Hey I didn't vote for the duid either but I wanna know where the Bushcrap shirts are.
Do you really believe that in 5 months O killed the country verses the previous 8 years of bush-crap. When will people understand the president is only the scape goat to blame crap on, you really want to change things get another senator or congressman in office, those a######s are the problem, no term limits, no change in their attitude.

What happened to the "No More Earmarks" promise. Sure he can say the budget was already in the works before he took office, ,but he still could have vetoed it. Oh yeah, what about the "Transparency" promise, putting up everything on the website before passage. The house slipping in a 300 page amendment at 3:00 AM before voting on it. Tommy's right though...you want to blame someone, blame Congress, who votes on a Bill without even reading it. The pork aint never gonna stop without campaign finance reform. As long as they have to raise money they will owe favors to get re-elected.
"Wake up America"

Tell me that the prez. dosent have control over the 64 billion hes sending to africa to help the heath issues ( ya right). He should be giving that to AIG to cover there new rounds of boneses to the filihy rich employes or mabey even better yet use it to help americans who cant get a job. The real questions who are we gonna barrow another 64billion from the chinese. Soon we will be using the peso in the USA.

Tommy dosent seem to be having a very good saturday morning. When it comes to the gubberment I haven't had a good day in decades, the controlling cult has ruined this country. If your so gullable to think anything these people say is truth then you need a reality check. This country is no longer about justice and or freedom. The new word for the gubberment is "Just Us" and fuk the rest of us. What pray tell has the gubberment done for the average citizen in the last 30-40 years. We send our young off to be killed in police actions or undeclaired wars. When they return, if they return are crap on by the very people they were defending. We have our nose stuck in every other countrys buisness while we suffer. We're neck deep in debt to other countrys borrowing money only to send it to starving africans and a host of others who can/won't make it on their own while there are 100's of thousands of children in the USA who go hungry everyday. Corporations closing buisnesses, warehouses and manufacturing plants and sending the work abroad because of higher profits and no taxes paid here. Unemployment on the rise, people are broke, folks that are working have salarie locks in place so they can be employed while congress approves themselves a 20% raise. The list of complaints can go on forever, maybe, just maybe the citizens of the country will get fed up enough one day to do what Abraham Lincoln said to do. "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."

If the Recovery Board exercises options under the contract, the cost could total $17,948,518 over a period ending in January 2014." www.recovery.gov/?q=node/668

I posted those on a humorous note, not intending to spark a political debate or cause an argument between our members. I did not approve of Bush (either of them) in fact I did not vote for them. I have always said, in a Country as great as this, it is a shame that our Political Parties cannot come up with a suitable candidate for the highest office in this great Country.

No argument here and yes the T's were funny. Thats what "Off Topic" is for.
Sooooo here another one.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy..
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that.
