Obama needs to ponder this from Bush:

"Either you are with us or you are for the terrorists."
~~George W. Bush

OBAMA JUST SAID HE WILL JACK UP TAXES!!!!!!!!!

[Woebama]

I miss Reagan.

[MAexile]

The smartest President ever seems like he is about two sigmas below the median. How can this be?

Only txwo?

e.g., - one shaky schoolhouse means we should spend billions building new state of the art schools.

Not just spend the money, but SPEND THE MONEY TODAY OR THE SUN WILL EXPLODE AND WE WILL ALL DIE!!!!!!!

Forget the noisy train. I remember times when we had to stop class and the teacher told us to read quietly for a few minutes when the B-52s reved up their engines about a half mile away.

[SpaceBar]

We are being sold into slavery.

[Carley]

Mayor Daley has refused to release his wish list for the stimulus funds.

[MamaLucci]

4 or 5 Questions? I think just 4

[AU72]

WTF do you call 400 million for ACORN?

4 billion less than they will actually get.

[LA Woman3]

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Looney tunes!

[hugorand]

“Believe me, I’d love not to have to spend money right now, $800 billion”

This could be Rush’s audio sound byte #1 tomorrow

[Cinnamontea]

My sister,a Wisconsin Dem, thinks Obama “is brilliant.”

Oh my God, that's sad. Obama is truly a moron. Listen to him ramble. Not a clear sentence coming out of his mouth . . . which means not a clear thought in his head. He is truly an idiot.

[newnhdad]

If he actually answered a question, they would be able to hold it against him later..
Create or save 4mil jobs? How do you measure this?

[Starfleet Command]

So... ummm... whats the Barf count at now?

[pabianice]

"... the excesses on Wall Styreet led to this crisis and then people couldn't make payroll and laid-off people and that led to this crisis even though consumer spending helped for a while but this is unsustainable and foreugners will no longer lend is money and so the immediate job is to stop the downward spiral and this means putting money in peoples' pockets and that, by the way, is important even if you are fiscal conservative and even if there are no tax revenues because people have lost their jobs this will put an enormouis strain on the federal and state governments and so we have to stop the economy from tanking and this notion that I came in here to to gin-up a $800B bill means that as soon as popssible the mid-term and long-term budget is addresses while people who are worried about their mortgage payments become less fearful and then we can decide how to work more prudently and so if you want to buy a house that you can't afford we have to reform our bad habits..."

[Savagemom]

>>>How many schools with state of the art science labs are going to be built under this project...who gets them..

And once we have them, perhaps we will have to eliminate the religious and homeschools because they won’t get any of these resources and will be so inferior in comparison...

[Shortstop7]

I thought I heard “ginned up”...does that mean drunk??

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

LOL!!!!

the problem is BAD HABITS.!!!!

what is with all these new reporters, all young girls about 24 yrs old?

[silentreignofheroes]

I can’t wait to get a job to make my money,that I’ve already made.
