Agreed. I have no idea when that sign was put up, but if by now people haven't realized that

1) Obama isn't a Muslim, and
2) even if he was a Muslim, so bloody what? and
3) freedom of religion is one of the tenets of this country, and
4) this country was not created by God or by Allah, but by men, some of whom were Deists, others of whom were Masons, but all of whom would not approve of this type of racism/xenophobia masquerading as "defending the faith"

then God help them.

But will he be able to get the public option for healthcare??

CBS polls have found 72% of American want a public option of a single payer plan. Yet pharmaceutical and doctors have dish out cash for vote. Arlen Specter have received over $500,000, senator Mary Landreu received over $1.5 million from pharm corporation. Those are the kind of political clout these corporation are buying for their vote. Theories have already shown that having a public option for health insurance was the major key to reduce national debt. The frank Luntz talking point are not even worth a giggle that is so far reaching for the reason to not let a single payer plan go forward, that most Americans are just not buying the song and dance of public option. If its so bad why do the politician themselves have their own govt health plan?

Excellent points 3derot.

There should be a public option plan. It makes sense. The Repubs claim to love competition so much... this is competition for godssake!!

The Repubs are infuriating sometimes, becasue so many are so obviously controlled by their corporate overlords.

I don't care if there's a $3000.00 per year deductible.

As long as there's reasonable insurance (maybe $800 to $1200 a year) so that somebody can't get screwed over if they have a 'pre-existing condition', then its all gravy.

Sometimes I can't believe i live in a society that allows the whole pre-existing condition scam. One of my buddies is caught in that trap. He had some liver condition before he got insurance, so now, ANYTHING having to do with that (which is his only medical problem) is not covered. America sucks sometimes. Its the best place in the world if you're fabulously wealthy, but not so good if you just want to be middle class.

'nother Obama toon........................

Bill Maher said it best.

"The Republican party is the weakest its been in 50 years. If Obama and the Democrats can't shove universal healthcare down their throats now, they never will."

It is so infuriating. Is it that the Dems are afraid of the kind of Repub backlash i.e. the 1994 election?

Argg!!!!
