____________________________________________ Obama does a good enough job hurting himself such as telling everyone that he has visited 57 states and has 2 more to go. Can you imagine the President of the United States not knowing how many states he is representing? He should never speak without a teleprompter in front of him..

just blame the unions.. they support the democrats and in turn the democrats support them..in every state that is in financial trouble has the unions demanding more and more. New Jersey Governor Cristie is the only one with the guts to fight the unions unlike the "girly man" running California . Read this.......... Christie, who was sworn in as New Jersey's 55th governor Tuesday, made good on a campaign promise to close a loophole that exempted labor unions from rules on pay-to-play — the practice of rewarding political donors with lucrative government contracts — saying it was time to level the playing field. New Jersey's ban prohibits state agencies from awarding contracts worth more than $17,500 to companies that have donated more than $300 to a gubernatorial campaign or any state or county political party committee within 18 months. But unions — which donate heavily to Democrats — had been exempt.

No Bible to thump on and is not bought and paid for by the clowns that bought Reagan and Bush to appoint the ass clowns they did.( AND they made out like MAJOR MOFO's in 8 years of Bush the Second Administration that they handed to him) ----------------------------------------------------------- It was ford who picked the biggest ass-clown..He picked Stevens

I think you are missing the point.... I would seek to be inclusive of ALL voters and potential voters to join the process. As the article pointed out by making the poor pay high fees for the priveledge of getting ID they are being exclusive, which is the intent of those laws. Many people do indeed manage to live their daily lives without having to "you vill show me your papers" ____________________________________________ How do they cash their payroll checks?... opps silly me never mind..

____________________________________________________ Where in this thread have i said that this way my angle? i guess i should have put a link up to where i found it so i would not get remarks like this one. http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/wetback.asp

__________________________________________________ Its no use even trying to explain to the liberals because they know so much about economics such as taxing more creates more jobs and more incentives to hire more that way they can be taxed more.

What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common? Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me. Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.. Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal's after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans. And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 1 . 3 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called 'Operation Wetback'. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took 2 Years, but they deported them! They call the Arizona bill unamerican?

I need to add that There has NEVER BEEN anyone in the White House at anytime who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy, one; Laura Bush, one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower, social help came from the President's own pocket.

__________________________________________ .THESE SALARIES ADD UP TO SIX MILLION, THREE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS ($6,364,000) FOR THE 4 YEARS OF OFFICE????? Reading- not everyone's friend

Whether you like Sarah Palin or not, you've got to admit she's got more guts than most of the male and/or female politicians in state or federal offices!!! READ TO THE VERY END! VERY ENLIGHTENING!!! AND VERY DISTURBING!!! A pretty good read. By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman. As posted in comments on Greta's article referencing the MOVEON ad about Sarah Palin. The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style, rhetoric--it's about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here. 1. Democrats forget when Palin was the "Darling of the Democrats," because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in state housing and wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar. 2. Now, with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar. 3. The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is she got the list of state requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the state vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her state provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors. 4. Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand. 5. For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth, they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started. Then, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again. 6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two-and-a-half-years. I won't be holding my breath. By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now these adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda' known better. You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the Democrat party, into a wild, uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents' wives. So "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your guts, determination, honesty, and morals. I rest my case. Only FOOLS listen to the biased media.

I don't recall your outrage when Bush was gushing money out of the national treasury during the boom time before his recession hit, when he should have been saving a surplus handed to him by his predecessor. ___________________________________________________ this is why Bush's approval rating was so low.. I hated the way he charged the war off to the deficit. Now Obama makes him look frugal. People should spend more time studying Keynes and less time on the Voodoo economists. ______________________________________________ you have to be joking..John Keynes believed that the failure to provide full employment and the arbitrary and inequitable distribution of wealth and incomes were the outstanding faults in the economic system. this guy is an elitist fool. and Obama is following his ways. talk about voodoo economics.

I am sure glad that America formed a government that allows free speech and is independent of those fools in the UK.

you could not be more wrong...In the 1700's blacks were considered equal to whites and this didn't change until the early 1800's.. blacks were honored a lot more then, then most people realize. they were a part of our history until racism took root. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ppomv0wHNQ&feature=player_embedded

Bill, the right didn't want this.. they just knew it would happen. the worst part about this is the deficit .We owe more than $500 million in interest payments every day to cover our government’s debt, much of that debt is owed to foreign governments like China

Its more fun watching you guys doing the whole circle jerk thing. ____________________________________ Still waiting for Amazon to make a comment about the video..

Lol, That must be why he is separating from Tipper..

Obama? lol, you were reading my mind ...

________________________________________ You were right , she saw it and didn't acknowledge it.

This is exactly what i have been saying for 2 years now. only to have the liberals say that green jobs are the answer. Manufacturing in the country has been declining for a long time now but since the collapse in the economy a lot of them closed and will never reopen again. http://www.commentsonnationalamnesia.com/2010/05/24/president-obamas-green-energy-agenda-doomed-to-failure/

Wow , even Msnbc is starting to realize what a clown this guy is. Why did he decline the oil skimmers from the Dutch and help from Britain?

Its because you Obamahaters keep yearning for the Good Ole Days when "W" and Saint Ron were running up the deficits and finding pretexts for declaring war on Grenada and Iraq. If the best you can offer is "W" or Sarah P, then clearly we're better off with O. _________________________________________________ I wish Ronald Reagan was in charge, because this socialist clown we have now has borrowed more money from China and spent more money on paying back his union buddies and ran up the deficit more than all the past presidents combined.

Aside from the fact that it is a RW rag, rendering it useless as data or anything scientific must be objective, random and of a large sample size, the questions are either opinion-based or theory. Trickle down theory is still prevalent, even tho no one has ever posted 1 major federal tax cut that has led to prosperity for most. Hoover tried it, 2 1/2 years later he signed the largest-ever tax increase; from 25% to 63% as he basically admitted 'tax cuts my friends' is bullshit. Reagan treid it, cut the top marginal brkt from 70% to 28% over 6 years and the debt tripled while tax receipts didn't keep up with outlays. Clinton increased taxes from 31% to 40% top brkt and receipts went several-fold of outlays. Only a moron thinks tax cuts lead to prosperity. Someone post 1 occurrence, then post several. Even if there was one occurrence, that doesn't prove a trend but an occurrence. I can post several times where increased taxes lead to debt payment and properity for the masses. I can post where tax cuts and deregulation have led to disaster, teh Great Repiblican Depression is 1, the Great Republican recession is another. Theory is fun to banter about, application is real. I'm doing major engine mods to my little shitbox car, all kinds of people are offerring theories from 'it will blow up' to 'you need to do X Y Z or it wont work, but the truth is that I won't know until I get it going and ram it. They have data to show their % of who they find right or wrong, but no data or any kind of support to establish their theories of economics. This article is just propaganda. Lucky there is no point in talking to you because you have your mind made up. but only an idiot would think that raising taxes is good for business. and you seem to forget that Reagan inherited an economy with interest rates above 20%. and Clinton stole social security money to balance his budget.
