Hi Baby O!

Whaaaasssup?

It seems you're coming when I'm going lately. I have about an hour before I leave for work. So I get to spend some time with you today.

You have to go to my bio page and read my latest letter to the editors. It's a dandy!

HI JBT!

In response to your comment on the previous thread .......

........... You all most never see a republican here at least not for long.............

If I can get even one Republican to come over to our side I will feel a sense of accomplishment. Just like the campaign, one dollar, one city, one state at a time and before you knew it we were many.

You will find in time time that I am ..... the glass is half full girl ..... so for me one is one more than we had. I never under estimate the power of one!

Good idea. Our country would have only had 9 Presidents thus far under your brilliant age requirement. Man someone should have come up with this idea by now. You would think that in 233 years someone would have realized that over 50 is too old to be President.

Marilyn,
Having a republican 'come over' is like having lightning strike. People can 'come over' but they are not republicans anymore just as the place struck by lightning is not the same once struck.

Anyway, hope we have thunderstorms soon. :)

Actually the private health insurance companies will survive and will perform better with competition from a public health insurance plan.

I have private health insurance coverage now and I plan to stick with it -- but I want it to improve -- competition will do that -- me having a choice will do that.

Christ believed in Health Care for All!!
He healed the Sick!
Dudddd!!
His healing powers are great, but he needs some help from us.
Health Care for all, we need to care for the sick.

Sduncan,

I saw Michale Moore make the same argument Strong Heart did on air. He's only saying that it is the moral thing to do. He's not saying we shouldn't fight for it.

Re: Open Hearts | Report to Admin

I believe we will only get Health Care for all if we stand up and fight for it.
Each one, teach one and we will win this battle.

Hey brother, how are you doing? I'm still recovering from a skin cancer surgery on my upper arm. 4 inch long scar for a half-dollar sized tissue that was removed. Yeah, I have insurance but it's still costing at least a couple grand out of pocket. Wonderful health care system we have, eh?

Nearly six months ago, my administration took office amid the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression. At the time, we were losing, on average, 700,000 jobs a month. And many feared that our financial system was on the verge of collapse.

Not the most imaginative title, but our President has written an op-ed in the Washington Post that is a good read. Looks like education and continued training is going to be the focus of the week.
