I picture you at about 350 pounds, laying on the couch with the soaps on, screaming children running loose all over the house, your boyfriend under his car trying to get it to run for one more day, all the while calling DFACS on your cell phone every hour or so to see if your EBT card has been replenished.

Ms.Concern,
No.—No.—No to growing up if it makes me like you.There are many people that I respect.Obama isn’t one of them,sorry.
Obama declared winner of 2010 Indy 500!!!
Seriously,folks,this isn’t a joke.The awarding of The Nobel Peace Prize to Obama is a serious travesty.Nothing good will come out of it.There will be serious ramifications for Afghanistan’s people.You know,the ones who aren’t blowing people up.The every day people.

DEAR MS CONCERN:
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR “RESPECT” FOR JOHN MCCAIN IF HE WON THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR NOTHING!
I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO HEAR YOUR “RESPECT” FOR “LEADERS OF OTHER COUNTRIES” – SPECIFICALLY LEADERS LIKE AMADINEJAD, QADDAFI, CHAVEZ, ETC.
I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO HEAR, IN DETAIL, WHY PRESIDENT OBAMA DESERVES “PROPS” FOR HIS LENGTHY TERM IN OFFICE TO DATE.
I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO HEAR THREE REASONS WHY YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA OTHER THAN “HE’S A DEMOCRAT,” “HE’S BLACK,” OR “I HATE SARAH PALIN.”

Obama has brains, he listen to the people and he came from Evey day people and he does not want to blow every thing up and will make America a lot better. not having all the world hate us. but it is OK for the southern taliban wing nut to hate him.
why do you vote for the Taliban wing nut GOP? McCain is a man with a heart and is respected on all side and show his respect for others even the wing nuts hate him !Plain clue less and has a greed for money. Where is here High school diploma? The confederated wing nuts are wost than H1n1!!!

Has brains like… thinking that the free market is a flawed system?
Listens to people like…completely ignoring the hundreds of thousands of bipartisan citizens that marched to Washington to protest government spending?
Better like…10% unemployment (when it wasn’t supposed to go above 8% after the “stimulus” plan?)
Came from every day people like…being mentored by a known terrorist? Every day people that listen to bigots like Jeremiah Wright?
Not have the world hate us like… every radical Islam nation STILL hates us and now they think we are run by a giant sally who will never step up to defend the greatest country on Earth?
Where is his high school diploma like… where is Obama’s birth certificate?
Confederated wing nuts are “wost” than H1N1 like… the countless number of unborn children that have been aborted – something Obama supports as “pro choice?”
I have spoken.

Barack Obama named best President of the 00’s.
Good God, any person that can breath could have claimed that title. Big deal Obama. You must feel pretty big of your self winning that award from a President that will go down as one of the worst ever. Ohhh, big man.
BTW Obama I see your back up near 60% approval again, this award will cause it to drop again. Coward.

Obama is as corrupt as they come. Do any of you people honestly believe if Dallas or New York was the potential host city for the Olympics he would have tried to get it? The answer is no, he wanted it for his corrupt buddies in the Windy City. This is a guy who promised a bunch of bull during his campaign and has not delivered on any of it. How about his CSPAN debates with doctors, insurance companies, and drug companies with him at a big table? How about his promise to give a $3,000 tax credit for each new full time employee hired by buisnesses? How about ending income Tax for all Seniors making less than $50,000? How about the 5 day grace period for signing bills for public review and input on the White House website? I will tell you what happened, it was all lies, lies,lies. YOU LIE MR. PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!

How redundant Mr. Galloway. Didn’t we have a blog on Friday about this same issue? The title of your Blog says a mouth full, but what bothers me more than the incessant, ignorant, hate-filled bloggers comments are the ones who write in ALL capital letters and misspell words like they haven’t made it past the second grade. They could not possibly be expected to make articulate and relevant statements about anything–much less about the President.

What an exciting caper. Come on everyone. Its going viral. We can do it. We are getting close. It will be fun. Just got off the phone with a friend at ESPN.com, got an update on the vote count. Right now the vote looks like a repeat of the last two elections, we’re getting slaughtered. But the polls are always wrong, so who cares. Lets pretend. Anyway here are the latest results. You can see the top 25 at espn.com
1) Tebow……12,265 votes
2) Clausen….11,006 votes
25) AJ Green…92…..He’s from Georgia
193) President Obama….8 votes
We’re going viral folks, any second now. Wow, this is exciting. Just think this all started here. Its amazing. Expect a call any moment from our friends at Fox News, this is most definitely the perfect story for them.
Congrats!
Take that Obama.

If SNL can make fun of him so can we. You guys are actually researching or fake researching if Obama is getting votes? How funny is that? This is awesome.

It figures that those people over there-those Godless Socialists+Communists would honor Hussein Nobama. They’re thrilled that they have this installed-president right where they got him–to put all of his Socialist ideas into what was once the land of the free.
The cover to the sewer out in the front of my house is more important than this disgusting prize that also went to that sick old man, Jimmah Carter, that Godless “human being” who came close to making the USA extinct.
Now Hussein Nobama is finishing the job that Jimmah started. When will this world’s Christians soldiers put a stop to this madness? What is Norway? Norway is a nation of Godless baby killers bent on a cradle to grave mentality and a huge supporter of those who coddle dictators.
I guess these secular/atheist old men will award Chavez next year. Why not Ronald Reagan? Because these Godless old men hate freedom. Why not GW Bush? They wanted him dead! This is a big slippery slope.

With wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Americans of all races losing their lives, we can’t even show any dignity or respect to each other. Even with the economy in turmoil and unemployment at an all time high, we still find the energy and pettiness to hate and belittle. I wonder why GOD BLESS AMERICA?
