I think the US conservative movement got lost in its own PR these last eight years. It's stunning to see how badly they're taking their losses in the last election.
I think Obama is doing a fine job overall, and my confidence in the future of America is much higher now than it was this time last year. I shudder when I imagine how our country would have been led had McCain/Palin won the election.
Unfortunately, I think this letter is the most intelligent anti-Obama letter DN received yesterday. You have to wonder what the letters were like that they didn't print. Pretty terrifying, actually.
Guess you don't watch much of the town meetings that Obama's staff put together (referring to sucking out America's brain power).
Watch in the days ahead, the media is even starting to turn on Obama. Could it be the brain power has finally shifted?????
A better idea.... START A REAL CHOIR! Call yourselves the RED RANTERS.
"The addition of Al Franken to the Senate ensures passage of even more job-killing legislation that cannot be stopped."
Just yesterday a complaint was lodged that the stimulus package had over 800 pages that needed to be read within one day before it was voted on. 800 pages sounds like a detailed plan.
Calling the president's health care plan "socialistic" is like calling the snow at an east coast ski resort equal to the snow in the Utah Mountains - not even close. The president is simply looking for ways to make insurance affordable and available to all who want it by using the insurance companies first, and where that option is not available, a government supported system.
Al Franken's entry into the Senate won't guarantee anything - you've seen how undisciplined Democrats vote, haven't you - but it might guarantee that an issue will make to the floor of the Senate for a vote of the simple majority rather than being stuck in filibuster by a minority group of Senator's. Isn't that a good thing?
I believe more than half the country feels the same way and would take back the last election in a heartbeat--if only there were a good alternative.
Time to leave, what do you think the Cap and Tax bill is other than a massive energy tax on the middle class?
What do you think the decision to tax health care benefits is other than a massive tax on the middle class?
You and the other Democrats who closed your eyes and voted this idiot into office are now getting exactly what you deserve, unfortunately the rest of us are getting it too.
He signed the "Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009" which increased federal taxes on cigaretts.
Also, by not renewing the Bush tax cuts, you are getting a tax increase to the middle class.
Obama is against a single payer system.
I don't understand why anyone is against it. The CEO of my health insurance company made over a billion dollars for himself (not the company) in one year, and yet I owe thousands of dollars for medical procedures that happened while I was "covered".
Thats the "free market" for you.
How do you think that is going to fly in Utah County..David Brooks and Mike Murphy are going to be Socialists also?
Leave the churches and disciplining laws of nature to inform the populace about prudent living. Various ages have seen experimentation with practices of good and evil, etc. etc., nature always brings the wayward back to equilibrium. Sometimes people just have to find out for themselves about the old canards. On the other hand, economic freedom and opportunity for individual self actualization is the basis for all other freedoms. I don't care about the so called sexual freedom, which turns out to be imprisonment, I do have concerns about the libertarian idea of allowing incapacitation drug abuse to infect the poplulation.

Is this just more Right Wing Hot Air?
If you g2 the most recent polls from Jun. 30th, you'll find that President Obama has a 60% approval rating. This is far from what you claimed.
The "I'm not a lunatic" must be getting their information from a lunatic.
I love your passion.
Where were you and your passion during the last eight years?
Why do people insist on scrutinizing the other party while blinding themselves to the faults of their own party?
Note to self:
1) Do not eat lunch while reading DN message board comments.
2) Purchase Windex to clean sandwich shrapnel off of computer screen.
Indeed you're not. The lunatic, with his miscreant friends, is in the White House.

So the one I am driving now is the last car that I get to choose?
Which government agency is in charge of car choosing? Maybe if I get a job there, I'd have secret car-choosing power.
"Trillion dollar stimulus packages, environmental plans and socialized medicine can't be debated because there is no detailed plan to them."
How so? The Trillion dollar stimulus package bill was over 1000 pages long. Environmental planning and Health Care Reform are in the works.
"Ruinous environmental legislation is passed under the cover of the recent Michael Jackson media blitz."
How so? Robert, do you have a time machine? Can you see into the future? The stim package hasn't even been applied yet in several ways. Lets give it some more time.
"The addition of Al Franken to the Senate ensures passage of even more job-killing legislation that cannot be stopped."
Uh? Does Robert know anything about Al? Or his opponent? Didn't think so. He just saw that Al was a Demo and assumed he was bad.
"The Obama administration is unconstitutionally stripping power"
Examples please.
For sake of time.. Cars, energy policy, China, bla bla bla...
Obama hasn't forced us to drive different cars. We can't control China. We can however, try and do our part.
