As a type 1 diabetic, this pisses me off. I can't believe he's using our disease to push his agenda. Disgusting.

Um... So is he trying to say doctors don't take care of diabetics? I can't follow him, and I'm too lazy to watch the video over again.

Phew.. Obama's administration isn't turning out that good like people first thought..

I wonder how that Ron Paul would turn out.. He seemed the most competent of all (to me).

You just love forum arguments don't you. Why didn't you just post a comment about religion on a popular youtube video. :lol:

I don't like Obama just as much as the next guy, but this is just ridiculous of him... Man Obama, diabetics? Seriously?
Why can't we talk about you not helping the homeless war vets? Huh?

umm.. i just found it an interesting article, thought maybe people would like to be educated on the subject..
the sub forum is after all called General/Off-Topic. a lot of the members are american residents, and this effects them.

And I was just making a light-hearted observation that these kind of topics usually degrade into page long flame wars. I wasn't saying you were missusing the General/Off-Topic sub forum.

I like to hope that this forum contains enough intelligent people to have a mature debate. I can't say that about the userbase of most forums.

That's what I like most about this forum. Although maybe it is time for a "Controversial Topics" sub-forum within the General/Off-Topic forum.

Ahmmm... That's how you start arguments.

Ok then...


Any ways, now that I am awake enough to think straight:

Probably lying to push his agenda. I doubt the president of the USA would leave his speech to assumption. I think it's douchey, however you look at it is your own opinion.

As much as I hate defending Obama... He's saying that doctors should be reimbursed more for the treatment of diabetes. (before it becomes an even greater problem like amputation) Whether that will save money is debatable.

Also, I just can't take a site called "friskaliberal" seriously. :roll:
