Much of what say is your opinion based entirely on your politics. Because you said it does not make it fact.

You, obviously, have not researched this subject. Not only were thousands of citizens against this Keystone project at this time, there were political leaders in those states involved who were greatly concerned about the environment and the contamination of water supplies, particularly the Nebraska Aquifer. The Government leaders and thousands of American citizens need to count with someone in this American Government. Human citizens are being ignored too many times! These citizens asked that President to delay the decision until the dangers were reviewed for a while longer. President Obama listened to the human citizens, including concerned state leaders.

I know obuma has already played more golf than Bush did in 8 years. Maybe liberals can remember complaining about Bush over this. Nah, not likely.
They showed obuma heading to play I think his 90th round. No pictures allowed on course. Top secret for campaign protection you know.
Suzy Q says "Voters Won't Blame Obama, Democrats If Payroll Tax Break Expires." obuma wanted year extension but when Democrats in Senate stuck in 2 months, then obuma wanted 2 months. We tried to agree with the BUM wanting year. 2 months is not much certainty for folks. Hey BLAME US for thinking ahead. Think Democrats want another drama in two months ?
Well we did do a awful thing. Wanting pipeline built to create jobs. How terrible OF US. Maybe that is PORK. OBUMA WANTED TO DECIDE AFTER ELECTION 2013. POLITICS you know (lose union votes if against. Lose environmentalist if for). We rather have the oil than have Canada build pipeline to their coast and sell to China instead of us.
Oh yeah, jump us if not passing 2 month extension IS NOTHING LIKE Senate sitting on 25 bills we passed in House.

Does anyone else here find that Milligan's and Bruces fixation on Gingrich a bit creepy - maybe a sign of a mental disorder?
Milligan posts a headline about Obama, yet immediately foes into an irrelevant harangue about Newts past with Clinton - as if the two scenarios had anything to do with each other.
Makes me wonder if she ash Newt out on an date and was turned down.
Bruce, on the other hand, seems fixated on repeating - incessantly, and irregardless of the topic at hand - whatever dis-proven points of "sordity" in Newts past the he can find.
Makes me wonder if he asked Newt out on a date and was turned down as well.

This is nothing but politics as usual. A two month holiday from payroll tax will not create one job or provide anything but additional debt.
Smoke, mirrors and mendacity - nothing more.

What was Newt found guilty of, in the end after court decision, that reulted in $$$ 300,000 fine ?

Already answered this silliness. Newt was fulfilling CONTRACT WITH AMERICA. YOU add 1 + 1 = 3. Newt balanced budget and earned surplus.
Newt up 2 and Mitt down in latest Gallup poll.
Then they can blame obuma for loaning $$$ trillions & $$$ tillions to foreign banks:
“Secret Federal Reserve System data released December 1 reveals that the banking cartel (the Fed and its member banks) bailed itself out to the tune of more than $10 tri"Fed Data Reveals Trillions in Bailouts to Big Foreign Banks"llion in “emergency” funds, with trillions more going to line the pockets of big European and foreign banks"
"The $700 billion Wall Street bailout turned out to be pocket change compared to trillions and trillions of dollars in near zero interest loans and other financial arrangements that the Federal Reserve doled out to every major financial institution," said self-described socialist Senator Sanders after learning about the Fed data.”
