I think Barack Hussain Obama is the messiah! Gobama!

I take it that the Beam of Light has shone down on you, you have had an epiphany, and you will vote for Barack.

What really bothers me is why isn't he putting a stop to all of this stary eyed hero worship? A true Christian would've put the skids on it right away unless he is seriously is taking it in. Even Elvis stopped in the middle of a concert to stop a person holding up a sign stating Elvis is king, replying that only Jesus is King.

I suppose it's because the few Obama supporters who are engaging in such so-called "worship" are no more representative of ALL Obama supporters than the few McCain supporters that shout "Off with [Obama's] head".

We surely could use some symptomatic relief. However, failing to address the perverse incentives that drive health care spending inexorably upward, making insurance unaffordable for millions and shaping (or misshaping) the practice of medicine, will leave us worse off than we are today

As much as obama decries it, taxing insurance benefits is one of the two biggest things we can do to lower costs without lowering quality. He has no idea how health care works or why costs have gone up.

I heard that Barack Obama is going to come out with a press release to tell the world, his real middle name, which is Steve, Barack Steve Obama!

Gobama!

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ABC Censors Pro-Life Ad Exposing Barack Obama's Pro-Abortion Record

[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The ad asks Obama when he will apologize for calling the group "liars" for pointing out how he misrepresented his votes in the Illinois legislature against bills that would require medical care for babies who survive failed abortions.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Two nonpartisan groups, FactCheck.org and PolitiFact.com have verified NRLC's claims as true -- leading the pro-life group to produce the ad.[/FONT]
This is apparently an Obama pro, but it should be rebuked, so that the mass media doesn't intentionally and even maliciously influence the election, especially by censoring important ads and thereby inhibiting free speech.

I think that we redo many loans like McCain calls for, it would actually correct a significant part of the problem at a cost that is fairly obvious, rather than attempting to get around the problem every which way. Expect the banks to pay for it. Don't just reduce principal, change other terms.

In any case, Obama's plan won't be as effective as this, no matter what he claims. His only claim can be the expense.

NICE's real mission is to protect the British health-care budget. Since 2000 it has denied patients the ability to use the newest cancer drugs -- by my count, in 226 different indications where American insurers, and Medicare, currently pay, and where the National Comprehensive Cancer Network says there is "high-level evidence" or "uniform consensus" of clinical benefit. Cancer survival rates in the U.K. are substantially lower than in the U.S. and the gap continues to widen.

Why is it creepy?

Obama isn't going to destroy the world or anything (or probably doesn't intend to), unless you're one of the children who get aborted... or maybe if you work in health care. He doesn't care if the abortion rate goes from 25% of Americans to 40%, because "it's above" his "pay grade." The omission is that he refuses to tell people that he doesn't care.

His smile absolutely creeps me out.
