CBO: Eight Years of Iraq War Cost Less Than Stimulus Act

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

iF HE KEEPS UP THESE ‘talks” I may lose weight I need to...by throwing up my food...Kind of a “OBAMA-BULIMIA!!”

[LA Woman3]

Did you see he blew off our Governor again today?

No, really? Did Perry meet him at the airport again?

[maggief]

Absolute BS spin. His demeanor, IMO, was smug.

[Robwin]

This is a campaign speech and nothing more.

Precisely. It was a disgrace.

[Mr. Wright]

Miss Edmunds just drew a 7 of clubs - - wow this Champioship Canasta is exciting!! They have incorporated “replay”
commentary on the exciting hands — where will this end?

[MAKOTHEDOG]

I have been eating this whole time. It hasn’t been easy :-)

[ladyvet]

What a d*ckhead. “Bush loved the troops but his damn war got us into this economic mess and ruined the middle class...not my fault."

[caww]

How boring was that! Sheesh....no victory speech here...not even close.

[McLynnan]

ROFL, maybe I should rephrase that. He refused to meet with Governor Perry again.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“A better life awaits anyone who is willing to work vacation for it..”

There, now it's correct.

[Severa]

I wonder though if it’s not really him, just a shitty microphone/audio system...

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Why is the American flag so wrinkled?

Been in storage for nearly two years!

Can't remember an oval office speech ever having a complete family photo gallery behind a President!

[mewzilla]

The CBO just proved Barry a liar.

[combat_boots]

Yeah I can imagine what he told him on the phone, let me guess “I WON” was probably the first two words out of his trap

Nah, more like the guy leaving a note on the car he just hit: "I hit your car and people are watching me leave this note but don't expect me to identify myself, I'm just going through the motions. Have a nice day.:

[ColdOne]

I though his hair looked different!
