President Obama is hard at work - working for us, not taking vacation after vacation in hard times as baby Bush did.!
So, how can we help? and in a stay at home easy manner?
Let's get busy with the public opinion polls out there, for instance the CNN polls. CNN has stayed for sometime on the polls about what Obama is doing or thinking of doing. The results are not good!
Make no mistake- these polls push what used to be called op-ed pieces(our polling indicates..).
Right now the CNN home page has yet another "what do you think about Obama" poll.
Please get in there and tick the box FOR President Obama and what he is working hard to get done!
This will push the station and all the producers, editors, staff writers and on-air folks to report the "findings". The far right is using these polls to take down public support for our President!
On the main CNN page is the poll, it will only take you a minute to scroll down and add you vote.
We must stay active!
Here is the link http://www.cnn.com/
Take a look at the unbalanced results and help our dear President!
Pardon Me!
The title of this says a lot. Going to doctors has become quite difficult as they and the health care industry is run by the insurance companies, not the needs of a patient or what the doctor thinks is best for his/her patient but by a huge industry set on making money..only!
The GOP is putting out scarey ideas:
the government wants to take over our private lives
the government wants to kill older people
On and on they go while all the time taking money to work not for the people of this country who elected them but for the money, the power to control our lives and our health care.
Let us tell the truth! What IS a Preferred Provider list but simply a list of doctors in the pockets of the insurance industry? Already we are limited to what tests we can get, what treatments we can obtain and why? Because the doctors themselves have been up for sale and bought.
I just changed doctors because of this reason - a doctor that I must pay up front because he is not on The List. Now, finally, a few simple tests will be ordered to keep an eye on my health. With his help perhaps I will have the correct medication. This is life changing, good intelligent health care. But now my husband and I will be punished by the far to big health care insurance company. Who wants to bet they will not cover simple blood tests? Or new meds that work.
All of this is so wrong and thank God we have a President who is willing to go up against the power and fight for us, the patients.
Here is a link to a CNN Poll on Obama and health care. These stations pay attention! and DO news stories on the stats:

Let's all get together and give our President an A+ !
How great it is to have a working President who is putting his all into the job for all of us.
Get Voting!
This could not have been a better day! Now tomorrow as I hang the American flag out along with the MIA/POW flag I will grin about Palin dropping her job with Alaska.
Some well needed good news.
Bizarre behaviour aside this woman was an embarresment to all of us. Come on! We need women who have a brain to lead the states. What was Alaska thinking putting her in charge anyway??
How in the world did President Obama make the choice of ASU? Our state is deeply Republican...
I wonder if he is doing his best to turn Arizona Dem.?
How great would that be??
Everyone is talking here in Arizona about his coming - this is certainly a good thing!
Any comments?
How amazing that some folks have nothing better to spend their time on than spamming here- nope! do not answer them or comment.
Come On!
Is this Republicans so bitter that they will spend time writting and re-posting many times? Or?
So! to you who are doing this...it does not upset me or others but how about a little volunteer work? or go for a walk, while on that walk pick up a bit of trash.
Life is to precious and to short. Wake Up!
Alright maybe laughing at the Republicans can get addicting! but it is so much fun! They are out of ideas and all they can do is what they have done for decades- Poo Poo everyone elses' ideas!
I feel great that Obama is out there active and working for us.
Who in the world needs Republicans anyway( except for a good laugh now and again). They are the party of anti: anti-women rights, anti gay rights, anti- taxes for the wealthy. They need to chill and get in touch with America- then again they could have done that 30 years ago! to bad.
This swine flu is going to be a bigger story and very soon! CNN devoted enough time to it last night that it scared me greatly. It is being worked on by the CDC to find origins - bet those people are working quite hard. So what do we do?
Any ideas please post!
As an older mother it makes sense for us to wash our hands, and often. Simple? Not really- we go about our lives busy and not thinking. My great aunt who is nearly 95 years young and a nurse for 50 years says washing our hands often is a first line of defense...get into the habit, especially after shopping or being at work.
Next wash fresh produce - do not think that the store has done this for you. After a long grocery shop I am tired and it is more simple and easy just to stuff everything away and go set down. Stop! take the time to rinse your food.
We will hear more soon about this but until then, be safe and smart.
Is anyone else having problems with the elcetric/water/basic phone bills? The electric company is the only one here in Arizona that gives a break for disabled or low income people- but that is taking months to pull together(in the winter).
These companies have and continue to raising rates sky high.
Is there not a way to rein them in??
We have no choice - either these companies or go without!
How I would love to put solar panels in, yet the out lay of money is not possible and I'm not to sure about any tax help beyound that.
The Corporation Commision is useless to the consumer.
Is it not great to wake up knowing we have a President who is working hard for US??
Finally! today we hear about the rail system getting much needed attention.
Any of you old enough to remember when we could travel nearly anywhere by train?
The airline lobbyists put a stop to our trains! What a great system we had- and now to bring it into this century is exciting.
We are in the top part of Arizona - in the believe it or not - I would have to drive to Flagstaff, AZ, get on an AmTrac and go to California in oder to go East! Really! Even though the train comes right back through Flagstaff a person must buy a ticket to California to head the other direction. Strange.
Bet this gets sorted also.
It is so hard to see most of the front page on posts being occupied by the nonsense. So another post is in order.
Back to "Path To Citzenship" or Citzenship part 2.
My post got two great answers. 1. fine the employers and 2. the idea of letting the illegals get away with breaking the law is not good.
Fist of all the illegal problem in Arizona is massive! If a business is busted, they go right back to doing things their way-right away. This is not working.
I am in the top part of Arizona and yet, any given day, there are men standing on street corners waiting- they wait for construction bosses to pull up for two or three or more people. The men get paid cash for whatever hours they work...dangerous on not they must eat/pay rent.
Fining illegals up to $4000. for being here and then saying it is a path to citizenship is unrealistic. They do not have that kind of money.
How about community service? Heaven knows we could use that!
My ancestors were from Scotland, England and France. They came to America for a better life and were willing to work for that life.
Depending on the laws at any time- they changed often, most of them worked to get citizenship. Normally most of them had to 1. be in America 7 years and 2. own land.
Our Latino or Mexican peoples here illegally need to catch a break and become citizens.
Just look at it this way, more taxes will then be paid. Being in Arizona I have seen this problem for decades. Most of the dishwashers and even cook here in Prescott, AZ are not here legally. They are paid in cash and pay no taxes. They also work construction jobs. At any given time they are picked up on a street corner to work for a few hours, yet pay no taxes. WalMart does this all the time! If caught they fill up the jails - learning bad skills on how to get by.
They need the same breaks my people got so many years ago! I have met many Mexican folks- they work hard and take care of families, their yard and live by the laws of the U.S.
I am happy that President Obama is willing to give them a chance - they are for the most part great people. Think about the amount of money put into catching them- this could go away and be used for a better purpose.
What do you think?
Nearly the whole page is a nonsense post, so as I said everytime I see this ..I will post.
hmm, let us see- what is interesting.
How about lost children! Again a 8 year old girl in Cali went missing in a trailer park. Now what would common sense dictate? There is a background to the answer.
Years ago an eight year old in Phoenix went missing- her mother was walking around with her as she collected for the newspapers that she had delivered. The mom stopped to chat outside an apartment building with a friend and left the little girl to go into the building by herself. It was the last time her mom saw her alive.
At the time my girls were very small - I screamed at the t.v. "Look in all the apartments"! but the cops did not. It came out later that the janitor had taken her into his place, tied her up-later abusing her and then killing her. The body was found right there behind a dumpster.
If only they had knocked on doors but further asked politely "May we look around your rooms"? If a person will not let the volunteers or cops look- keep an eye on them or bust in...they do it all the time in emergency.
With all the no search warrants problems - this is top of my list!! Top! Protect Americas' children!
When a small child goes missing they either were taken by car or someone RIGHT THERE has them
Common Sense! What do you think?
Everytime I come here and see long blue nonsense post- I post! Please join me! Do not answer me, make a post of your own in support of our great and wonderful new President who has a brain and uses it!
Do not answer the Blue Meanies- POST and keep it up.
Thank you Mr. President for making us proud once again!
Here is a quote from our President:
"Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous legacies of the Cold War," Obama said in a speech in front of a huge crowd outside the medieval Prague Castle in the Czech Republic. "The U.S. will take concrete steps. ... We will begin the work of reducing our arsenals and stockpiles."
Our hopes and dreams of world Peace can come true with a leader like this.
It seems in a way like just yesterday or a few years ago that I sat on the edge of a chair, waiting to see our President and First lady...and then there they were and my heart filled with pride. How long has it been?
Oh, my! many decades.
Thanks for making me proud again!
Morning! I see the blue meanies are back posting nearly the whole page- let us get busy and out post them! Now!
As far as the budget goes- what did Congress say about baby Bushies' budgets?? not much, just passed them and threw the money in their pockets.
Now they pick, pick, pick at President Obama - who is trying to clean up their mess.
It is easy to be a naysayer, much more difficult to offer constructive ideas.
How great it is to have a person in the highest office in the land who is working for us!
When our girls were 2 and 5 years of age we had a huge garden. I refused to use pesticides etc. and the garden grew anyway! If an enemy of my garden appeared I quickly put up small fencing and let the chickens at that area. worked fine!
On the plus side, a child who gets to work the soil, plant a seed, water it- is then amazed! My! Look! Someing is growing. Guess what? they DO eat their vegetables because they are so proud of having grown them.
As our oldest got old enough to go out by herself I sent her out to pick the vegetable for supper, her choice. She had learned how to tell when anything was ripe and ready. She would come back to the house holding her precious cargo with a great big smile.
Wonder if the grandma living there thought this idea up? It certainly is a good one! Lots of great lessons to be learned.
After just watching our intelligent President speak I must admit I am still surprised....at how sharp he is, at how he explains and takes the time to answer fully a question and at how proud I am to have voted for such a man.
After baby Bush anything would have seemed better, the difference from 5th grade papers to senior year in high school papers, but we have zoomed to the top of the heap.
Knowing that President Obama is actually working in the White House, working for me for you and for our country lets me sleep better, rest easy. Things are hard! for us and others
but the future is here and forming- this is not a President who takes vacations every other week.
Good Job, Mr. President
