Okay but how the hell do you know she hasn't contacted her team to contact the government? Nicki tweets alot so if this was on her mind of course she is gonna tweet it. I'm sure she wasn't expecting a response from the President but was moreso just putting the message out there so her folllowers can see

You're right, I don't know if she has. But people are acting surprised as to why she's getting ****. It's a huge, controversial issue to discuss, especially in what comes off disrespectful to the P5resident, who has no control over it. She should be yelling at the Republicans. And it seems like her outburst is more emotionally driven by the fact that she's upset over Yvette's death. She's obviously not fully educated on the matter and that's why people are responding negatively. Universal healthcare would be amazing but at the moment, it's not realistic without it backfiring.

Of course, I agree with both aspects. However, we've got people from both ends screwing the system. We have poor people who screw the system but then we have people in the way upper tax bracket that are screwing the system just as badly. No matter what social class there will always be people screwing over the system for their personal gain. The people that suffer the most, as you said, is the middle class. One of the most dissapointing things during Obama's term is how he let the executives and banks escape on their golden parachute after causing this huge economic disater. Poor people didn't pay for their mistakes, the middle class did.
As for the cutting spending issue, I think we only need minor cuts and mostly in military. I definetly disagree with far right people who want to make major gov't cuts because that will affect our education, transportation, health, safety, etc as well as raising the unemployment rate considerably which puts us in a worse situation economically and our overall standard of living would be lower.
I do think Obama made improvements to the system but I do think there is room for further advancements. I feel the general public is largely misinformed and don't even know what they are completely talking about when complaining about Obamacare and that is coming from both sides that think they are doing too much and those that think they are doing too little.

I agree with everything you've said and I do think there will be more improvements in the years to come. It would have been risky for him to do too much before being reelected for a second term since it could affect that. I think we will see more in his second term, at least I hope. Fortunately, we can at least expect him to get rid of DOMA.

Also, I see people saying that if it were Gaga, people would be praising her. Do you guys know how much **** she gets for what she fights for? There are mad religious people who constantly bash her. No one is ever a winner in politics. Even issues which seem like common always have someone who opposes.
