New headline! Obama promotes poor posture for most Americans.

He needs it out in the open so his brown shirts can confiscate it easier

I’m boycotting the 0bama economy. As far as I’m concerned, he can take my money in taxes, but he can’t make me spend what I have left. I’m only buying guns, ammo, food, and gasoline at this point.

Stuffing money in mattresses will make it more difficult for him to confiscate it. All the more reason to be careful.

Obama/Dodd/Bair to Americans: Don’t stuff your money in the mattress...oh, and by the way, can we allocate $500,000,000 for the FDIC since Bair thinks so many banks will go broke the FDIC might be insolvent. /sarc

Urges Americans not to 'stuff money in mattresses'.

Then WHY do he and his political friends stuff money into offshore accounts?

At least stuffing it into a mattress isn't illegal.

DON’T STUFF MONEY IN MATTRESS...true, AND Obama should know as he was at meetings for NWO. There will be a new currency, so the old money won’t matter, it’ll be like the Confederate Money after Civil War. There will be either the “Amero” or another One World Currency....Check it out:
This write encourages Gold, but I do not, as in 1933 Gold was confiscated by government, so “buyer beware”.

Actually, he’s right.

He’s about to make US currency worthless anyway. Might as well buy something useful with it - like another hunting rifle.

Money stuffed your mattresses was one of the best performing investments in 2008 and the same will hold true in 2009

Pretty much everything Obama promised pre-election he’s not delivered. Any reason for people not to do the opposite of what he suggests now (given his own example)?

A large mason jar buried in the gardem, that’s another thing altogether.

Working people shouldn’t put money in the matress, it could cause back pain. Try in the safe with the guns and ammo.

Urges Americans not to 'stuff money in mattresses'

Brought to you by the same dogcrap hypocrites who trashed George Bush for advising Americans to counter the 9/11 economic shocks by "going shopping."

“I’m boycotting the 0bama economy.... I’m only buying guns, ammo, food, and gasoline at this point.”

What you are saying sounds like a corollary to the John Galt effect: Don’t participate in the consumer economy, hang on to your cash.

That’s my shopping list, too, by the way. A new car? A new TV? You have to be kidding!

So true. But, since the President is Obama, it's well past time to lower your expectations.

We are to keep all monies in approved places where the great leader’s government has access - just in case he needs to spread it around for all our own good. That is all.

If it's in the Baily Brother Savings and Loan (your mattress), at least it's somewhere where Old Man Potter (CommieBama) can't get his hands on it.

However, when you try to SPEND it, you may be interrogated as to where you got it.

CommieBama has seen all of those old B&W films about the practice of communism...he knows how it's done.

He can kiss my unmentionable. He’s not getting anything of mine, ever.

And don’t make me expound: I don’t like the idea of suspension. Suffice it to say, I didn’t vote for him, and I can hardly wait for the Tea Party.
