Perhaps you forget that the democrats had a super majority for the first 2 years of obama's presidency. That super majority presented a multi-thousand page proposal at the 11th hour that produced "The Affordable Healthcare Act". It was passed without 1 single Republican vote. Please respectfuly keep in mind that the republicans represent 1/2 of the citizens in this country. Previous democrats who persued such a law at least had the courtesy to include ideas from the other side of the isle. Also, if none of this matters to your opinion please remember that most of the democrats who voted for it admitted to never reading it.Quote:

You say you would like to see what the democrats could do with control of government, and I say that we have already seem it.
Being that no photo id was required to vote here does that mean Obama got voted twice by some people
Sadly I've been involved in burying my wonderful brother, grieving for him and supporting his family. It's been a shit few months. He died suddenly and without any prior warning in the prime of his life, leaving a widow and two lovely sons. It's been hellish.Quote:

Thank you. That's very much appreciated. We're a strong family without the issues that bedevil most - my lovely post-op girlfriend from Singapore has been welcomed warmly and with love - and my "profession" allows me to spend plenty of time with them, but if I feel that a neutral ear might help, I'll certainly be in touch. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart.Quote:

I'd like to see us get our economy back on track -even if it helps OMK's stock portfolio (let him prosper if we all prosper) . Sadly that is unlikely to happen under the present austerity cost-cutting regime of the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coaiition. And you Americans will see how very much worse the economy can get if you put the similar but even more extreme party headed by Romney back into power. Bush and his idiots had eight years to fuck your economy up really well. Obama has had only four to begin the job of mending things.Quote:

Sorry Robert, you forget how hard life can be. I know everyone here wishes you the best.
Robert - no need for me to say more regarding your loss. You know you have my profound sympathy
