With powers no mortal man holds, you hold the power to make America the land of dreams again. I want me a 8 person hot tub so bad I can taste the soapy water. What will you be doing in years to come to help me a hard working American reach my dream? I've waited, I've fit 3 people into my bathtub, I've got water, booze bottles and rubber duckies everywhere but in the tub and let me tell you my esteemed guests are demanding some change. This tub/change needs to show up or you need to ship out.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Trey Graysons alcholic past.<br />
<br />
As many of us supporters are aware, Trey was a major alcolic up until two years ago. I'm sure most of us don't have an issue with it, but how do we convince people it is not an issue?<br />
<br />
Just today someone told me they wouldn't vote for Trey becuase of his past drunken behavior. I told her he quit drinking two years ago, after the incident with his wife, but it didn't change her mind.<br />
<br />
What can we say to these people so they relize he is a different person and is clean and sober?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Our World, Our Moment<br />
<br />
There was a time not long ago when all Americans believed they had a voice, that their vote counted and that any individual could make a difference. When we believed our nation bore the torch of freedom and democracy, beneath which our children might flourish in prosperity and exemplify a brighter humanity to which the entire world would aspire.<br />
<br />
We held dear the conviction that America would always act in the good faith of peace over violence, defense over imperialism and a commitment to the health and well being of our neighbors and the planet we share. That we were the champions of human rights, freedom and democracy. That every man and woman could, through hard work and perseverance, achieve their fullest potential.<br />
<br />
Each and every one of us, along with the world beyond our borders aspired to realize this American Dream. We knew without reservation that it was always within our grasp.<br />
<br />
Yet over the generations, we have slowly eroded that sense of individual potential and the personal responsibility it demands. The founding ideals of “By the People and for the People” have given way to a culture of greed and instant gratification. A culture that rewards the short sighted gains of personal wealth over the long term security and stability of our society as a whole.<br />
<br />
The resulting erosion of our national honor has bourn the world in which we find ourselves today; a world of corporate excess, the collapse of the middle class, over 40,000,000 Americans whose lack of proper healthcare is of no concern to their neighbors. A world in which we have wholesaled our nation’s workforce to child labor profits in foreign markets. A world where we have relinquished the Bill of Rights under the guise of national security, equivocated “pre-emptive warfare” against those who have not attacked us and even encouraged the torture of enemy combatants in the name of liberty.<br />
<br />
A world in which our children’s education has plummeted to the very bottom of our priorities, threatening our ability to compete in an evolving global economy and destabilizing our nation’s long term financial security.<br />
<br />
Simply put, a world that our founding fathers would find unrecognizable.<br />
<br />
Our leaders bend to corporate special interests for political gain and personal profit with no regard for duty to their country, or the will of their constituents. Talking heads squabble over scientific data as industrial pollution threatens the very existence of our species.<br />
<br />
Never before in the history of mankind has change been more critical to our survival than this very day. Never before has your personal responsibility to your own future and that of your children been more crucial than this moment….this very instance as you read these words.<br />
<br />
Never before has there been this opportunity for a national awakening and a call to a return of individual rights and value; the re-institution of our founding ideals and the possibility that America can be and is still the leading example of humanity at its highest potential.<br />
We at Seize the Moment 2010 are not politicians. We are not lobbyists or special interest activists. We are average Americans like you who believed that in November of 2008 we made history by electing a fledgling senator to the highest office in the land based on the integrity of his ideals, the strength of his character and the audacity to once again believe in the American Dream.<br />
<br />
We have not lost this faith, nor have we lost our faith in him. But already we see the growing signs of a return to defeatism, a slipping of our grasp on this grand possible future. We fear the maddened desire of some fellow Americans to return to the culture of greed and isolation that drove us to this brink to begin with.<br />
<br />
No man, no matter how high his station, clear his vision or firm his conviction can overcome these challenges alone. The forces of resistance are upon us and we MUST stand with our President in assuming this call of duty to our nation, to ourselves and most importantly to our heirs.<br />
<br />
We are simply asking you, our friends, our neighbors, our fellow Americans to stand with us and assume with full passion our mutual responsibility to our nation. To show your support, your pride and your faith that together we can make the change that is so vital to our very survival. To donate your time, your money, your commitment to our common future….to stand and become the force of change.<br />
<br />
We can become this nation’s next great generation and once again assume the role as leaders of freedom, democracy, industrialism and innovation to our global neighbors.<br />
<br />
Together we can reclaim our national dignity and set a course to a future brighter than any moment in our past.<br />
<br />
We cannot fall back upon the pessimism of individual impotence, or the expectation that others will do for us that which we are unwilling to do for ourselves.<br />
<br />
We are Americans, we are patriots, we are proud of our country and it’s founding principals. We want nothing more than to write our generation’s seminal page in American history as one of inspired human achievement.<br />
<br />
We ask you to join us in this effort in any and every way you can.<br />
<br />
For without question, united we stand and divided we fall.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Do Americans, or anybody need the "Obscene Choice" that is confronting them every minute of every day?<br />
<br />
You turn on the TV, and you got a couple hundred channels, and then hundreds more of music.<br />
Starbucks confronts people with dozens of different choices of coffee, and the vexed consumers are standing there for extended periods wasting time trying to decide which flavor, and then size they want.<br />
You go to the supermarket and got do make a choice between dozens of different soups, and then dozens of different brands. Coke, Pepsi, RC Cola, Generic, 6 pack, 12 pack, 24 pack, 20 ounce, 12 ounce, 2 liter, 3 liter, Big Gulp.<br />
<br />
Dozens of different choices of cereal, when you only need one (Honey Nut Cheerios, Yo).<br />
I see these White Housewives almost crying trying to decide whether to get Honey Glazed Ham, Polish Ham, Smoked Ham, Baked Ham, Maple Glazed Ham.<br />
You go for more bullets and they got hundreds of calibers and weights and types and brands to choose from (you only really two. 7.62 x 39 and 9mm).<br />
<br />
People waste way too much time trying to choose which of the hundred different kinds of doughnuts to get in Dunkin Doughnuts, and then waste even more trying to decide how many of which to make a dozen!<br />
<br />
This Obscene Choice is a Weapon of Mass Distraction by the Capitalist Republicans to keep the masses from devoting appropriate time to advancing Obama's Health Care Reform and Social re engineering. Enough is enough! Remove the choices that confront people, like Obama is doing with the car industry. Limit the choice of the Proletariat to one, so they can devote their valuable efforts to important matters.<br />

I have a feeling these two people would have a huge dis agreeance or Thoreau would start throwing some <a href="http://www.iwise.com/tag/Inspiration" target="_blank">inspirational quotes</a> at Obama about civil disobedience.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[I joined this forum to 1- Find out what's real and what's not, and 2- To find out why my wife is being charged a 40% penalty to use medcare. She was disabled 4 years ago and I was working and carried her health insurance. Now I had to leave work because of an injury at work and now Medicare is going to charge a 40% penalty because we refused medicare at the time of the dissability. I think we need to fix what we have before we change anything. The insurance companies have always gotten what they want before and will continue to do so until it is stopped somehow.<br />
Why don't the congress study the European, Japan, and Tiawan, healthcare processes and learn from them. Everyone has healthcare and administrative costs are at 5.5%. The insurance companies are making money, but not able to rape the people. President Obama had the right idea, in the beginning, but the insurance companies have won out. <br />
My workmans comp claim AIG, won't even pay me the travel pay, &#36;751.00, which was turned in to them, the first time, 10/2009. AIG is one of the companies that is running our congress. Nothing is going to change until this situation changes and no one in congress has what it takes to change it.<br />
My wifes disability gets her &#36;260.00/month because she has never been able to work. The medicare penalty is totally uncalled for, because she has always had insurance and never has had to get aid for the last 30 years, but the insurance companies have called the shots again and get more money in their pockets.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[How many academic librarians does it take to change a light bulb?<br />
Just five. One changes the light bulb while the other four form a committee and write a letter of protest to the Dean, because after all, changing light bulbs IS NOT professional work!<br />
<br />
How many catalogers does it take to screw in a light bulb?<br />
Just one, but they have to wait to see how LC does it first.<br />
<br />
How many cataloguers does it take to change a lightbulb?<br />
Only one provided it is in AACR2.<br />
<br />
How many reference librarians does it take to change a light-bulb?<br />
(with a perky smile) "Well, I don't know right off-hand, but I know where we can look it up!"<br />
<br />
How many reference librarians does it take to change a lightbulb?<br />
None if it has a LCSH heading.<br />
<br />
How many library system managers does it take to change a lightbulb?<br />
All of them as the manual was lost in the last move (or flood).<br />
<br />
How many library managers does it take to change a lightbulb?<br />
At least one committee and a light bulb strategy focus meeting and plan.<br />
<br />
How many library technicians does it take to change a lightbulb?]]></description>

			<pubDate>Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:54:51 -0600</pubDate>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.obamaforum.us/Thread-The-President-s-Proposal-for-Health-Reform</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Over the past year the House and the Senate have been working on an effort to provide health insurance reform that lowers costs, guarantees choices, and enhances quality health care for all Americans. On September 9, 2009 the President laid out his principles in an address to a Joint Session of Congress.  Building on that year-long effort, the President has now put forth a proposal that incorporates the work the House and the Senate have done and adds additional ideas from Republican members of Congress. The President has long said he is open to any good ideas for reforming our health care system, and he looks forward to discussing ideas for further improvements from Republicans and Democrats at an open bipartisan meeting.<br />
<br />
The Administration believes that comprehensive health reform should:<br />
    * Reduce long-term growth of health care costs for businesses and government<br />
    * Protect families from bankruptcy or debt because of health care costs<br />
    * Guarantee choice of doctors and health plans<br />
    * Invest in prevention and wellness<br />
    * Improve patient safety and quality of care<br />
    * Assure affordable, quality health coverage for all Americans<br />
    * Maintain coverage when you change or lose your job<br />
    * End barriers to coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, we can!<br />
<br />
I stand here today as hopeful as ever that the United States of America will endure, that it will prevail, that the dream of our founders will live on in our time.<br />
 <br />
<br />
To ensure prosperity here at home and peace abroad, we all share the belief we have to maintain the strongest military on the planet.<br />
 <br />
<br />
I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that. I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture. And I'm gonna make sure that we don't torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world.<br />
 <br />
<br />
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.<br />
<br />
My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.]]></description>
