Obama has been on fire, last night and again today in Tampa!!

[MoonRiver]

I'm really starting to feel the hope again! :) I know this will take time to play out, but I definitely like what I'm hearing about job creation, deficit reduction and yeah, health care. :woohoo:

[leftstreet]

1. What are you hearing about healthcare that you like?

:shrug:

[MoonRiver]

3. That he's still determined to get it passed.

I realize the bill is far from perfect, but I am of the mind-set that we have to start somewhere. If that just means the insurance companies can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions and drop you if you get sick, that's a good beginning.

[derby378]

6. I heard that abolishing pre-existing conditions is in danger of being dropped

There's been so much behind-the-scenes negotiating that I can't be sure one way or the other.

[MoonRiver]

7. What I hear is all over the place.

We will have to see the final bill. I'm just talking about what Obama wants.

[Warpy]

9. That's the problem, you "hear" it

Conservative rumormongers are trying to kill enthusiasm and conservative Democrats are floating trial balloons to see what we'll take before we go into flat out rebellion against the party.

Continue to register your anger any way you can. They are paying attention. I think even the hidebound, arrogant conservatives realize they'll be out on their asses if they don't allow a few decent provisions through.

10. one thing for sure is there's a lot of mis-information out there

[Larkspur]

2. I won't believe it until I see it

My contract ends the ned of next month and I'll be unemployed for a while again. I HOPE that unemployment benefits are still available to me.

8. UI is has nothing to do with Obama unless you need an extension after 26 weeks.

[Larkspur]

11. If there were jobs available, I wouldn't need UI

but jobs for my profession -- Mainframe IT programmer analyst -- are either being filled by imported Indians or are being outsourced.

[tridim]

12. I'm in the same position as you, I don't need a lecture.

[Myrina]

4. ... talking the talk is one thing ...

... I wanna SEE him kicking some asses and shoving some progressive, people-friendly policies down the do-nothings' throats.

[MoonRiver]

5. Me too.

But I am definitely starting to feel that he got the MA message.

[lonestarnot]

13. And education!

[MoonRiver]

14. Yes!

Reducing interest on student loans! Forgiving student loans after 20 years, or after 10 years with public service! GOBAMA!

[Kablooie]

15. I sure hope he gets the Senate to do something drastic. Only way to win over GOP.
