Actually that isn't even close to being true. Have you even seen the health statistic. The US ranks far down the list yet pays substantially more than many other countries. Try again.

Dependent on too many factors to blame "health care" only.

That's called "get them off their fat asses and stop feeding them so much".

That's called "don't watch football, play it."

That's a problem for a prosperous country.

It's a problem I'm glad we lead the world in.

Let me guess...

....she ran a poor campaign....she was a bad candidate...she couldn't spell the name of the state she was campaigning in...she smelled like one too many donkey shows...she didn't have a truck...she was outspent...she was arrogant...

...almost certainly the left won't say "she lost because of Healthcare".

The reality?

She lost because of the healthcare issue.

Do those statistics include the millions of babies murdered each year before they're born?

Wow. Millions of American babies are murdered each year and you're not out in the streets trying to stop it.

Why not? Why do you allow the murder of Millions of babies in our country? Does the rest of the world know of this tragedy?
 
Obama is either backing off because he's smart enough to realize the repercussions of jamming the bill through before Brown is seated, or the democrats plan on using reconciliation to jam it through after he is seated, or both.

I could be wrong, but I just can't imagine that Obama is moving to the center and respecting the wishes of the American people. He is surrounded himself with too many far-left radicals, that would never accept such a compromise.


Not having read all the comments, I hope I haven't repeated what someone else has said.

Or, as Alex Trevek says, your answer should be in the form of a question.

Trevek:
"The answer is: A politician who cut his teeth on the gritty politics of the Chicago machine and associated with radical, left winged terrorists in the 1970s"







Buzz!
"Who is Obama?"




Trevek: "That is correct!"

What planet are you from? Do you ever hear of Roe V Wade?

Infant Mortality -- United States, 1990
Click to expand...

I'm sure that it's an oversight that you failed to mention that almost every country in the world counts infant mortality differently than the U.S. Other countries have strange rules to determine if an infant was ever legally alive. Switzerland requires that babies be at least 30 cm in length or it is not considered living. This obviously leaves out many preemies.

Also, do you really think stats from 20 years ago are relevant??

Talk about cherry-picking stats - Did you bother to read the full report?

Yes, people with good coverage are generally happy.

But keep reading...

Talk about missing the point. Did you bother to read what I was responding to?

You acted in disbelief when told that most Americans like their coverage. I provided two different polls to prove that it was correct.
 
But he did not mention the House. As far as his choice of the word "ram", wasn't that the single most point we all objected to? The libbies put a two thousand page piece of unknown on the table and simply said, "vote yes on it and don't you dare read it"?

"Lame duck" is what Obama means in the muslim language.
