   A “backlash” can’t be opposition from people who opposed you from the beginning. Approval of Obama is very, very high. A few kooks holding signs won’t change that.

   Nice. “Unpatriotic” and “kooks” now seem to be the descriptors applied to Americans who oppose seeing their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren saddled with trillions in debt and a socialist government.

   A backlash starts slowly and grows. People are going to get sick of Obama and it can’t happen fast enough.

    Like I have said before … he is like a David Copperfield Illusion … there is no real substance behind the image …

    The MSM will continue to try to ignore the backlash in these demonstrations but it will not go away and they will have to acknowledge the American population in the future whether they like it or not … do not despair … do not give in … do not give up … saving America is worth every second you can spend speaking out against this C.R.A.P. …

    Our founders words need to be heeded-

    The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens. Funding I consider as limited, rightfully, to a redemption of the debt within the lives of a majority of the generation contracting it; every generation coming equally, by the laws of the Creator of the world, to the free possession of the earth he made for their subsistence, unincumbered by their predecessors, who, like them, were but tenants for life.

    Ya’ll remember the story of the ten guys that go to lunch and pay the bill in the same percentages that they file their income taxes? Recall that at the end of that story the rich guy who was paying 58% of the bill and got beat up by the other nine because he got the largest refund – doesn’t show up up for lunch the next day. Without him, the other nine don’t have enough money to pay their lunch bill.

    So.. the day after that they will begin to starve because the restaurant isn’t going to serve people who don’t pay their bills.

    According to Rush’s site – The top 10% income earners supply over TWO THIRDS of our federal revenue. What is to stop them from all liquidating their wealth and just sit on their money? Doing that would legally CUT OFF 2/3 OF FEDERAL REVENUE!

    It would be ugly but it would starve these commie socialists out of office and get this nightmare over a lot more quickly in my opinion. I’m all for it and only wish I was rich enough to help do it.

    Amazing indeed. Bush had some of the lowest approval ratings ever. EVER. Mediocre isn’t newsworthy. Least popular president ever is.

    And it looks like you all could use a little (recent) history lesson. Bush nearly doubled our national debt during his 8 years in office. Your children and grandchildren have to pay that back, too.

    “When President Bush took office, the national debt stood at $5.7 trillion,” said Rep. John M. Spratt Jr. (D-S.C.). chairman of the House Budget Committee. “Today it is $9.2 trillion and rising, projected to increase to $9.7 trillion by the time President Bush leaves office – up by $4 trillion in eight years. This is the legacy our children and grandchildren will inherit from the fiscal policy of this administration.”

    For 8 years this wasn’t worthy of your scorn. Now suddenly it’s “Generational Theft?” This is exactly why the right has absolutlely no credibility on this issue.

    That bill will only raise premiums to subsidize cases like yours. Why should anyone be forced to pay for your health care or that for your child? You never offered to pay to fix my kid’s broken arm did you? Okay, you didn’t know. That’s because I DID NOT ASK FOR YOUR HELP!

    Not saying your case specifically, but, 100 years ago and for ALL time before that, most premature babies or ones with severe physical problems would certainly die. But that allowed the parents to simply try again and have another chance to be blessed with a healthy child. Wasn’t that better than having medical technology bankrupt all of us just because they can?

    So? Bush was far more LIBERAL than conservative! He should get ‘credit’ for the second largest senior entitlement ever – medicare part ‘D’. Then there was his insistence that illegals get amnesty. Will you at least give him credit for those liberal agenda’s?

    But then federal revenue increased and the deficit decreased after Bush’s tax cut – but RINOS and liberals in Congress SPENT IT because his veto pen dried up. Revenues increased after JFK’s tax cut too – but so what if liberals just end up squandering it to feather their own nests?

    BTW you are admitting that Obamas’s rating ain’t any better than Bush’s who had about the SAME approval rating when he took office.

    yep.. your right…I didn’t think of that…as soon as my husband got home…

    that’s what he said…

    so…

    it’s just that when we ran out..
    we were not eligible to purchase private insurance… b/c of a pre existing clause…

    so what are we to do?

    It really stinks to be in this position..

    Partly, costs are outrageous..
    Stanford was PAID $26,000 per day…

    and that was at a 40% discount…
    and that did not include doctors etc..

    I guess what bothers me soo much…
    while we were out of coverage for our baby…

    I watched babies of illegals go home with full medical benefits..

    we were in hospital for 6 months…

    they were eligible for stuff that our baby wasn’t… it was all out of our control…

    so…
    someone will get refused and it isn’t going to be the illegal or people on Medicaid…

    a baby of an illegal got a fully paid for heart transplant… all while we were told that we would need $100,000 cash upfront … even with insurance..

    it’s so bass ackwards…

    so just disregard my previous post…

    It’s all in God’s hands anyway.

    Meanwhile back in the real world here is an excerpt from Bloomberg a little while ago!

    The prospect that the federal government will nationalize some banks, rendering their equity worthless, is dogging Bank of America and Citigroup in particular, said Anton Schutz, president of Mendon Capital Advisors Corp. in Rochester, New York.

    ‘Getting Destroyed’

    Investors are “afraid the government’s going to wipe out everybody that’s got an interest,” Schutz said. “Nobody knows what the rule book is. In the meantime, the stocks are getting destroyed.” Mendon manages $150 million in financial stocks, including the two best-performing bank-stock mutual funds over the past three years.

    weary citizen..

    you must have misunderstood..

    I am only wanting a higher lifetime cap for health insurance…

    I had never even heard of a lifetime cap on health insurance until we were told in the NICU…

    and I supposed if you were in our shoes, you’d want a higher lifetime cap at todays prices..

    no one is asking for handouts.. I am a true blue conservative…

    When I wrote my post… It didn’t occur to me that it would cost more to the employers… I have written comments since then.

    It’s the cost of healthcare causing people to run out of coverage…
    how else does a ten month old baby run out of a lifetime cap???

    A LV hospital was paid $1600 per day for the NICU alone…
    but Stanford was paid $26,000 per day for the bed alone..

    how can you justify $26,000 a day… for a bed…?? That is why we ran out..
    and that price was at a disount…
    Neonatologists were PAID $1692 per day.. and that was at a discount…

    Costs are too high…

    anyone with a one or two million dollar lifetime cap is SOL if they get sick.

    What happened to me can happen to anyone on this blog.

    dad, I read the AT post this AM, too, and the minute I read ol’ huggybear’s nonsense, I was going to link to it, but you already took care of it (8 hours earlier, too), so thank you.

    Anyone who didn’t take the time to read it, go back to dad’s comment and click the link. Then you’ll be well-armed the next time someone like huggybear makes the idiotic claim that the debt doubled under Bush.

    huggy’s first mistake was paying attention to a Democrat-ick senator who is suffering from the ravages of BDS (Spratt). He needs to understand that if you quote a fool you become a fool.

    thank you for that… I have been feeling rotten all day about those other two comments…

    it hurt me so much… I guess until you are in our shoes, you can’t say.

    Who ever plans to have a medically fragile child.. or get sick..

    who would ever think that you could run out of health insurance?

    I just worry all the time and I don’t know how to fix it… our little boy is so wonderful and full of life…

    I want to cry so many times when I look at him knowing he will need further surgeries and I wonder how long our 3 million more of insurance will last with these high prices of medical care.

    I am totally against socialized medicine…

    I think if those other two commenter knew me and my family, they wouldn’t have sounded so heartless…

    maybe I should have spent more time writing something earlies, but I was just so excited about hearing of higher lifetime caps… and I just reacted.

    I reacted w/ my heart and not my head.

    But thank you for your comment, it made me feel better.

Bush 1 had a 92% right after the First Gulf War. Did not do him much good in the end except for some speaking engagements with Slick Willie.

    When this massive spending results in inflation of consumer goods-deflation of durable goods and assets, higher unemployment and the Misery Index is reborn we shall see. But I am guess that more than just a few Kooks will be upset.

Your first post made me think it was another “the gov’t (really taxpayers) need to come to my rescue” or “I deserve it” mentality. But that is not what you are saying. My apologies as well for making you feel bad. I should have known you were not looking for gov’t intervention when you did not use the the ‘ol liberal ploy of sobbing and “its for the children”, or “you mean heartless conservatives” stuff. Good luck with your ordeal. It must be heartbreaking.
