The Obama team figures that the people in this country are pretty stupid, and I think they are right. Enough people voted for Obama to get him elected. I figure that makes for a lot of stupid people. Or maybe I should say a lot of people ignorant of what they voted for.

I figure there are more than surmised so far, that fit the stupid mold. Voting for the same ole candidates because they are "the lessor of", and getting deeper and deeper into the same hole, while complaining all the way, while still voting for these same clowns ON BOTH SIDES.

TM7. Don't forget "race" as an election issue. Over 90 % of Afro-Americans voted for him and he had the majority of other visible minorities as well.

Everybody acts like popular vote elects the president rather than the electoral college. when was the last time you believe that really happened??

Team Nelson....how would you alter or change this course if it was assigned to you..? It won't go away on its own.

There is nothing any one man can do to alter the corrupt will of 300 million people; we are where we are because we let it happen. I for one think that "stupid" is an inappropriate description of Americans. "Ignorant" is more applicable; "willfully ignorant" I would argue.

I too voted for RP; at best I hoped he would mitigate the damage on the way down.

Yup... and if the Government takes over they will do it in half the time or less.

No doubt we need health reform, but we sure as heck don't need the government to run it. Name one government run program that isn't in-efficient, in-affective and or broke.

Hi All
I understand that drug companies make as much as 2300% markup on their drugs. I think price regulation on drugs would be a good start.
What would happen if we all decided to markup that much?
Price controls were used during WW2. Most of the drugs they say that cost them so much to develop is BS. Universities all over the country discover new drugs and they snatch them up and make slight modifications such as a coating in the pill and patent them. Then claim millions to develop. Unfair markup is not fair profit. Of course you have to pay off a few politicians to get away with it.
Just my thinking

As a nation very very very very very stupid. After all look at the last three who got elected to run this country. After that do you really have to ask?

They are counting on your 15 minute attention span to forget all about the health plan when they go back in session.

Calling us stupid is an understatement. We have become a pandering pool of dependants crying for hand outs.

I think the working man is going to have to help himself. Waiting for help to come is what has caused this country to fall into the dire straits it is in now. I am afraid alot of blood will have to be shed to get ourselves back on course.

I sincerely haven't watched the news in years. Just turned on CNN and voila, there's a hottie with her shirt unbuttoned so we get a good view of her cleavage ... and were supposed to take her as a serious source of information? I retract my previous post. We ARE stupid. We're also happily stupid. We don't care what the facts are, so long as that neckline keeps plunging.

When they come for your guns, it won't be big guys with tactical gear. It'll be the Hooters girls, and many will gladly give 'em up.
