Why do you say that? I thought Obama was going to create all those new jobs. When he said change, I thought he meant a good change not a change like this "I predict there will be MORE government assistance programs created/and or expanded, as the need for them increases!"

Yes, I will be impressed when there are people working and zero's behind the 2. This story is just a press bite, feel good, story. Not impressive. Besides, last I read, it wasn't our president that gave them the home.

How about we give the Prez the chance to do his job? How about we see that it is better to do something than to do nothing? How about we all do what WE can, our part, before we throw him out with the bathwater? I'd rather be out in the garden and grow my own food-take care of my own.............. than whine about the powers that be. John Baptiste Moliére: It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. ps: this was not directed at LaTigresse personally. It was aimed at *all* of us.

When you have money problems, you don't run out and start spending more money. You tighten your belt. When a company loses money and creates a giant clusterfuck, you don't give the SOBs more money. quote: How about we all do what WE can, our part, before we throw him out with the bathwater? Like what? quote: I'd rather be out in the garden and grow my own food-take care of my own.............. than whine about the powers that be. Splendid, you should take care of your own affairs. But you certainly don't lie back and allow government officials free reign.

You know I hated the pro-Bush blind, and their constant Bush spin, But I have to say the Obama worshipers are make the Bush lackeys look like amateurs. It's all good though, as the burn out will just come the quicker the more people idolize him now, especially in threads like this to where he did nothing, at all and the faithful are still trying to give him credit. So, far Obama has lifted restriction on family planning clinics in foreign countries allowing them to get funding even if they promote abortion(I'm against all this type of funding regardless, so bad). He's banned torture(good). He's continued the bush economic policies(bad). Did I miss something. What's to worship.

Since he IS in office. So, what are you doing about it besides kvetching here? I am off to do something. I've had my say.

Common sense tells me that these sort of programs are band-aids at best. They are not meant as a lifestyle, and that's how many people are using them.

We all know, don't we? ... that TPTB (It's a paranoid term, Google-able) would NEBER choreograph some Presidential Town Hall meetin', now don't we?

Seems to me San Diego has the homeless problem not Florida. If symbolic gestures are being made, I wonder why it didn’t happen there?

Honestly, looking on from an interested, but but not strongly involved point, all this "GObama" looks as ridiculous at this point, as the many spurious Obama bashing threads do, and the "OMG, you can not bash Bush, that is unamerican!!!" did. Yes, what happens now is important, I understand that, but commenting on Obamas every burp? That only makes your side look bad, especially if the poster has not done his/her homework before posting. Both sides in this ugly little campaign have been guilty of doing this ad nauseam in the last days.
