My grandmom is 87 and uses her Ipod I bought her 2 years ago everyday when she goes for her walks. She even downloads music from Itunes.
It is a real shame that you are so ignorant about things. Seniors can't work technology, people don't get paid the same because they can't negotiate salaries, hybrids get plugged in.

Hi, Bobby, long time no speak.
The question is what he DID, not what he didn't do.Quote:

You mean like the $26 billion he handed GM in February with no strings attached? You mean that oversite?Quote:

That's not something Obama did. That's something being done DESPITE Obama.Quote:

And in doing so, he's bankrupting Social Security for future generations. Brilliant.Quote:

Great... so now more people who can't afford houses are going to buy them anyway. Isn't incentivizing home ownership for people who can't afford them what got us into this mess in the first place?Quote:

That has yet to be seen. If he turns out to be as miserable a President as I think he is going to be, it may very well end the chances of any other African Americans being elected for decades to come.Quote:

Like giving the UAW 40 percent ownership of GM and the feds taking half for themselves?Quote:

Yes, Obama debunks the myth that in America only rich white men have power. There is no longer "the man" to blame. :rolleyes:
It does give hope to the ever increasing number of children raised in single parent homes :)

BTW it's not your first home purchased ever under the program guidelines, which seems to be a common misunderstanding that much of the public believes. Actually first time home buyers is defined as not having owned a home in the past three years and your income under a certain amount. I forget the exact number. Fortunately for myself I sold my home approx four years ago. So a purchase over 80K gives a credit of 8K, and anything less is 10 percent. In other words, if you found a great deal and you agreed to purchase a condo, lets say for 70K, and haven't owned a single home dwelling in the past three years then you qualify for 7K.

Completely wrong Elliot. In fact she had already previously bought an iPod at the urging of her son Andrew. In fact the Queen loves the iPod and "was impressed by how small and handy the iPod is".Quote:

Barack Obama gives the Queen an iPod - Articles - MP3 Players - Digital Life
Well besides giving the queen a new iPod and DVD's in the wrong format to the British PM, failing to get more combat troops from NATO for Afghanistan, watching as the Taliban moves within 70 miles of Islamabad and the Norks launch a long-range missile, telling the Europeans we don't understand multiparty democracy, giving the Russians an embarrassingly mislabeled "reset" button, bowing to the Saudi king and hoping Ortega wouldn't blame him for things that happened when he was 3 years old during his worldwide apology tour, Obama's foreign policy is off to a booming start in his first 100 days. They've even managed to visit the country of Texas.

Looking at the dates it might be the other way around. Maybe Texas can eventually become the 59th state of Obamaland?Quote:

- A DHS concerned with "right-wing" extremists like soldiers

- The coming Orwellian "mandatory" volunteerism

- An administration pushing a phase 5 panic over something milder than the average winter flu that's affecting .0003 percent of the population thus far
- An administration frightening people about riding subways and airplanes
- A media asking the tough questions like "What is it about the office that’s “enchanted” you?"
Yep, things sure have changed.
Think about it... who names their dog after themselves??

News-Leader.com | Springfield Blogs - Inside Missouri Politics | Springfield News-LeaderQuote:
The Social Security Administration is sending out $250 payments to more than 50 million retirees in May as part of the economic stimulus package. The payments will go to people who receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, railroad retirement benefits or veteran's disability benefits.
The payments are meant to provide a boost for people who don't qualify for the tax credit. However, they will go to retirees even if they have earned income and receive the credit. Those retirees will have the $250 payment deducted from their tax credit -- but not until they file their tax returns next year, long after the money may have been spent.
Is this real? That's friggin hilarious.Quote:

I can't imagine why State would want to scrub that mistake from their website.
Website typos happen all the time. I fix them as part of my job. Is that what you are laughing at? You need very little to amuse yourself.
No. What we're laughing at is the fact that the so-called "smartest administration" has a STATE DEPARTMENT that mistakes Texas for a foreign country. The "smartest administration" seems to be pretty stupid if they can call the second largest state of the USA (in terms of land mass AND population), the one that the prior President comes from, a foreign country. We're not laughing at them fixing it. We're laughing at the fact that they made the mistake in the first place. Fixing it was a GOOD thing.Quote:

I'm not saying that Obama is planning on killing anyone or using force to get his way (at least not yet). But his idea of unification is to get rid of the opposition, which makes him no different from any other despotic "unifier".

Another problem is you guys think "unifier" means adopting at least SOME of your totally repudiated right wing viewpoints... I have NO idea where you dreamed THAT up.
What "unifier" means in the REAL world, is that Obama has politely invited your side to "unify" itself with the correct side. Of course, your side said no. That's why it's disintegrating.
