Proles ain't paying enough for their gasoline.
Maybe 0Muslim could push another direct tax - "Obamaroads".
And have the IRS collect another unconstitutional "Individual Shared Transportation Responsibility Payment" at gunpoint...
We finally get oil down to gas prices that you can afford to get just a little bit of breath, and he wants to screw you out of that little bit. To any and all who voted for this jerk, you can KMA!
Yep...I’m under no illusion that all is dandy. I sometimes wonder how we’ve been able to operate as we are.
He does NOT have the AUTHORITY!!!!
What’s he going to do?
Sign an XO directing the IRS to bill oil companies?
You win by fighting, not quitting.
The Republicans are the ones that quit.
The little weenie really knows how to waterboard us!

what a pathetic failure

and on top of it all
A TRAITOR

Stimulus II. Another trillion$ or two... What difference does it make?

Guess the magic Negro's RICO conspirators must be running out of cash!

Seriously!
If, and only if, we first get...
...A FULL ACCOUNTING OF STIMULUS 1...
...which presumably was earmarked for the identically same infrastructure
Little did we know he meant the First Wookie's!
If this marginally sane idiot just "forgot" or not, to my knowlege he never did so.
And then there's his constant race baiting...
If Biden thinks he has a prayer of replacing Cankles as presidential candidate for 2016, he is grossly delusional as well as crazy.
I'm stocking up on popcorn.
If Paul Ryan goes along with this he needs to be replaced.
don’t disrespect pugsly.
I mean Eddie
