Man that hurts to see in print. I'm still disgusted that people feel it's okay to keep spending like tomorrow never comes. All in the name of fixing EVERYTHING that's not been addressed by other Pres. or administrations.

Did I mention I HATE what this guy brings to the table.

And as Don said all the Barry lovers can't see the problem with this. The man is a money spending tornado, my grandchildrens children will still be in debt from this Gubers policies. Get ready boys taxes like you have never seen in your life are coming, this is what these Dems do, somebody has to pay their idiotic tabs, guess who that is gonna be......

[DJD]

Yep with Healthcare, Global Warming and spending Billions for repairing the bridges, roads and whatever else they can tag as needing attention we are in trouble. These idiots won't be happy until we are all crumbling under the pressure of taxes.

I don't mind fixing things that are broken but make the people responsible pay for it. Make spending cuts to help pay for it, bring some money back home instead of sending huge amounts overseas. Stop paying for illegals and their healthcare.

The whole lot of them need to be flogged for approving that huge bill that noone read. They will do it again because they are not help accountable....yep get ready.

Hey while we are on this sore subject. Did you see where the big Wall Street money pits, like Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, and others are going to raise corperate salaries and or bonuses to the tune of Millions so they can quote....''Attrack the best Talent'' unquote. WTF, this is a slap in the face of every hard working American that payed to bail their stupid money grubbing asses out of debt. Fire them all and start over, same with Congress, fire them all and start over!

[DJD]

Yeah I watched that this morning and that shows once again that gubment should stay out of private bidness! Let companies fail **** the consequences!!! Are we better off now? Nope is my answer.
The fella on FOX brought up a great example of how any gubment run company is going to bring politics into it when they need too. It's wrong no matter how you slice it. This new thought process of not letting anyone fail has become our downfall. The crooks in Washington will spend every last penny of ours to support losers and crooks.


Remember these are the same people who want to boost up our healthcare system to provide for ALL people in the USA. I said all....not americans because I don't trust these dimwits politicians one bit. They will include every tom, dik and harry because it would be infair to the poor little illegal immigrant or who just wants to support his family.

HA Ha, thanks for a little levity Michael, lol.

Goods points. For the life of me I cannot see how people aren't more outraged that the Dimocrats BORROWED and SPENT 800 billion in our name, without our approval, and didn't even read the paperwork. Talk about identity theft on a grand scale.

What do we have to show for all the money Mr. Obama has spent? An economy that is in the toilet and the federal government as stockholders in major 'private' companies. President Obama's answer? Give the economy some time to recover and maybe pay back some of the money? Nope. Spend some more trillions on a sketchy healthcare plan.

Every family in America is now over 200 thousand dollars in debt with more to come.

I bet he walks around the White House with Shelly singing..............
