Did WalMart agree to take one Guantanamo prisoner?

There’s another meeting on Tuesday with a bunch of people I wonder if it’s related?...

LOL...good one!

[upsdriver]

Consider for just one moment what a war involving China might mean on our domestic front. Heck ...we couldn’t even get cat food!

Looks like a good time to market my cookbook of cat recipes.

It would be well advised for Obama to attend the summit on financial literacy...as a student. He might learn something.

Please see my #20. I was responding to the “Wal-Mart is ebil” crowd.

[Hodar]

Sorry.
Didn’t realize you were being sarcastic. I think that Walmart actually does very well for it’s employees. I’d like to see how a Libtard champion, like Barnes and Nobel compares.

[1rudeboy]

I have yet to meet a surly employee at my local Wal-Mart. The employees at my local Barnes & Noble are pricks.

"The White House didn’t release details of the meeting, which is closed to the news media."

Never fear. Wikileaks will release the redacted (politically correct/WH sanctioned) version soon.

[upsdriver]

No kidding, Obama and his whole administration haven’t a clue on how a free economy works.

[ColdOne]

Wow that is interesting to say the least.

[Doulos1]

Do you spell shake down as one word or two?

[bert]

Is that Bad?

America loves the stuff except for a few malcontents here and there.

[upchuck]

How come they didn’t put Dave Ramsey on that council?

/s

[EBH]

If we’re going to war with them is sure as heck is.

[grey_whiskers]

I can only assume that whatever they’ll announce after the meeting is already planned out—or they wouldn’t have made the meeting public news.

Have you forgotten the Chicago Olympics or the Trade Deal with South Korea during the G20 meetings?

Cheers!

[bert]

surely you joke. There will be no war with China

There will be civil war here before war with China

I can only assume that whatever they’ll announce after the meeting is already planned out—or they wouldn’t have made the meeting public news.

I'm sure it will work as well as the Copenhagen 2016 Olympics announcement...
