Great 'Commercial' and it shows nicely all the Folks that that Democrat Elites dispise. Lifelong hard workers, tax payers, child rearers, Veterans and--up until now--generally silent in politics, except to vote.

Well, Mr.Socialist Change-Diminish American Liberty Obama, THE TIMES,'YO, THEY BE A'CHANGIN'!

You want perspective: a million seconds is 11.5 days; a billion seconds is 32 years; a trillion seconds is 32,0000 years (thirty two thousand!).
Just to throw some light on throwing the number trillion around loosely. Obama has us 12 trillion, at least, in debt and is going for trillions more with health care, cap and trade, etc.

Remember these trolls on this blog are here only to disrupt and antagonize.They don't have the families they say they do,they aren't employed where the say they work,and they aren't as old as they say they are...so keep that in mind when you address their posts which are designed to get a rise out of you.Remember the fight is beyond this blog,so have fun and keep it all in perspective.

What is it with you liberals? Do you dream about President Bush and V.P. Cheney? Always knew liberals would become depressed when President Bush left office.

Of course, you do have SARAH PALIN. So far liberals have only raped and crucified her.

But it's early.

MRS RAMSEY: The ratings have been, and will continue to be, huge for FOX News. Glenn Beck's numbers are right through the roof. In contrast, CNN and MSNBC are in complete chaos. Glenn has them in such a tizzy they're considering going with repeats of "I Love Lucy". Awww.

The sad thing is this administration and its minions are not the Democratic party. They have temporarily railroaded the Democratic party. They are one of "ism's": socialism, marxism or communism possibly all three or at least combinations of all three.

You seem to be suggesting that this "czar" business was not what Bush should have done. On that point, we agree -- while I can live with the president taking advice from experts in areas outside his general knowledge, giving those people policy-making power without proper vetting was unacceptable. I consider the same thing unacceptable under Obama, particularly considering how he has sought to blame all the ills on the way Bush did things.

Something is not morally right or wrong based on who does it.

Also, Jones' qualifications are suspect at best when the person in charge of advising the President on "green jobs" can't even define the word.

One last word to those applauding Jones' resignation: If resignation did...

And Muslims with ties to radical Islamic groups---with only one purpose: TO SPREAD HATE:

Alikhan is connected to and affiliated with MPAC, the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
MPAC's Senior Advisor, Maher Hathout, who has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and espouses the radical brand of Islam known as Wahhabism, was invited to address the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles in 2000.
In a 1999 position paper, MPAC justified Hezbollah's deadly 1983 bombing of the American Marine barracks in Lebanon as a "military operation" rather than a terrorist attack.

The party of diversity---as long as that diversity coincides with their vision of socialism and the allowing of communists under their tent---such as:
1.) Van Jones
2.) John Holdren
3.) Rosa Brooks, Pentagon Advisor:
“Years of foolish policies have left us with a choice: We can bail out journalism, using tax dollars and granting licenses in ways that encourage robust and independent reporting and commentary, or we can watch, wringing our hands, as more and more top journalists are laid off.” How long do we have to think about it? Some of her so-called top liberal journalists laid off would likely be good for our nation! I can’t believe she, as a former journalist, is suggesting limiting free speech by requiring a license....

BTW speaking of precedents, Bush had 37 czars.

Karl Rove, was the ultimate powerful czar, now opines that his job “a giant expansion of presidential power.”
He served as the “domestic policy czar” in the Bush White House.
President Bush himself appointed numerous czars in order to deal with various public crises and controversies, including a “cybersecurity czar,” “regulatory czar,” “AIDS czar,” “bird-flu czar” and “Katrina czar.”
This current czar uproar is ironic, given
that the Cheney/Bush administration that was marked by the expansion of executive power.

Go figure!

a dollar short." pretty much sums up the approach of the Obama government, doesn't it? Ramrod and obfuscate; discussion and debate can take the hindmost.

Democratic leaders promised to wait 48 hours before voting on the vote on the so-called stimulus bill.

A House rule requiring conference reports to be publicly available for 72 hours before a vote is frequently waived.

Obama broke a campaign pledge that legislation would be posted on the White House website five days before he signed it into law.

Democrats added 300 pages of amendments to the climate change bill at 3 a.m. the day of the vote for final passage.

...and the list goes on and on. Obama is a menace to our liberty and freedom.

How 'bout this. Let the czars take the Obama Health Care Plan.

They're socialists. They should love it.

Go to District Attorney in your County and DEMAND that the DA present CRIMINAL INFORMATION on bo to the Grand Jury INVESTIGATION all the CRIMES committed by the BHO campaign in your County!
