That's what the DemocRats are doing, spreading the wealth around to the groups that will give some of it back for the next national election cycle...

Scratch my back.

Wow. A man of suspicious background renegs on a promise to end suspicious dealings?

I’m shocked.

I can't decide whether we're heading more towards the USSR, Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

I guess we're picking and choosing the worst aspects of each to build our new utopia.

The next time a Harvard Law graduate vies for the Presidency, for God’s sake, say NO. Don’t put another one anywhere near the reigns of power.

The next time a Harvard graduate is put up as a candidate to have anything to do with any part, parcel or portion of our economy, for God’s sake again—say NO!

My God! How can such a bunch of absolute losers be allowed to do what they’re doing? The faculty at Harvard must be the most stupid people who happen to have a PhD fall into the front seat of their Volvo. Say NO!
Better to have a second year student of a JUCO try his or her luck than anyone from Harvard anywhere close to tax revenue, defense, regulations and the executive.

Obama is a corrupt, two faced, hypocritical, lying sack of excretment...and an abject, anti-American marxist ideologue to boot.

The administration was taking its sweet time to distribute these funds. I guess they were waiting on the lax rules before the largess begins to flow!

My Guess: Nazi Germany!
Featuring:
1) ACORN as the brown shirts
2) Christian conservatives as the Jews
3) The liberal left as the Nazi Party

...and Obama as you know who!

Obama is more of a figurehead.

I think “You know who” is better cast as Soros
