Only a fool could not see through this little ruse

Here is the plan: Declare a state of emergency to pass a "get rich quick" bill for BO's friends (done). Pretend to attempt a second bill that would "guarantee" the success of the first bill which is designed from the start to fail passage. Profit from the first bill while putting the blame for why it failed miserably on the evil "fill in the blank here", whether it be talk radio, republicans, Joe the plumber, etc. that caused the second bill to fail passage. Retire wealthy from the first bill.

If you can't see this obvious scenario, or one very similar to it, it's because your brain is mush.

Is he the first or second?

No, no. He is undoubtedly the third Reich.

Oh yeah, the speech was a blazing success

just look at the stock market...

This guy is a bigger liar than Slick Willie, and I did not think that was even possible. "We must take responsibility for our actions and stop spending what we don't have (never mind that trillion I just spent)" Are you people that support this guy crazy or what? What concerns me more than BO are those that think he is legit. That's ok, I guess. If there is one thing that history teaches, it is that without fail, the more a politician does, the more trouble he gets into.

Obamas troubles will be legendary.

Obama. Bigger liar than Clinton?

"Funny how items show up in spending bills without any notice -- like an earmark for a president who promised not to seek any.

President Obama, who took a no-earmark pledge on the campaign trail, is listed as one of dozens of cosponsors of a $7.7 million set-aside in the fiscal 2009 omnibus spending bill passed by the House on Wednesday.

But not for long.

On Thursday, Rob Blumenthal, a spokesman for the Senate Appropriations Committee said the one earmark in the bill that carries Obama's name will be edited. The committee will attribute that earmark to other senators on the list of that provision's supporters, but not Obama."

Original article: We're really leaving Iraq

The reason there is nothing to fear

is that your messiah, BO has spoken. You must overlook the lie of course, you know the one that leaves 50,000 troops there indefinitely... BO. A bigger liar than Slick Willie.

Original article: Class warfare? Bring it on

Dear Joan

You want class warfare? OK, let's have some. Guess who engages more often in stock market purchases, poor people or rich people?

SALON MEDIA GRP(OTC BB: SLNM.OB) Last trade: 35 cents, volume: 0

WOW, that's impressive. Remember Joan, money talks, BS walks.

Are you sure you want to piss off evil stock purchasers even more. I seem to recall a period when Salon stock, you know that vulgar investment device that only "greedy" corporations utilize was at oh, about a penny. You're on pretty precarious, not to mention duplicitous grounds to be asking for class warfare.

Original article: Class warfare? Bring it on

Do you people even hear what you are saying?!

furtail wrote:

"We need to hit back hard and honestly. Yes, we have class warfare, and we're going to take some of that wealth and re-distribute it to those who actually work and produce the wealth."

Tell me which of you does not equate furtail's use of the word "take" with the word "steal"? How can one use the words "honestly" and "take" (steal) in the same expression? What kind of insanity is this? Who are any of you to steal anything from anyone. What, do you think you are modern day Robin Hoods? Please recall that Robin Hood stole from the government, i.e. the wealthy that became that way through taxation, and gave it back to those from whom it was extracted. He did not take it from those who earned it. He knew the difference between theft and justice.

If you want to "take" something, take it from Obama. I do believe that his ability to do what he pleases with 800 trillion dollars makes him about the richest man in America.

Original article: We're really leaving Iraq

Once again, the liar has spoken

"We are pulling our troops out of Iraq. Well, all but 50,000 or so..."

Obama supports are such suckers. He uses code words like "combat troops" as well as any hack politician, and you swallow his line. I am so looking forward to the day that he is brought down in disgrace, because disgraceful he is.

Let's rephrase the question

Is Obama a lying, thieving, scumbag politician? Why, of course he is. Get used to it folks. He's just Slick Willie, act II.

that Steele is having no better luck in the ring with Limbaugh than BO did.
