    C'mon, Ex!!

    The left wing media LOVED Bush??

    Don't try to hand me that shovelful. I watched the news, and starting BEFORE the 2000 election, the left wing media started bashing Bush and hasn't stopped even now.

    That MJ is making you senile.

    Hello again, gal:

    It's true. If the media wasn't in his pocket, he NEVER could have passed the Patriot Act, and he NEVER could have invaded Iraq.

    PS> Here's a newsflash. The mainstream media is DEAD. Newspapers are going broke, and the networks are shills for the corporations that own them. The only news today is in the blogasphere.

    People need to realize that Obama is not a messiah, but a human being and a politician who is not perfect. Everyone has flaws. I'm no liberal, but my stocks have gone up since he was elected so I'm not going to complain about him as long as the economy recovers. Politicians from both parties need to realize that they will have to both cut spending and possibly raise taxes to get the huge deficit under control even though the right choices won't be popular.

    I voted for Bush. I don't know what would have happened if it had gone the other way. Anyone have any ideas how that would have worked out? I didn't want to vote for Bush but it was the lesser of two evils.

    People in this country give their vote the prettiest face, or the person with the gift for gab. If people actually voted on issues and record, Nobama would have never gotten out of the IL house. Consider that idiot alfranken that IL just elected? Can anything be more ludicrous?

    Um, Senator Franken represents MN, not IL. (Glad you are up on your current events.)

    If they voted for the prettiest face Palin and co. would have got in. Then you would be up sh1t creek.

    And this report from the Heritage Foundation.

    Democrat representative Peter DeFazio who disagreed with Obama's spending plan was told by the president "Don't think we're not keeping score, brother"

    That sounds like Mafia SOP to me.

    Gal,
    It was a joke. Everybody in the room laughed. You wanted to see a mob connection because that's what you want to see. Put down the hatred a second OK?

    I just looked it up, and the count given for the number of Obama czars was 18, at the time that report was written.

    We should all be concerned about this.

    These czars are appointed by the president and answer ONLY to the president. Not to Congress or the people.

    There is NO BASIS IN THE CONSTITUTION FOR SUCH OFFICES.

    In this set up, all those reigns lead directly to the Oval Office.

    Does the fact that this is the organizational map used by Communism and dictatorships disturb you?

    How long are we going to let this stand?

    Nice non-sequiter!

    So you DO agree that these appointmants are unconstitutional, right?

    And extremely dangerous, right?

    Do YOU think Obama (or anyone else for that matter) should be allowed to get away with this?

    Politically, what label would you personally hang on him?

    Hello again, gal:

    He's a liberal who believes the government is the solution to our problems. Do I believe he needs to be stopped?? Only when continuing the illegal programs started by Bush.
