"So much for getting back into geology."

Or as I am fond of saying, "So much for getting back into geology...again".

I agree. The problem I see is that Obama is moving on his marxist plan so fast, it is hard for any one person to keep up with!

Can’t wait until Rush gets back next week! I hate it when he is gone...lol.

We are going to have a lot of new friends as Obama continues to unfold his glorious grand design.

You're right, but damn, we're gonna be in a world of hurt when that time comes.....and this is just the first two weeks, just UFB

This is not ‘European socialism’ we are staring in the face of Obama though. It is MARXISM!! ‘Socialism’ sounds so quaint and harmless though, doesn’t it?

I don’t believe that. Yes, a good number do but I would estimate it not to be above 40%, if that. As for the other 13% who voted for Obama or 3rd parties I would attribute it to:

1) McCain’s past positions on immigration and McCain-Feingold and the gang of 14 caused many conservatives to vote Obama, sit out the election or go 3rd party

2)the financial meltdown and/or McCain not appearing competent at the time and/or voting for the bailout

3)Reagan Democrats and Catholics usually vote on pocketbook issues in bad economic times

4)a higher percentage of black voters voted period because of Obama on the Democratic ticket

5)Bush Derangement Syndrome because of Iraq

6) the MSM being in the tank for Obama

FDR wasn’t so stupid as to tell oil companies to stop drilling. Obama owes his soul to the environmentalists.

This is payback to white, Republican Utah. These leases aren’t in the parks, they are just “near” them.

Unfortunately it is...if you've got Hussein's’ agenda....which in my humble opinion is and has been from the beginning, to destroy our economy, destroy the middle class, destroy our independence, redistribute the wealth, and continue what has been done in the schools the past 25..30 years...fill our next generations with Socialist,Commie, Marxist propaganda...in other words...make the very foundation of our economy...capitalism...the villain...and turn our poor, dear, beloved nation into a Socialist pit, if not worse.

It's time we tell the Administration and the Democrats in general,” WE ARE MAD AS YOU KNOW WHAT, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE.”
We’ve got to stand up,keep calling our Senators and Congressmen...this is America, and darn it , if that guy in the white house doesn't like her the way she is...let him go back to Kenya and see how he likes life there....and when he goes, he can take that bunch of loony toons...the rabid Dims...as in Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the hypocrites.

“Utah is a red red red state. Can’t let their economy flourish. Time to start knocking out their jobs.”

You’d have to knock out an awful lot of jobs to get Utah down to the level of some States run by Democrats.

I guess so, the contract probably has default clauses.

Duh, slap me upside the head. For a moment, I thought I was living in reality. Sorry, I had a moment of rationality.
