How about we attack his inability to get anything done for the American people? He is always golfing, or partying with the rich and famous. How about he practice being President for the little time he has left.

Dearie, I don't judge the character of a person by how large his tips are.

If RMoney is judging Chump the Trump on those parameters, RMoney shows bad judgement and bad leadership.

Try again - with the tip thing ....

Yepper the lord marshal b. h. obama needs to appear cool to fools who stand for nothing and fall for anything so this week the lord marshal is into rubbing shoulders with the hollywood a-hole list. I mean it’s the lifestyle of the rich and famous waved right in front those standing in obama's unemployment lines across America.
So where are all the usual complaints about wealth and corporations heard daily from the forum’s crowd of disgruntled dirty diaper democRats? This spells hypocrisy.

Barack Obama's Half Brother Discovered in Hut in Kenya...

Wednesday August 20, 2008

Barack Obama's youngest half brother has been living in a shanty town on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, the Italian edition of Vanity Fair reports.

"No-one knows who I am," George Hussein Onyango Obama, 26, told the magazine. "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

George's shack – which measures only 6 feet by 10 feet – features football posters and a photograph of the Democratic presidential hopeful from a newspaper.

"I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist," said George, who has the same father as the Illinois senator.

"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related," he added. "I am ashamed," he said of the way he lives.

George, who recently enrolled in a local technical college, has met Obama twice: when he was 5-years-old and in 2006 when the senator visited Nairobi.

"It was very brief, we spoke for just a few minutes," George recalled of the 2006 encounter. "It was like meeting a complete stranger."

In his autobiography, Obama described George as a "beautiful boy with a rounded head."

A Severely Weak Economy Under Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney’s main justification for running for president is his experience Bain Capital and supposed ability to turn the economy around. As it turns out, that was also his main justification when he was running for governor of Massachusetts in 2002.

How’d that work out for Massachusetts? Not very well.

ThinkProgress’ Travis Waldron rounds up five damning facts about Romney’s stewardship of the Massachusetts economy:

1. Ranked 47th in job growth: Despite Romney’s professed expertise in creating jobs, Massachusetts ranked 47th in job growth during his time as governor. The state’s total job growth was just 0.9 percent, well behind other high-wage, high-skill economies in New York (2.7), California (4.7), and North Carolina (7.6). The national average, meanwhile, was better than 5 percent.

2. Suffered the second-largest labor force decline in the nation: Only Louisiana, which was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, saw a bigger decline in its labor force than Massachusetts during Romney’s tenure as governor. The US Census Bureau estimated that between July 2002 and July 2006, 222,000 more residents left Massachusetts for other states than came to it. That decline largely explains the state’s decreasing unemployment rate (from 5.6 to 4.7 percent) while Romney was in office, according to Northeastern University economics professor Andrew Sum. At the same time, the nation as a wholeadded 8 million people to the labor force.

3. Lost 14 percent of its manufacturing jobs: Massachusetts lost 14 percent of its manufacturing jobs during Romney’s time in office, according to Sum. The loss was double the rate that the nation as a whole lost manufacturing jobs. In 2004, Romney vetoed legislation that would have banned companies doing business with the state from outsourcing jobs to other countries.

4. Experienced “below average” economic growth and was “often near the bottom”:“There was not one measure where the state did well under his term in office. We were below average and often near the bottom,” Sum told the Washington Post in February. As a result, the state was more comparable to Rust Belt states like Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio than it was to other high-tech economies it typically competes with.

5. Piled on more debt than any other state: Romney left Massachusetts residents with $10,504 in per capita bond debt, the highest of any state in the nation when he left office in 2007. The state ranked second in debt as a percentage of personal income. Romney regularly omits those statistics from his Massachusetts record, instead touting the fact that he balanced the state’s budget (he was constitutionally required to do so). He wouldn’t be much different as president: his proposed tax plan adds more than $10 trillion to the national debt.

Pitiful LA will face another nightmare on Wed when Obama squanders more millions tax dollars on yet another cross country trek to squeeze them again. It seems that Hollywood are the only ones who still think him worthy of financial support so he won't be spending much time learning how to be an effective President back where he is supposed to be "working" again this month. Thank God he will be out of office soon. He is ridiculous.

Attention con artist!!! You think that Romney guy is bad well there's a self-serving clown by the name of b. h. obama who launched his political career from the home of bill ayers and that added to a long list of other sht makes the lord marshal b. h. obama a 1000 times worse. GFY.

Aw, are your wittle mittens hurt? Did you forget and leave the buttons undone to your wittle poop 'chute and get drilled again for another letdown by one of your liberal fanatics?

Aw, shucks... those filthy liberal celebs were gonna help him so much too!(NOT)

Here's an awkening for you from the real world! Liberalism in ALL of it's dispicable forms was defeated! It was defeated almost 2 years ago...Welcome to 2010!

Aw, and 2012? 2012 is just one of the last formalities we are taking care of to rid our Government, at every level, local, state, and federal of the last remaining vile element of the liberal disease that has infested it for too long.

Aw, and by too long, I don;t just mean the last 4 years, I mean the last 60! We are gonna cleanse this Government, and then our land of every remaining bit of your filth, and our Government just happened to top the list as the most important.

Your attacks on this country have failed, your liberal communist supporting poster boy in the White House failed, and you have failed at life in general, and have failed to do anything but destroy our Country, so we're gonna finish the job of ridding it of every single one of ya!

If you think these little arrangements get you just a little butthurt you may wanna get out now, because while you are out blocking peoples buisness on Wall Street, and in the Liberal Cesspool they call Oakland, we've been hard at work doing REAL work...something none of you liberals are capable of. You may not actually see us until the proper time, but we're all there, and we'll be helping the people that count get to the place that counts...the polling place! We'll also be in Washington on a very large march right after we kick that vile son of a bitch right out of our White House like we should've done 3 years ago!

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Libra

You're in an idealistic mood today and only want to see the best in other people. This is typical Libran behaviour, because you aren't good at facing up to harsh reality at the best of times. Today, you're ready to believe that someone is a candidate for sainthood or that they're the best thing that's ever happened to you, regardless of whether it's true or not.
