Actually I thought it more an indictment of Obama's supporters. It was a person
on his conference call that made the suggestion, whether they were serious or
not, but I'm inclined to think they were. I got the impression the WH rolled
their eyes at the suggestion.< As for Obamacare, more affordable for who? For
those who could not get it before. But everyone else is paying for their
subsidies, making their premiums raise as much as 50% or more and get less bang
for their buck or receive benefits they never needed or wanted. Of course the
insurance companies like it, they have mandatory customers . I'm not sure at
this point that it's more profitable for them but at least they can make up for
any loss by increasing their volume. Increasing jobs is also debatable. Some
jobs will be created in the medical field to take up the increased volume. More
jobs will be lots or not created by the restrictions the government has made on
businesses. Hours will be cut at many jobs to avoid the full time category,
which will save a company from having to pay for insurance.

Not at all - I don't think you are a racist either. But this is just really
dirty, even for politics, and as I said feels a little racist to me, for the
reasons I mentioned. It also has nothing to do with his policies, just a
personal attack.
I do find it ironic that many Republicans have vowed to shut down "Obamacare",
which in addition to closing many loopholes, and making healthcare more
affordable, has been a huge boon for the healthcare industry, boosting profits,
and creating jobs.

Agreed - It always feels a little racist to me also, this whole scaredy-cat
routine over Barack Obama's patriotism and place of birth. There is an ugliness
to raising this as an issue, that hasn't been applied to other recent
Presidents. Clearly a smear campaign to undermine his legitimacy. Sometimes I
wonder who the far right are working for, since some appear completely opposed
to our current way of life in this country.

I'm afraid not, Mike. Both your posts on this were wildly misleading.
The very notion of Obama changing Thanksgiving Day to Immigrants Day is
preposterous, but it fits smoothly into the anti-Obama nonsense that the far
right indulges in all the time: Obama is not an American, therefore he does not
revere Thanksgiving like all good Americans do, and he wants to change it to
Immigrants day because he is sympathetic to the flood of illegals that are
pouring in and ruining this once-great country of ours, and is of course an
immigrant himself (and an illegal one, too).

You should really check your sources before passing on nonsense like that.

Well that's perfect then considering all the pilgrims were immigrants. I like
it!

I think the observances that are appropriate are Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Don't think D Day is a National Holiday
