After a couple years of Obama, Pelosi,Reid and flaky left-wing spending, along with the resulting high inflation -- Americans will be ready for fiscally-conservative leadership. Forget the irrelevant, distracting wedge issues -- Americans will be more than ready for responsible, conservative leadership.
Conservatives aren't concerned because they know most Americans are conservative in their own lives, and expect their government to be as responsible with taxpayer dollars as well.
How quickly they forget! It wasn't that long ago the Democratic
party was a bunch of hopeless losers. They still are, except now they have the "messiah". Once Americans see the results of run away spending and high inflation, things will change.
If you've seen one Obama press conference/photo op, you've seen them all. Not much substance, just a lot of fluff.
Good point. Maybe others will learn from him and follow his example. It gets pretty old.
100 days is a non-story. Just wait til all the flaky liberal
policies go into effect and these idiots start to realize their paychecks are shrinking...
I don't want to hear about his predecessor's deficit anymore.
Obama is already well past what spent in 8 years, nd that was Obama's decision. No more excuses.
Yes, it will go a long way toward helping the GOP regroup and
come back a better party.
Other than the torture question, the questions asked were disappointing; the pat answers were boring. I guess it doesn't matter, because Obama will talk his way out of any situation, and his "sheep" will follow him, no matter if what he says and what he does are opposite.
You expect your leaders to think before they speak, to give balanced advice. Biden has a clear pattern of Not thinking before he speaks. And, when you consider -- he's next in line if something happens to our president. Some have questioned whether he's losing it, if dimentia is setting in.
If he was republican, you'd never hear the end of it, but because he's a flaky liberal, people just say, "oh, he speaks his mind.. thats okay"
We don't want our taxdollars going towards crap like ACORN. They're corrupt, this is another example of government wasting our money. I've seen and heard enough about them to know this is not in our best interest.
So far, its all talk. Who's been held accountable so far, for banks/financial institutions/Wall Street disaster? Has anyone been sued or jailed? The crooked mortgage lenders---have any of them been jailed or sued? The people on the Board of Directors of these institutions supposedly have fiduciary responsibility, but have any of these board members been held accountable?
Suppliers and even many workers in the auto industry realize the unions are just as responsible as management is, for the downfall of GM and Chrysler. They did too little, too late.
ACORN is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Americans need to stand up against this corrupt, partisan, poorly managed organization.
This is not what we pay taxes for.
Cap and trade needs a lot of work, hardly anyone is behind it.
If they want to pass energy legislation, they need to present a plan that's actually feasible.
Its a given that we need healthcare reform. But so far, everyone has a different idea of what reform means. Medicare and Medicaid need to be addressed, because they pretty much dictate the rates used in the private sector. The state laws need to be reviewed/revised before major changes can be made. Government employees need to start paying for their health insurance like the rest of us, which will help reduce costs. Americans who've been labeled with so-called "pre-existing conditions" and who also don't have group coverage -- are suffering the most because most insurance companies decline them coverage. If they do get coverage, its so expensive they can't afford it.
Healthcare reform needs to evolve from cutting costs, revising
state laws, having government employees share in the cost,
provide more options, more competition, etc.
We don't want the government paying for our healthcare, (which would just mean we pay more taxes)--- we need the government to facilitate healthcare reform.
Perhaps we can get a qualified candidate who Didn't come from Harvard, Yale, Princeton..the Ivy League schools? That may be the best way we can achieve diversity on the Supreme Court.
Many of our president went to Ivy League schools, as well. Maybe its time we break that trend/club.
Obama's rewarding the unions that voted for him by giving them a large interest in GM. Obama's protecting the bank and
financial executives who voted for him. Obama's budget is astronomical, the stimulus package has more pork than stimulus.. and when this all blows up, he'll blame it on the people who voted for him -- "he's just doing what the people asked him to do".
My experience is that you go through your budget and make cuts first, before you can propose your new budget. This is just one of Obama's weak attempts to "appease" us. Its an insult to anyone familiar with how government does things; we know better, we know there's astronomical waste. Government employees need to start paying a portion of their healthcare also.
Wanda Sykes has no class whatsoever, she's hateful and angrier than ever. Whiney liberals can dish it out, but they can't take it. They're cry babies if anyone says anything about their messiah, yet they wish death and disease on others, but that's ok. Its getting tiresome to hear these hacks who think they can say whatever they want because they "think" they're
"artists." Ha Ha. And to watch the president laugh at these
so-called jokes adds insult to injury.
This is funny, the only people who seem to pay attention to Limbaugh are Democrats! The Democrats obviously think they can
split the conservatives by obsessing over every little thing Limbaugh says.
No, Obama's not doing it on purpose. He's simply
"unconsciously incompetent."
