So...26 members of the republican party learned to read. Good for them.
Heh, a democrat-controlled Congress passed the extension unchanged in 2009 and Obama signed it.

they is just so damn successful at it, that is why they are still poor!
The leeches within our society have been conditioned for generations that as long as they receive monthly welfare checks and food stamps, there's no need for them to actually seek employment.
but they ain't the only ones, and some of the others are VERY, VERY successful moochers and leeches.
True dat. Professional democrat politicians have carved out entire lucrative careers promoting class warfare.

It actually goes further back than that.
The democrats' social engineering experiment (aka, The Great Society) with its out-of-control spending has been going on since the mid-1960's. The democrats have spent like drunken sailors on shore leave for decades. The cost of giving something to "poor" people (i.e., the generational leeches and moochers in our society) for nothing is bankrupting America.

Some programs to consider being axed or altered:
terminate the Food Stamp program;
cut federal pay by 50 percent; cut the federal work force by 25 percent;
end funding to NPR/PBS;
end all foreign aid (except in cases of natural emergencies);
elimination of the thousands of overlapping social (i.e., handout) programs for the "poor";
removal of federal highway funding for any state that offers financial incentives to people entering the U.S. illegally

Great to see the republicans are looking to cut significantly, which is what they were elected to do. Democrats only want to spend significantly until they get tossed out of office; leaving republicans to clean up their messes....again!

Judge Vinson's ruling puts this poor piece of legislation onto the fast track to the Supreme Court. Sorry, liberals, but the constitutionalists outnumber the 'touchy, feely' justices on the bench, so ObamaCare will ultimately be defeated. And better sooner than later. If the SC ruling can come in a year, instead of two or three, it will save us taxpayers and seriously reduce our future debt.

The legal issue here is whether the democrat-controlled Congress and Obama over-stepped the "Commerce Clause" and can force citizen's into buying healthcare insurance -- or any other product for that matter -- under penalty of fines and imprisonment.
This will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, and I'm willing to bet it will uphold Judge Vinson's ruling.
Global liberals can shake their li'l fists and shriek all they want, but our Constitution is the only protection we have against a tyrannical government.

Now the Obama has to hope the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals will overturn Judge Vinson's ruling. Heh, good luck with that.

Thank you, Judge Vinson. It was obvious from the start that ObamaCare does not meet the Commerce Clause. It would be the same as requiring everyone to buy auto insurance when there are quite a few Americans who don't drive or own a vehicle.

Finally, judges following our laws of the land.
The objections of 26 states bringing the suit against the government, saying it is unconstitutional because ObamaCare requires ALL people to purchase healthcare; and constitutionally, according to our laws, the government cannot force any of us to purchase anything.
Heh, another wooden stake into the heart of this monster.

This is a very good thing for all hard-working Americans who had good healthcare that has been compromised since ObamaCare came into being. A win for tax-paying Americans.

He is guilty, we already know that.
He's innocent until proven guilty. Besides, Japan has no "Son of Sam" laws. He's free to do whatever he wants.

Obama disappointed Americans last night. He just regurgitated the same old stuff he's been saying for years now, with a few changed words. Runaway spending now becomes "investment". More stimulus becomes "Investment".

It stopped your country's economy from going under.
Pure nonsense. Obama's highly touted "stimulus" package did nothing for the U.S. economy -- like keeping unemployment at 8 percent -- except maybe allowing some states to stay afloat so they can sink now instead of back then.
The fundamentals of the economy and why it was going down were not addressed in the stimulus. It was an absolute failure.

Obama already had his chance for "investment". American people still remember the $800 million stimulus he wanted so badly and it produced nothing when it came to infrastructure, except for road signs claiming your tax dollars hard at work and "shovel ready" jobs that even he admitted did not exist.
If the American people buy into Obama's line of "investment" BS a second time, we are basically finished as anything but a third world nation.
