Why no blog from JB on Ted Kennedy renting a Democrat Den Mothers house on a trip to Chile? Of Course Osomabomba will win a second turn. Look at the miracles he has worked. Full employment, everyone’s 401k maxed, the Chinese are buying all of our products including the Chevy Volt, peace all over the world, and an end to partisan divisiveness in politics. That man is a genius.

Subject: Fw: Budget Cutting

The President ordered the cabinet to cut $100 million from the $3.5
trillion federal budget.

I’m so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same
thing with my personal budget. I spend about $4,000 a month on groceries,
household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc, but it’s time to get out the
budget cutting axe, go through my expenses, and cut back.

I’m going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio, 1/35,000 of my
total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $4000
a month; I’m going to have to cut that number by 12 cents. Yes, I’m going
to have to get by with $3,999.88, but that’s what sacrifice is all about.
I’ll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries.

(Did the president actually think no one would do the math?)

I still defy each and every one of Obama detractors to PROVE where our country would be today had Obama not intervened with Stimulus II.

For all the “God things are dismal” claims, it’s hard to imagine what level of devastation would have visited our country with the stimulus.

Uh, Vance, Republican bumper sticker ignorance? Which party relied on catchy, bumper-sticker worthy phrases like “Yes We Can” and “Change We Can Believe In” to get a novice politician whose only executive experience was as a community organizer elected?

How are Cain, Palin, and Huckabee anything like the “caricatures” (I presume you meant characters) of Fred Sanford, Ellie Mae Clampett, or Gomer Pyle?

Dems won’t gain in the Senate. The Senate race is in the GOP’s favor because 2006 was a Democratic wave year that narrowly ousted Republicans and propped up many weak Dems who might have otherwise been defeated.

All the republican chest pounding won’t change a thing when Obama wins a second term. No one among the republicans has sense enough to be president, and thus, they will be losers once again.

Go for it, Mr. President. Yours is the one moderate voice available to help cure our bipolar nation of its self-destructive tendencies and idiocy. And after that? Why more political moderates from the Democratic Party, of course – the only place moderation can come from anymore!

Dear Woodstock Mike: I did not vote for Obama but can name a number of significant accomplishments:
1. Only presidential candidate to promise he would get us out of the quagmire GW Bush and the neocons got us into in Iraq without cutting and running and to actually accomplish that goal (unlike Eisenhower who gave up in Korea, Nixon and Ford who led us to defeat in Vietrnam; Reagan who turned tail and ran in Lebanon letting Hezbollah get away with killing 250 Marines and GW Bush who ler Sadaam stay in power at the end of the Gulf War -all notable Republican failures.)
2. he ended the worst economic crisis since the depression without a total collapse of the banking industry and loss of American auto manufacturing;
3. he passed a health care program to deal with Reagan’s unfunded mandate called EMTALA that was a socialist requirement that paying patients pay for all uninsured and nonpaying patients who show up for treatment causing hospitals acrooss the country to close;
4. More terrorist plots have been stopped under him than under George Bush who ignored warnings repeatedly before 9-11;
5. he did not raise taxes;
6. Obama has a secretary of defense, a secretary of the treasury and a secretary of state who gain respect throughout the world;
7. His opponents all are a bunch of clowns and has beens.

independent thinker –Thanks for the chuckles. You forgot:

BROKEN campaign promises and bringing change to Washington
• The national debt rose above $13 trillion dollars, up $1.7 trillion in just one year.

• Rarely does a politician get caught in such a blatant break of a campaign promise as President Obama did with his “I’ll put health care negotiations on C-SPAN” pledge. Obama had promised at least eight times during his run for presidency that he would do so
• Nearly $6 million in stimulus money was paid to two firms run by Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton’s pollster in 2008. Federal records show that $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus helped preserve THREE (3) jobs at Burson-Marsteller, the global public-relations/communications firm headed by Penn.
• Obama entered office, vowing he would do what George W. Bush had not: lead the world to a global climate accord.
• White House said “Pass the stimulus bill and unemployment won’t go above 8.2%, it’s now 9.8%”
• Recipients of federal stimulus dollars have overstated the number of jobs created or saved in GA by more than 1,500, according to an AJC analysis of public records
• Quote: “I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war….You can take that to the bank!”
• Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac need more than $30 BILLION more taxpayer dollars
• the White House is NOT for sale
• Transparency
• bipartisan support
• close Gitmo
• Timmy the TAX CHEAT Geitner
• ACORN
• find Osama bin Laden
• NO lobbyist on the White House staff
• all bills put on line so the public can read them first
• no tax increase for anyone making less than $250K
• ….What happened to “if you’re happy with your health plan you can keep it?
More than 3 million seniors may have to switch their Medicare prescription plan next year, even if they’re perfectly happy with it. “As a result of this policy, there are going to be fewer plans offered in 2011.”
Back in September President Obama challenged Republicans to “not hold middle-class tax cuts hostage any longer” and derided continued tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of the country. “We are ready, this week,” the president said, “to give tax cuts to every American making $250,000 or less.”
Oil to Highest Price Since 2008

and on, and on, and on……let’s say it again, mmm, mmm, mmm Barack the LIAR Obama

2-1 odds, eh? In early 2009, what were the odds the Democrat party was going to get their arses handed to them in 2010?

Keep wishing for your Idiot Messiah. It all comes down to who shows up to vote…Americans or Obama supporters.

haha look at all these sour grapes from a pack of treasonous, anti-american idiots. they can’t handle the fact that the president is a success so they have to retreat beneath the familiar conservative security blanket of false realities. pathetic. i can’t wait for 2012 to roll around just to watch the GOP get their butts handed to them for another four years. the whining ignorant tears of a conservatives are so delicious

Seems to me that somewhere, probably about 4 years ago at this time, Hillary Clinton had the odds to become President? Also, that George Bush had no chance for re-election in 2004 and Dukakis was going to beat the first George Bush. Do we see a pattern?

I would like to know why people think that Ronald Reagan was such a great President? The trickle down affect only trickled to the weathliest in this country. Everyone keeps mentioning fiscal responsibility for who and what? His son recently stated he was suffering from alzheimers and his wife consulted a psyMy husband and I were considered middle class working American who had savings and thank God paid our house off before the bottom fell out. However, we are both educated hard working people and we didn’t get anything out of the Reagean administration. It did nothing for middleclass Americans . I know most southern Whites can’t phantom the thought that President Obama being re-elected. If you are putting your money on Palin or Newt, then you have lost the election already.
