Public education is next. It won't be long either.

1. Equal rights for all people
It's about time the discrimination ends.

10. I think you may have missed the point of the OP.
If what Obama has done for health care constitutes "taking care of" the problem, you'd best hope he doesn't try to do more than reform tiddlywinks league play in the U.S. The OP suggests that the President has made everything he has touched worse, not better.

And if my reading is off, the OP has an uncanny gift for accidental irony.

11. Either way
should we not work towards equal rights for all people? :shrug:

12. Certainly we should.
But perhaps we'd be better off if Obama didn't.

2. Disagree:
Heath Insurance reform is scarcely "taken care of" yet...not by a damned sight.

6. Until there is a bill
on Obama's desk for signature nothing is taken care of. When there is it will only be the beginning and there will be more bills to come later on down the line.

16. Obama's already said the deficit is next...
Don't you guys read the news?

And, I love how they pass a horribly fiscally irresponsible bill right before they decide, "okay, now we gotta work on the deficit!".
