Maybe we could find a conservative who is also a good politician.

[popdonnelly]

He’s wrong. It’s that simple. Big government always fails, socialism always fails, and left-leaning people like Obama are incapable of learning that.

[SeaHawkFan]

Socialist believe that socialism has failed every other time is only because those other socialists weren’t as smart as they are.

[mojitojoe]

This is right out of the Marxist handbook. America, what have you done!!

His polls number went up after the speech the other night. The sheeple bought it. I knew this would empower him. He is an evil man. He may end up making Hitler look like a lamb.

[freekitty]

Me too. He is trying to wipe us off the face of the earth. He’s not going to.

LOL, Brilliant...Thanks for my best laugh of the day!!!

[GrouchoTex]

Amen to that!

[popdonnelly]

His budget’s a joke, a bad one, and it’s on us.

Is it time to report to the camps yet?

Patience!

[topfile]

Man the life boats! They be about to sink.

THE GUY IS A RAVING MAD LUNATIC!!!! IMPEACH HIM NOW!!!

I have a feeling if that were to happen the Market would jump up 1000 points in one day.

Is it time to report to the camps yet?

I don't think we have to worry about it. I believe they come and give you a ride.

"I realize that passing this budget won't be easy. Because it represents real and dramatic change...

Care to offer any specifics Present Potato Head?

I didn't think so. The man is full of greenhouse gas.

[mojitojoe]

The SCOTUS can raise the stock market 1000 points in one day, take one of the cases and demand he release all medical records, passports, college records, and the vault copy of the birth certificate.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I hate to goatse you guys but this really warrants it... hehe.

[two23]

When do we start and and on what grounds?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I believe he will finally meet with heavy resistance this time, in regards to his ridiculous “budget”. Even some Democrats are starting to get worried about the reaction that the real majority of Americans are strongly voicing.

the Ministry of Propaganda (Formerly known as the MSM.) is trying to cover it all up, and is still trying to convince the public that everybody supports this, but it is now become the equivalent of trying to sweep a yard of dirt under a washcloth.

[Ulysse]

I heard,from the ONE,that he would unite USA/Americans.
I heard that GWBUSH was the great evil/divider

U.S. senators had a median net worth of approximately $1.7 million in 2007, the most recent year for which their financial data is available, and 62 percent of the Senate's members could be considered millionaires. In the House of Representatives, the median net worth was about $684,000, with 39 percent of members having net worths estimated to be at least $1 million. By contrast, only about 1 percent of all American adults can be considered millionaires. Growth between 2006 and 2007 was still a healthy 13 percent, despite indications last year that the economy was headed south.

Who are the fat cats?

One of the big gainers in 2007 was Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, who leaped from being the 70th richest senator in 2006 to the 31st in 2007. Obama's average net worth jumped from an estimated $800,000 in '06 to $4.7 million last year, fueled largely by royalties from his two best-selling books.
