Montel Williams is the pitchman that is scamming the brothers and sisters.”

If Montel got scammed, also, NObama better look over his shoulder.

Montel is no one to fool with, MS or no MS.

Infomercial stuff is junk or an equivalent can be found in stores cheaper. I can’t understand how anyone falls for these ads.

It’s like going into Spencer Gifts and buying a 24 foot boat for “a dollar two ninety eight”. It’s a plastic boat with 24 plastic feet glued to the bottom.

Phony money for a phony president! Makes sense to me.

The folks that bought these coins shouldn’t feel TOO bad...look at the nimrods paying $75!!! for a copy of a month-old Amazing Spider-Man comic featuring Obama that is SUPPOSED to sell for a retail price of $3.99 (and that’s inflated over the standard $2.99). Plenty of cons in the comic industry, as well...

Snake oil is what Obama is all about, so I guess it’s very fitting.

The “progressives” chose style over substance. They are left with neither. Unfortunately, they’ve dragged us into the darkness with them.

I worked in several grocery stores and you’re mistaken, it is NOT the vendors’ job to face and restock the items, it’s the store employees’ job.

If we were to wait for the vendor to come and face things, rearrange things and get stock from the storeroom, it would never get done, they don’t come in that often...when shelves get messed up and items run low, it was always our responsibility to put it right...not wait for some vendor from the outside to come in.

Unfortunately he’s a schizophrenic... He did vote for Obama... His reason? “I’m voting for whoever’s going to give me free healthcare.”

I'm not trying to be mean, but history isn't your cousin's strong point. Give him an impartial history book outlining Hitler's free health care initiatives, particularly his actions towards the mentally ill.

Fortunately, he's not a danger to himself nor others, and is able to function at a relatively high level. However he's not able to really understand what his vote actually means, nor would be really understand what you're getting at here either.

One of the problems that schizophrenics has is that they interpret the things that go on around them differently than do the rest of us. Which is also why paranoia often comes along with it.

...After looking at ONLY the TOP ones in each slot with the Obamassiah on the cover, I put them back in the proper slot, making sure that the top mag is the reverse of the way it is supposed to be, with the back cover now as the "selling point".

I've seen the same thing done to Thomas Sowell's books in the local book store. It's immature, no matter which ideology does it.

I figure if enough people did this, and the mags with Obamassiah on the cover don't sell very well, and is losing them money, if they'll stop bothering to put his pic on the front of them??

It works so well when Hollywood's anti American/Unpatriotic movies tank, right?

My point was Hitler emptied the prisons and insane asylums by killing the inmates.

On second thought, you'd better not tell him that.

You know that, and I know that, and at one point, HE knew that. This is often a disease that strikes people in middle age. He's now about 50 years old, but when he was younger, he graduated college with a BA in business administration, and worked for a number of years at a major financial institution. But over the years, the disease has taken hold of him, and he's no longer really capable of holding down a normal job, nor even holding a conversation with a stranger, for the most part. This is the sort of thing that does not need to be brought to his attention.

He's my cousin and I love him. I am in regular contact with his psychiatrist, and I would NEVER bring this up with him. I'm trying to convince him that he needs to file for SSI disability, because he really can no longer hold a job. He was fired from his last job as a sacker at a grocery store. It was only in the last 10 years or so that he's really gone down-hill. It's sad to see.
