CHARLOTTE - Even by President Obama's loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy.
Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a "wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care" package.
"We are over-taxed as it is," Doris said bluntly.
Obama started out feisty. "Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have," the president said.
He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze. His discursive answer - more than 2,500 words long -- wandered from topic to topic, including commentary on the deficit, pay-as-you-go rules passed by Congress, Congressional Budget Office reports on Medicare waste, COBRA coverage, the Recovery Act and Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (he referred to this last item by its inside-the-Beltway name, "F-Map"). He talked about the notion of eliminating foreign aid (not worth it, he said). He invoked Warren Buffett, earmarks and the payroll tax that funds Medicare (referring to it, in fluent Washington lingo, as "FICA").

Great photo!
I bet the kid is better at math than her liberal moron of a mother.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
and she’s trying to figure out how SHE is going to pay for all the crap Dear Leader is doing!
Typical of high government officials, this idiot is so surrounded by yes-men that he has no clue how far in the weeds he is. He’s going to explain to those of us who work for a living how it is for those of us that work for a living? I guess I’m not a good citizen because I’m not grateful for having my wealth redistributed to the serially unemployed. (Before Hussein stepped in and killed the economy, a person with a pulse could get a job. Until this year, it was never “can’t get a job”, it was “won’t get a job.” More of that change you can use (in the soup line).)
This clown hasn’t earned anything he’s gotten it 20 years. It started with his schooling being paid-in-full by a radical muslim and a parade of easy jobs where the only requirement was to show up and sound smart in front of fellow communist delusionals, most of whom get high and drunk every night. Most of them think the movie “Half-Baked” is a documentary.
I'm not sure of the origin - it's just an old saying that I've heard since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

Getting sentimental in my old age...Good memories.....
Trivial? No, not to me, not in the least. I too was raised on a farm and I've walked behind many-a hay wagon, both empty and full and I know the difference just by the sound.
We farm folk also easily recognize B.S. (we've stepped in enough of it) - and this usurping Zerø character is a nuclear powered manure spreader!
Anything, and everything that proceeds from his mouth is pure b.s.!
But they will never know what true imagination and real freedom to roam and explore the land and woods with their friends. To turn old barns into castles or pirate ships one day and German fortifications the next.
Sure we had to work before we had time for entertainment. We ate all the “bad food” fried chicken and eggs, beef, and ham, bacon and sausage, loaded with salt and/or smoked to preserve it. But without knowing it,working hard and playing harder, we kept in shape and didn't need expensive gym fees and equipment or the latest fad diet plans.
We didn't have alot of money but we were truly “rich’....
