Blackwater got its first contract when Bill Clinton was President. That and the fact that President Obama continues the organization makes it hard to pin that one on President Bush, in my opinion.

Pesonally I like the idea of fluoridated salt. That way, if you want it in your diet...buy the salt and eat it till your hearts content.
Two toxins at once, now there's a great plan.

Designs, Blackwater still works for the government, they just changed their name. If it was so awful why didn't President Obama get rid of them?

I heard that theres radioactive contaminated small see life as far south as Guam.
You do realize that EVERYTHING contains some radioactive material?
The relevant question is how much, which is why some of us keep asking for numbers.

Designs, sure Congress and its staff CAN availe themselves of the exchanges. Why should they? Obama just gave them a free ride.
Problem Addict: It is my understanding that if your employees buy their insurance on the exchanges your business will be paying fees because what you're giving them is inadequate or too expensive. And how long are we going to be hearing about W? Did President Obama think the job was going to be easy?

Glander, good questions. Notice that you never see numbers attached to these articles because 1) the reporters don't undersand them, and 2) they usually don't support the hysterical headline used to pull in readers.

Designs 1) So if you can refute the facts you just smear the source and move on?
Designs 2) I agree wholeheartedly. Congress and Obama cronies (unions, wall street financiers, misc big donors) are doing a very good job of screwing over everbody that isn't them.

Republican held Congress has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act 40 times (their Big accomplishment) yet they will personally benefit from the Obamacare program.
Emphasis mine.
Absolutely not true. On August 1 The President issued a waiver exempting Congress from a provision of the Affordable Care Act that would cost them either $5000 or $11000 a year depending on if their families are covered.

A lot of medical procedures involve risk analysis, immunizations are a good example. (I think flouride is a good example but that's the subject of another thread). I don't know the exact numbers but lets say that there is a tetanus shots create a complication in one in a million cases, and 1/10of those are serious. If you immunize a billion people you're going to see a thousand problems, a hundred of which are serious. So yes you can point to a bunch of people that got sick from the shot. But if one out of ten thousand people are going to get tetanus without the shot then 100,000 are going to get sick. Simple math which too many don't think about.

Phizzy, what you call "proper football" has become a big deal here in Seattle. My oldest son may make a fan of me, I just don't understand it very well.
