I can agree with your position much more than the other guy's position.
Obama's main issue is trying to be "bipartisan" with a minority party that'll do whatever it takes to see him and his party fail. I wish he would have let Health Care reform die on the vine rather than accept the compromise he was able to get in the legislature. A few more years of double digit cost increases, and people losing insurance with their job loss, might have given Congress the incentive it needed to go single-payer.
I just don't get it. The guy is dealing with a plate fuller than any president who's been in office during my lifetime. His campaigning was done before we were advised about how bad the economy was.
Personally, I'd prefer he stay concentrating on the economy and financial reform for now. That can do the greatest good for the greatest number of Americans. The fact that he is also taking steps on other issues is heartening.
It makes me think that once the economy is on the mend that Obama can turn back to his campaign promises instead of damage control and clean-up.
I guess I just don't get the Obama hate. Did you really think he was liberal? He was like Clinton 2, and for all his flaws that I knew then and the flaws I'm discovering now...I still would not have voted for McCain/Palin.
That's a form of gay rights, wouldn't you say? They haven't managed to completely level the playing field for gay people yet, as was done for women and blacks *cough* so they are just like the Republicans?
Education is a crusty old app that has way more problems than working only in IE, but what other products are you working with that won't work with FireFox? Surely there will be an exception for those who's customers require the use of non-FireFox compatible software.
We didn't invade Iran like McCain promised. We're not staying in Iraq for "100 years if need be " as McCain promised. DADT is going away. He's gotten the federal gov't to lay off pot users where states have allowed pot us.
Obama is a moderate, we knew that when he campaigned, he was just the lesser of two evils.
Without regulation, those with the most wealth have the best chance of making even more wealth. Markets are not necessarily closed systems, but you can't just throw "growth" at the issue of wealth migrating into the hands of a few.
So your very first statement, which seems to put all blame for 'uncompetitive' markets on government regulation, sounds simplistic and even a bit troll-like.
That is really cool! Sadly CL&P doesn't seem to offer anything near that. In fact, the way I'm billed, it doesn't seem to matter what time of the day I use the power...it's the same rate. The off/peak power billing plan only makes sense for people who use a ton of power. Despite all my computers, fish tank, tortoise house...still under 800 Killowatt hours a month. Maybe it's time to review their offerings.
Variable Peak Pricing requires me to buy my electricity from CL&P instead of from the company that uses all renewable tech to generate.

We do not need to remove them. Regulations keep the playing field more even. Without them we'd see most of the wealth of this country flow up to a select few.
My furnace is old and in need of replacement so It makes more sense to replace the aging device than to pile other systems on top of it.
My major concern is environmental impact. The workers get paid well for the risks they take and they can quit if they wish. We can't quit from an oil spill.
I don't see a problem with boycotting the whole chain. Each link contributes and each link takes profit.
I'm planning to move to natural gas for home heat. Yeah, there are still problems with nat gas drilling but over all much lower environmental impact than oil.
I share your optimism. I hope that the victims never tire of reminding us what happened in the Gulf. We as a nation have a pretty short attention span.
I suppose that could be true. But it seems like everything they described could be done in IRC nearly two decades ago. I'm guessing the traditional IRC user and the traditional army recruit had less in common back then.
All of the features described in this article were available long before the arise of 'social networking' and 'web2.0'. You just needed a dedicated application. Smells like someone's trying to pimp their war.
Wow. That was a bunch of awesome talking points condensed into one post.
It really is sad that the Demcorats caved into the ranting white trash who wanted revenge for 9/11. Even though 9/11 was mostly revenge for our decades of meddling in the Middle East.
But go on with those tired talking points. Let the right-leaning Americans die for lies in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And that's not just because Civ5 is coming out soon...

I think I've been trolled.

*shrug*
Who started two useless wars that are killing off dumb kids? Not Obama!
What is your point? His "thinking isn't fresh"? I reject your goal-post movement and exit your rant-space.
Cool story, bro! Your one-note anti-Obama posts are pretty boring, so I didn't bother to read this latest one.
No good will come of that, just a second Iraq. They're going to get nukes no matter what we do.
Constitution is optional these days if the people are scared enough about something.

Our major exports seem to be food and IP.

I'm guessing these retailers aren't giving back to anyone like RedHat does.

Oh well, take one for the team and all that.

So vote Republican.
