This is the equivalent of a Husband and Wife cutting their $3,500 monthly budget by ONE PENNY.

Obama really does think we are all stupid!

This is a great talking point. Conversatives should use it, but typically they talk way over the heads of most Americans and rattle off liberal, inside-the-Beltway acronymns and doublespeak.

For his part, notwithstanding his many attributes, Michael Steele can never close a sale.

His base is. Therefore, he believes everyone is.
This is the first time he's ever done anything outside of inner Chicago, and he did very little there. Saddam thought he had the greatest military in the world during Desert Storm, but he'd never been outside of Iraq.

You'll never write for the AP. The correct PC term is "couple".

Please don't exaggerate. It's the equivalent of cutting that budget by a FULL DIME. That's real belt-tightening. /s

In all fairness, it would actually be about a dime of savings on $3500.

Of course, the point is that if I save $.10 per month on my budget, at the end of the year I have $1.20! During that same year however, my four credit cards which average about $8.60 in interest charges per month will have earned more than $412.00 in interest and I am going to pay that with my $1.20 that I saved!

See, this is how we become a prosperous nation again - I think - I mean that’s what Obama said!

I don't know about all of us, but 52.9% certainly appear to be just stupid enough to buy it.

“This is the equivalent of a Husband and Wife cutting their $3,500 monthly budget by ONE PENNY.”

You have a very good way for people to understand large numbers. This is a meaningless reduction and all for the purpose of window dressing.

69,492,576 people were dumb enough to vote for him versus 59,946,378 for McCain. Let’s hope that a lot of the Obama voters wake up between now and 2010, and reduce the number of Socialist Congressmorons.
