Can I be the first to post an overused, ineffective, annoying, sarcastic "Change we can believe in. "?

I know it's coming.

So what if the numbers are falling far short of Obama’s rosy projections, it’s all Bush’s fault. You can’t blame Obama; he’s only 1/8 of the way thru his term.

I wanted to beat the Obama sycophants to the draw.

time to halt Porkluus spending 100% and give back whats left to whoever we borrowed it from. time to do what actually works.

but that won't happen and God's grace to all those paying for this fool of a president's folly with their livelihoods.

I don’t know that we’ve gotten anything out of the way. If the cheer squad decides to chime in, we’ll get to hear it again, and again, and again…

Alright, maybe we should just place bets on how many times we'll hear "Change we can believe in ", "Bush's fault" and "Iraq".



(didn't want to give you the wrong idea with a wink, either)

"Change we can believe in"... at least 1 time for every 5 posts.
"Bush's Fault"... at least every other post (2:1) by a Obama supporter regardless.
"Iraq"... interested to see how this one plays out.

They're spinning this already---Now-Now--"since the loss of 470,000 jobs in June is "less than the month" before this is suppose to be good news--LOL. Remember? Barack Obama was out there yesterday prior to these numbers telling us that his 787 BILLION is working.


Does anyone have any stats on the last time this country lost almost 500 THOUSAND jobs in what is considered one of the busiest months of the year? June?

OK fine, here's a start;

We will be paying for the bankruptcy of our country caused by Bush and his goddam Republican cronies with the war in Iraq for the next decade, get used to it, and thank Obama it is not a whole lot worse. The only reason this is happening is that the few remaining Republican assholes in Congress still somehow have enough influence to keep Obama from spending what is really necessary

Now the DNC has the 60 in the Senate, should be fun for the next 18 months.

Change that we do NOT believe in will be forced on us like it or NOT.

Okay, here's a question. I really wish one of you Obama fans would actually answer this. If Bush's deficit spending of $400B per year bankrupt our country, then what sense does it make, and how is it that Obama's deficit spending of $1.8T this year and $1T per year after that won't make things worse? Just for the record...again...I was fully against and criticised Bush for the deficits. And also for the record, f*** Iraq. If congress didn't spend the money there, they would have spent it somewhere esle. Iraq is and was not the problem. Congress is and always will be until we take a stand and throw them all out.

Still sore about the war of northern aggression.

Highly comical. How can the U.S. ever go bankrupt when they hold the key to the printing press? Think about it, the U.S. Government owes its debt in dollars. They will print as many as they need to pay off their debt.

On the other hand, if Obama doesn't fuck it up (and since he's just a puppet for the truly powerful, he won't be allowed to), that Iraqi oil will be doing this country good for decades to come.

So quit bitching for a minute, get your head out of the Dem vs Rep smokescreen that you've fallen for hook, line, and sinker, and understand that Saddam was a brightly wrapped gift to the U.S.. Without him, we never would have had cause to go into Iraq and secure our, er their, oil.

hows that working out in Zimbabwe ?


where do you keep your Iraqi oil ?
