| Me too, Alice. It seems almost medieval to use weapons to defend children. |

| I am disappointed. We are a world economy and I would have liked to see some consideration shown for the rest of the world and not just our rich folks. A recession is no fun for anyone. |

| Appreciation of cultural diversity is growing throughout the country.
The hidden agendas of elitist politicians, banks, and corporations are being exposed and confronted.
We averted a major recession four years ago and the economy is slowly recovering.
We recently re-elected a president who supports a progressive agenda.
The total population of the US, as of July 2011 is 311,591,917. Approximately 4.3 million of them are members of the NRA. That means that approximately 307,600,000 are not.
Gun-related homicides have declined steadily since 1993.
In the aftermath of a recent and tragic school shooting, we are actively working toward a solution that will include tighter gun regulation.
Things don't look all that bad from my perspective.

Cheers..Joe.. That's exactly what the BBC reported just a few hours ago. If both sides of the political divide don't come to an agreement over the tax rises, apparently the country will topple over the edge and back into recession: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20797537 |

| Sorry, I can't join in this Doomsday perspective.
We seem determined to create an apocalyptic future around the corner - it's part of our archetypal collective, I suppose. It's not the view that I see, nor one I want to help create.
We get what we focus our attention on. |

| Okay I am bothered by Congresses inability to arrive at a compromise to avoid a recession. I would like them to consider the entire world economy and not simply ours. |

We have multiple topics going here. At least people are talking. Ann, I loved Obama's speech. He said the people of this country were better than the leaders. |

We are already over a fiscal cliff a long long time ago,
The politicians don't givea dam about the American
public and yet they want to scale down to almost
nothing the increase the seniors get every year, do
they know seniors count on this, are they stupid or
retarted ? There are other ways to cut the budget !
I've yet to see any Congressmen, Senator or President
say they'll take a 35% pay cut along with elminating all
their great benefits.... Cheers...Joe...Welcome to the New
politcal world.............. |

| Alice, I agree with President Obama's statement about the people of this country being better than their leaders. Nevertheless, with all due respect to our President and Congress, that's not saying very much. |

Let's just say we have a bunch of jack asses running
this country and they all ran away including the President
for vacation, they should be held accountable, they caused
this crisis, as of next week 2 million people will loose their
un-employment , all they know how to do is play a game of
chicken, they all should resign at once ! You get what you
vote for.........
Cheers..Joe |

| President Obama needs a vacation. If he waited till everything was perfect, he would never rest. Christmas is important for his children and wife. I applaud him.
He is still trying. |

| 12/22/2012 Sorry , nobody is trying, none of them deserve a vacation , the country is falling apart and they don't give a dam, I wish the American Public would take their head out of the sand, open their eyes wide.... and I would never , ever hand over their powers of the Congress and a blank check book to the President of the United States that would be suicide, they don't know how to control their spending and yet the American public should pay for their stupidities ....................... Cheers..Joe.. |

| 12/22/2012 Alice... The president asked Congress to hand over the debt ceiling and the power to raise the National Debt as he sees fit wrong move ! Under the Consitution only Congress has the power to handle that not the president, this would be financial suicide ! Cheers..Joe.. |
