Obama is one of those men who helped destroy the US. I believe that as members of the US we should stand up fot what is right. Obama lies e.g. "we shall bring our boys home from Iraq" and guess what happens he put them over in Iran. That is a flat out lie to everyone, to the citezens to the families of those soldiers and to us. So what has been doen? Absolutely nothing. Also guantaunimo bay should be closed in 2 week. Somehow that will not work. Why should we, American citizens, take in a president that lies. "We will not tax a dime from the middle class people. Whell guess what? Me and my familly have been taxed 8000$ per person with higher taxes and we are in the upper middle class. So why do people put up with this? It is because everyone thinks they can't make a difference; you can if you try. So make a difference. And make our government better.

1. How many troops were transferred from Iraq to IRAN??

2. Upper middle class?? What in dollars does that mean to you? To me it would be $50,000 -$100,000 ... maybe to you it is $150,000 -$250,000?

3. Stop self-medicating yourself ... and use spell check.

Dear employee:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.
I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change...... I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

Big O, question: Do you believe the jobs saved/created figures that this administration reported?
It's just a question, no sneak attack motives. You just seem like one of the few Obama-supporting posters willing to discuss actual points in between flinging the usual boring insults.

I think they are just pulling the "jobs created/ saved" numbers out of thin air!
This morning I heard they are saying its over a million now!
But the Chicago Tribune, reported last week, that they saved over 650 school teachers jobs in a district that has only 279 teachers.
Who is it, thats doing the math?
It's just like the guy that had a new roof put on his house, there were four guy's that did it, but they figure it created 65 job's???
How do they figure?

I agree with you on that, I dont blame this all on Obama, the economy was headed into the toilet when he took over.
This didnt start the day he took office.
But, whatever his 787 Billion dollar recovery plan was, hasnt helped at all.
Just look at what Michigan is doing with it.
Using it to fill up the budget deficit.
You cant really believe those $2,000 sign's they placed along the road where they are doing road work, those were planned and money was allocated for that a long time ago.

PPS: I am not an Obama supporter but a tolerator .. as I am with all the major-party office holders ... I agreed with some Bush policies, some Clinton policies, et al ... I try not to blatantly paint them all good or all bad ...

Have you seen what they did to M37 in Casnovia? They used the stimilus cash to put a round-about in. It's a confusing as hell circle in the middle of the intersection, with a bunch of yield signs around it.

Another blame it on Bush post. Rome wasn't built in a day but it was destroyed in one. The democratic hope and changers are so filled with media induced hatred for Bush that they are quite willing to watch as their own country is flushed down the toilet. Sadly, I don't believe many of you will ever wake up to real agenda of this administration. You'll just go on making excuses for them ad nauseum while your freedoms dwindle away to nothing.

Thats the plan.... keep us taxpayers going around in circles while they dismantle our country. Death to roundabouts and those who created and support them! This country was not created using roundabouts and we will not be forced to use them.......FASCISTS!!! Sorry I had a Neko moment.:)

That might very well be totally f'd up there, but you really dont know that it was "stimulis" cash that paid for it.
Michigan is using it's to fill in the budget deficit.
I really dont care to see those signs on every little road project, saying it's part of the "recovery act" because thats a bunch of B.S.!

That's true. Just 'cause the signs say it is, doesn't mean that's the case.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Taurus

Someone isn't mucking about today, and if they're annoyed about something they'll come right out with it. This means you could be on the receiving end of some zingers, but equally it means that you'll be giving as good as you get. Now, although it will be very tempting to let off steam by giving someone an earful, aren't there better directions in which to channel your energy?
