It is past time to Impeach Barack Hussien Obama, go to http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/ and sign the petition to get him removed from office.
Where is the RNC? Thy should be all over the t.v. and radio airwaves decrying this travesty. They should have bought bill boards highlighting the most egregious aspects of the bill. Mr. Steele, et all, where are you?

It seems our Republican Congress pukes love to tell a good story; but aren't doing a damn thing about anything.
To all members of Congress: We are watching. If any of you support healthcare reform that includes "any type" of public option attached, you will be voted out of office when your next election comes around. This is not a threat but a promise. By YOU backing the public option you are choosing to bring socialism over the free market system to America. You are a traitor to our founding fathers and you will become unemployed when it is your turn to be re-elected.
DON'T GET MAD, GET EVEN. IMPEACH OBAMA NOW http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/
I dont care what motivations they have for trying to steal my money any more than I would care what a common street thug was motivated by.
Any one that signs on for any reason is to be considered a enemy of US and it's constituion and treated as an insurgement in the next election cycle as far as I am concerned.
Furthermore those that do sign, if it is found to be unconstituional by SCOTUS, or any part thereof will be forced to resign or be prosecuted after the next election cycle. If Barry signs it the same applies to him.
Of course I have zero power to enforce any of that, but I will work towards it in any way that I can.
Barrack Obama spent over 5million dollars of the stimulus money to pay Hillary Clinton's campaign debt just because she asked him to!
Simply want to say your article is stunning. The knowledge in your post is simply impressive and i can take for granted you are an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your rss feed to keep up to date with future post. Thanks a million and please keep up the fabulous work.
Really great post/article really informative.
Although it is true that what the Obama administration is doing is very dangerous it must be remembered that whether Republican or Democrat both parties seem to have one thing in common…at the end of the day the ordinary American has less liberty and fewer civil rights. It may be financial and socialism under the current administration, but we lost a load of civil liberties under the previous administration which will affect us in ways that we cannot imagine. A great article on this is at http://weshouldhavelistenedtotheprophets.com/?p=3...
why there are people always seeking the mistake of barack obama, let give obama a chance to probe his worth a the president of the United State
