The rich love to kiss Obama’s arse. It keeps him and his IRS off their backs.

We are now just ‘the people’, under the control of an oligarchy consisting of the political class and the extremely wealthy, with lots of help from special interests within and from outside the US. I fear every day for the future of what has been the most free nation to ever exist in modern history.

You’d think Ellison would have helped with the software for 0bamaCare.

Interesting criticism from someone who has a mansion, a private 747, thinks the entire U.S. military, the DHS, FBI, DOJ, NSA and the IRS are his private security forces, and every government agency is at his personal disposal and all money in the U.S. belongs to him.

Playing on public courses is dangerous if you are afraid to be out in public

Apparently Oracle got the contract for Oregon’s website. You know the website that had not a single sign up. Not one. They also got 100 mil+ from the fed gov for their non functional website. It is a disaster. So yes, Larry is getting his cut.

Ellison’s a lowlife dirtbag skunk, and I’m betting he had his filthy hands in it somewhere; probably with Oregon’s site.

Obama's priorities...

Like demagoguing income inequality whilst hob-nobbing with and mooching off of billionaires.

I remember we used to see Bush constantly in the crowds, shaking hands, greeting people.

We never see that with Banana Republic Obama.

If members of Congress accept this kind of gift, they have all sorts of legal obligation to report it, pay for it, etc., etc. I remember Paul Ryan’s bottle of wine for one thing . How does this happen?

Not even Oracle can do the impossible.

This is impossible. The Democrat party is the party of the working man, not the party of the rich.
