My biggest complaint with Obama was that he hasn't been as "in your face" as i thought he would be.

I've been quite disappointed by a lot of things that he has and hasn't done. But then I keep reminding myself what the alternative might have been.

I just read a book review the other day in the NY Times Book Review section about the 2008 campaign. The two authors mentioned the famous meeting that McCain called for - the "bipartisan" meeting about the economy with himself, Obama, Bush et al. (This was the meeting that the cameras showed McCain sitting at the end of the table not saying a thing.) Apparently, just before walking into the room, McCain grabbed an assistant and asked him "Now what do I need to know about this meeting?"

At one point last night the camera pointed to McCain and i could read his lips telling the guy next to him "hes trying to blame it all on Bush" as Obama was talking about the fact that he walked into an office that already had trillions in debt.

Umm.. who else should he blame it on?

Umm, Congress? A POTUS can't do all of the spending on his own and just like when Congress had a Republican majority, spending is out of control. Unfortunately, this Congress doesn't give a rat's ass if they work with the other party, or not. Then, as if it's all the fault of the other side, they come out and say they want to work together and that the atmosphere in the chambers has been a bit chilly.

When someone points out flaws in others and then does the same thing, secretly or publicly, they're either trying to find out just how much attention we're paying to them or they just think they're above any rules. Politicians are always hypocritical but Pelosi, Dodd, Frank, etc are taking that characteristic to new depths.

Don't get me wrong- Bush was hardly the best but no POTUS can be blamed for everything, even Omaba, err, Obama. However, the people a POTUS appoints can serve to make them a better antenna for blame and Obama has put a lot of unworthy people in the White House.

Well, I don't mean to say "I told you so" but . . .

wait a minute.

YES! Yes, I do mean to say "I TOLD YOU SO!"

The man had no experience in the business world except for being a "Community Organizer" - which we found out translates to helping the now-forgotten ACORN give loans and advice to protitutes and pimps looking to bring in underage Asian girls. Nice!

In a just-released news interview, Donald Trump - a guy that DOES know something about running a business - said that Obama is the worst president in this country's history (thereby relieving Jimmy Carter of that prestigious position) and has said that Obama is leading this country into the gutter. He also said that due to Obama's lack of leadership, the U.S is laughed at by other countries, and there is no longer any respect for us as a nation.

And that's what happens when people ignorant in politics and business are allowed to vote. It seems that these days, you don't have to know anything to become president of the U.S., you just have to throw a few catchy words around, like "Hope" and "Change."

And for all you bleeding-heart liberals that are reading this and can't handle the truth . . . you are the ones that CAUSED this whole mess we are in, voting for a guy that has no clue how to run our country. WAKE UP!

Don't feel so bad, we're in a worse state. Borrowing money to give to a country that's going to default; spiralling energy prices, further fuelled by the ridiculous pursuit of a totally unrealistic "renewables" energy policy; a (pan European) political class that appear totally detached from the electorate.

It's going to be painful, but one can only hope that the fiscal turbulence within the Euro Zone brings the whole rotten, stinking, corrupt, anti-democratic experiment to an end.

The reality is that NO ONE in the United States trusts our government, the banks or the media.

Now there's a truth...



Our government is a joke. More than half the people i know don't even bother to vote anymore. All we see is the cheap joker in the expensive suit dancing around like a clown on TV.

He's just the lead clown (liar). All the other clowns (liars) are congressmen and senators. Then you have the lower level clowns (liars) at the state, county , and city level.


The majority of the people in this country are so far removed from the rest of the planet that its scary.

This is so true. But why is it?

Given that we're all fed heavy doses of BS on a hourly basis, we are left to determine what might be true without having the full story. Nothing like being misinformed and trying to have a real idea on what the problem is. Kind of like trying to figure out why a system won't work, and not knowing what equipment is actually being used...

Take the deficit for example.

All the pols would have you believe that Social Security is a major part of the problem. well it is in a way, but that's only because "uncle" has borrowed the money. Some call it an entitlement.
How is it an entitlement? It's our money and most of us would like to get it back. An entitlement is like welfare, where the money is not ours that we paid in, but is taken from us and given to others.

SS is not the big problem. Government "royalty" is the problem.

Government (Pols and others) get the royal treatment at the expense of the country. Ultimate medical care, billions in perks, and a retirement plan that we can only dream about.


The really scary part is that it's not likely to change, since the sole objective of a pol is to get re-elected (to be able to continue amassing his/her millions), rather than take a chance and try to actually do something that might help correct the problem.

"That's such an outrageous slur it ought to be actionable."


Must confess, I did chuckle (rather a lot) myself. Sad thing is though, it's all too true...

lol, this is the most rediculous post ever.

G.W. Bush raised the debt ceiling 7 times during his mandate and if we look at other presidents you will see more of the same (i.e. debt ceiling being raised). Now I think the US needs to start taking its debt seriously, but to blame the debt on any one President is just stupid. This chrisis is nothing more then politics and anyone that can't see that is the one that needs to wake up.

What does having experience in business have to do with government? With that type of thinking, call a plumber next time you need your HVAC worked on.

Presumably then, following the logic, experience in nothing is the best qualification.

Well, the fact that we are almost at 1 TRILLION in money spent on Iraq & Afghanistan sure as heck isn't helping our economy much is it?

No, but what does that have to do with my post?
