    BTW, I thought it said in the bible “ judge not least ye be judged” i.e. that the ONLY one who can Judge is GOD. No one man on earth has the right to declare in what way or whom God will bestow his judgment. Before you speak about abortion as “all in the name of women's and civil rights” and insinuate that we (women) should "get over it" and have children because of your personal moral understanding of the world then I challenge you to pass a kidney stone (or ten because this is closest pain a man can feel to labor and btw it is way less than labor pains) or to have a woman you care greatly about (daughter, sister, lover, wife) who cannot carry a child to full term due to money, health concerns for the woman, rape, or because she is too young for this life moment. I challenge you to look this woman in the eye, someone who you care about deeply, and with as much callousness as you typed in your post tell her to just “get over it” and have the child. Women have been letting people take our “rights” for centuries and I am glad to say we are not losing anymore "rights" because you or anyone else thinks their concept of God would be one that denies women the same gift of "free will" i.e. freedom of choice that was given to "men".

    There is not ONE President in History (Doug195) who has not raised taxes. NOT ONE (including Bush senior who ran his campaign saying -no new taxes)! This is the NO.1 lie of the Republican Party post Regan in the 1980's when they "reinvented themselves." If you take any basic college level politics class you will learn this fact. Every hopeful President Republican or Democratic always runs saying “no new taxes” and then some form or another and when elected they raise taxes. In general, I think it is great WONDERFUL that Obama said flat out he would raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help support the country. The economic gap in this country is in part what lead to our current economic crisis. We made cost of living in the US unaffordable to like 80% of the people living here and are shocked to find that they took out too much credit. Then with regards, to those middle-class Americans who got greedy and took out too much credit this is same side of the coin as all the top 3rd wealthy Americans with offshore bank accounts (or who venomousness appose raising taxes on the rich and in the same breath of air think it is fine to heavily tax the poor and lower-middle class). This is economic segregation and a way to insure the poor stay poor and rich get richer. While unlike PBO, President Bush Jr. set up loop holes in our tax system for 8 years to aid his wealthy friends and raised taxes on the poorest Americans. Jr. forced the country and by domino effect the WHOLE world into an economic crisis, placed this country indebt when he chose to follow poor military intelligence and launch this country into a war leading to the death of American soldiers, and tarnished our name with using non-human torture. By all accounts to “mess up this country more than Jr” PBO would have to drive every American to the unemployment line and start WWIII. This is not about taxes or the right to bear arms it is about the health care bill. I understand that the country is split on this issue. I think much of the split is because both sides Republican and Democratic are spinning horrible lies about what is or is not in the bill and what "universal health care" means . Enough is enough! We are one of the only non-3rd world countries without affordable/universal health care. What does this say about us? Do you know healthcare reform has been trying to pass in the House and Senate since the 1900's i.e. for over a century? This has nothing to do with PBO. THIS HAS TO DO WITH US. That in OVER a 100 years we the American people cannot see past our individual wealth to do what is right for our country.

    I think he is an educated idiot. Number one, the Democrats are against tax cuts, period. Don't tell me they're not, because they have proven time and time again that they are totally against cutting taxes. Number two, how can you call abortion "Health Care"? Doesn't somebody die in the process? God will judge America with terrible judgement, at the blood of more than 55 million babies dead, all in the name of women's and civil rights. As rubywal says, "Deal with it," so I will deal with it. But come the first Tuesday of November 2012, guess who I am NOT voting for for President, and I believe that more Americans than who voted against Jimmy Carter in 1980 will be in line to fire Barack Obama from his job. He is a liar, a cheat, a scoundrel, and he doesn't deserve to be the President of the United States.

    Speaking of demands, I'd like to demand that PBO's profile be updated to reflect that he IS the 44th President of the United States. Deal with it People and support his efforts to Reform our Health Care System for the benefit of us all. We can't afford to be biting our noses to spite our faces!

    I think he has screwed this country up more in 6months then what Bush did in 8 yrs. I thank God I'm still free enough to voice my opinion, But through his administration, how long will it be before I can no longer voice my opinion?
