BY THE WAY......SOMEBODY REALLY NEEDS TO READ SOME OF THESE COMMENTS THAT ARE LEFT ON HERE AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE. TRULY LISTEN.....WE WANT TO KNOW IF "MR. PRESIDENT" IS REALLY FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THEIR PROBLEMS. I'M THINKING NOT. THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE, THE HEALTH CARE PROPOSAL, BASICALLY THE WHOLE OBAMA CAMPAIGN SUCKS. STRAIGHTEN IT OUT "SIR" AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY.

Do you honestly think that fining people for not buying health insurance is a smart thing to do? Don't you think that if they had the money they would get insurance? This is one of the more stupid things I've heard lately and it sickens me. Why don't you put some money into checking the welfare and disability system...check out the people who are being "kept" and I bet you'll find over half of them don't deserve to be getting money. I know several people who are more than able to work and are getting more money a month that I'll ever see. My daughter just got turned down for disability; 2 days later they were faxed a letter from her doctor that said that it was critical that she get help. But do they care? No, because she's not a foreigner or a person of anything other than white. Sorry but that's the way it is, truthfully. So if anything happens to my daughter, and several of her illnesses are life threatening, all hell is going to break loose because I am sick and tired of these so-called professionals telling people if they can work or not. Why don't they do their jobs and really check the medical records of these people who apply? There really are people like my daughter who need help. And no one will help her.
So you see, if she had money (she hasn't been able to work for years and has not one penny coming in) don't you think she'd get insurance? I know she would so fining someone like her is ridiculous. Spend money on the systems and insurances that are already in place. Refine them, study them more closely, clean them up....makes more sense than what you're proposing to do. Are you really for the people? Doesn't sound like it to me.

President Obama
I feel the time has come where you need to step up and start putting pressure on Iran and Palastine. You need to make it very clear that such behavior from both nations is not acceptable especailly Iran. This whole ordeal of Iran trying to go ahead and build it's nuclear program is not very safe for that region or the rest fo the world..... Israel belongs to god that is his nation.

I have been ready to follow President Obama anywhere, but I feel like maybe we are backing down here, as to what we originally wanted and the reason the President was elected in the first place, was a single payer ins. plan or something very similar and now we are told that our health ins. will be manditory. Although I love President Obama very much, I feel like we are back peddling here. I am not so worried about more taxes as I am that we are not getting what we bargained for. I was around when they put into effect the manditory car insurance, and pretty much those that did not have it before still don't cause they just can't afford it, and most like don't yet have it. I also remember that when they made it manditory that the price of car insurance went up sky high, because the ins. companies new they had us, and then there was no possable way those people could afford it!! and then they not only don't have car insurance but they are breaking the law and when they get stopped and get a ticket, that just takes food out of there childrens' mouths. Wheres the justice there? There has to be a better way, I just don't think this manditory thing will work. And I would rather we stuck to our guns on what we want rather than to keep comprimizing on what we have wanted and needed desperatly for so long. If other countries like France and Canada can do it, so can we!!
Thank You,
Sandra Trulson

HELP ME!!!!!! I'M ON DISABILTY, AND PAY A PREMIUM FROM MY DISABILITY CHECK, AND HAVE TO PAY 598.00 EVERY OTHER MONTH, PRETTY MUCH 300.00 MONTHLY ALONE TO COVER MY OTHER INS. COVERAGE... THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE PRESCIPTION MEDICATIONS....
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME?
I HAVE CHECKED OUT ALL WEBSITES I COULD FIND... there aren't any for me.........
You never respond and I don't expect a response from you now.
This new agenda for HealthCare, how will it help me?
If I recieve no response, I'll believe that you don't care about me, or my other fellow disabled fellow Americans. Why shouldn't our Government respond to us who cannot attend Town Hall Meetings?
Where is our voice? Why don't you address this?
As far as anything else MR. President, plz. don't disarm us as of yet.... I and my family are scared. Why are you doing this? I'M SPEAKINTG NUCLEAR OF COURSE... YOU FRIGHTEN ME MR. PRESIDENT.
I know YOU wanted change, and campaigned under that guise.
Please...., My family in middle CA are suffering from MS. Pelosis's wanted to save to "MINNOW FISH"???? OMG! Really?
Thousands of our crops are dying here in CA, already in despair.
Why not, just scoop out a few and create a farm MS. Pelosi can care for in her own special DAM?
WE are suffering in CA because of decisions made not by the general POPULI.
Plz.pay attention Mr.President if you truly care about ALL of us...

Mr. President. You are failing this country. You want to make it legal for way more than 12 Million Illegal imigrants to become citizens....NO WAY. Send them home and if they really want to live and work in the land of oportunity then they need to come here legally. Listen to the American people cry out to you. Stop and listen. I read that in AZ in 2008 illegal imigrants used 38 billion dollars in health care alone. Do you think they are going to pay that back? No, they won't. They need to go back and come to this country legally. That's what my ancestors did and that's what needs to be done.

Dear, Obama.
-Truth be told imma cut the bull. Im 16 years old about to have a baby girl in Nov. 21. My parents abandoned me here 1 years ago. i live alone. All i know is the U.S. being that fact i got here when i was 2-4. I was wondering if you could tell me how i could get the right to work and reside in the US. Not for me but for my baby girl. yes i had to drop out of school and messed up a couple times. But i have learned my lessons. Please let me know. Best regards, Emmanuel B. Hilerio. P.S. AWSOME job in office so far.

I know one thing for sure: NEVER expect everyone to agree with you.
Socialism isn't the answer to everything. We Americans love the freedoms that we have and stripping away our rights and freedoms will not do any good. All it will do is anger everyone and makes things worse than what they already are.

Taking away peoples jobs so a fish can thrive is unbelievable. There are ways to maintain the survival of a little fish without resorting to making people's worst nightmare a reality. It isn't just the farmers that are going to hurt from this ridiculous decision. Millions of citizens are going to hurt because of this decision.

Everyone keeps talking about all the wonderful progress that they see. Progress? What progress? I, along with many others, have seen no progress, have no relieft in sight, and still worry about our jobs.

Health insurance mandatory? Are you kidding me?! How in heaven's name do you expect us to pick up that tab when most of us can barely pay the taxes that we already have?!!!!! Is Congress that stupid or just that out of touch with the public?

President Obama, I am here to talk on health care reform. We need reform, we just don't need reform now. It's a $900 Billon program, that we just can't afford. Those savings are cut in Medicare and Medicaid, some of which my family relies on. The only way I can see this being paid is raising the taxes, or borrowing money, or other cuts in other departments of the United States of America. And also, I'm an Independent, but instead of worrying about that 40% minority, protect the people who got you into offfice, people like my family and I. You need to ignore those critcs, that's they're job, punch them in the face. Thank you.

Hey Mister President,

I would love if you could do something to help stop the big investors from stealing all the properties that are for sale right now. Sure, now is a great time to buy, but the people who were smart and didn't get into trouble with loans they knew they couldn't afford are being screwed over now because getting a loan is so difficult, and when you finally can get approved people are coming in with full cash offers and pulling people's dreams out from under them.

It sucks. The rich always get richer and the poor continue on their destitute journey.

Please do something more to help out the "lower" and "middle" class people.

Thanks,

Jess

P.S. I love that you called Kanye West a jackass - he totally was and deserved every ounce of criticism he got.

Unfortunately it appears that the Neo-Cons have done very well in creating distrust and outright hatred of the Government as we have seen in the recent "Tea-Parties." Its too bad that these people who are demonstrating do not realize that the "entities" they should be demonstrating against are the Corporations in this country that OWN our country and through the right-wing faction of the Republican Party have set the Government up as the straw-dog....while they laugh all the way to the bank(s) which, of course, they also OWN. Wake Up Citizens!!!

I wish this administration would just get our money back. I think they can not get it back because they have no idea where it is and what it was used for. Oh yes I have one question for the President. "Are you going to enroll in your health care." No I am sure this is only for the poor and uninsured. Hey America only 3 more years of this guy.

Typical that you only post comments from people who kneel before Emperor Obama. That's real Democracy in action.

So how much does the poor slob that has the job of monitoring this site make ? White House MySpace Monitor ? If it's not 6 figures ask for a raise. Oh wait....your the MySpace Czar.

I feel that everyone needs to give our president a chance and stop putting him down. He has only been in office 8 months. We didnt get in this mess over night and it isn't going to be fixed overnight. Keep up the good work President Obama, I think you will end up showing everyone that you are doing the right thing and things will smooth out soon. I see it getting better by next summer.
