Healthcare reform was hardly against the will of the people...while many on the left think it didn't go far eno0ugh and gives too much to the insurance industry, it's hardly against the will of the people. Every major poll showed that a clear majority of people were for healthcare reform and that you and your fellow teabaggers were clearly in the minority. Keep listening to Beck and Limbaugh instead of actually thinking Sam...
Corruption and bribery? Right... If you are so worried about that, how come we didn't hear a peep when Herr Bush granted Halliburton contracts without going through the bidding processes? Or how about those MMS official he hired on that instead of regulating the oil industry, they had sex oil execs instead? Where was the outrage? Oh yeah...you and your fellow ignorant teabaggers are a fucking hypocrites, so there was no outrage. Give me a fucking break Sam. Compromise is when he went with what the majority of the people in this country wanted and gave in to republican demands, even though they fucking lost, just to try and bring them in so there could be a bipartisan bill, and they still fucked him over, when he should have told the republicans to go fuck themselves like a proper Chicagoan would have. Being against taxes and spending are hardly a new thing... Domestic Wiretapping without FASA approval is illegal period. THAT is the law. Any call originating in the US is considered to be domestic regardless of where it's destination is. When did Obama go six months without a news conference? All I remember is the bitching and moaning from Fox and their fascist buddies like Beck and Limbaugh about how he has too many news conferences. Yeah...wake the fuck up Sam and get your head out of Limbaugh's fat ass and see what's really going on.

They were legal. We discussed this endlessly here. The government doesn't need a warrant to tap al Qaeda and if you call al Qaeda expect them to listen in. It's worse now under Obama and it's still not an issue. Who's complaining about it? > I don't think they're getting away with it like the last > administration seemed to.

Public knowledge. :)p Wow, you aren't paying attention. Didn't Obama go six months without a news conference? Did they ever respond to the Fox News question about bribing a Senator with a job to not run again? > And that's the cynical bit in me.

I agree, but > maybe I've just been "spun", so to speak. =) I hope not. Obama's open government initiative failing in a big way ... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/obamas- open-government-initiative-failing-in-a-big-ways-90364464.html > Universal health care is un-american? > > After what went down with the last administration, *this* [insert > incredulous expression] is the "our government is out of control" > moment?!? Your programed outrage is misplaced. Seem like Huffpo want's you to be angry about legal wiretaps but happy about bankrupting our country with a strongarmed health care takeover. This health care system is wrong and most people know it. It's just a few that still thing it's utopia. > I mean, don't get me wrong, we are like, the check on the power of our > government, so whenever is clever... but *now*? Over /this/? Yeah!
