re: #193 Diego

What would you rather, I blow them? Effectively, that’s what every POTUS has done. I figure, better to cut the apron strings and go it alone, change/develop energy sources at home, and form new partnerships, than keep shooting ourselves in the foot pandering to assholes.

In re healthcare - you’re making an argument for socialism. I can agree with the points of the problem, but not the solution. In real life, I’m a self-employed capitalist, and have been for years. I’ve seen the government at work, and there’s no reason to think Obama is less of a bureaucrat, and more efficient. None. (Cash for Clunkers, anyone?) Therefore, I don’t believe in decimating insurance companies to provide a nanny state.
