I am butting in, but would love to answer your questions. I have reasons for every belief I have, and I'd like to know the reasons for others' beliefs when they believe differently than I do.

I do have a few questions for you; Should healthcare be a business or a service to the public? Should someone, besides some insurance executive have control of your healthcare?
Healthcare should be a business because it is not one of the enumerated activities the government is granted in the US Constitution. Healthcare is an intensely PRIVATE business for the patient. He can trust no one talks about his health care or private information. Hospitals have strict rules about that, and those abusing those rules WILL BE PUNISHED. Additionally the patient can sue the hospital and get a fair hearing. Government could also set up the same rules, but have you not noticed that government employees are not the best secret keepers? Do you think for one minute that a ne'er-well-to-do in government would hesitate one second to steal your private information and use it illegally and harmfully if he could make money off it? Would the government, his employer punish him? Have you seen any punishment of government employees who have committed crimes recently? If the patient sued the government do you really believe there would be a chance of winning?
Exactly how are we weaker in the world? Does these mean some middle east countries are no longer afraid we are going to attack them because we don't like their rulers?
We are weaker in the world because the world sees us as weaker. They see us as weaker because they see a Commander in Chief who has never commanded even a lemonade stand, let alone a military. They also see a CinC in America now who hasn't a clue re foreign policy or war or negotiations. Additionally they see a CinC who is derided by people like me who views him as an imposter, an anti-American imposter who, if he was truly "elected", was elected by a bunch of morons. The world sees US citizens as a bunch of weak-kneed losers, thanks solely to Obama and his followers. I am sorry if you don't like my saying these things, but they are true, and you DID ask.
Should not a country's ruler's be looking out for their country instead of doing what some other country wants. We do not what some other country tell us what to do, so why should they?
Not sure why this question comes up, but let me answer it from more of a libertarian standpoint and my own personal viewpoint. A country's ruler should be looking out for his own country. My question is WHY isn't he doing so? He has driven jobs out of the country by driving businesses out of the country. His REAL job should be to make the atmosphere for business and jobs pleasant or at least not unpleasant. HE has done the exact opposite. As he has never run a business, never owned a business, never worked for a business, his actions MAY have been due to sheer stupidity, but a President who doesn't alter stupidity is a severe danger to the nation, regardless if he thinks he is God. This president has done more to harm the nation than any president in this nation's history. I THINK what you are really asking are these things: Why isn't Obama providing more jobs? (Answer: he has no jobs to offer and no way to pay for jobs. Additionally that isn't what he is supposed to be doing). Why isn't he doing a better job on Obamacare? Because he has accomplished what he set out to do - Obamacare is not about your health or my health - it is about control of subjects, and chaos will rein terribly when the million or so people who had good policies can no longer keep them and Obamacare will never function properly, thank GOD!)
The increase in the use of food stamp has to do with the economy, not who is in office. Long term unemployment has to do with the lack of jobs that pay a living wage, because businesses sent the jobs overseas.
The economy would be in MUCH better shape had Obama not allowed regulations and taxes to run businesses out of the country. Fewer businesses, fewer jobs, MORE FOOD STAMPS. It doesn't take an Einstein to add 2+2 and get 4.
Our government is the CAUSE of businesses going overseas so you should place the blame where it belongs, NOT where your sicko political party tells you put it. For goodness' sake, man, use YOUR OWN BRAIN rather than the words of shysters in Congress and the Administration. I assure you, your brain is superior to theirs.
I could go on and on with many of the points you make, but I think you may or may not get my point, there are two ways to view most anything, until both sides can talk with out attacking the other sides opinion we as a country will continue to slip in place.
