You're giving Dubya too much credit. The other nincompoops in Dubya's administration have to suck for him.
Schools, seems to me the unions are controlling the schools, I’ve recently had a run in with “contractual” issues at my son’s school.
High oil prices, we can all try to use less energy, but too many americans want to have their cake and eat it too. Driving suvs, but not wanting any more drilling. The president has tried to open up Anwar, but it’s not all up to him.
Banks, have you heard of the Community Reinvestment Act? Thanks to Clinton extending that act, banks have had to offer loans to more minorities, many who probably had not business qualifying for a home loan.
The Fed made the decision to bail out Bear Sterns, which, imo, is a good thing, otherwise you would have seen more widespread damage done to the stock market and the damage done to the credibility of other financial institutions would have resulted in bankruptcies. Once people lose confidence and start withdrawing their money from companies such as Bear Sterns, having a company go under then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
The fed did what it had to do, with its bailout of Bear Sterns it restored confidence to a shaky market.
You aren't even funny.
He's lower than Whale Excreta.
To update (and clean up) a 50's phrase.
LOL
... Riposte of the week! I salute you!
And that skunk who stunk up the thread with his Kos-like comment ... Scottie McClellan, you a freeper? Who’d a thunk!
If Obama gets elected he will take money away from defense and pour it into education (teachers paychecks). You should see the teachers here....they think Obama is the answer. They all complain about high gas prices but buy Starbucks coffee everyday.
Personally I think they should do away with Obama’s plans for new teacher mentoring programs and put in a teachers gym. Many teachers are extremely overweight. If they lose 50 pounds they could save money on gas.
If defense is wasteful...so is our educational systems. No matter how much is spend on education we still have kids dropping out of High School. Obama isn’t going to change things except taking money from the honey jar.
Remember teachers have their own 403B retirement fund and don’t pay for Social Security except for the Medicare portion. Regular folks don’t have that option.
Teachers should just shut up and count their blessings.
And don’t vote for Obama.
Take a look at Chicago’s South Side under Obama’s stewardship.
Obama scares me. His whole party scares me. He is only the latest in a string of candidates who think that the U.S. military is a danger to the world. They will do what Labour is doing to the British military, the death by a thousand cuts, and a civilian leadership adverse to risk.
I don’t trust Obama.
What type of RENAGADES is he going to head up his Administration?
This worries me the most.
Its just like his preachers problems.
You can’t say he didn’t stay in the congregation for twenty years not knowing what type of ideology is being spouted.
Well...anyway....stock up on the dry goods, batten down the hatches and keep your powder dry. American people will be very disappointed in their boy King. He will go down in history being our First Black Jimmy Carter!
He will raise taxes and start these crazy social experiments during difficult times. He might start price controls on our fuel and watch the future gas lines.
If John McCain is More the Same.
Obama is Kum and Go...A quicky stop for political expediency. A three year inexperience US Senator Top Gunning for CIC.
I Rather deal with More the Same McCain because he is predictable. At least we know where he was at from October 26, 1967 to March 14, 1973. McCain went through trials and tribulations which shaped his character.
I met McCain a few years ago at a Valet Job I did awhile back. We had a lot of Navy guys working with us and they really liked McCain. They were all gushing all over him. One Navy guys had his book and McCain stayed to sign it for him. The guy was so delighted. McCain also stayed away to shoot the breeze with the Navy guys. He came across as a average guy not pompous or vain.
Obama only did summer school trips to Kenya and Pakistan which he feels qualifies him as a expert on foreign policy!
The guy is a Snobbish Hypocrite. No improvements in the South Side under his stewardship. He used the backs of the poor from the South Side as a stepping stone and hasn’t looked back or appreciate what people have done for him.
Can you come up with a rhyme for Obama?
Rumble with Obama?
Obamadamnation!

Obama and Chicago Public School District 299.
The one he does not send his children to.
They go to private school.
