		<description>The spiraling concentration of wealth in the &quot;private sector&quot; is a de facto product of fascist plutocracy: a corrupt, anti-American pseudo-elite (Jefferson, Our Founder, called it the &quot;pseudo-aristoi&quot;) which has taken hold of government to guarantee their enrichment at the cost of The People, Righteousness and Justice.

Why does one think, though Vatican-banker Rockefeller and the domestic collection plate funds of the Roman Catholic Church funded the rise of Hitler and Nazism through Prescott Bush, neither they nor Bush&#039;s son or grandson have yet to be brought to justice? In retrospect was not John Kennedy correct to order our withdrawal from Vietnam? 58,000 of our best would have lived their lives and 58,000 families would have been spared the tragic loss of a loved one? G-d is not mocked.

The Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court would not have cheated a draft-dodging closet-queen into the White House to commit 9/11 killing 3,000 innocents then and many more thousands of innocents, under Our Flag, in Afghanistan and Iraq while restarting the international heroin trade and protecting the corrupt Saudi &quot;royal family,&quot; the Rockefellers &quot;boys&quot; for over one-hundred years, while profiting themselves and their evil affiliates.

The above anonymous supporters of treason are casting a curse upon themselves, a cancer which shall metastasize in time and free the rest of us from their evil master &quot;Babylon,&quot; soon to be &quot;cast into the Pit&quot; by the American People.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s one for you &quot;L. Adams&quot;:

In order for Obama to pay for his 2010 budget, he would have to tax every single dollar of every household earning $75,000 or more in order to pay for it.  That means NO income for those folks--except for the fact that Obama is shoving the debt onto the backs of the next several generations.

Obama represents the biggest takeover of the private sector by government in our lifetime.  And yes, Obama (along with the Democrat Congress) is responsible for that.  

You should really try to stop blaming Bush for everything.  When would you like Obama to be held responsible--let&#039;s see.....never.  Is there a single Democrat who takes responsibility for anything?

Peggy, you should take a remedial English grammar course.  And a logic course.  

Also, if you&#039;ll actually read a little, you&#039;ll find that Michelle My Belle tripled her income at her hospital job immediately after Obama was elected U.S. Senator.  Google &quot;quid pro quo&quot; while you&#039;re at it.  The hospital received a hefty earmark from Obama after he was installed in office.  A sound investment for the hospital but another Obama Chicago-style tawdry move.

And speaking of grades, where are Obama&#039;s grades?  Where are his transcripts?  If you&#039;ve seen them, post the link.  Why does he hide his background at Columbia?  While you&#039;re at it, since you&#039;re an expert on Palin&#039;s &quot;education&quot; background, post the links to her transcripts.

Also, should we amend the Constitution to elect presidents by the number and kind of degrees they possess?  Does experience matter?  You don&#039;t have to answer the last one--I know your answer.

I&#039;m waiting.</description>

		<description>To the person who said Obama got into Harvard cause he is African-American..........................If that makes you feel better thinking that than good for you.     Michelle left a 275k job to support her husband as a candidate.   I bet you are not qualified to be her assistant.    How did Obama become the president of the Harvard review?  Oh, that right cause he is black????    I can tell you are the lowest in this country.   You blame social programs for minorities acheiving.   Obama didn&#039;t just attend 2 Ivy league schools, he GRADUATED from both of them.   

Even though people on this board debate policies,   I notice no one is commenting on Palin&#039;s education record.  Five schools, 6yrs= 1 journalism degree.   That is something that is not debatable, it&#039;s FACT!   Palin would not have made it through 1 semester at Harvard, Columbia and Princeton.   Those are all the schools the Obama&#039;s GRADUATED from in a timely mannor.</description>

		<description>Obama has never run anything before now, and his scattershot, everything but the kitchen sink (as long as it&#039;s liberal) approach in these first few weeks is good evidence of that. Wall Street isn&#039;t buying in and selling off en masse to stick their money in a mattress somewhere and wait this out. Obama&#039;s never had to make a payroll or balance a budget and there&#039;s no reason to believe he knows anything about economics at all. And his Treasury Secretary is a tax cheat. Sell!

Oh, and Sarah should just stick to being a governor for now. Nothing wrong with that.</description>

		<description>I am a political independent...  However, I have to respond to some of the garbage posted on this blog.

&quot;Bush’s grades, etc. are an attempt at distracting attention from Obama’s failed economic policies–including the government takeover of our financial institutions, automobile manufacturing concerns, and health care (for starters).&quot;

OK - so Obama has been in office for what - under 60 days and all of the US problems are his fault?  Government takeover of financial institutions?  This is what Obama is doing?  If so, what did Bush do?  Are you better off now than 8 years ago?

And automobile manufacturing... This is also Obama&#039;s fault?

Can&#039;t you think of anything better than the false garbage you type here?

Now, about Sarah Palin... Yes the woman has a pretty face.  But let&#039;s face it, Sarah Palin was not ready for prime time.  I am surprised that anyone would defend Sarah Palin as being smart or being ready for prime time.  In interview after interview, Sarah Palin was stumped.  I mean, come on... Do you really think the woman was the best candidate for Vice President?  I personally like John McCain and wanted John McCain to defeat Bush in the primaries of 2000.  That being said, I think McCain cheaped himself, his party, and the American people by his selection of Sarah Palin.  It seems to me that the choice of Sarah Palin was for her good looks and the notion (or wish) that the Hillary voters would flock to Palin simply because of her gender.  Didn&#039;t John McCain know that Hillary voters weren&#039;t shallow enough to support Palin simply because of her gender?

In closing, I find it amazing that people praise Sarah Palin as being the future of the Republican party.  If so, it&#039;s a sad time for that party when their future leader is someone that has to literally read her answers from a notebook during a VP debate.  If Sarah Palin chooses to return in 2012, I hope that she will at least be more knowledgeable about the issues and able to speak to those issues.</description>

		<description>Stevie Wonder can see why Obama is villified, and ultimately demonized by so many on the right, its commonly referred to as bigotry. The man
is about as much a socialist as my &quot;Aunt Fannie&quot;, he&#039;s simply having
to deal with a crisis of unprecedented proportions. As for the stock
market, how in  heck is it going to remain rosy with companies shedding jobs by the thousands hourly, and the crisis is global. My question to
you detractors, is Obama affecting the entire world&#039;s economies, because
they&#039;re all hurting aren&#039;t they? I&#039;ll say this to remain relevant to the
thread, Sarah Palin&#039;s dumb as a fern.</description>
