Obama - when we needed the help the most - bailed out the auto industry (and others) and the Republican party bitched and complained. Why is it okay for a Republican to do, but not okay for a Democrat?
If Romney became President and pushed for Romenycare, it would have been accepted by Republicans. But because it was a Democratic president, Republicans fought it tooth and nail. Still to this day they continue to fight it even though it's working. This is just basic common sense - take the hit and admit defeat, instead of reminding everyone that the Republicans lost that battle. Even if Republicans get what they want and bring an end to Obamacare, they will still loose because millions of people will loose their healthcare.
We need to do the right thing for the right reasons, not fight the right thing because the other party thought of it first.

Here's where you lost me
Harley Davidson was helped with tariffs against imports
The auto industry was bailed out with money that was never paid back completely
Two completely different things
RomneyCare and Obamacare are not the same thing and I don't really care, I just want something that works, Obamacare does not live up to the promises made, so this makes no difference either.
We need do the right thing the RIGHT WAY, learning from history should be the first step. That's why I brought up how Reagan decided to deal with a trade problem and helped an american company
In the end Rochard, I don't give a shit about Republican vs Democrat, I just want something that works, what Obama has done doesn't work and blaming the other side is ridiculous!! He's a weak leader and not the first president to have to deal with the other side not liking him or his administration, the difference is that the other dealt with it.
He has the lowest average approval rating since Carter, never has a president been so hated in recent history!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
