This is exactly why I never post in any of these topics. Only going to make you argue with people you otherwise will get along great with. Plus, no one shows up to the internet to have their mind changed about anything (of a political nature at least), so there's really no point.

Re: After 2 Years of Obama--Here is your Change!

Want to fix the economy?
Abolish the federal reserve and go back to a gold backed dollar.

Having our currency backed by nothing but our word to payback debt, when we are 15 trillion in debt, and even more so in SS/medicare obligations, is just tempting the world to call our bluff..

You should be angry at the political group that made your economy so sick. Instead, you misplace your anger against the person who happens to be given the task of trying to save it. Whether you agree with the remedies or not, your blame is misplaced. Would you blame the doctor after he failed to save your dying spouse? Are you going to blame the japanese nuclear workers who are volunteering to attempt to shut down the reactors when they fail. Don't blame the people who caused the problem (That's big business) blame the little guy putting his life on the line to solve the problem.

However, I'm under no illusion that extreme right wingers will ever take the blame for the mess they have created not only in their own country but worldwide.

Start thinking for yourself instead of drinking the tea.
I Can only point out the obvious, For how long were the dems a supermajority in the senate? and the house? Seems they had alot to do with the policy. I agree arguing on here is just a exercise in futility.

This is exactly what I have been thinking as well.

Ah, more cut-and-paste amusements.

What Dubya is actually thinking these days is: Hey, thanks for blaming the black guy.

Sitting together on a train was Obama, George W. Bush, a little old lady, and a beautiful young blonde large breasts.

The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap.

When the train emerges from the tunnel, Obama has a bright red hand print on his cheek. No one speaks.


The old lady thinks: "Obama must have groped the blonde in the dark, and she slapped him."

The blonde thinks: "Obama must have tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled the old lady instead and she slapped him."

Obama thinks: "Bush must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead."


George Bush thinks: "I can’t wait for another tunnel, so I can smack the crap out of Obama again!"








Too bad there isn't a provision for ignoring certain forums (like this one), similar to the way we can ignore posts by certain members.
Work on this, Earl.

Re: After 2 Years of Obama--Here is your Change!

I really don't like obama, his policies are truly awful, remember, forced health care costs start next year, say goodbye to your SVX money people. and his green energy agenda is really putting the squeeze on our over-taxed and aging energy infrastructure.

Then again, I really really really (really) hate the patriot act. Thanks alot bush...
interestingly, obama hasn't gotten rid of this act, in fact he wants to keep on using it...

This quote tells me he does not have any idea what he(Obama)is talking about,
Quote:
Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, "Get used to it" – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to "get a more fuel-efficient car."
First The expense of getting a new Fuel efficient car is somewhat difficult for most of the people that really need it.
It really is all well and good to say spend $20k now and save $1k a year. But the reality of it is if they can get financed for it by the time they make the payments and pay the Full Coverage Insurance, which they have to have they are spending more.
And second which is probably more important The High price for fuel translates to High price for Vegetables, Meat, Bread, Bathroom Products, and of course taxes. The higher cost to ship these things is going to be passed on to you and me and governments that spend more on fuel need to make up the difference so they have to tax more.

Re: After 2 Years of Obama--Here is your Change!

My opinion here might seem to all you guys as intrusive and maybe "childish" somehow. I am now 32 years old and I have been following politics since I was 12 (at least in this part of the world). I came to one conclusion. Politicians are actors, they sometimes fail in their task, other times go home with the golden globe.

As the case with you guys, we have two main parties, Government and Opposition. I used to back the opposition and change, but then those assumed power and they didn't really do any achievement worth mentioning.

There was a minister who was elected once for communications and another time for power. He was a very rude individual by nature and a show off, everyone hated him. Well he is now one of my "political heroes" because he used his influence to make the minute cost/call few cents cheaper than it was for the past 14 years. The same he did for landlines, electricity, gas, etc.... in sum, HE ACHIEVED SOMETHING!

Bottom line guys, do not believe in any politician/party until you see what he is capable of..

And that is my conclusion, I have seen what he is capable of, and what he has done to this country and that is what scares me.

yep I'm only 25 and I don't vote for anybody anymore because I've realized the president can't change the country or the world when the federal reserve bank is the single most powerfull thing in the world.

Re: After 2 Years of Obama--Here is your Change!

Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bail outs, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses and paid no taxes?
