Don't be hard on yourself. You didn't have a crystal ball he'd say that. However you did have two other choices Aug. 7.

He HAS been denounced by the Republican party.

Senate Minority Leader (and part-time turtle impersonator) Mitch McConnell
RNC Chairman Rrrrrrreince Prrrrrrriebus
Karl Rove's Crossroads PAC and Crossroads GPS
MA Sen Scott Brown
MO Sen Roy Blunt
Former MO Sens John Ashcroft, Kit Bond, John Danforth, and Jim Talent
ME Sen Olympia Snowe
NH Sen Kelly Ayotte
NC Sen Richard Burr
WI Sen Ron Johnson
TX Sen John Cornyn, head of the National Republican Senate Committee
The Tea Party Express
WI Rep Paul Ryan, Republican VP nominee
Former MA Gov Willard "Mitt" Romney, Republican presidential candidate

He does, however, have the support of:

The Family Research Council
MO Sen Claire McCaskill

So there's that.

Do you know what percentage of people disagree with the Affordable Health Care act because it didn't go far enough? I thought not.

The more I learn about the Affordable Care Act the more I like it. For example, insurance companies have to reimburse customers if they don't use most of our premiums on healthcare. This will reduce wasteful spending on ads and bonuses.

Sonny:
Wait till the "TAXES" start on the "Obama-Health-TAX act"
No one denies "liking" what it Offers.

You will not like what it will cost. It will not come Free.
F/Y/I
The reimbursement does not come from your premiums not being used.
It comes from an 80%-20% formula.
The insurance company must spend 80% of all their premiums on Health care. Not your premiums. That means anyone using 100% of their premiums can steal it from your premiums.
That formula means that "Health care costs could rise without any control"
They could rise to 90% and the Insurance xompany WILL raise your premiums to cover the shortage.
A government trick to make sure you will always pay 20% of the CEO's wages.
You will also pay the higher doctor bills because the insurance company will not care about paying the costs up to 80%.
It's a sham.
If you have an employer who starts paying the enormous health care costs to support the Obama-Health-TAX-act, your job could be in jeopardy.
All this starts in 2014. So if you think a measely $100 check is the future, you are wrong.
It's a LURE!

How did I miss this yesterday and I just can't resist - Jimmie you might be able to get that "condition (bigballs)" looked at under the ACA!

The Right wing latched onto hating Obamacare, for a variety of predisposed reasons, amongst them-the Birther thing didn't work out. I know, I know, the budget and mandates blah blah blah. Where was the right wing dissent on the prescription drug bill, or the unfunded costly Iraq War?

D Walker is correct, Obamacare didn't go far enough and many people are not happy that he caved on expiring tax cuts for the wealthy in order to get GOP to help pass Obamacare.

The can't be denied insurance due to pre-existing condition part of Obamacare is great, and can not be enacted soon enough. It is the downright Christ-like thing to do.

RDBet: A right-wing issue -huh?
Obama-care does not have any care in it.

It is a"tax" formerly called a "fee".
It is a tax to --Buy Medical Insurance.
Medical insurance is Not Health-care
(Only doctors and nurses, and Rx and hospitals can provide Health-care.)
( services & products Govt cannot offer.)
So once again society is scammed by a Government that tells people "We are providing access to health care", when in fact every living American already has access. Affordability? Robbing a bank also offers affordability.
Missourians pay 50% medical insurance premiums.compared to (NY& Calif).
Do you want to share in NY and Calif Medical costs? That's exactly what this Obama-health-Tax does.

Let's not mislead the readers here, the Tax-Fee on the costs of this health TAX act will be borne by the poorest of poor. The neediest people who cannot afford health insurance will be paying for it through everything they buy. They will be the first on another unemployment trend.
"You can't legislate intelligence" You can't give the needy anything free unless it comes from CHARITY!
Keep this memo and I assure you that medical costs, Inflation, and interest rates, energy, Gasoline prices, will reach astronomical proportions starting in 2014.

Oh! It offers great things we all want!

Mike:
Obamacare did not go far enough? you say.
The voters did know that: It was expressed in the year 2010 House takeover.

Joan just look at Mitt's record when he was governor of Ma. hes going to be siding with the Demos anyway. If you look at his record he was more liberal then Obama.

The Lord works in mysterious ways...

Maybe your info should have been shared with women of Bosnia and Rwanda who were raped/forcefully impregnated as part of ethnic cleansings.
------------------------------------------------
Debra - haven't you got the memo -that defense of Akin has been abandoned - it's now about either getting Akin to step aside (I say lure him with some Chick-fill-a) or going on a counter-attack with -McCaskill advocates killing babies!!!Obama and his global socialist Marxist agenda!!!!"

Sorry to say it, but comments such as yours only increase the chances of despised McCaskill getting re-elected (even in Missouri).

Legitimate rape? That is the old white guys way of saying that the woman often deserved to be raped. By dress or by flirting or by well you would have to ask Todd. This is the same guy that considers the Morning After Pill an "abortion" pill. Matters not to him that it merely delays ovulation. Oh and he also doesn't think it should be used in cases of rape or incest. The man is simply an idiot.

That's right...hang in there Todd and win the battle but lose the war. I didn't vote for him but just enough non-attention paying Republicans and Democrats did. There were predominant Democrat precincts that ran out of Republican Primary ballots because the Democrats wanted McCaskill to go up against Akin and not Steelman or Brunner therefore voting across Party lines. And now he's playing right into their hands. With each new interview he does he digs his hole deeper and deeper. It's shameful. He's almost as bad as Biden just in a sweeter way.

Debra -I did read your comment, as I have read Gina V's comment http://eureka-wildwood.patch.com/articles/rep-todd-akin-on-hot-seat-over-legitimate-rape-comment-in-fox2-interview#comments -she was backing up Akin's "legitimate rape " claim that the shutting down process occurs when the female is truly non- particapatory.

On the second part of your comment - perhaps you should be directing your ire towards Akin's friends, consituents, and co-writer of abortion legislation in the GOP. Romney, Paul Ryan and virtually all of the GOP now have said Akin is wrong, and should step aside. They are the political bosses.

Look, I have no doubt that there are some natural things that occur in females that make a rape pregnancy less likely than from consensual sex. One can also surmise that natural things occur on the male side that can make rape pregnancies less likely. What's it matter regarding Akin? -his concept of legitimate rape is false, as are many other of his views like liberalism is hatred of God.

I intended to type "he said what he meant."

Mike: You say "do you think the morning after pill is an "abortion" pill.

If there is no science to support AKIN's comment, then would you please provide the science supporting "The morning after pill --is an abortion pill?"
If it's neither, than why take the "mornig after pill".
It certainly must do something? I think pot destroys the brain. Is there any science supporting that? I think birth control pills --destroy the natural functions of the woman body., leading to many more medical problems and costs in woman.

I believe birth control pills contribute to the single most expensive Health care of woman.
Now there is much science about that--But you would ignore that science of studies, because YOU DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT.
So let's just say-if there were valid science in support of Akin remark, you would strive for any rebuttal you can.
Facts are also science. Since the birth control pill advocates state how much in saves in "medical for unwanted babies" may I also say the Pill has added $Trillions
in extra woman problems that result in taking Pills.
ALL PILLS HAVE MAJOR CONSEQUENCES ON ONES BODIES.
Look at all the commercials- and Disclaimers.

Paul - one thing I've learned is to try not to give a conservative a science lesson. For some reason they don't take. Instead of thinking you understand a subject do a little reasearch. Google is your friend. Your comments about birth control bills make absolutely no sense. I'm not completely sure what point you were trying to make but there's this from Planned Parenthood. Millions of women around the world have taken the pill since the FDA approved it in 1960. It has been the most scrupulously tested medication of our time.

Countless women take the pill from adolescence through perimenopause. Many stopped taking the pill only when they wanted to become pregnant and started taking it again after giving birth. Women not only rely on it for contraception but for menstrual regularity and other benefits. These benefits include

less menstrual flow and cramping
less infection of the fallopian tubes (pelvic inflammatory disease), which often leads to infertility
fewer ectopic pregnancies (those in a fallopian tube)
fewer noncancerous breast growths
fewer ovarian cysts
reduced risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus and of the ovaries
less iron-deficiency anemia that results from heavy menses
less acne
fewer premenstrual symptoms, as well as related headaches and depression
protection against osteoporosis — loss of bone mass
The fact is that over the long term, use of the pill has offered many health benefits to millions of women worldwide.

Debra, you're an enabler. You'll excuse this lazy, inefficient, screw-up, expecting retirement on MY dime to your dying breath. Why? You think he's honest? Has two addresses so his butt's covered in two congressional districts in case he's gerrymandered out of one?? God-fearing?? He espouses Anti-Christ sentiments, but he's got you believing he's sanctified...you're gullible. Just 'cuz he says "God" alot, doesn't make him God fearing....he could be dyslexic...or he could be pulling your leg to get your vote. Hard working....you gotta be kidding. He's been on the public teat his whole life, he's done nothing to put a callous on anything except his butt....Army, seminary, Boeing as a defense contractor (who do ya think paid that salary), Congress. He has drafted ONE piece of legislation his entire tenure and it never got out of the House. He's named more Post Offices after someone than anyone in Congress. He's useless and you can't see it cuz you're blinded by your supposed faith. I'd like to think myself as a believer, but it's people like you that drove me away....I'm happier as an agnostic than being associated with your kind of Christianity. Start thinking for yourself, Debra. Try skepticism....you'll be a healthier person for it!

If I was the type of politician that favored unfunded legislation, I would not tell people I am a deficit hawk.

Exactly -this is not a game. And I am not a mole or whatever ridiculous name Debra is calling me. Again -if Debra thinks Akin is being railroaded on account of one slip of the tongue - then raise your voice against the constituents of Akin like Paul Ryan and the GOP leadership that disagrees with you and Akin.

Personally, I am not an Akin fan and I do hope he drops out of the race-even if that hurts McCaskill's chances of upsetting GOP control of all govt branches (scary notion). Do we really need 50 days of abortion hysterics and calling people baby-killers?

Harry - come on you don't give our country enough credit. We made it through (barely) eight years of George W Bush. You know the guy that left office with us losing 800,000 jobs a month and a GDP of -9%. The same guy who started to unfunded wars and that cost us thousands of American lives and a couple trillion dollars when there all done.

Throw in that he was on watch when the worst act of terroism on American soil ever occured and Obama had to get the bad guy that Bush was incapable of doing. Yeah will struggle through 4 more years.

Right on -Mr Kellogg!
don't take any "Flak(e)" from this Mike guy.
Mike still does not understand that yr2006 minus yr2000 = 6 years.
Mike still does not understand that we had a DOw average of 14,000 under Bush.
Mike still does not understand that Obama Borrowed every penny he has wasted during past 4 years.
Mike still does not understand how to blame Bush for the rise in Gasoline from $1.89 to now $4 (under Obama)

Mike still does not understand that Bush had unemployment rates of 5%-6% until that drastic yr2006 (When Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid took over)
I wonder if Mike knows they were Democrats.
I wonder if the -800,000 lost jobs in Jan2008 should be attributed to the inept Democratic congress for 2 prior years.
I wonder if Gitmo is "closed"?
I wonder why Bush Tax cuts "for the Rich" suddenly have many TAX CUTS for the Middle class that Obama wants to extend.
So Mike will answer this with is usual "one liner" because he has no responses to "FACTS"

Please stop spreading the lies. The $717 billion in Medicare funding now part of Obamacare is cuts in payments to the overcharging hospitals, medical device companies, etc., and STRENGTHENS MEDICARE.

Paul Ryan and the GOP pushed to PRIVATIZE AND DESTROY SOCIAL SECURITY!

Paul Ryan repeatedly pushed to voucherize MEDICARE AND CUT OVER $700 BILLION but not from the Medicare providers, but from recipients like our seniors!

Paul Ryan repeatedly pushed to block grant and destroy MEDICAID which would put millions of seniors in nursing homes on the street!

Meanwhile Ryan and his buddies want to give even more tax cuts to billionaires and corporations, more subsidies to billion-dollar oil and mining companies, more subsidies to the greedy vultures on Wall Street who would blow through your retirement savings and everything else as fast as a drunk meth-head on a riverboat casino!

YOU need to STOP LYING, the GOP Party is the one that is trying its best to destroy the middle and working class people!

As we have written many times, the law does not slash the current Medicare budget by $500 billion. Rather, that’s a $500 billion reduction in the future growth of Medicare over 10 years, or about a 7 percent reduction in growth over the decade. In other words, Medicare spending would continue to rise, just not as much. The law stipulates that guaranteed Medicare benefits won’t be reduced, and it adds some new benefits, such as improved coverage for pharmaceuticals.

Most of those savings come from a reduction in the future growth of payments to hospitals and other providers (not physicians), and a reduction in payments to private Medicare Advantage plans to bring those payments in line with traditional Medicare. (MA plans have been paid more per beneficiary than traditional Medicare.)

And it assumes they actually happen. There’s good reason to think that some of those reductions won’t be implemented. The law calls for cuts in the future growth of reimbursement payments to hospitals and other health care providers — that accounts for $219 billion of the Medicare savings in the law. But Congress has consistently overridden similar scheduled cuts in payments to doctors.

No Death Panels either. Hide Granny.

Witzen says"cuts in payments to medical device companies" is not a "Cut in medicare"? "overcharge" is not a cut? No -it's should still stay in medicare to pay "legitimate medicaid". If medicaid was budgeted to spend $100 , and Obama suddenly found $25 overcharging, it is a cut in medicaid spending from $100 to $75.

Sending the $25 so -called overcharge to Obamacare to spend as Obamacare DID IN FACT REDUCE Medicaid spending to $75.
Making up future overcharges 5 to 10 years from 2012 is deceiving and IS stealing from the medicaid budget.
Playing budget games makes a mockery of our country's debt crisis.
If all budgeted War expenses become unnecessary if our troops come home , this Administration will spend that on new programs.
Now is that a CUT IN Total SPENDING? Or is it just a Cut in WAR spending?

Sonny:
Your understanding of medicare is off base.
The whole program right now, if left untouched is set toward "bankruptcy" in 8 years.
Do you understand that?
There was supposed to be $500Bil go into the medicare pot in the next 10 years.
that's the future cuts you talk about.
Now, if I told you and your Family that I would give you $50Bil a year (for 10 years)
to help pay your $150Bil annual medicare bills, that leaves you with $100bil loss.

Obama STOPPED and will divert (Steal) the $50Bil that was supposed to pay old age medicare recipients. That is 10 yrs X50=$500Bil.
That is $500Bil LESS available in the future medicare claims tub will be spent on something called "Obama-Health-TAX-Act". No one is getting anything free.
So please don't be sold on it's future spending cuts. It's future spending cuts --SPENT ELSEWHERE.

Obama will take that $500B and spend it on His new "FREE" Pills and whatever else the Democrats call Medical Expenses. He has to cover for 40Mil new Individuals who do not contribute $1 into the system.
So YES! There is a big big chunk of medicare losers to pay for another "TAX" on all Americans.
May I suggest you read the actual laws, and use your brains to question everything you hear today. Question even my writing here.
But find the real facts, because you seem like a person who wants to know how this all works. Certainly, it's compassionate to pay for the poor.
But at what cost? Who pays? Can our economy support it?
Do you care?

PaulRevere is a very patriotic name, but a patriot should consider these facts:
Rep. Paul Ryan’s claim that Medicare will be "bankrupt in nine years" goes too far. The trust fund that primarily supports one part of Medicare is projected to be exhausted come 2020, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees said it might not actually happen until 2029. That still doesn’t mean the system will be "bankrupt," though.

Sonny:
A patriotic name "does not make the person patriotic"
It's my message of caution!
First you claim to like Obama-Health TAX- I cautioned you.
Next you claim that Obama-Health TAX Does not slash the current medicare Budget.---I cautioned you about that.

Now you want to dis-believe that medicare is not going broke or that it might have 15-20 years left.
Well believe what you want.
But, the reason why ALL Senate Democrats (Harry Reid) have not prepared a USA Budget for 3 years is because They do not want YOU to see the truth.
How unfortunate, to intentionally hold back from you the actual budgets for Our programs hidden until after the election.
So Let's agree with every thing you want to believe.
Medicare still WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE UNDER AGE 50 if it is indeed broke in 2025.(As you believe) But I caution you , it is actually 10-12 years away. This has been known for many years-ever hear of kicking the can?
We have borrowed billions to support it. Interest rates rising will kill this country.
You should be Screaming at Mccaskill for not Doing a budget for 3 years, so You and I could deal with the Real Administrations Future plans.
Tell her "Paul Revere" told you.

Paul do conservatives ever fact check anything? Ever. Or do you just buy the drivel your fed. You wrote: "But, the reason why ALL Senate Democrats (Harry Reid) have not prepared a USA Budget for 3 years is because They do not want YOU to see the truth."

Did you miss the passage of the Budget Conrol Act which approved spending for two years? Here's a tip. Turn off Rush and Fox and learn some things on your own.

Mike:
A "Budget Control Act" is NOT a Budget.
Read it
http://nation.time.com/2012/08/24/a-smarter-way-to-trim-the-pentagon-budget/

The control act merely fixes what is already budgeted.
Now, You go out and look up the 2005-2006 US BUDGET approved by congress
(it is required by Constitution) Last done in 2007 (I believe?)

The Budget control act has nothing to do with creating the BUDGET.

You simply will never accept that your own Party is Intentionally hiding the truth from you. They know that the Budget of running this country cannot be revealed NOW.
So "ignorance" of that will allow you to "spew" untruths. Continue to condemn other budgets trying to fix actual crisis happening right before your eyes.

The Blind leading the blind? No this is the Ignorant leading the ignorant.
Finally,
You do not know who you are writing to on this site.
May I suggest you stop revealing your "ignorance" of everything this country gave to you.
May I suggest every President "inherits" the times problems, they are paid to handle it.

Barack Hussein Obama is the First President in History to BLAME and Mock and Sue his own people, his own states.

Everybody on this site is sincere in their beliefs, and you have NO knowledge of our background.
I tried to inform you, but you refuse to be corrected.
I come from an era where we finally say -- "sticks and stones may break my bones,but names will never hurt me."

Sonny writes "Bush begged people to buy homes"
The American Dream!!
Now try this--Obama pushed buying "Cars" (klunkers-program)
Not only buy-But Obama paid the buyers $4,000 to buy a car. (Our Tax Money).
(Costing $billions)
Try this-- Obama also urged Buying Homes- Except his deal was one that upped Bush. Remember the 1st time homebuyer Obama program?
OBAMA SENT A $8,000 check to anyone who bought a home. (our Tax money)
(Costing $billions)
Simple question to any one who loves Obama.

WHO IS WASTING OUR TAX MONEY?

Ever see the movie "Dum and Dummer"?
Who is the Dummer?

Mike:
How could a law "reduce spending Growth?" Medicare costs are expected to go up say 7% a year. It is a Fact built into A reality that will happen.
Obama cannot just wave a wand and say cut the medicare Growth to 1% and take the 6% difference to spend on Obama-Health-tax.
At most , he is lying about the expected "Real"medicare outlays that is allocated to medicare. Instead of congress sending the future 7% growth coverage to medicare, Obama "HAS STOLEN" 6% to send to his Obama-health-TAX support.
That is why he says it is cost neutral. (my numbers are only for illustration)

If you promise your grandmother you will put $100 into her savings every year for her medicare account expenses, how much would
she expect in 10 years? (answer=$1,000)
Now explain to the Nation and readers here what Obama did in his medicare cuts on your grandmother.
Show us all how he "reduced the future growth in Grandma medicare account, but did not take any of the $100 future money needed to pay her bills.

Hey lay off Paul Ryan, he's a defect hawk.

Examples of his defecit hawkness - voted for unfunded wars, Part D medicare, voted and railed against stimulus money, but took it. Classic politician: Do as I say, not as I do.

To D.Walker:
Our local news outlets ( CBS,NBC,ABC) have failed to report the stupidity within the Administration. If only one outlet would show the people a liberal Senator or Biden saying dumb things and our own President not knowing how to pronounce "corpsman", this election would be decided on accomplishments, rather than "character assasinations".

Perk up because, no matter who runs against McCaskill, the conservatives will show up in droves as NOT ONE TRUE CONSERVATIVE could be for a budget busting Obama-Health-TAX on Americans.

Healthcare in America is fine the way it is. Conservative are in favor of people using the emergency room then not paying for their bill. Their plan is to do nothing. If you don't have healthcare, too bad.

Mike:
For once in my life, let me get off this horse!
Sure did pay attention to Bush spending and tax cuts for the RICH. Ah! wait, Isn't Obama now saying the Bush tax cuts had a bunch of cuts for the Middle-class Right?
So how did Bush cuts only for the RICH turn into Cuts for the middle-class. That sly little Bush got one over on this old man.!!!!

8 years of BUSH--oops! make that 6 years of Bush--Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid controlled all of congress STARTING 2006.
Of course , I wasn't here--Were you.?

2 unfunded wars? Let's see seems every member of congress VOTED for that.

Medicare? Oh yes! no-one voted for any changes in that--They just kicked it into Obamaland.

Check the 2006 to 2008 trends
Unemployment?
Gasoline prices $1.89
US Debt when Obama took office $9tril

911-- did not mean just a phone call back in Bush years.
How ignorant must a person be , to not understand the country was in Financial meltdown in September 11, 2001. Do you know that?
Every business in the USA suffered enormous substantial losses in sales and many went out of business. All thanked Bush for those extra dollars in Cuts.
Find any quote by Bush where he ever Blamed his problems on "Clinton" or some mysterious plane accident into our world trade centers.
Did you see him with that fireman declare "Soon all of the world will hear America!"
Now find me a quote(s) of every Blame Obama has placed on his "stupidity"
Find me where he said "He inherited the greatest military"

Bush did not veto a single spending bill until his second term.

Bush was blocked by Pelosi and Reid? Sort of like how Obama has been blocked by McConnell and Boehner?

SSDD

Rahib:
If I have to inform you that McConnell is a Minority party while Pelosi and Reid both controlled the majority Democratic party, then you probably do not understand how Obama was able to Pass every law in 2008 2009.

MIKE:
Stock market up- True
Reclaimed all the losses-False
There are millions of individuals who were wiped out and never will live to see any of their money --GM- stole from every bondholder now made poorer because of Mr O's $60B bailout . GM will be gone in 5 years (See the Forbes article in Aug)

You forgot that the DOW average no longer includes the Bankrupted GM?
It reached 14,000 during Bush years. Now 13,000
read the predictions
It will crash again , if Obama does not stop his spending answers to every problem.
Getting out of the War? He is taking that spending and will re-spend it on his welfare programs. Is that some genious move!
He'll be asking for every home and asset we own on any next war.
JunkCar,1stTimeHomebuyer,VoltRebates,Solyndrasolar_losses

You see Mike, Obama has spent and borrowed $7bil to keep people above water.

Better watch your wallet? Or maybe you are that 50% of the country who pays ZERO income taxes.

Let me offer an economic 101 lesson: It is impossible to have economic recovery with LOW interest rates. Businesses must demand money to expand- That will lead to higher rates.
It is impossible to offer society "Free" health anything if the TAX for it is passed on to business. Every business starting in 2013 2014 will be forced to raise prices.
That Mr M: IS INFLATION.
It's the $7bil borrowed that has deferred the inevitable.
Both parties are Stuck!

Yes, why are gas prices so high. Drilling is back up to year 2006 levels, yet prices are not $2.00 per gallon. Republicans have promised that if we drill more, prices will fall; another Republican lie.

D Walker:
Many believe more drilling would reduce prices.
Many believe the pipeline from Canada would much improve unemployment.
Point is, you give this President total excuse route by concluding "No different under any President".
That is not true. Obama talks about "inherited"-- Well he also inherited the greatest military in the world.
That is his job , to Protect the USA.
It is not His job to create jobs. That is where You and I differ.
Blaming any President on wall street and economic conditions is a cop out.
I could make your house into a million dollar home using other peoples money.
Obama has borrowed, spent trillions of our tax money to support the economy.
He has run oput of easy money. His answer for everything is tax
Those off unemployment are into much lower paying jobs, forclosures will spike again. Mortgage rates are artificially kept low by Treasuries printing more loans to support this economy. GM Got $60B and will be Gone in 5 years.
(See forbes magazine -Lutz) Solyndra solar panels $500b bankrupt energy.
In summary , this President did NOTHING but Spend and indebt our future to keep giving Free money and welfare unemployment extension for 2 years to MASK anemic situations. Where do I stop.
Read reputable news--see that 2 days ago we are warned that this country could fall into major recession unless we reduce our DEBT NOW IMMEDIATELY.
Now you find me 1 thing Obama did to reduce our debt.?
Be warned Gas will be Over$5 elec bills $300Mo

Sonny:
There is not one example showing WHY the Republican claim is wrong.
What!? "there would be even fewer days until the fund"s exhaution.....if Obama's health care law hadn't included $700Billion "IN SPENDING REDUCTIONS"

The funds Exhaustion---The fund's exhaustion Can you read? Do you understand that .
The Fund is set toward exhaustion.
What a twisted statement this is, and you ignore the statement confirms and says"$700billion in spending reductions"
That is exactly what President did.
Note the last paragraph "Doubt that those spending cuts will actually be implemented" "Medicare would spend LESS each year" "allowing medicare to STRETCH further"
Sonny, it has 12 years to stretch, then gone . unable to care for anyone on medicare today.
Sonny, I only hope you are not on Medicare, because it is YOU that will suffer if Obama's health tax goes into effect in 2014.

Your vote is all they want. Financial is my profession.
You could take my advice or go out and seek and pay someone to explain how this memo you sent me conclusively says MEDICARE's DAYS are Numbered.
One last time:
Obama took $700Billion in budgeted spending for Medicare and transferred that budgeted spending to his Obama-health-tax where he knew he needed to definitely spend it. Now this article clearly states the $700B "medicare spending cuts" might not really happen (might? is the lie) deceived!. Duh! Now Obama will spend $700B on his ObamaHealthTaxAct
PlusHe will spend $700B on Medicare.

OK Sonny:
You just wrote the Clearest and concise comment I have read on this site.
1) "under current projections..inslovent in 12 years"--Correct
2) The Prsident's idea-"cutting"$716B is not only a"mistake"-it is stealing the money that should have gone into medicare to pay the "CERTAIN" growth expected.
Let's say 2012 medicare program costs $100 (in 12 years (yr2024)it is expected to "Grow" to $200) So we taxpayers (You & I) and the congress has Already in their Budget to Fund Medicare for 12 more years by "sending" $200 for the program.
Now Obama will Stop sending starting next year2013,(let's say$50 of the $200) and use that for Obama Health tax. Obama does that by changing the actuarial expected annual $200 medicare needs to $150. He does that by just changing the programs payments to providers or "medicare recipients"
ALL CURRENT MEDICARE RECIPIENTS WILL LOSE THAT $50 and THE WHOLE PROGRAM WILL EXHAUST IN 8 YEARS. not 12 years.
You cannot call a "spending cut" (future) unless you take that money and "do not spend it ANYWHERE ELSE" EVER.
You now know that Obama is cutting the funds that should have gone to medicare and arbitrarily changed the future growth to $150 needed, when in fact the number should still be $200.
If congress does not knock out the Obama Health tax, You only have 8 years left.
Without stealing that budgeted $716b from medicare's future payout needs, Obama's NEW Health TAX bill could never exists.
(see my next comment for you))

Sonny:
If congress adopts "medicare reform" ,(new Romney-Ryan proposal) they will change the program for anyone (UNDER AGE 55)
You will be covered the REST OF YOUR LIFE EXACTLY THE WAY you are covered today.
However they do it, at least it keeps the program for life for you whereas, Obama did not address your 8 years left. He really abandoned all current medicare recipients because he does not have any plan to FIX the program's outlays.
OBAMA' Health TAX will literally throw AMERICA over the cliff, because their deceiving "FEE" is really a "TAX" on every business and individual in America.
Taxes raise prices of everything you buy.
Finally, while stopping wars stops "war costs", the Democrats already have that money spent on MORE social welfare programs to buy votes.
That is called "CUTS" in Obama's budget , but he had it spent elsewhere for all his new wasted trial baloon buddy-buddy deals.
That is exactly what he did with your medicare. Called it a cut , when in actuality, he is spending it elsewhere.
I can go on and on.
B/T/W Claire McCaskill has every intention to make sure Obama's medicare steal act stays as is. She is also in your WAY.
The same twisted "savings" is used in our defense spending

Sorry about Patch removing all my work inserting spaces and tabs.

Gosh I love how the right gets thier information!

"So it’s come to this: Forbes cover story on “How Obama Thinks” is a gross piece of innuendo—a fact-twisting, error-laden piece of paranoia. This is the worst kind of smear journalism—a singularly disgusting work.
Forbes for some reason gives Dinesh D’Souza the cover and lots of space to froth about the notion popular in the right-wing fever swamps that Obama is an “other”; that he doesn’t think like “an American,” that his actions benefit foreigners rather than Amurricans. It’s too kind to call this innuendo. It’s far too overt for that."

If only we could had George W. Bush another four years! What would they have called something worse than the Great Depression?
