From Hawaii? Land-0-His-Birth? *SMIRK*

Let me ask again...why isn’t ANYONE from Hawaii claiming this doofus? Why aren’t there already BIDS in the works to build his Presidential ‘Lie-Barry’ on those BEAUTIFUL islands?

Come on! The Tourist Council in that STATE can’t be THAT lame. Who wouldn’t want to go to Hawaii on a quest for 0bama’s future historical papers? *SMIRK*

when my daughter was a baby and needed a vaccination, we used to distract her.

I used to stand on one side of her, dangling a toy, while to doctor stood on the other with the needle. While she was focused on the toy, she got the needle.

That is EXACTLY what is going on here with these bonuses. It is a distraction while the leftists jabs our Constitution with extinction, not vaccination.

So which Republican in Washington has the b*lls to start calling LONG LOUD AND HARD for a special prosecutor to investigate Dodd on Obama for bribery by AIG?

Obama has either jumped the shark, or has a fork in him. You choose. Either way, the handwriting is on the wall.

Ive beene thinking the same thing. Sure it wasnt pretty but they got the mob fired up about executive pay and passing legislation that targets a specific group with a 90% tax. Not a good precedent.

Robert Sowell was asked what he would ask Obama if he got the chance and he answered,” I’d ask him to resign”.

Think they slipped the bonus rule in the stimulus bill so they could play this populist gambit later?

Great points everyone. This is a perfect opportunity for Repubs to scream at the top of their lungs and demand answers.....why do I hear crickets chirping instead.
