As a Mom of three grown children, I gave them several chances to heed my warning before I disciplined them. I have tried my hardest to believe the best of President Obama with his adoreable family, but I can no longer believe his WORD. My father a WWII POW taught me that 'Your WORD is the most important thing you posess.' A man is only a good as his WORD.

Sure, let the government regulate executive compensation, why not? Then after that they can regulate all our wages along with the way we dress. what we read and what we view. Hey! I've got an idea why doesn't the government just cancel all prime time TV programming and allow only government approved programming. I can just see it now. We could have all the networks featuring "An Evening With Uncle Barak". I can just see it now Chairman Obama sitting by the White House fireplace reading the...

Phony growth numbers out this morning reflect only the give away programs for cars and houses that were included in these numbers. Car dealers, since the Cash for Clunkers expired, report a spongy market. And the same for houses as reported yesterday. What we nee are more 4 year olds by homes for the first time. Wait until each state raises taxes and the healthcare bill goes through and triples your insurance premiums and the commercial realestate rollover defaults along with a new surge in...

How dare the DNC use the graffiti Flag commercial. I'm in a wheelchair because I fought for our freedom and our Flag. How dare you! And then your President (he doesn't represent me), whom raises money for the DNC, has the audacity to salute our fallen soldiers and the Flag they gave their lives defending. HOW DARE YOU!

U.S. Marines are taught a mnemonic based on letters P.P.P.F.P. which means "Prior Planning Prevents Faulty Performance." What PLANS DOES OUR PRESIDENT have for Afghanistan? He doesn't have a clear plan, in my opinion. And if anyone says anything then, the DNC belittles and demonizes you for doing so.

As the Chief of State, the President makes treaties. In December, President Obama wants to sign a TREATY that takes away our Soverneignty and makes us into a 'One World Government.' Would this 'treaty' be binding by law? Can a President usurp the U.S. Constitution which is the Supreme Law of the land?

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Our President without the 'Consent of Congress' intends to sign away our Liberty with the stroke of a pen. He is determined to usher in One World Government by signing a treaty with the world. HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THIS AMERICAN! Congress, do your job and reign in this president now!

"Hurrah Monica Crowley!" You stuck to your guns in debate and made it clear that the American Public do NOT WANT THE PUBLIC OPTION! This TV view is proud that you didn't let your guest 'Spin you.' Great Job, Monica Crowley! You did Good!

"A Wise man changes his mind; a Fool never." [Proverbs] This is why Reid, Pelosi, and our president keep foolishly going back to the "Public Option." They lack WISDOM!

We need to wake up to healthcare. All those age 35 and above. Don't sacrifice your healthcare reform, because what it will do to your parents. Their Medicare is going to be cut and who is going to make up the difference? You are! All because of your selfishness for healthcare reform. Can you not see Obama is going to put that burden on you and your wallet because they are going to cut 450 billion from Medicare to reform your healthcare. And if you think it is a free, no cost ride,...

General McChrystal made it clear to the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces on August 30, 2009 that he needed more troops. I thought Obama was being indecisive or stalling for time; even delaying. However, I believe that he is testing the strength of the Executive Branch. As a child tests his mother so he is testing how far and how much he can get away with.

Gerald is so happy that people are flooding over the border and breaking U.S. Laws, Why? I think a Civil War is about to break out soon.

FOX got in the way of Obama's Grandiose Plans of Change. "Cheap Goods are sold in a hurry" [an old adage]. It means worthless trash is sold quickly before they are discovered to be of NO Value. But America is waking up and I believe we need to set a fire under the 525 members of Congress. Do your job or YOU WILL BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE.

Anyone with a lick of Sense can see that President Obama is in a "FAST PACE MODE." He is on a TimeLine which will totally bring America to her knees in SURRENDER. Obama's plans were thwarted when CZAR Van Jones was canned and Fox News exposed the corruption of ACORN. It is why Obama sent out his KNIGHTS in this Chess Game meaning Axelrod and General Emanuel. Oh isn't he a General? He sure seems to act like he knows more than General McChrystal and Secretary Gates. FOX got in the way of...

Who the hell does he think he is? President Obama keeps running right over the Legislative Branch of Government. There are 435 House REPs & 100 Senators who need to reign in the Executive Branch. Do your d@mn Job, Congress! We have a U.S. Constitution which is the Supreme Law of the Land; not Obama! Have you NEVER WONDERED why he is in such a rush, rush, rush & hurry, hurry, hurry Mode? I'll tell you WHY.

Regulation the pay of all professions is a good step. This will help us to control the monetary system long enough to ween the "educated" professionals off the riches teet. At the same time we need to tax the rich and redistribute it to the hourly workers in order to slowly get everyone to about the same level and away from the pay for contribution model that has all but destroyed us.

[The Love of Money] is the root of all evil. Why do We the People need a Pay CZAR? We don't! The Cabinet is a group of advisors to the President of the U.S. The Senate MUST APPROVE all Cabinet Members. This is why President Obama chooses CZARS because the Senate would NOT APPROVE the far Left, radical, socialist CZARS. Will Congress allow the Executive Branch to replace the Senate, I wonder?

The Health Care bill will be the deciding factor in whether this Nation-- stands as 'One Nation under God' or 'a nation who will submit to G20/European Rule. I pray we have enough people in Congress who want this great nation of ours to stay a Sovereign. Preserve our FREEDOM. Amen. "The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to RESTRAIN THE GOVERNMENT -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."

@Sandy - Take a Chill Pill! I am tired of the Snakeoil Salesmen on TV trying to peddle snakeoil {Flu Vaccines}. Aesop Fable - The Fisherman: * A Fisherman went to a river to fish, and having laid his nets across the stream, he used a stone and a long cord to beat the water in order to drive the fish into the nets. A cottager who lived close by came and complained that the Fisherman was disturbing the stream and making the water too muddy to drink. "I am sorry that this bothers you,"...

There was a quick story about Ambulance Services wanting to charge for transporting Obese patients. The Anchor ( I don't know her name) Started the story by saying "You aren't going to like this!" Well, to educated oneself before making these kind of judgemental comments is usually what FOX does and I thought that comment was not in line with the balance I usually hear on FOX. I work for a family owned private ambulance service and have since I was 18 and able to become an EMT...
