If she is "overhyped up by the media" then I hope she is over hyped the rest of her life. She was a lady who had never been kissed at 47 according to her claim on Britain's got talent. After a lifetime of obscured talent it was brought into the light and now she has made it big; very big. My hope is that many can enjoy her and those mean spirited individuals can just stew in their jealousy of true success that has been delayed for her for so long.

sailwind always gets his questions answered and then claims no one answered his question. He is greatly confused with people answering his question and saying things he likes to hear. People answer his questions but he just doesn't like the answers so he claims they did not answer.
The conservatives have so poisoned the well that America is not aware of what the Health Care Reform law is actually about. I continue to list its attributes but nobody from the right will even speak about the benefits that I have listed.
People will often overlook a benefit that they are entitled too if they are unaware of it. Obama is doing his best to make sure all Americans understand the benefits created by the new HCR law.
Furthermore if someone has lied about the law so often and so well that many Americans believe the lies then it is prudent that the President make clear what the actual law is. sailwind might ask himself why the Republicans continue to spread misinformation now that the HCR bill is now law. The answer is clear to sailwind's original question. We will not stand idly by and allow Americans to be told the law is something that it is not and we will try to make up for the damage that the Republicans were unfortunately successful in inflicting on the truth about what the HCR law is and is not.
Most Americans do not know the following; but they should:

Precisely why he's right and you are wrong.
People are not telling the truth when they say Obama is a socialist. People are not telling the truth when they say Democrats voted to allow sex offenders to receive free Viagra.
There never was a vote to allow sex offenders to receive free Viagra.

You are only proving how unaware you are of the issues. The banks were not taking the risk of the loan; the U.S. Government was. If banks are not taking the risk they should not collect the interest. It is that simple. There was also a modest increase in Pell Grant assistance in the law (we should put a lot more money into encouraging more students to further their education). Not only will the government not be controlling the private universities. They will not be controlling state universities either. You obviously don't have a grasp on the facts.
Both your numbers are so far off that any correction would be hopeless. I can post facts all day long but as the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

Nice diatribe. I take it you did not go to a liberal arts college. Or just maybe you don't think people should advance in education at all.

As people realize that the Republicans lied about what the health care bill was and is, now that it is in effect, less and less people will be against it. Over time many small businesses will benefit by offering health insurance like larger size companies, thus attracting a higher caliber of employees and will also grow to appreciate it. I don't however see American's falling in love with the changes. The changes are far too subtle and are put into effect in in such a graduated manner to bring some great level of excitement. I predict that over time Americans will warm up nicely to the new set of laws. The conservatives have one and only one thing they can continually bitch about. That is the requirement to carry health insurance. Not only will that bitching get old but it will only be a small percentage of the populace that minds abiding by the law. The other provisions of the law consists of a lengthy list of almost never ending benefits. It is unfortunate that some of the greatest benefits of all do not take place immediately.

This is the cutting edge of science. Some people will never get it. Just as we have benefited from understanding atomic particles and waves we will benefit even more as we one day gain a vast understanding of subatomic particles. Money well spent. It will supply a plethora of knowledge that we did not even know about that can be turned into real life technology one day.

People on the right were calling this socialism too because they aren't all that bright. I explained then that the banks should not be collecting interest if they were not taking any risk. I said I had no problem with the banks charging service charges which they will now still receive.

What a joke sailwind!
Why didn't you include the statement by the conservative activist; maybe you were saving that one.
So 2,0000 students threatened her. ha ha! If that is what you are claiming "threatening" means. You can't have it both ways. The article said 2,000 "threatening" students.
