We reach the two year mark in this bad of shape and he'll be a one term President

True, but the poor guy is swimming upstream in that he has inherited a concurrent suite of problems unequalled in your country's history, along with a number of comfortably-entrenched vested-interests who do not want their goalposts relocated !

In Obama you at least have an articulate, intelligent and ethical President inclined to tackle fundamental issues like world peace, equitable health-care and curbing the financial excesses of the Wall Street 'mafia'.

His greatest legacy, though, is likely to trancend all of these in that his efforts and persona have (thus far) retained America's recently fragile position as the world's primary superpower. Look around, competitors are emerging and forming alliances .. and it will take more than military muscle alone to stay on top of the heap from here on in.

Support him, or lose him ... and let the gargoyles take you down another notch or two !

As far as your fears of advances in the medical field being halted by the US as the last industrial country to provide a minimum level of free health care, you might like to read an article positing that such a scenario would increase competition and standards in the private sector.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124580516633344953.html

I guess you might draw some parallels to Rupert Murdoch wanting public broadcasters like the BBC in the UK and the ABC in Australia to stop providing free online news, as it hurts his ability to control and profit. By providing free online news content, public broadcasters act as competition, ensuring certain minimum standards in the private sector.

On a physical level, what's essential for a human being's long-term existence? Water, food, probably shelter, and health care.

If you are poor, disabled, orphaned, mentally ill, or in some other way down on your luck and unable to help yourself, what happens to you? In the current US health care system, that is a scary question.

Most belief systems and philosophies advocate helping the disadvantaged, and a minimum level of publicly funded health care is one reasonable way of administering that help.

The problem with gun control, like drug control, is that no one knows what the right mix is that will benefit society as a whole the most. A lot of bans just ban "mean looking" guns.

Gun ownership by a population can be a deterrent to crime, or it can allow easy access to guns for the crazy. As far as I know, no one who has gone through the trouble of getting legal access to machine guns and silenced guns has ever committed a crime with those weapons.

Pelosi's just a target for stirring the populist pot.

wok - one year in ain't Obama's economy yet, and Pelosi hasn't got a thing to do with it. But it isn't looking good for the Prez. 2009 was terrible and I think 2010 shows promise of being worse. We reach the two year mark in this bad of shape and he'll be a one term President.

'What do you guys think about another, uh, 'stimulus?' It is to LAUGH.

#47: The questions I'd like to ask you: Do you respect their efforts, at least?

I do not. I do not respect effort expended in bad directions. The teabaggers complaints are based on faulty info and is applied inconsistently. (Why did they not protest creeping govt power and fiscal irresponsibility before Jan 2009?)

Do you respect the efforts expended by Hitler and Stalin towards their goals?

I'm going to guess you're aware of what 'teabagging' refers to. Don't you feel a little childish using such a gross, juvenile term?

The Teabag partiers are self-named. Don't blame meg_mac for that.

"But he seemed almost belligerent about being Muslim, and he gave a lecture one day that really freaked a lot of doctors out. They have grand rounds, right? They, you know, dozens of medical staff come into an auditorium, and somebody stands at the podium at the front and gives a lecture about some academic issue, you know, what drugs to prescribe for what condition. But instead of that, he - Hasan apparently gave a long lecture on the Koran and talked about how if you don't believe, you are condemned to hell. Your head is cut off. You're set on fire.

I believe every law-abiding citizen should have the right to own a gun - I won't compromise on that - but I also believe there is absolutely NO REASON for any private citizen to own an automatic weapon - they should be banned.

Let me tell you - if Pelosi (thanks for posting the bill like you promised) and her ilk get this thing passed - it won't just affect healthcare in the US - you'll see the quality of healthcare and the amount of energy dedicated to new medicine and new technology drop QUICK.

Yeah, They are now talking about putting this caliber gun (5.7, which is only slightly larger than a .22 magnum) under a different ATF ban, one that limits the sale or use of to only Law enforcement or military personnel, Somewhat similar to the regulations regarding Automatic ("machine-guns") and suppressed (Silenced) Firearms. The danger with this caliber gun is, that the round it fires can penetrate body armor at over 300 yards. So it could be dangerous if the "bad guys" start using it, like what happened yesterday.

Also, a note on "magazines": Personally, Magazine limits/bans are a infective way to control gun violence, if somebody is going to kill people or persons, they will do it anyway regardless if the magazine holds 2 or 20 rounds. What we need to do is stop creating bans that target law abiding gun owners and start targeting the criminals instead.

Not too much if you work in the military.
Also from Wikipedia ...
The Five-Seven and 5.7x28mm ammunition were the target of brief controversy in the United States in 2004 when it was claimed by the Brady Campaign that commercially available SS192 penetrated a Level IIA vest in testing.
Commercially available variants of the 5.7x28mm cartridge are classified by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as being not armor piercing and it was claimed that the SS192 and SS196 cartridge variants did not penetrate Kevlar vests.
On November 5, 2009, U.S. Army psychiatrist Malik Nadal Hasan opened fire at the Ft. Hood military base, killing 13 and wounding 30. He was reportedly armed with two handguns, one of which was a FN Five-Seven.
The Five-Seven pistol and 5.7x28mm cartridge were specifically targeted for a U.S. federal ban in 2005, which failed.
