Energy independence or nothing changes. Everything else is diversion and worthless rhetoric. Politicians should fund energy independence first and banks, infrastructure, and other make work programs once we are free of outside energy influences. Do the outside energy influences hold all the money? Now that could pose a problem.report abuseNewYorkLeash

Obama-Biden team cares about our healthcare in Maine??? This is laughable!!!
Just my horror story alone would take up the entire 2 hours...
Mr. Obama~the problem is this... you and I don't get the same 'care'...Senator Kennedy had a brain tumor diagnosed and treatment and surgery scheduled in hours, by physicians that know what they are doing...
WE are being treated by 'practicing' physicians and we are the guinea pigs...Doctors who cry about their student loans and nurses that are overworked and underpaid...
WE 'customers' suffer while the workers still get paid, whether right or wrong, whether they save us or kill us...
Obama-Biden team is so concerned about the lil people of Maine while they ride around in golf carts in Hawaii???
I didn't vote for 'change'...I didn't fall for the preacher with charisma...Good luck to those that did...This is more proof of how detached these people are from reality...Let me know when Obama and Biden will be here in Maine to see the damage done to those like me and then and only then, will I make an effort to get to the Civic Center to tell my story...
Doctors, nurses and big pharma destroyed my life and what are you going to do about it??? Not a darn thing...
Enjoy Hawaii Mr. President-elect...21 days til CHANGE...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAreport abuse
