You will "get it" when Al Sharpton divides the black population when Obama cannot deliver on the high expextations of the black community, You know buy them all homes,keep them in homes they can not afford nor can release them from prison and on and on. expectations from the back community are far to high and the Sharptons will exploit that...
This does not include the rest of America who will lose their homes and jobs in the next couple years.
His timing to get elected was great, His timing to stay elected is ugly. People have short memories and high expectations. Obama is no Reagan. Reagan stepped into office with far far worse economy. 20% interest rates, 12% inflation, 7% unemployment that peaked at 9%. and turned it around with an immediate freeze on Government hiring and measures Obama will not enact because it goes against his idealogy. Im betting Obama will leave the same economy to the next President. I am prepared for the worse. I lived through the last one unprepared. Not this time. This is the rainy day you were told to save for.
Gonna be fun to watch. Obama will be a One termer because he will not meet the expectations he set. No one could. No one set expectations so high before.
and out economy has been much worse those who lived it in the 70's and bought the T-Shirt can attest to.
THAT was a real landslide. Reagan carried 44 States easily and was easily elected for a second term.
The interest was 12%? Reagan was something. I heard he started as a Democrat in Hollywood and then switched. I don't blame him for that, seeing the kind of dirty politics the Dems let their candidates play. Obama is a spendaholic. He ran his campaign like he was addicted to spending. His logo on the plane must have been expensive to design and paint. It was awfully self-oriented. They have to use special paint for airplanes because of the wind factor.

<quoted text>The Lott comments were blown way out of proportion by the partisan MSM in a successful attempt to get him out of office. How come the MSM doesn't go after Dem. William Jefferson, who was found with $80,000 in cash in his freezer? Anyway, Lott was being nice and complimentary to Thurmond at a dinner honoring him when Thurmond was 98 years old by saying that Thurmond would have been a great president. So if when Byrd is being honored by the Dems as he steps down, someone makes a comment saying Byrd was always a great American, will the MSM start up a hue and cry stating that person is a KKK supporter? Not if that person is a Dem, they won't.
I saw William Jefferson and the $90k on TV...where'd you hear about it? I also saw he was stripped of his committee memberships by Pelosi while he awaits trial.

The interest rate was not 12% that was the rate of INFLATION! The interest rate was 20%!!!!They are trying to tell us this is the worse economy. The economy we have todays is far better. 93% of people who want a job have a job. The auto industry employees screwed their own allowing UAW to represent them in modern times. While American Toyota workers are doing just fine (unless Toyota cannot rid themselves of the UAW and takes their business to Mexico)

People who own businesses have every right and duty to their families to take their business where they will be more profitable. All taxes will be passed on to the people who purchase their products...duh.
Business don;t pay taxes, They customers pay their taxes. Raising taxes on them will raise prices and eliminate jobs as the owners make up for the short falls in buyers and increased taxes. Business 101.

Medical Care is not a Right. Its the responsibility of the individual. Its not in the Constitution nor will an Amendment pass the States that says so. There is no way to pay for it with Government money. They have to bail out people who could not afford to make their obligations with regard to their homes.
Deal with it. Stay healthy, excersize, eat right. Use one of your car payments to pay for Medical Insurance. Take out a HELOC LOL

We might be seeing that 12% inflation and 20% interest again under Obama. I'm thinking medicare is not a right when people won't eat properly and take care of themselves. When people smoke too much, it makes them less healthy too.

People around the world ARE seeing the mean spiritedness and ugliness emanating from the Pro-Prop. 8 crowd.
Keep up the good fight!!!!
Obama was very influential in helping seal the fate of gays & lesbians regarding Proposition 8 in California, and the anti-gay amendment that passed in Florida.
After reading how Obama threw gays & lesbians underneath the bus, how Obama fanned the flames of hate that many blacks feel toward gays & lesbians…..all this, just to get more votes……is it any wonder that 70% of black voters voted against gays & lesbians in California and Florida????
Obama should be ashamed of himself. Such strategies are right out the Karl Rove playbook, Obama’s strategy was even worse than Rove’s…….please read below for yourself:

<quoted text>Are you ok? A blue city is one historically and consistently run by Democrats. Didn't think I needed to spell that out for you, I assumed that considering you incorporated "blue" into your screen name and are obviously a raving liberal, you understood the concept. By the way, don't you think it's about time for the parties to switch color codes? "Red" fits you guys much better.:) Don't know what you want me to contribute, I've given opinions, facts, and personal observations from experience. Oh yeah, I forgot, you're a "neo-Dem". To you, "bi-partisan" means being a Democrat, "fair and balanced" means being 100% liberal, "not agreeing with liberal policy and philosophy" means racist redneck.:) Gotcha.
I will remind that once again you will not address a simple statement directly. What "blue city on the shining Hills" are you talking about, MY FRIEND?

If you can offer up just one tiny fact, then we could possibly have a discussion about how that "city" is in such FEARSOME trouble, because people don't own enough guns or some other really stupid statement that you might want to offer.
For all of your idiotic political "color" ramblings, I am quite firmly in the "Color of Purple", which is still dead set middle center "independent" thought. How about youse??

I think most of your statement left out a pretty simple thing. It would be called the past CENTURY of American history. Please go back to your high school history lessons before you post another totally uninformed rant, MY FRIEND....

Call it Detroit, call it Cleveland, call it Gary, call it Milwaukee, call it Philadelphia, call it Chicago, call it whatever...did you ever think that perhaps I really don't want to give out information that would let people figure out who I am on here? And you're the one that chose "bluewv", not me. Were you referring to your mood, your taste in entertaiment, or your shirt color? And yes, every honest citizen should own a gun. It's been proven that in every state where concealed carry is allowed, the rate of violent crime goes down. Obviously, criminals are discouraged from trying a robbery if they don't know if their victims may be able to fight back. Gun banning laws just lead to the law-abiding being disarmed. Criminals keep their guns...they're criminals! Purple, huh...are you a Barney supporter?:)

<quoted text>Nope, bottom line is Mr. Obama was allowed to be vague and just speak of hope by the mainstream media who failed to vet him and instead spoke approvingly of how historic it would be to elect him, while Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin were unceasingly attacked. Oh, there's no reason to look into Obama's past or connections really, we're sure what he says is believable...but let's make a huge deal about how the GOP spent money on Palin's clothes! And "TrooperGate"! And whether Joe the Plumber has a plumbing license! Mr. Obama didn't HAVE to do his homework, because noone asked him for it, they just took his word that he aced it.
as i said obama did his homework and attacked mccain where it would hurt the most and it worked.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Libra

It's one of those difficult days when anything can and will happen. Someone you were relying on might let you down, plans could be changed at the eleventh hour or a machine could go on the blink. To make matters worse, your energy levels are very erratic, so you feel full of beans one minute and ready to go to sleep the next. Don't make the situation worse by eating foods that give you a high followed by a slump.
