Public Plan Facts

The State of Our Union

With the President poised to deliver his first State of the Union before a nation battered by massive job losses, months of political wrangling over health reform and a future that doesn’t seem as certain as it once was, it seems that the toll is setting in.

Case-in-point: A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll release yesterday found that only three in ten Americans say they want Congress to pass legislation similar to the health care reform bills that have already been approved by the House and Senate. The survey also indicated that nearly half the public, 48 percent, would like federal lawmakers to start work on an entirely new bill, and 21 percent feel Congress should stop working an any bills that would change the country’s health care system.

We have had enough Washington Democrats and hope that the President can show us this evening that he is listening.

    1. Get rid of NAFTA, and all other harmful things that have sent all our manufacturing jobs (and the office jobs that were available in the manufacturing plants) overseas. Put LARGE tarriffs on anything being shipped in. This will bring more manufacturing jobs back to the US.

    2. QUIT SPENDING MONEY - NO BAIL-OUTS - NO FREE RIDES - PEOPLE MUST PAY THEIR OWN WAY - OR DO WITHOUT!

  2. Tim slater says:

    I would like to hear that he is resigning, quitting, going back to wherever he’s from.

  3. Joyce says:

    I hope the president says that he’s changed his opinion of the Constitution….. I hope he says that he now feels that its our beloved document instead of “a flawed document”. Then I hope he renews his oath to honor, protect and defend our Constitution.
    I hope he says that he hears Us, the People. He also has to tell me that he believes that charging our future to our grandchilden is a crime…. that we need to leave to our children, a better country than was left to us. He needs to hear us in that we believe we’re headed down a path to rapid destruction.

    This guy doesn’t know what he is doing. His agenda is NO PLAN. He doesn’t give a dam what WE THE PEOPLE have to say. His most consistent program is to REVERSE each day whatever he proposed the previous day. H e is an egomaniacal, narcissistic dud. And he doesn’t have the courage to admit it. The best thing he could do for this country is to take pelosi,reed, durbin, dodd ,biden and all his other progressive idiots to a place where they are unable to continue commiting to the demise of our nation over the next three years. He will do Nothing tonite but say more WORDS! That’s all he ever does….SAY WORDS! He’s making jimmy carter look like George Washington.

  5. Herman Williams says:

    We expect to hear more and more lies, re how he is going to solve
    the problems he “inherited” from President Bush. In my opinion,
    President Bush was 1000 percent a better president than this guy
    will ever be. He is a disgrace to this great country. I am persuaded
    to think he is out to destroy the American way of life. Thanks for
    giving us “true” Americans a voice.

  6. Jo Ann says:

    I wish he would restrict the use of the word ” I” and “me”. I also wish, if he starts lying again, the Republicans would all stand and turn their backs in silence. I doubt if the message would penetrate.

  7. Debbie Pavon says:

    I hope he will do what is right for this country and resign.

  8. sitdowndumb says:

    Personally he and his admin. owe the American people ESP. the conservatives,tea party movement and others an apology. (We won’t hear it). He also has to stop campaigning and lead. He talks the talk, but can’t walk the walk. He had 8 years while the dumbs blamed everything imaginable on Pres. Bush, yet he did nothing, came up with no solutions, and he stills blames Bush. He has to come down off his high horse and understand that America is the finest country in the world. He makes fun of people who drive trucks, yet, without them, where would we be. He is a sham and his “legacy” will be a stain on our great country.

  9. Vince Dees says:

    unless Obamadroid announces his resignation…there is little else I would welcome…whatever he says other than “he is resigning”…will just be more rhetoric piled on top of bonafide lies…..he is an evil soul….

  10. Thomas says:

    That he can take the blame for anything would be an amazing change, and that he will uphold and defend the Constitution and not run from it. That he will admit that he (and Congress) need to get out of the way, stop regulating and let business run. It is the only way we are going to get back to any reasonable economy.

  11. George says:

    This whole exercise is about CONTROL folks! The ONE and his socialist friends want to control me and you and you and you. Their attitude? To hell with the Constitution. And the CONTROL is all about MONEY! If anyone owes anyone enough, that anyone owns the other anyone. In 1832 Rothschild said, “Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.” The Fed, a private corporation partly owned by foreigners, issues and controls our money supply. WE, the people, owe trillions and trillions of $’s.

    Tonight, the ONE will tell us about more control of schools where kids can be indoctrinated. The ONE will tell us about debt, most of which the ONE and his lackeys have created. Face it folks, the ONE isn’t interested in us, the people, except in the sense that we should serve him and his interests. The ONE wants to disarm us, socialize us, equalize and indexed us in misery and silence and eliminate voices of dissent. The ONE is the enemy. I refuse to listen to his blathering.

  12. sirmio says:

    The State of Our Union? hum, with each administration of either party there has been a continuous decay of our beloved Country. Too much power play and personal agendas coninue to precipitare not only our Economy but our Morals and Ideals. We need to speak up by voting out career politicians in the first place! God, Country, Family and Honor is a thing of the past except for some of us out here struggling and fighting for survival. No matter who is President, voted in Senate or Congress we continue to get and accept lip movement of promises immediately forgotten after election. No laws should be passesd at the expense of the People of the United States! The People should always come first beginning with appreciating and taking care of our Soldiers, Veterans and their Families. Our Elderly and Disabled contributed much to making America what it used to be known in the world. Toady everyone hates us, take from us and dump us when we cannot pay, give and be taxed.
    I expect nothing good until there is an immediate showing of Patriotism and Fairness on the part of Legislators and the President.

  13. Paul says:

    Obama needs to realize that being the president of the U.S is not
    the same as being a community organizer.
    That running a country is not about redistribution of wealth

  14. littlemickey3 says:

    Hanging his hat with Pelosi proved what side he was on. Healthcare for the illegals brought down California. Wasn’t this supposed to be paid by the offset of oil subsidies? If one remembers, his plan on his website (before) elections was only an outline. I tried to find out exactly what his plan was then and it was never posted. Ytube has this healthcare bill on its site and is very descriptive–includes the pdf for the text. And what about those “Cadillac” programs? So what. Those fortunate enough to have that coverage deserve it. Try working in 120 degree heat for 12 hrs a day and 7 days a week. If it were not for the long term benefits, why would one work under those conditions (I didn’t work there but think they deserve reward for the price they paid)

  15. Harry Jabaay says:

    No matter what he says, do we think we can believe him???

  16. Bill Adkins says:

    Why did it take the “super intellect” a year to hear and see the needs of citizens for honest work from prtivate industry? How does he overcome the many times he has reneged on what he said?

  17. Gordon says:

    I pretty much agree with the people who have wrote before me. I won’t listen to him because of his arrogant and lying ways.

    What I want him to do is admit he is a raghead. Then we can get rid of him. Of course , then there is Biden.

  18. Linda says:

    If only the people that thought they HAD elected THE ONE, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now. Obama came out of Oprah’s show as one of her frequent visitors. He did speak with a smooth and upbeat manner about what should be changed. the problem is, he didn’t really tell the whole story and let everyone know what “change” meant. It is kind of like Clinton’e comment during his impeachment trial - “It all depends on what ‘is’ IS.” We didn’t know anything about what change was until he was elected.
    The whole answer to his campaign can be found not in what he said but looking carefull into where he came from and whose company he kept. “If only” are some of the most regretful comments to be found.

  19. Donna in Texas says:

    I would like to hear:
    1. The current Government Health Plans are no longer on the table.
    2. That the government from President on down were working full time on getting our people back to work. This means Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.
    3. Tax Breaks for the average citizens and families and for Small Business (they are the back bone of our economy).
    4. Let’s take care of our elderly, infirmed, and the poor, and stop aid and welfare to the Illegal Immigrant’s, my people came thru Ellis Island and learned English, why are immigrants special?
    5. STOP the spending binge. Our government has been spending money like a drunk Cowboy on Saturday night.

  21. Sally Vose says:

    I hope he quits!! Barring that, I hope that he would stop bashing our great country, abide by the U.S. Constitution, and defend “we the people” not our enemies. Admit that we are at war with Islamist radicals and be man enough to call them “terrorists”!!

  22. I would hope he would resign!! Their is nothing he could say that I would beleive!

  23. Dare I hope for a resignation? How about a promise to go back to Chicago and quit politics? (I have friends in Chicago. I don’t want them hurt.) I’d be very happy with an admission that he doesn’t know what the hell he is doing. How about admitting that he never became a citizen and so he can’t hold the office anymore? Oh why am I kidding myself? There’s no hope.

  24. John Fahy says:

    He should acknowledge what every one in the country not residing in downtown Big City knows, that his Year One has been at best a disappointment and at worse a bust. He needs to ‘fess up or his last three years will be less than the mediocre he is so leery of. It appears however - based on his own words - that he is satisfied to be a one-term president (small “p” on purpose) - because clearly, being on the Government payroll the rest of his life is the perfect solution for a dedicated and committed Socialist/Commie.

  25. tony justice says:

    It is the same old same! More lies, and blaming the Bush administration for all his troubles. He will now start pointing his finger at his own party. We patriotic Americans know it’s his fascist approach to “change will can believe in.” I don’t trust him and I won’t believe anything he will say tonight. His first year of failures… wasting he time on government control health care while job loses went from 8% to 10+%. His main objective is to become another Hugo Chavez.

  26. Sheryl Snow says:

    No more LIES and deception! We the People will no longer tolerate Obama’s brand of transparancy. Bring our country back to Constitutional law and absolutes rather than progressive “change” that tears at our core values and subverts our rights through back-door policies.

    Millions will be watching the sorry state of our union tonight and we will listen to every word spoken. We are much more aware and alert than last year. This administration can count on the power that We the People possess and will express said power this coming November should Obama and ilk return to socialism.

  27. Roysie says:

    First off dummy….here is a flash…I drive a pickup, and I vote !!!!
    The state of the union piece should be quick….Were Screwed !
    His list of accomplishments should be fairly quick..most tv appearances, most speaches, most golf games, most money flushed down the toilet etc
    Im sure the rest will be all about what he inherited (cant beat that dead horse enough).
    Withall the money he spent..you would have thought he would have at at least bought a clue as to what is going on. The man is so full of himself, everything else is of secondary concern.
    Say what you want about Bush, he got us through 911..Bummy couldnt get us through a failed crotch bomber !!!!

  28. Larry says:

    I will not bother to watch this demigod give yet ANOTHER speech where he blames Bush and the Tea Party people and all those who oppose his socialist-communist agenda! It is going to be the same old-same old crap he’s been spouting since the campaign trail. Also, if the public buys ANY of his lies, they, not I, deserve what they get.
    Watch out for Obama coming to the center just for politics as usual to deceive and trick the dumbest of the dumb Americans into believing this lie! Another thing, he, Pelosi and Reid are STILL trying to push through a health care bill, however pared down, and then they can “fine tune” it later. WATCH OUT America are the key words here.
    As far as I am concerned, Obama is a pathological liar and he doesn’t know how to tell the truth because the truth is not in him–that goes for ALL of his Chicago and unions/big business pals too! VOTE them all out is the solution and replace them with people who have a PROVEN track record and even then, watch them like a hawk when they get to Washington.

  29. Bob Stuhlmiller says:

    If he does not resign. I hope that he will begin to view himself as the leader of the United States of America and subserviant to any.

  30. shorething says:

    first year is the paper anniversary thus i would like to see the pre(tender)resident say here are my papers, my college thesises, grades, application papers, funding requests for govt loans/grants, and most of all his transcripts to actually prove that we have “:our first true intellectual” president. just on the aside why is GWB the only idiot to ever graduate fromhavaad even though his grades exceeded those revealed by jfRigginkerry and algore (yes algore is egore and igore’s fat, uglier, stupider brother) really how come?

    please mr totus it’s our paper anniversary show US some paper

  31. dogfan99 says:

    What do I expect to hear tonight? I EXPECT NOTHING BUT MORE LIES AND MORE LIES. PERIOD When will we impeach this SOB?

  32. ROBERT JONES says:

    scrap out thier health plan,kick the damn illegals out of the country,ask for pelosi’s and ried’s resignation

  33. cmm912 says:

    I would like to hear obama say that he is moving to Haiti to become President there. After all, those people could really benefit from redistribution of wealth - and since it seems the only wealthy people in Haiti are politicians, how perfect for THEM to have to pay. And they could really use universal health care there.

  34. Bob, Pa says:

    He should say I freekin resign.

  35. bobrobert says:

    If he says he will force the bill that will be a clear signal that he is a socialist tyrant. All he understands is power. All of us must go back to our representatives and make clear that a yea vote is a vote to turn them out Nov 2010. Support local tea parties.

  36. Arlene says:

    Obama wouldn’t sign the E-Verify three times already so each month over a hundred thousand foreigners got the jobs instead of out-of-work Americans. Obama is a sham and is out to destroy this country. 15 million people out of work and he is giving jobs to foreigners. Now he says he wants to focus on job. This is all BS and fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I saw right through Obama the minute he opened his mouth. He’s in love with himself and for heaven sake, the least he could do as a president is where a tie. He thinks he’s Mr. wonderful but I’d call him Mr. Awful!
    God help us and save us from Obama.

  37. C B Lewis says:

    Obama has never done any thing and he is not going to start tonite. He just don’t have it period. He has a bunch of crooks with him all the time,what else can you expect from some one like this. Tonite will be the night of all lies.What a jeck we have for a leader. MAY GOD HELP US ALL

  39. hank says:

    i’m not watching the state of lies address. can’t stand the lying clown I might watch the rebuttal address from the va. gov He is trying to destroy the seniors that built this great country first by NO cost of living adjustment ,now freezing it for three years.Its tough to just get by now ,what’s next for seniors? Die early?

  40. J says:

    First, he should be impeached, but that won’t work, there too many democrats just like him, the repubs are just as bad, they know exactly what’s going on, and
    won’t tell the American People. I read a post a moment ago about control, and
    that’s is exactly whats going on, the American people is kind of dumb also, they
    want a Dictator in this country…..long time in the making, 40yrs +, we were just
    not paying attention. Just because the Soviet Union faded away, people thought
    that communism was also, not true, they are here and making progress. Yes,
    this country as you and I have known it, in the next 5-10 yrs is going to pass away also, right before your eyes. Thats control. You think speaker pelosi is a
    democrat, not true, she was raise as a Socialist and stiil is, just disguising
    herself as a democrat. all this stimulus money, health care reform, bail-outs
    is all about control. People, when you give billons dollars of taxpayers money
    away, the American People will become hostages to the system, then you will know their Revolution has begun. They may not even know they are doing it,
    until it’s late. Then the gates will close for good on america. You see, when you ly, make it big, people will believe it. It’s make no difference if you vote
    Democrat or Repub, people are in the dark most of the time, just watch the
    fruits the tree bears…. just watch. A quick note: these are his words,” I’m gonna
    get rid of the Constitution, I’m gonna get rid of the Pledge of Allegiance, I’m
    gonna get rid of the National Athem, I’m gonna get rid Bill of Rights, and last
    but least, I’m gonna get rid of the American Flag or Change it….and he will,
    with lots of money, Votes are being bought every day, ask a lot of Senators,
    they like it. May God have mercy on our Souls.

  41. Franny says:

    He will not move to the center as many hope-he is a Marxist and will try to ram through his agenda. I can’t believe the American people elected this man. It is frustrating that myself and many others saw him for what he was and are dragged down with everyone else. The American people are finally waking up-the left is on the run. God save the Republic.
