.......The Republicans (or my "enemies" scared the American people into voting for them..."
No Barack, people hate YOU. We should be able to say we hate him, just like people say they hate Mel Gibson.
It's a function of what he
It's a function of what he does with our money. The fact that he has touted this healthcare bill as his "tombstone" is disgusting.
For example, say you receive a bonus of 100k - you worked 100 hours a week for 4 years to get to this point, and damnit you deserve the satisfaction of enjoying it. Well actually a homeless asshole on welfare is going to use a portion of "this bonus" to purchase booze, scratch tickets and drugs. Why the hell ever work if that's the case.
While I am stauchly republican in economic terms, I am a liberal for most other matters. If I impregnate a beautiful young lady, DAMNIT I WANT AN ABORTION!!! Could only imagine my bonus going towards child support and the homeless. THATS LIKE TRIPLE TAXATION!
Well, I personally like Obama
Well, I personally like Obama a lot. I am in the same industry as you guys and if I have to pay an extra few dollars for my fellow Americans from my own pocket, I don't mind that.

Good- then donate your money to charity and causes, but don't force me to have to pay for some crackhead's fucked up life.

Not everyone is a crackhead sir. A lot of Americans are in non-crackhead professions such as teaching, nursing, fire-fighting etc. The slightly higher taxes we pay benefits the whole society and not the crackheads alone. Obviously the system is not perfect, some crackheads do take advantage, but in the long run the pros outweigh the cons.

This is such an easy talking point to make at a cocktail party, but dont pretend if it wasnt for this healthcare bill, our tax burden would be zero percent. Should we also pass a car insurance bill that will expand car ins. coverage to those that dont have it? Should we finance this by adding another payroll tax? Healthcare insurance is just that - insurance. Government is already huge, why are we making it bigger with more benefits and taxes?
I dont like Obama at all. Both parties are terrible though from both an economic and social perspective. I dislike the democrats because they seem to even manage to outspend the republicans and also have the extra layer of trying to increase taxes. Of course a lot of people here like the idea of economic conservatism, but the republicans haven't done anything significant to drastically shrink or eliminate entitlement payments, end the wars, or cut government.

Obviously I wasn't being completely serious. Please enlighten us how higher taxes benefits society as a whole. Saying that everyone gets rainbows and lollipops doesn't count.
