The Obama State Dept sent Vlad Putin of Russia a "secret note". It offered to scrap our European missile defense plans in exchange for them helping us control Iran's nuclear ambitions. The Russians LAUGHED THEIR ASSES OFF. They declined the offer and leaked the "secret note" the international press to embarrass America.
What clueless Odumbo didn't grasp is that the Russians want trouble in the Mideast because it drives up the price of oil, which is their prime source of income. That is the reason they've been selling nuke materials to Iran and helping them arm themselves all along.
When the Russians finally stopped laughing, they moved on to stunned disbelief at the amatuerish overture. The secret note is what one might expect from a high school kid who got to be President for one day. For over 1000 years nations have avoided this kind of embarrassent by using diplomacy. This is where an underling from country A feels out an underling from country B before a leader risks putting his ass out there and looking the incompetent fool.

the weird thing about this is that obama has been against missile defense in europe from the beginning, right? I might be wrong about that, but I thought that was something he campaigned against and promised to end or let die were he elected. so, unless the ruskies have been sleeping for the past year or so it seems that it would be hard to use the threat of ending missile defense as a bargaining chip for help with iran when russia knows obama has been against it from the start. well, unless obama reads xpt and planned his tact by gauging russian logic from reading panzer's posts.

Here we go, I haven't done the numbers yet, but 5 minutes got me the data. Let's see.
A study finds that about half of personal bankruptcies are for medical reasons. This study is in dispute, so we will see how much slack there is in the final numbers.
There are 60 * 24 = 1440 minutes in a day, so we need 2880 bankruptcies for medical reasons each day to make one every 30 seconds. If half are for medical reasons, we need 5760 bankruptcies per day to make Obama's claim, accepting the disputed study.
I found a graph of daily bankruptcies.
Looks like we are there.
Now, I hope you see the President's larger point, about how health care costs are helping cripple the economy. About how we can pick some low hanging fruit, do things both progressives and conservatives agree upon to reduce costs. Find a long term solution that works.
Posting childish, racist pictures demeans your argument. Thanks for doing that, and showing what an ass you are.
Why don't you find another garbage pit to regurgitate your echo chamber tripe into?

Indeed it does. The facts should speak for themselves:
Clinton 'Resets' Russian Ties -- and Language
GENEVA, March 6 -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday presented her Russian counterpart with a mock "reset button," a gesture designed to symbolize the U.S. desire to retool relations that grew testy during the Bush administration. But an American error in translating "reset" demonstrated how the two countries can still talk past each other and gave Sergei Lavrov, the often-combative Russian foreign minister, an opportunity to tweak Clinton...
(B)efore their meal in a hotel conference room with a panoramic view of Geneva, Clinton presented Lavrov with a palm-size box wrapped in a green ribbon. Lavrov opened it and pulled out a yellow-and-black plastic box with a red button that clicked -- a symbol of the Obama administration's determination to "reset" the relationship, as Vice President Biden phrased it last month in Germany.
Lavrov, a tough-minded diplomat, burst out in a smile. At Clinton's urging, Lavrov joined her in jointly pressing the button down for the benefit of the cameras.
The word "Reset" was beneath the button, and the Russian word "Peregruzka" was above it.
"We worked hard to get the right Russian word," Clinton said. "Do you think we got it?"
Lavrov, who never misses an opportunity for a diplomatic jab, bluntly said, "You got it wrong." The word, he pointed out, was two letters off -- it should have been "Perezagruzka." What was there, he added, actually means "overcharge."
Clinton burst out in laughter and declared, "We won't let you do that to us."

So i guess your point is that bankruptcy because of health care costs is not a problem and we should keep things exactly the way they are. Nice plan there dipshit.
The conservative view on health care: If you can't afford it, just die already.

Good job! Sources are nice. Quote:
It's priceless how you thought whatever the fuck you were talking about involved "crunching numbers". Have fun at the early bird special, old timer!
We are disputing numbers. Let's see this in depth analysis:
Quote:
FactCheck: What Obama's Speech Got Wrong | Newsweek
http://www.newsweek.com/id/186554
From the article:
Quote:
Data from the U.S. Courts show about 934,000 personal bankruptcies in the 12-month period ending June 2008. There are about 32 million seconds in a year. So someone filed for bankruptcy roughly every 30 seconds last year. But even a very high estimate, like the Harvard study we looked at last year, would only attribute half of those personal bankruptcies to medical expenses. So that's one health-related bankruptcy every minute at most.
Using 2008 data, now if bankruptcies have doubled this year, like the chart I posted indicates, that makes the President's number correct.
Quote:
"False Talking Point Alert -- Number Two in a Series"
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/03/false-talking-1.html
This article takes issue with the 2005 Harvard study saying health issues were a factor in 50% of bankruptcies. It then gives the same 2008 figures as the Newsweek article.
Quote:
"Obama's Bankruptcy Math Has to Be Wrong"
http://www.openmarket.org/2009/02/25/obamas-bankruptcy-math-has-to-be-wrong/
Again, from the article:
Quote:
This numbers seems a little high, even considering that 2008 was a year with a lot of a bankruptcies.
Yes, the numbers seem a little high, when you use stale data.
Quote:
"An Oba-Oops, Or just a lie"
http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2009/02/an-obaoops-or-just-a-lie.html[
Consider the source. But, from the article:
Quote:
According to the WaPo on January 4, 08 and CNN Money for 08 and 09 projected, while it likely justifies his annual number, health care isn't even listed in the items.
Of couse not, because that's not what the articles are talking about. From the CNN article they say does not mention health care:
Quote:
The only benefit to filing Chapter 13, according to Williams, is the opportunity to hold onto your home. That's if your mortgage company is willing to work with you on a repayment plan.
Quote:
Tide turning? ABC News nails Obama for healthcare lie
http://www.ihatethemedia.com/abc-news-obama-healthcare-lie
Again, consider the source. The article quotes the ABC News numbers debunked above, and tries this:
Quote:
Benefits will include Jack in the Box tacos and beer and Thursday night poker.
So, lost in this minutia is your point - what was it? Health care reform is not needed, is that what you are saying? Data from last summer still reflects what is going on in the economy? That there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has nukes and the next warning sign may come in the form of a mushroom cloud? That the Obama administration might stretch numbers to try to save the economy and achieve access to health care for all Americans? That you can sling mud? That the Republicans were competent, and Brownie did a heckuva job?
Enough of this, come up with something a little bigger. You will be greeted as a liberator.

My parents (Gods forgive their born-again Christian, Far-Right, Republican souls) when talking about a National Health Care system, claim Obama is trying to turn this country socialist. This is stated without ever once giving consideration to the fact that they are already collecting Social Security (which was decried as socialism in 1935 when it was enacted) and receive their health care from a taxpayer subsidized National Health Care system already in place (Medicaid) whose participation is limited (discriminated) by age.
The entire purpose of government is to provide for the national defense, maintain the nation's infrastructure and economy, and care for the well-being of it's citizens.
That any person in this country (the ONLY industrialized nation on the planet WITHOUT a National Healthcare System) suffers because to do otherwise would eat into the "profit margin" is, at the very least, criminally negligent.

It sure looks to me like that graph shows it wasn't a problem before Obama came along. Quote:

Hey, it does look like the shit didn't start hitting the fan until the Democrats took over. Anyway...
People are filing BK for many reasons. Sure, lack of insurance is one of them. But other more obvious reasons would be loss of income or financial irresponsibility. A majority of the BK's now are people that are just walking away from their financial obligations because it's easier.
A couple years back all my neighbors were doing multiple refi's as their home prices went through the roof. They weren't socking money away for their kids college, they were leasing Bentley's and yachts, charging $50k a month on their black cards - that sort of shit. A vast majority of these fuckers are now whining to me that if they can't do a short sale, they'll be 'forced' into BK too. These are the same ass-wipes that were giving me shit for driving a perfectly good 2 year old ML500 instead of 'taking out some equity and upgrading.'
I say fuck them and any idiot that didn't buy health insurance and was too stupid to 'pull a mexican' and get free health services at the clinic or county hospital. Health coverage isn't a right. Want health insurance? Make money and buy it or go to work for an employer that will subsidize it.

Conservatives represent corporate interests who want economic and regulatory freedom and no help for the middle class, and social conservatives who want to use the Government to force their narrow religious views on everyone else. Freedom means the ability to keep all the money you make, wield your power over others, and own guns. Irritations are people who want to allow "sin" and being taxed to help others. Solution to the economic crisis is more of the same.
Progressives represent people who care for the poor and the middle class, who believe in the original intent of incorporation that these companies should function for the common good, and believe that freedom is expressed through being able to do what you want in your private life. Irritations are invasions of personal freedom and failures of the safety net. Solution to the economic crisis is to help rescue the middle class.
Libertarians represent people who think we should live like the days of the Wild, Wild West, no rules, the Government should not help anyone or hinder them. Irritations are any rules that are not needed to prevent obvious mayhem or murder. Solution to the economic crisis is none of the Government's business.

I think more people would take libertarians seriously if they had some kind of remotely realistic policy proposals. No, "legalize all drugs, bring all troops home, return to gold standard and abolish all taxes" doesn't count.
That being said, many of my favorite authors identified themselves as libertarians or have been claimed by libertarians as their own. Too bad most current libertarians are bunch of pretenders without any will to power...

I do take the moral high ground, as I see it. We all should.
Gag Factor is good, wholesome entertainment. Art.
Or, I could hit on the new women in AA, tell them some lies, set them up. Or pick up infected crack whores. Or become a "hobbyist". Or waste lots of time an effort for something disappointing.
Nope, I don't see porn as a great moral infraction.

Progressives care about poor people because they make up so much of the voting block for them. In particular they care about keeping them dependent to their federally funded programs so that every four years they can play the "whoever I'm running against is going to cut your entitlements" card.
Libertarians don't believe in no government. We believe in keeping government's noses where they belong. Federal government takes care of federal issues (national defense, immigration, foreign policy, global trade, natural disasters that affect portions of many states, etc.) state government takes care of state issues (state infrastructure, state university systems, water rights, etc.) local government takes care of local issues (zoning laws, liquor laws, what is or isn't taught at primary schools, snow emergency routes, etc.) . We believe in government but that government has set boundaries and strict limits within those boundaries to keep the government from becoming The Creature That Ate Cleveland.
