And the sad part is we have not begun to feel the pain of his actions.

I “sturggle” with a lot of things...often while on the throne.

And yet there are BILLIONS and BILLIONS for the
Moslem Brotherhood and Mosques worldwide, and
MANPADS for al Qaeda, and rockets for Hezbollah,
and rockets for Hamas, and weapons for terrorists
at the US border.

Yeah but there are many more Americans on welfare that don’t need to hold a job to survive now. Millions more have free cell phones with plans that we working folks can’t afford. There are also tens of millions of illegals free to drive and carry on as citizens. So, it’s not all bad news for the shiftless and lazy millions.

The amazing thing is no one says a damn thing about it. He is blameless. Maybe it is just the necessary sacrifice for the second half black president.

Wow...that is a stunning figure. 80% of US adults.... I knew things were bad, but somehow 80% of adults? Wow!

well, that’s three things.

Joblessness
Near Poverty, OR
Reliance on Welfare

So 80% starts looking a LOT less amazing when you think of how many people are unemployed for some period of time in their adult lives.

The first time you get laid off, it is the most frightening thing imaginable. The second time is a lot less frightening. The third time, it’s “ho-hum, here we go again.” Speaking from personal experience, here. Working for very small companies has a lot of risks.
