hehehehehehe That's what I like about you, Liz.. You don't pull any punches.. :D But seriously.. I have already addressed the "benefit" of the pre-existing conditions issue. There are absolutely NO CONTROLS over the pricing structure... Insurance Rep:"So, your policy will come out to $6500 per year.. What?? You have a pre-existing condition?? Did I say '$6500 a year'?? I meant $65,000 a year. My mistake." Does anything in CrapCare prevent that? Nope.. Nada.. Zilch.. Zero.. As far as keeping kids on the policy til they are 25-26, another benny for the Insurance companies.. Instead of cutting kids out of policies at age 18 and losing all that money, Insurance Companies can keep them on and continue charging the parents more for another 7 or 8 years.. Are ya'all SURE that the Insurance CEOs didn't write up CrapCare??? 30 Million new customers that HAVE to buy insurance or face jail time.. Absolutely NO price controls. CrapCare is an Insurance Company's wet dream.. Ya'all are so blinded by this Democrat Pyrrhic victory, you can't see the harm that it will do to Americans. I am still waiting for something from CrapCare that actually benefits Joe or Jane Q Public... Anyone??? Anyone??? Beuhler??? Michale.....

Stan,

Forget the general public...I'd be happy enough if someone could get that information out to Michale - post haste!

There are some benefits that kick in once the bill is signed while others won't go into effect for 2 or 3 years. I am sure there is a list on line somewhere but a big one protecting people from being denied or dropped due to pre-existing conditions or actually getting sick. Another is allowing parents to keep their children on their policies until they are 25 (or it may be 26). I have been disappointed that the Dems have not been getting this information out to the general public.

With regards to Obama's poll numbers I too am hoping that he will get a bump from the SOTU and a more sustained increase in approval numbers once healthcare passes and people experience the benefits. Not wanting to start a brawl here (really) but what exactly are those "benefits" you are referring to?? Even allowing that there are "benefits" (a magnanimous allowance, to be sure) as the legislation stands now, they won't kick in for at least another 3-5 years. Now, the taxes and mandates and penalties and possibly jail time.... now THOSE will kick in right aways.. But I am sure you would agree with me that those are hardly "benefits".... Insurance company CEOs must be jumping with glee at the prospects of all those new clients without having to give up one iota of control over pricing and the lot.. A bunch of someone's sure sold their collective souls to Lucifer to get this CrapCare passed.. Of course, all of the afore presupposes that CrapCare will pass Constitutional muster.. A doubtful prospect at that. Michale......

With regards to Ford I think you are correct that his presidency was unusual. The polls reflect the difficult and unpopular decisions he had to make. My understanding is that Ford did not want to be President and did not want to run again so he was able to make decisions without considering the political consequences to himself. As you mention, Obama did anger a lot of people by taking impeachment and even censure of Bush off the table but I think that was more to do with his hope for bipartisan support rather than worrying about his re-election to a second term.
