That was great Bill. I laughed so hard. SO TRUE, SO TRUE. Do you think any of the "right wing nuts" realize the real figures and what % they represent?? Let's take Mike Huckabee for example. His "repeal it" ad says We have a million signers, please sign again and "THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!". Here are some of the problems with those statements. There are 310 Mil people in the country. Children (up to 18 years old) are 90 ml. That means there are 220 MILLION VOTING AGE ADULTS in this country. The people who have spoken are 1/2 of 1%. Median income is $50,000 a year. That fact represents 110 million people (plus their children). The people that bring you this corporate agenda are same the people that you the financial crisis. Their solution is to give total control to people who think $250,000 a year is "THE NEW NORMAL".

brucetee _ Alvin Green could be obuma. With Alvin handing out flyers on parked car. That is if he's out of jail...
As NORM no response from you to this. Newt talks a lot about obuma. Surely you want to defend this, this president. Must to character assanination of obuma in YOUR BOOK. We have NO PROOF ??? What will the BUM run on against Newt ? His record ? Good golly...
With obuma/Fed Reserve giving $$$ multi-trillions to banks in Europe and those folks talking about paying back their debts at 50 cent on the dollar or less, poor are going to be worse off. Never fear, if massive de-valuation of $$$ hits, Rich will be poorer too if they did not take Glenn Becks advise to buy gold. Oh yeah, poor & middle class get devastated as well. Thanks obuma. Term obuma sure fits.
Bill C, lawyer obuma and Acorn, Barney F., and Democrats that voted down Bush & McCain's banking regulations (no Republicans voted against) lowered the poor standard of living.
Number of $$$ millionaires was going up last time I checked. A middle class Bill G. became a $$$ billionaire. Oprah W. didn't do bad. No golden spoon was in their mouth when born.
Yes, in a Bill C., lawyer obuma and friends recession, " gap is getting wider ,faster". How can President obuma claim he was not involved in Recession ? Counting under-employed and those that gave up job hunting real unemployment number could be 20 %. Forcing banks to lower standards to allow unqualified home buyers was bad A LITTLE under Jimmy C. but Bill C. and lawyer obuma put muscle in it. lawyer obuma put RACISM in the DESTROY AMERICA black hole. Racism, obuma's bread & butter.
Where in the world is lower and middle class growing ? How about the old face of America, Germany...

in new york today we saw the epitome of narcissism bonded together like two peas in a pod. none other than donald trump and newt gingrich.as newt chugged of to the big apple to genuflect and kiss sir. donald's ring, it was a sight to behold.
the next stop for the circus train,better known as the g.o.p. presidential debate should be held at comedy central.it would be a perfect venue for the ring master,this time around,is donald trump.
i commend both ron paul and john huntsman for refusing to take part in this comedy skit

"...his presidential asperations are all about ego,fame and power.his hubris is amazing."
No, no, no, Bruce... Wishy_Washy Scotty is whining about Gingrich - not Obama.
Say, what victim class voting block is our Huckster in Chief whoring after today? I've lost track - 3 years of Obama's 24/7 campaigning makes me dizzy .

Did you ever think about writing for NRO?
My thought is that when conservatives and moderate American voters and even Democrats go to the ballot box they should omit the vote for the presidential election which would allow Obama a second term in the presidency and then vote down the line Republican for Congress which would balance the power in government.
That means Obama wouldn't be able to force legislation the American people didn't want and it would cause Congress to have to find real compromise with the president.
The Tea Party voters could then hold the feet of Congress to the fire which would force them to vote for a balanced budget and keep spending down. If they didn't they would be forfeitng the 2016 election... and if they did they would be forcing President Obama's hand to pass resonable legislation.
If Obama refused to sign then by 2016 the Republicans will be able to hold their seats in Congress and then win the presidency in 2016 after Obama would have presided over six years of a lame duck presidency.
If he does cooperate he will go down as a good and even memorable president which is what Americans want for their first black president.
No vote on President.
Balance of Power in Congress
--by voting down-the-line Republican.
