Howard mentioned two weeks ago that Artie wanted to come in and tell his story. No word since.

Not really according to Mark Knoller, CBS News White House Correspondant who has covered every President since Gerald Ford. At this point in each of their presidency, Bush had spent all or part of 225 days "on vacation." Obama has spent all or part of 70 days away.

I watched that video clip. Lady, I have a word for people who can afford to send two kids to private school and it ain't "middle-class."

Not true. I have friends who send their kids to private school and they are middle class. They also don't take vacations, buy new cars, etc. to be able to afford the school. The public school they would have attended is patrolled by police, has a poor education record, and is constantly being disrupted by gang fights (this is an elementary school). They just chose to put their kids before a lavish lifestyle.

The Obama Plant Academy has affordable private institutions in various locations across the United States.

I wonder if free healthcare is included if you attend one of the academies?

Not sure. All I know is they're tired, entitled and waiting for Obama to answer the question by blaming everything on Bush.

Great day today, for healthcare reform. As of today insurance companies can no longer refuse to insure children and drop them for pre-existing conditions, nor can they lifetime cap out. Nor can insurance companies deny coverage for pre-existings.

Great day for healthcare reform. Not there yet by a long shot, but it's a start.

Oh, pesky reality ...

As long as you're overlooking the massive rate increases then it is success! Yes go Obama!

Yeah, some insurance companies are definitely trying to use this opportunity to screw the consumer and blame Obama. Sebilius addressed that the other day. Of course, having consumer protection is Hitlerian or Socialist or Marxist or Communist or Muslim or something, right?

Im sure Obama will deny that there will be any rate increases. Another one of his numerous lies and im sure not the last lie he says.

Okay I actually took the six minutes to watch not only the woman's question but also Obama's response. From what I saw, she was saying, "Things are pretty good now for me now, but I'm getting really scared about the future; where's the change we were promised?" and Obama said, "I understand your fears; here's what we've done so far to try to get the country back on track going forward." So now I'm not getting what all the hullabaloo is about; it seemed like a pretty straightforward question and answer. I guess Obama's big mistake was in not vetting the crowd ahead of time so that the toughest question he'd get would be, "How often do you want us to pray for you, Mr. President, since you were sent on a mission from God." In that respect, GWB was MUCH smarter than Obama. Obama is foolish enough to take questions from people who disagree with him.

What I don't get is, we've had 30 years of declining incomes, which are now finally catching up to us and people can't understand why Obama hasn't fixed everything in a year and a half? What is the matter with people? Bush's two unfunded wars would be more than enough for one administration to try to fix, but this is just several decades of bad tax policy coming home to roost and he's being blamed because Congress is trapped by a minority party that would rather see the country go to hell than see the wealthy's taxes go up by two percent?

So, in that respect I think the woman's question was a bit uninformed, but not nearly the big deal it's been made out to be.

The bleeding is becoming life threatening in here.
