We send $500 billion a year to the Saudis for oil yet we have more oil then they do in shale oil, coal diesel and normal oil. 4 times their reserves onshore in the lower 48.

Add offshore, Alaska and other sources and we have a LOT more. This is why the Dems keep grabbing more land to say it is federal land.

The 50% or so who do not pay taxes like what they are hearing from this Marxist POS and will bring him back in 2012. A revolt would be futile.

By the way, I have heard this exact SAME STUFF about gold since the mid-1990s. It has never gone much above 900, often hovers at 400 or so. Yet each new “thing” is going to cause gold to skyrocket, and it’s always the “Fed’s fault.”

“Illegals send 20 BILLION dollars a year back to Mexico thru Western Union. TAX THEM!!!”

Tax them 110% and put Western Union out of business.

Obama couldn’t pass a background check to work in an school.

The Yes We Can Cult members elected Jim Jones and are too stupid to realize the American dream has been replaced by Kool-Aide.

This is actually Obama's argument for the Federal Government to takeover healthcare. We're in deficit because of spending for healthcare. We need to takeover healthcare, so we can cut costs. You know, everything's cheaper, once the government takes it over.

I thought up of a sign for Tea Party protests: "Are they insane, stupid or just evil?" Then on the back have "All Three".

>>Oh Crap.

No, actually that’s one of the first truthful things I’ve heard Comrade Chairman Obamski articulate since he occupied the WH.

How he responds to the Truth, however....

"I thought there was a check and balance system to safeguard this kind of tyrannical power."

There used to be. Congress has long ceded its power of checks and balances to the executive and judicial branches.

As much as Captain Obvious is used, I laugh every time.

The craziest thing about the article is he still wants to spend money on Gov Health care, even though we don't have money. While also saying, it will help the economy. What planet is this guy from? I know, Alinsky planet. Not to mention he's out there saying this amount of spending is unsustainable but we still need to spend money. Huh...

“I don’t get it. Is he delusional?”


Yes, very much so. There will be morons that will believe that spending money on health care will help the economy. I can’t believe I just wrote that, and he thinks that. Strange and scary times indeed...

Absolutely, the gold owners are going to shocked when all gold is ‘nationalized’.

They will have as much luck with that this time around as they will nationlizing private weapons and ammo.

The solution to being out of money is to spend more of it

Note the reply to the question about CA:

OBAMA: No. I think that what you're seeing in states is that anytime you got a severe recession like this, as I said before, their demands on services are higher. So, they are sending more money out. At the same time, they're bringing less tax revenue in. And that's a painful adjustment, what we're going end up seeing is lot of states making very difficult choices there...

So he advocates CA making difficult choices, yet he's talking about a huge new entitlement program. Someone should nail him hard on the inconsistency - maybe Newt or Steele will.

Exactly. sarc...Because I know when I'm in debt, I always try to spend more to stimulate my income...This guy, this guy, please tell me eventually the obots will wake up. Probably not though, they are benefiting. I'll just hang my “hope” on the “moderates” when they realize paying five dollars for milk is a bad thing. Inflation should wake morons up.

Obama would be reelected today if he ran. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 36% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty percent (30%) now Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +6. Overall, 57% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far while 41% disapprove.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I know alot of "moderates" who are having massive buyers remorse over voting for Obama. I told them exactly who and what Obama and the Democrats are and what they would do only to be called a "right wing nutjob" by them, now they are sheepishly admitting that I was right. When they ask me what I think is going to happen over the next four years I tell them, most of them go a sickly shade of green and look like they have been punched in a very sensitive spot. I also know a few conservatives who are now beginning to see what I had been telling them would happen if they sat the election out is all coming true.

Yeah right, Obama won because we sat out the election whoever "we" is. Obama won by 9 million votes. He demolished McCain who had many of the same positions as Obama on issues such as closing Gitmo, not drilling in ANWR, supporting amnesty and a cap and trade system, approving TARP, etc. If you nominate a self-described maverick to be your standard bearer, then there are consequences. McCain's age and lackluster performance as a candidate pitted against a younger, more energetic and eloquent opponent was doomed to failure.

And other factors such as Bush's low approval rating, changing demographics, and the fact that it is very difficult for a party to retain the WH three elections in a row would have made it difficult for any Rep in 2008. The Dems were on a roll having regained Congress in 2006. Their base was much more energized and committed and they had a huge financial advantage. And the MSM was more overtly biased than usual.

Stop the finger pointing and remonstrations and get engaged now, especially at the primary level so we can root out the RINOs who have run this party since 1988.
