^^You’re a true idiot, you’ve spent your entire adult life drawing Government Welfare (disability) now that you’re a widow I’m sure you’ve applied for that pension, yet you don’t see yourself as the problem! Perhaps you should listen to the Ayn Rand tripe you spout get a REAL job and get your lazy butt off the Taxpayer's back!!
It amazing Just how many of these hardcore Republicans on this forum are on the Government Dole and don’t see themselves as a burden on those of US who actually WORK!!

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. ...... 65%
England ...... 46%
Canada ... 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S. ...... 93%
England ...... 15%
Canada ... 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S. ...... 90%
England ...... 15%
Canada ... 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S. ...... 77%
England ...... 40%
Canada ... 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S. ...... 71
England ...... 14
Canada ... 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":
U.S. ...... 12%
England ...... 02%
Canada ... 06%
And now for the last statistic: National Health Insurance?
U.S. ...... NO
England ...... YES
Canada ... YES
Check this last set of statistics: The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. (You know that the private business sector is a real-life business, not a government job.) Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt... 38%
Taft...... 40%
Wilson ... 52%
Harding...... 49%
Coolidge...... 48%
Hoover ... 42%
F. Roosevelt...... 50%
Truman...... 50%
Eisenhower...... 57%
Kennedy... 30%
Johnson...... 47%
Nixon.... 53%
Ford...... 42%
Carter.... 32%
Reagan... 56%
G. H. Bush... 51%
Clinton ... 39%
G. W. Bush...... 55%
Obama... 08%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business! That's right! Only eight percent; the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers”. They should have been in an employment line.
Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media.

Irish Eyes...you are so incredibly predictable; as are most left-spinners!!! the only credible sources are your sources yea, if you are easily manipulated and simple-minded!!! Left-spinners have long ago quit reporting accurate actual news and stats and have resorted to obamas chicago-style tactics of manipulation, chiseling and gouging the facts and replacing them with metaphors in hope that the simple-minded can more easily follow along

@ Santoony Why would I vote Republican, they’re totally anti-worker, their deregulation of worker’s rights and anti-union policy are well known to those of US who actually watch the legislation these Bozos try to push on the public! This country was founded by a group of wealthy plantation owners who depended upon servitude to increase their wealth if not for the Trade Labor Union Movement the majority of US would still be in servitude!
You told us your husband spent 10,000 hours volunteering at the VA, by that you mean he was driving the VA van..If he was able to drive that van he could have drove a truck or a bus and made an honest living, there’s far too many of you folks on the sick, lame and lazy gang that think the world owes you a living.. But for you to come here criticize union workers or teachers people who have been taxed to pay your way on a trip to the Greek Islands and London really takes the cake!!!

Obama is very good at what he does, and no one can dispute that. The problem is that what he does is the same thing they train Judas goats for.

Expatriate I don't know why you would vote republican, but I will in an effort to ensure a secure future for my grandchildren including, but not limited to freedoms as defined by the constitution. We have distributed so much fake money under this administration that our great, great, great grandchildren are going to say wtf were they thinking. By the way the VA driver you chastised was a good man an should not posthumusly fall victim to your political views. Oh, respect for others is another reason I can put on my list for voting republican.
