Just got this alert from CNN via e-mail.
"Midterm elections confirm Americans are deeply frustrated with pace of economic recovery, President Obama says."
Ya don't say, maybe it also has something to do with that little health care bill you passed earlier this year as well.
My kids rock the flock!
CNN is full of genius.

That is a mantra of the Progressive spin machine! It is not the pace of the "recovery," but instead, the American voters were pissed over the way the Administration and Democrat Congress forced Obamacare, HUGH bailouts/stimulus bills, and cap & tax (passing the House) upon the public. The majority of the public opposed these schemes, as evidenced at last summer's townhall meetings.
THAT is why they paid the price at the polls yesterday.

Yeah, Americans don't like the bill because the bill didn't go far enough! What would you change -- kicking your kids off your health insurance at 21, even though they won't be able to get insurance anyplace else, or perhaps declaring that spousal abuse is a pre-existing condition? What would you change about the bill, or do you not know enough about it other than Obama pushed it through therefore it must be evil incarnate?
How's that hope and change working for ya?

The people who voted it in still don't know what exactly is on the thing.
Obama should have worked solely on the economy and left health care alone for another time.
Last night was a 70 year *** kicking.
Lyndon Johnson was told the same thing about the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act back in 1964 and 1965.
You're comparing free health care to civil rights?
How about free mortgages?
Yew bechta! And don't cloud the issue by calling health care "free" because it comes from the government. There are a lot of American companies that would like to provide health insurance to their employees, but can't, because they would no longer be competitive with foreign companies (like companies in CANADA) where the government provides health insurance to all citizens.
And as for mortgages, do you think what the banksters did to the American people is hunky dory? I want the banksters locked up for all the long-term damage they did to the American economy, not to mention the world economy.

By Julian Pecquet - 11/02/10 11:00 PM ET
Democrats who voted for their party's signature domestic achievement dropped like flies throughout the evening, adding credence to Republicans' claim that the American public wants them to repeal healthcare reform.
The law's proponents read the writing on the wall early on and acted quickly to pre-empt that impression.
"American voters’ focus during the elections was overwhelmingly on jobs and the economy, and this will remain the key public concern until the economy substantially improves," Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, said in a 10:30 p.m. statement. "As pre-election polls reflect, calls to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are not supported by America’s voters — and they certainly were not the motivating factor in the elections."
The evening started pretty well for Democrats who voted for healthcare reform, with Rep. John Yarmuth of Kentucky handily winning reelection with 54.5 percent of the vote. Yarmuth's seat was listed as "likely Democratic" in the Nov. 1 edition of The Cook Political Report, one of 77 "yes" vote seats in play Tuesday evening.
Things quickly went downhill from there.
Within hours, a dozen members had lost reelection, including four freshmen elected in the 2008 Democratic wave: Reps. Tom Perriello and Glenn Nye of Virgina and Suzanne Kosmas and Alan Grayson of Florida.
They weren't alone: Democratic Reps. Baron Hill (Ind.), Carol Shea-Porter (N.H.) and Allen Boyd (Fla.) quickly joined them. So did Pennsylvania Reps. Kathy Dahlkemper, Chris Carney and Paul Kanjorski, all of whom were main targets of the anti-abortion-rights group the Susan B. Anthony List.
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), who voted for the bill when her vote was crucial but later voted no on reconciliation, was also defeated.
The trend is even worse when factoring in yes votes who weren't running for reelection.
Retiring Rep. Bart Gordon (Tenn.) left Democratic candidate Brett Carter to get pulverized by Republican Diane Black, 29.3 percent to 67.5.
Democrats did, however, pick up Republican Rep. Joseph Cao's seat in Louisiana. Cao had voted yes on the bill in November — the only Republican to do so — but changed his vote when the bill returned before the House in March.

Notice the Progressive propagandist used the same message - Americans were concerned about the economy,not Obamacare?
Sounds like someone has been/is involved in spreading the new message about the Obamacare debacle! Talking points galore!!

Why should they be required to be covered on YOUR plan past 18? They are adults and can purchase their own health insurance. If insurance companies want to underwrite policies then that is fine but don't make them just because the mob thinks everyone should go to college and live off their parents teet.What would you change -- kicking your kids off your health insurance at 21
I was wondering when someone would see that as well
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

Are they "required" to be covered, or are they "allowed" to be covered until 26? I turned 26 before it took effect, so I have my own policy anyway.

What about the kids who CAN'T GET insurance after they turn 18 or 21? Face it dude, it happens. Kids who had cancer as a child usually have an impossible time getting insurance when they become adults. Do you think that's a good thing? What is your solution? I guess you're one of those "I've got mine, screw eveyone else" American.
Yes.Do you think that's a good thing?
There isn't a solution because it's not a problem. People die. Spending billions of dollars of other people's hard earned money to simply delay this fact is stupid. Folks die, it sucks, but just like a dumb kid with a strong back should falter in school and get a job as a bricklayer, folks can and will die.What is your solution?
It's a fact of life.
People don't know what it is to be a champion.
Oklahoma INVENTED it.
