Why Is Obama Rushing everything?

You feel rushed too? I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that. Are you a parent? In my experience, when my kids said hurry up....and tried to rush me through to an answer, it was because they didn't want me to know or realize all the facts. Ya think?

I think he's rushing it because there are a lot of pressure on him. He's the first African American president and everyone is looking at him to see if he can really do the job. People except him to be the next FDR and fix the economy so I guess he's trying to be like FDR and have a lot done early in the presidency. I think we should wait and see how his efforts turns out.

I think one the reasons he is rushing is because he has set some goals, and he want to accomplish them early in his administration. He could also be concerned that he might be a one term president or the Democrat Majority will diminish in the next election making it harder for him to implement his policies.

I have a copy & ran through it last night. Canada has this plan & they have a hard time getting health care. One lady said she could take her dog to the Vet, get a quick appointment & pay $10 for a shot with no problem. If she needed to get a shot, it would mean waiting 7 months to get the appointment. Then an avg. of 7-10 hours wait in line @ a clinic before you even get in. Then they determine if they; have the shot, if it's even covered & if want to give it to you. Another lady said her diabetic mother had a leg that could've avoided amputation if she didn't have to wait a yr. for surgery. While waiting, the other leg went bad as well & both had to be amputated. she is now waiting to find out if care & tramsport of her mother is going to be covered. She said the only way you get decent care over there is to pay cash to a private practitioner. I have a feeling that many Doctors are going to opt out of this. I also don't think it's fair that people who may not need healthcare should be taxed for opting out. America is changing.

I believe that the "rushing" comes from one thought. Progressives believe that they know better than any other people. Conservatives are "religious zealots", "hicks", or "backwoods". They are not Progressives because they do not know any better. Progressives do not want debate. They know best and everyone else should just let them do what they want. I would love to know what you think the "good aspects" of the current health care plan are. I also am reading the bill. I have not been able to find anything good about it.

He is a working President and inheriting a big problem from previous administration is a great challenge. On a personal note, he is not rushing everything, in fact he is abusing himself working hard for something that he thinks is worth working for. However, the fact that he needs to make the economy of US back to stability, it's a pressure rushing in. All eyes are on him and being President is one hell of a job specially the United States. On the brighter side, being the most powerful man can act on everything he wants to do even if it seems like a trial and error strategy

I agree totally with you! The harder he tries to rush this bill through congress the more I wonder WHY?? There has to be more to it! For pete's sake, I seriously doubt that more than a handful of members of congress have actually read the proposed bill - so how in the world can they be ready to vote on it?? At least now they are talking about dropping the public option...maybe they will try spending some time reading the bill and then listening to the voters before they make a decision - I doubt it though.

I'm surprised nobody has said my answer yet. Obama and his cronies are running our of time. He came in with a honeymoon that he knew wouldn't last. He had a finite time to run through the most ridiculous load of garbage while most of the American public was too blinded by his awesomeness to actually look at all the damage he was causing. His approval rating has plummeted faster than any president in the first few months and if he can't pass this steaming pile of dung that he calls a health care plan within a month even the democrats in congress won't sign on with it. I've NEVER seen people so angry at their senators as they are now and I do mean angry. Congress has had low approval ratings for years now, but this goes far beyond people disapproval. Obama's a sinking ship and he's taking the democrats in congress with him.

Well, he came out of nowhere and bum rushed his way into the precidency and that worked. As far as I know, this bill is just the House bill and not even final. They're still working on one for the Senate.

Debra, Im with you girl. The more you research into the Emanuel family the more chilling it gets and I'm so upset the media is doing absolutely nothing to expose them. I mentioned before Benjamin Emanuel--Rahm's father, told the Jerusalem press: "[i]Obviously he will influence the President (Barack Obama) to be pro-Israel... Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House.[/i]" Do we need this kind of mentality in the White House??? For god sakes, his father was an Irgun militant--WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!This is clearly a family affair and their the new Cheney--but could becoming far worse! Obama is not anti-war, same cup of tea. They got a bone to pick Just like modern day Pharisees--the word itself means "seperatist", always `very political, distinguished themselves from the common man never wanting to be "contaminated" despising those who didn't stick to their very Laws--like Jewish Zionist! Lets keep in mind this was a people Jesus himself rebuked in his day because of their hypocrisy. I find it ironic CNN today was heralding a 'Israeli American' today at a town hall meeting who claimed Israeli had one of the best health care systems in the world--is the media playing as Obama administrations 'eyes and ears', CLEARLY. Their no friend to me!..as much as they tell me so. Im not buying it-- You go girl, for refusing to buy the bull they keep trying to feed us. Now, I hear their gonna preach to the choir..oh great, lets just bring back the Roman Empire for god sakes. And lets keep in mind, this is not about us, the "Angry People" wanting to take Healthcare from anyone--what i'm saying is just that it needs to be done wisely and incrementally--why are they bum-rushing me?? Obama's requested budget cuts (100 million) don't even add up to his heyday spending of: 410 billion, house appropriations 787 billion stimulus spending 3.69 trillion proposed budget for 2010!! You need to have a discerning spirit in these days because politicians will tell you anything just to get their agenda pass.

There are two possibilities-One rumor is, he told the Democratic Party that he would only run one time, because he knew he was going to cause a s-storm over his so called 'change', and quite frankly, I think this man is so arrogant and so egotistical, that he is already bored with the job. Another is, he knows eventually everyone will find out about the skeletons in his closet/and or background that he has been trying to hide. That's my two cents. Hence the 'rushing'.

I believe that he is being pressured by his fellow Democrats, a.k.a Pelosi and Reid into making an incomplete healthcare system. They should take their time which I'm sure the U.S people would like better rather than a bad healthcare system which is flawed and rushed out.

I still believe his politics is great,though I'm not an american,everyone's rushing has reasons,I'm rushing because i still wanna make something
