Meredith Vieira If you attach a surtax to people that are making $280,000or more,isn't that,in effect punishing the rich?
Obama No, it's not punishing the rich.I think,the way I look at is If I can afford to do a little bit more so that a whole bunch more of families out their have a little more security when I already have security,thats part of being a community.


Wrong Mr President.. :x Thats being forced to fund your vision what's fair.Being part of a community means voluntarily helping your neighbors by charitable acts and donations and we americans lead the world in that.

USA Today Gallup poll: Americans now dissaprove of the way Obama is handeling Healthcare. 50% to 45%.

59% say he is spending to much
52% oppose his dramatic expansion of the Federal Gov.

    keep an open mind. I know I am. this healthcare proposal is very confusing and no one has been able to explain exactly what it is. I hope he is able to shed light on this

    Doesn't he realize us West Coasters needs to get home from work and would love a chance to see what he has to say. This always happens. bump it to 9! He can stay up that late.
