You might not get in accident anyway, leave it all to fate. But it does not pay to be fatalistic. No one can ever tell for sure what will happen. The best deal is not just the cheapest deal – it is what you get out of the money you are spending. Paying a dollar a month for insurance you would not be able to use when you need it most is expensive, although it sounds cheap in the beginning. .-= Shawn@Insurance car´s last undefined ..<a href="0">Response cached until Wed 21 @ 9:56 GMT (Refreshes in 23.98 Hours)</a> =-.

No President in history has been faced with so many challenges: two wars, terrible economy, high unemployment, deregulated industries, corporate/political greed, lost of prestige around the world, and personal hate. Now most of the media have been fair with him except of course Fox News. Their bias towards him mostly by those morning show kuckleheads, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and on occasions Bill O"Reilly no matter what he does they can't find it in them to praise him. He gets $20 billion dollars to ensure people are not left out in the cold by BP and they read it as a power grab. Had George Bush done it they would hail it as him doing what's best for the people. Then you get to their lame reason like it is unconstituional. As if Sarah Palin did a day in law school, our President taught constituional law!! I would trust him to know his responsibilities as President better than these wanna be Perry Masons. In the end, these people who hate OUR PRESIDENT will regret the day that they didn't embrace this man of character and fortitude. He is the right man for this job and the only one who could have handled all these challenges and keep his head. I don’t think people give obama enough credit.

You may also want to introduce this guy to active voice and proper usage regarding tenses. Sounds like a right wing shill to me.

Are you kidding me? They made a fool out of Cindy Sheehan for chrissake! Get real. Second of all, the anti-war protesters NEVER SHOWED UP AT TOWN HALL MEETINGS WITH GUNS, threatening the lives of the politicians with whom they disagreed. Rather, they sought dialogue which was usually turned down, and used non-violent means of protest to make their point. Third-- I think Obama is open to "serious debate." What he is NOT open to, and what he SHOULD NOT be open to, is the paranoid rantings of The Stupids about death panels (and death books, now), forced euthanasia, rampant aborting of fetuses, government bureaucrats dictating who your doctor will be and what kind of treatments you may or may not receive. SERIOUS debate would consist of issues regarding cost containment and funding; ensuring choice for every American; access; accountability; performance ratings; and so on. Having said all that, though, I DO agree with the last three paragraphs of the essay. Yes, Obama's charisma and appearance, rather than the substance of his politics, drew a lot of people to his campaign. Yes, there was a lot of hero-worship involved, which is an unfortunate and trans-party American phenomenon; and yes, Obama is NO FDR.
