Go get 'em Barry!!!!!!!

Oreo? Really! Congratulations fhill, for demonstrating why the right wing hates their President.

You just can't make this stuff up.

So many of us are running on emotion and on the ignorance of previous generations. It breaks the heart. I am also a businessman who has built everything I have from the ground up. My choice. In this country, we have those options and the freedom to pursue them. There is no guarantee of anything... not even another 10 minutes alive. Live your life, people and stop giving credit to or blaming our representatives. We are the people. The only significant change will always come from us, not from legislation.

I am also a veteran of 13 years active duty in the Marine Corps. Also my choice to serve and to protect our way of life. I didn't determine how that was to be done... and we, the people don't determine what happens on capital hill and in the press because we don't hold our local representatives' collective feet to the fire in how they vote for us. Only about 6% of all Americans even show up to vote at our local elections that determine HOW WE LIVE in our communities. The only choice we all have is how we react to what "the puppet theatre" puts on the tube and in our heads. Settle down and just get to work. You'll feel better.

That said... I have put myself in harm's way for this country and I think I have a say... all you haters can shut it. He's our President. While I would die in defense of your ignorant, bigoted viewpoint of ALL of us ( the First Amendment), I also think you and people like you are the bane of our existance and are the only reason we are still stuck in 1865.

I hope the next 4 years sees Obama feel free to move a bit to the left. Eveytime he signed the parts of the Patriot Act that came up for renewal, he justified the atrocities of Bush/Cheney. It was a shame to see actions justified by his supporters move further and further to the right, whether it be drone warfare or his embracing of the 1989 Heritage Foundations alternative to single-payer. Maybe he simply held his Leftist tendencies at bay until he got a second term. I truly hope that is the case.

Look, this is really simple.

If we want to have all of these 'free' services from the government, then PAY FOR IT.

We are currently spending about $3.8 Trillion per year, and we are taking in about $2.7 Trillion per year, which leaves a Deficit of about $1.1 Trillion per year. If we want to keep spending at that level - THEN PAY FOR IT, and then the real cost of government will not be hidden with borrowed money - sending the bill to our children and grandchildren. It's GROSSLY UNFAIR to hide the real cost of current spending with 'Borrowed Money'. It doesn't work with our personal finances, and it doesn't work with the government (just ask Greece).

It will cost the average family of 4 about $14,000 per year in new taxes ($1,165 per month) to finance the current extra spending, but hey - if that's what you want, THEN PAY FOR IT.

ozzie, you need to read the first post from Mary Joe. That fool said obama don't care about White Males. I'm mean really!! he don't care about White Males. How many cabinet members are White Males in his adminstration.

Point proven ozzie..

Middle-Aged White Guy - first, thank you for your service. Second, thank you for a thoughtful and well written post. As true Americans we should all come together and work for the good of our country - standing behind the man we have elected as President. And, true Americans do just that!

Here are the total Deficit figures for all fiscal years in office for recent Presidents;

Reagan (1980 - 1988) = $1.338 Trillion

Bush 1 (1989 - 1992) = $933 Billion

Clinton (1993 - 2000) = $320 Billion

Bush 2 = (2001 - 2008) = $2.006 Trillion

Obama (2009 Proj. thru 2016) = $7.923 Trillion, nearly 4 times as much as Bush 2.

Congratulations Mr. President!

To both Houses of Congress I say, PLEASE put aside the partisan politics that has been the REAL divider of this country. Work with this President, and I can pretty much guarantee he'll work with you.

CLIMATE CHANGED 20THIRTEEN

President Barack Hussein Obama has made it known to all the citizens of planet Earth, that the climate will change, for the better. Like the president's mother before him, President Obama calls on all teenagers in 2013, to show concern when something goes wrong in the world.

We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to
ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate
change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future
generations. President Barack Hussein Obama, 20Thirteen

Such a sad day to be an American. No hope, Nothing to look foward to. If you succeed your greedy. Divisiveness rules the day. Higher taxes are imminent. The slow destruction of America not paying it's bills. Middle class being destroyed by THIS President. $4,000.00 less in median income under the budget-less Obama. All talk and pander, no leadership! 4 more years of talk.Thats it.

Damn seeking there you go again. geo didn't mention anything about the Presidents appearance but you have to inject it, truly sad. What can you not understand about some people not liking his policies (or lack there of) and could care less what skin color he has? It is you on the left that are infatuated with what color he is period!

"Romney, the erstwhile GOP nominee, spent Inauguration Day at his home in La Jolla, Calif., and a former aide told NBC News it was unlikely that the former Massachusetts governor would watch today's festivities"

Man...if that just doesn't say it all about today's GOP circa their most recently voted "leader". Nice to know the bum doesn't have the ability to speak for himself that he doesn't give a damn about the Country, let alone lending his alleged skill set to aiding the President in moving the Country forward.

"As a white male small business owner who has worked hard to earn the success and wealth I have, I could not disagree with your statement. This President has shown he does not care about me, or those like me (white, male, sucessful, wealthy, hard working, etc)..."

So, you're a "white male" eh, Mary Joe?

If you're so "successful" then why the heck are you btching so much?

The President does't care about YOU? YOU who demands "less goverment" and wants no government intrusion into your life.

Sounds like one big lie to me, starting off with "Hi, my name is Mary Joe and I'm a white male"!

I don't see where it says that, but if no Republicans wanted to go, I'm sure that's was ok with everyone who did go.

Republicans these days have a bad mouth and a lousy attitude.

American Girl why don't you want less government? Do you particularly like government intrusion?

To all my friends on here - Congratulations one and all! It was a great and inspiring speech and I couldn't be more proud.

To all of you haters - kiss my butt! If your attitude up to now says anything, it says you are going to have a miserable next 4 years.

pretty tough to take anything that maryjoe says seriously with a user name like that.

I'm glad this country is headed in the right direction; with emphasis on education and innovation rather than religion and corporation.

Mary Joe Kopechne,

Wait, you're a guy? What the. Did you accidentally sing on under your wife's account. Anyway, the notion that Obama doesn't care about small business is one sold by your conservative media. Neither Obama nor any liberal would ever take issue with small successful business. I'm not sure why you mention you're race. Maybe his race is important to you. I dunno. Either way, libs have a problem with big business - the same folk who would crush yours with unfair practices - and we're baffled as to why you think what they do is okay. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Any small business person who votes Republican is just putting themselves at a further disadvantage to big businesses predatory practices.

EPIC FAIL !!!

Hey Mitch McConnell are you feeling pretty stupid and small today?

"Our sole mission is to make Barack Obama a one term president"

What an utter out of touch dope!

Way to Mr President!

Where did all these comments come from? Afterall, this was not posted here 56 minutes ago( according to MSNBC).

What kind of game is MSNBC playing? I even mentioned on an earlier article that you couldn't even comment on the major stories, because MSNBC likes to block the bad comments about the President, so that the good comments are mentioned first.

Look here:

Can we just celebrate this glorious day?

The government of our country has just been transferred again. Peacefully. Without a coup. Without a war. We did it with pomp and circumstance. We did it to the accompaniment of stirring music and great performances.

Leave your petty observations and your disagreements for another day.

Today, we celebrate!

Obama challenges US to live up to founding principles.

That's funny, I would have thought it would be the other way around?

Hmmmmm, interesting position Mike.

So, you Libbies have a problem with big business?

The same big business that you support unions to control? The same unions that demand overpriced wages, benefits and legacy costs that small business can’t compete against and subsequently have to shut down or be victims of hostile takeovers?

So, if you’re against big business you must be against unions, right?

Or does that expose your dysfunctional thinking and hypocrisy?

Try to keep up Spanky.

Sad day for America and it's people. His liberal agenda is alive and well and it will be more of the same.

He has no intentions of working with Congress and will continue to rely on the rhetoric and backing of the liberal left, Democrats and the news media to have it his way.

It's hypocritical for the Nation to ask guidance from God and a president that openly expresses his views of marriage and abortions in a way that goes against the teachings of God's word.

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Chris - JimSpence is a little man with no ability to acheive anything so he downs a great man who makes him look like the loser he appears to be. Ignore him - he's not worth the effort. He can't wrap his small mind around the fact that most of us are in big business and have no problem with it!

kkwilson - you and your ilk prove daily that you don't believe in God or any of his teachings - yet you spout off about it. So sad - so hypocritical!

geo - as usual you prove that requirements to be Republican include being crude and classless as well as having no knowledge of anything. Our President is not killing inner-city children, nor is the Democratic party. You can't face the truth that Republicans would gladly annihilate anyone who doesn't look just like them and spew the hatred they spew every day - if they had the chance.

Now, crawl back under your rock - your skin is beginning to crack!

You should not give advice that you aren't willing to take yourself. Honestly, you must be looking in the mirror every time you jump on here to whine and cry about others because everything you bitch about could easily be turned around and applied to yourself.

WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY, WE ARE A REPUBLIC.....

Does anyone else understand that? Not that our leaders fully understand.

There also seem to be a lot of misguided and misinformed people that think that this administration actually cares about them.... that would be true if you are on the receiving end of the handouts. For those of us that are actually PAYING for them, I don't think so.

( Hi Feisty n Friends >:o): )

Ozzie: I think we all would like a bit less government, starting with getting to $%^&* out of our bedrooms and our doctors' offices. If you think forcing, FORCING, a woman who has made a totally legal choice to have a transvaginal ultrasound (as has Virginia in recent days ) is less government, then I think you need to sue the school district you attended, because they didn't teach you very well.

Forcing women to have a transvaginal ultrasound is the action of a dictatorship, not a free people, and is the epitome of government intrusion. And in Virginia, of all places, the cradle of democracy!

So I'll take the level of government we have, that one that ensures there are not rat parts in my sausage; that food is prepared in sanitary conditions; that levels the playing field for all citizens (well, the Republicans kinda have reduced that one with their "trickle up" economics from which we still suffer); that planes do not fly into one another; that sensible traffic laws exist on the ground; that saves and leverages my money contributed to Social Security, and Medicare, so they are there now that I need them; and that keeps the air from being so polluted that I can't breathe (as opposed to China, where you can't see across the street because of the pollution); that funds the Coast Guard for safety on the water; that funds the military (to excess, but I'm not going into all the wasteful spending that Republicans insist on so they can get rich) in order to defend us; that funds the State Depoartment so that we can try diplomacy before shooting the he!! out of some small country; that fund the Department of Agriculture so we can be fed; I could do on, but you get the idea (perhaps).

Go live in your fantasy world, Ozzie, and take your guns with you. Good riddance. The rest of us are willing to work together to make it work for ALL of us, not just the privileged few, to whom you seem to think you belong. As they say, "If you aren't part of the solution, then you're part of the problem."

Today isn't a beautiful day. It's a national tragedy. The inaguration of a failed president who stole an election just to push his third world socailist agenda. The real numbers dont lie. Look 'em up.

You're right about one thing: The real numbers don't lie. And I looked 'em up:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2012

President Obama got 51.1% of the vote. Romney got 47.2% (ironically, given the contempt for 47% of the American people he expressed when he thought only his fellow fact cat corporate welfare recipients were listening).

Obama's speech was excellent. I'd say it would driven the rabid Obama haters crazy, but they were crazy to begin with.

BTW: It WAS a beautiful day.

To praysalot... I'm not sure what to say to that. It seems to be a little severe to me. I'll pray for you.

Ah, Jim, just couldn't miss the chance to sneak in a bit of racism under the guise of attempting wit could you? But i'm sure you'll try to deny it by saying you were referring to them all being unemployed and not because the majority of the crowd were black.

Racism?

Where did I mention race?

You sneaky little limp-wristed Libbie, you think I implied that they were all black didn't you? It's always amusing to read your Liberal/Progressive blatherings about your alleged "rainbow" mentality but in reality you only see things in black and white.

As my post is obviously above your ability to grasp its meaning, lemme 'splain it to you.

You see, I was commenting on the fact that they were most likely predominantly Liberals/Progressives. We all know your record as far as gainful employment is concerned, don't we Chrissy? Especially when you can just skip out to go to an inauguration to show your "patriotism", right? I'm surprised your EBT cards work for bus fare all the way from Yucaipa to D.C.

I'm sure you're well versed in racism aren't you Chrissy? Does Yucaipa have more than 1.5% blacks in your demographic yet? You're just another Liberal/Progressive wannabe who projects your racism on everyone else. Just like you voted for Barrack Hussein the first time to pretend you're not a racist you further confounded the situation by proving your ignorance by voting for him again.

It must be so difficult hiding your hypoChrissy, isn't it Chrissy?

Now go back to albino Yucaipa and stop bothering the adults, we'll call you up from the basement when we need another good laugh.

Well, Markenpecker, I got alot more votes up than you,nananana!!

Jack Kennedy said "ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

With Obama, it has changed to "Elect me, and the government will give you lots of free stuff, and ask nothing in return".

Odd. I didn't hear President Obama say anything like that in his inaugural address. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. Or maybe you're just a lying deranged jerk. Have fun stewing in your seething hatred for four years. Cheers.

It feels good to have a strong leader like President Obama in office. I never cease to be amazed at the grace and dignity he shows in the face of such hate and criticism from the GOP and Tea Party.

Congratulations and well done, Mr. President. I only wish we could elect you for a third term.

(And btw, I noticed that Eric Cantor showed up for the Inauguration this time. Four years ago on Inauguration Day he skipped out because he was behind closed doors in a secret meeting with Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan, and others from the GOP mafia planning on how to make sure the new President only served one term. LOL! Guess that didn't work out as they planned.)

The people have won a President and lost the Greatest Nation on Earth to Socialism. All you liberal should be proud of the beginning downfall of this Nation. Although a large number of liberals are people that are Naturalized citizen not even born here.

Houston!

Odd. I didn't hear President Obama say anything like that in his inaugural address. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.

No one is suggesting that he is stupid enough to come out and actually say it. Since when do ANY politicians EVER say what they really mean?

Did anyone notice that Obama left hand was burning when he was touching the Bible.

Actually, I would like to have the GOP's input and have the voices of Republican Americans represented in our nation's policy, but unfortunately, the Party of NO is unwilling to compromise on little if anything, and would rather see our country divided and at odds if it cannot have everything the GOP/Tea Party way.

SeekingSanity

Backcountry - I rest my case.

Of course you do. It's painfully obvious that you ALWAYS see exactly what you want to see.

Yeah sure, a 'call to unity' from the most racist, devisive, anti-american president in the history of this country. No thanks Obama ,you hypocrit.

newday dont make comments on which you know not of! if you knew of the term and who uses it you might have a clue!

Pigotry's quote "Senior administration officials and others close to Obama say they have learned lessons from the first term, namely about the need to better convince Americans of the need for specific change, whether it is gun control or immigration revisions that top his near-term agenda. So more than just trying to cut deals with Congress, Obama has increasingly made his case to the American people first"

So what, where the hell is the JOBS he talked about, but did nothing about even when he held both houses of Congress till 1 / 2010?, despite adding 6 trillion to our deficit. Obama quote 2007 "if elected I will cut the deficit in half", well his nose is now a pole vault pole. Like Bob Woodward said, he doesn't know how to govern, all talking points, no ability to shape a damn thing. This guy is an introvert, a supposedly smart nerd, nothing more than a man who talks a big game, but produces squat. He is a total letdown, and he is not as popular as you people think, travel overseas for a few months and take it all in, they hate Obama overseas. He has pissed off everyone in Europe big time. The day he "liked" the arab spring is a turning point to a disaster that awaits us down the road, you just wait because it is coming.

publia

So I'll take the level of government we have, that one that ensures...

LOL! Despite it's best efforts (and all the money we give them) the government doesn't "ensure" ANY of those things (or even comes close in most of your examples) so who exaclty is it that's living in the fantasy world???

The day after the election, Steven Colbert in his guise as a blowhard wingnut pundit, slouched in his chair in a big fuzzy bathrobe eating junk food snacks and not saying a word until a Comedy Central lawyer showed up to warn him that poor Steven was still contractually obligated to do the Colbert Show, even though he'd lost his will to live. I wonder how many REAL wingnuts will be sitting in their own fuzzy bathrobes for the next four years, bestirring themselves occasionally only to pound on their keyboards to spew their impotent rage into cyberspace against the imaginary Barack Obama that exists only in their fevered brains. Judging from some of the comments above, that's what they'll be doing.

JCB,

Actually, the President is quite popular overseas, especially in Europe.

It was Bush they did not like. He was considered a warmonger.

And Romney did not make a good impression when he traveled abroad either. (Except I suppose with the big corporate CEO's that do business with him when he sends USA jobs overseas.)

No one is suggesting that he is stupid enough to come out and actually say it.

But some people are stupid enough to believe all the hateful lies spewed at the president.

Oh HAPPY DAY.

I will admit, President Obama made one critical mistake in his first term; he believed the party of "No", the Republicans, the GOP, would actually care more about, the American people, than their greedy, selfish agenda, to make him a "one term president. And that is the ONLY goal, the Republicans had in mind.

President Obama will turn this country around because his plans have been given the go-ahead, by the majority of Americans. He was elected President of the United States even though, the Republicans had more money, told more lies, and wasted his time on juvenile antics. Republicans do not want to admit, President Obama, won the election because we believe in him.

So, get ready, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, you are the ones, who will be "one last term politicians." Not because of wealthy, powerful white guys, who want, to buy you another term but, you will be ousted, by middle class Americans, who know were your loyalties lie. You are narrow minded gun toting, rich people, who have never worked a day, in their lives. The next election, will be about cleaning house and ridding our Congress, of professional thieves, who may wear suits but actually, feel more comfortable in a white hood and carry a torch and gun.

Thank God for President and Mrs. Obama

Thank God for Vice President and Mrs. Biden.

Mostly, thank God for those of us, who voted for the future of our country.

"Our Journey is not Complete".

Does he want a Third Term to complete this Journey?---It never started!

A President who keeps himself away from the General Public, other Foreign Countries, never reaching over to the GOP ever dealing w/them, and Isolationalism will never be complete.

Salute!---Raise your cup of wine, and HOPE there is CHANGE---Did he like ex Pres. Clinton, come to the center--will he---and deal directly with all peoples', truly getting involved w/Foreign/Domestic Issues.

What will Pres. Obama's Legacy be? I truly want Obama to be more than excellent in his second Term; this Nation depends on it.

Houston!

I love your use of imagery:

"... wonder how many REAL wingnuts will be sitting in their own fuzzy bathrobes for the next four years, bestirring themselves occasionally only to pound on their keyboards to spew their impotent rage into cyberspace against the imaginary Barack Obama that exists only in their fevered brains."

Beautiful. LOL

bama has done nothing to improve this country other than to sell us down the river to the chinese, buried us in debt,given us healthcare that nobody wants,if it's so great why aren't all the politicians signing up for it?His gun control program is stupid,crime has gone down with increase of gun permits(except in gun free zones).Prejudice has nothing to do with my feelings about the moron,"Condoleeza Rice would have been good Pres(she has brains,knows deal with foreign leaders and has class)none of which the perfect example of democratic party (obama) has.In case some of you lib's don't know it's the jackass.

We're not done with our journey yet... no, let's be sure we surpass $20 trillion national debt in the next couple pof years. More hope & change we can count on! Woo hoo! We're heading in the right direction- some journey we've been on so far eh? All those folks lined up out the door at local gun stores- yep, some fresh ideas rolling out these days. Fo' mo' years of spend! spend! spend! is here everybody. Yee-haw!

gunfsafety,

... and did you know that Wayne LaPierre, Warlord of the NRA, dodged the Vietnam draft in 1969 by having his family doctor write a letter saying he has a nerve disorder?

Or perhaps they didn't mention that on Fox News yet.

(And actually, it was Mitt Romney and his uber-rich corporate pals that "sold us down the river to the chinese" as you like to say, by sending US jobs over there by the thousands.)

"Actually, the President is quite popular overseas, especially in Europe."

Oh yeah, Obama is liked by many successful European countries such as Greece and Spain. The whole entire continent of Europe is going down the drain, mainly due to the extreme left wing policies. America will look like Greece by the end of Obama's 2nd term. It's not a surprise that the left wing radicals over in Europe like him so much.

Random pennsylvanian,

Well, so far none of your dire predictions or those of your party affiliation have come true, so please don't be surprised if the rest of us don't get too alarmed about them yet.

You can keep trying to divide our country, and the rest of us will keep trying to bring us together. But, we would like it if you would help instead of hinder national unity.

Obama: "Our journey is not complete to fundamentally change the United States of America".

Congratulations. Obama has taken the Constitution and ripped into strips to use in the White House bathroom and the U.S. is fundamentally changing away from what the founding fathers had created to a European type economy that is destined to fail.

I am glad I am at the end of my working lifespan. I was going to work another 10 years before I retired but under the Obama economy it doesn't do any good to try and earn more money - I won't be able to keep it anyway.

But what I am sad about is my children will not have the same opportunities I have had. For the first time in United States history our children will have a lower standard of living than their parents had. Sad. Very sad.

Those of you that support the Socialist Agenda of O'Bama, move to Russia. I'm sure that the Welfare/free phone supported will have no problem using their Food Stamps to purchase a one-way ticket. The rest of America will stay and fight. It's time to let O'Bama know very abruptly that if he continues with his Socialist Agenda of Higher Taxes, Larger Debt and increase on Entitlements and intrusion of the Federal Government, he WILL be met with resistance. He has started a Revolution and now it the time to arm and let O'Bama know his agenda will not be supported by those that pay the taxes that makes his Entitlements possible. Those that live off those Entitlements, no more sitting on your backsides, look for work and "earn your keep".

Thanks Jim! You proved both my observation and my guess of what you're reply would be. Stay predictable, chump!

ProBusiness,

Perhaps if you too tried to work together the next four years toward national unity instead of just complaining and trying to impede progress, we might move toward a better tomorrow faster.

And JoeB,

Ok, stop already with the "revolution" talk. That's just plain silly and not gonna happen. Go back to cleaning your gun and watching your violent movies, then when you are ready to talk sense, come on back to the conversation.

Silver, your full of BS my friend. I just got back from my second 2 month trip there 2 months ago, and your delusional. In France they hate him for the Libya debacle, which has serious ramifications to many countries over there. In Turkey he's as popular as diaper rash, because of his continuation of Afghanistan for 6 years after taking office. I love you folks that talk your BS, who have never even been overseas, but listen to your media crap. I travel for a living Silver, and I travel constantly, and if you think Obama is popular then I have some land west of Miami for sale. you don't know squat about people in South America, Europe or the middle east unless you've been there. Yeah, W wasn't popular but Obama is just as despised, maybe more so, because he's really pissed off the French and Spain big time pal. You sit your rear in a french bistro and start your BS story about Obama and see how far that gets you Silver. In the middle east he is as popular as herpes pal.

Silverton, if you want to see people who are "dividing this country", look at the comments above made by your fellow liberals.

SeekingSanity:"You just look like the pathetic losers you truly are!"

SeekingSanity:"No one would EVER do business with an idiot like you."

Jason797:"People like Mary Joe an Harry Downs are truly Pathetic and a bunch of cowards."

Listening to the speeches today, gives me great hope for the future.

And I absolutely agree that the President needs to make his case to the people more, and ask for their support against these special interest groups.. Those groups have stonewalled change for decades. People want progress on these issues, and they will have your back when you ask for it. They just need you to lead, and tell them how they can help. The gun control issue is a perfect example. Groups are forming all over to stand against the NRA lobby, because you asked them to have your back. And they do. Never forget, the majority voted for you.

As for the Republicans. You are where you are now, because you have NOT had anyones back, except your own. And Romneys 47% comment is a perfect example of that. People finally see.. And they dont like what they found. The comments on this forum coming from Republicans, shows the general contempt your party and its leaders have for everyone else. Despite all that, this president is here to represent everyone, even though you really deserve nothing.

he will leave us flat ass broke at the end of his second term...and further indebt than we've ever been...

Chris from Yucaipa

Thanks Jim! You proved both my observation and my guess of what you're reply would be. Stay predictable, chump!

Aaaaawwwwwww Chrissy, that’s it? That’s the best you can come back with?

No pithy comment? No cutesy lil Liberal talking points?

NO PROFLIGATE WITTY LIBERAL FACTISMS?

ROTFLMAO!!!!

It’s OK Chrissy, you’re doing the right thing not trying to challenge me. I know it’s hard for you limp-wristed little Liberals when your racism, and projection of it, is exposed. You wanna just run back down into the safe confines of momma’s basement, don’t you? We real Americans understand, you wannabe’s just want to be black so badly don’t you, to relate, to feel our pain, to connect, don’t you?

So, anyway, keep your “observation” and your “guess” to yourself next time and you won’t be exposed for the impotent little useful idiot that you really are. Now go back to your lily-white Yucaipaville and keep trying to be black, we all know it’s pacifying for you Libbies.

This is a sad, sad day for our once great nation. American will never fulfill its promise of greatness with this quick-talking-used-car-salesman at the helm.

There were two Al Qaeda attacks on US nationals overseas in the last four (4) months. In the past, that kind of activity was a prelude to further deadly attacks against Americans offshore, and ultimately right here in our own back yard.

But, Obozo denied knowing the Benghazi tragedy was an Al Qaeda attack for almost two weeks (He didn't call it "AN act of terrorism," the day after it happened, either. That was just another media supported LIE.) I'm anxious to see what he does in the wake of this latest incident in Algiers. He needs to "recognize" and act before Al Qaeda rejuvenates itself, and hits us again.

But, I have to say this before I finish this post. I've never seen worse economic numbers turned in by a first term President, who then went on to be re-elected. The media continues to give Obozo favorable coverage in each situation. Even when he is dead-bolts wrong. I have never seen it do that for ANY President, whether they were Democratic or Republican. That's very, very dangerous, and we, the American public, need to keep an eye on this administration because the mainstream media refuses to do its job, and refuses to tell the truth.

I love your use of imagery:

Well, I stole that imagery of the wingnut in his fuzzy bathrobe from Steven Colbert. I really think the guy's a comedic genius. And in his persona as a pompous self-important jerk, Colbert would be the first to agree with me! Not everything he does comes off right, but when it does, he's hysterical. The fuzzy bathrobe skit was one of his best.

JCB,

I have a son who lives in Europe and speaks French and your view of "Obama is hated everywhere" is not what he conveys to me. From the photos he sends, he and his friends enjoying hanging out in bistros when they are not working, so I imagine he would pick up on the European hatred of Obama if there was much of it.

In conclusion, I suppose that is only your opinion that all Europeans hate Obama and you are hearing what you want to hear. It is called "wishful thinking."

And btw, JCB,

I never said the President was popular in the Middle East.

Please calm down and read a little slower.

I would just like to say congrats PBO and a safe travels your next 4 years(as we all know there is alot of vacations inline).And would hope to see the Dems win the House back in 2014.This country needs this to happen for the better of it.I can only explain it like this--We as a country need to hit rock bottom to see the error of our ways,you know like a crackhead,and with the republicans being the only thing in the way of letting it hit bottom their holding up progress.Two full years with Dimocrats in controll should wake the majority of true freedom loving Americans to stand up and set this country back on track 2016 and beyond.And Fiesty were you in washington today,i seen a redheaded tranny holding a pig,next to someone with a shirt that said never had a Job1,seeking sanity please help.

Silverton said:

Perhaps if you too tried to work together the next four years toward national unity

Did you REALLY just say that? From the Democrat Party that, for the first two years of the Obama administration, didn't even allow Republicans in the room for conversation?

The same Democrat Party that won't to this day discuss any type of compromise?

The same Democrat Party that is publicly stating their goal is to create such a crack in the Republican Party their hope is to annihilate the Republican Party?

You mean THAT national unity? That would be an incredibly funny comment if it wasn't so sad..........

Beverly in Chicago

Reagan started the meltdown of the financial sector, widening income inequality, the emergence of lockdown America, the obscene inflation of CEO compensation, the end of locally owned media, market crashes, blackouts, drug-company scandals, rampant greed and materialism .

Hmmm, really? Reagan? Are you sure, or is that what Barrack Hussein, Debbie Whatsername Slutz or David Axelhead tells you Libbies to say?

I thought the FSLIC collapse was already starting from policies dating back to the 30’s. You remember the 30’s, right? The Depression, when FDR did everything wrong that you could possibly do to prolong an 18 month, to at most a 24 month, recession into a decade long Depression.

You know, things like extending federal deposit insurance to S&L’s, borrowing short to sell long, Regulation Q, interest rate restrictions, the feds ban on adjustable rate mortgages, restrictions on setting up branches, the dual chartering system, the secondary mortgage market agencies set up by Fannie and Freddie? You know, those little things that Jimmy Carter ignored. You remember, when Carter confessed he thought that stagflation was incapable of being fixed, until Reagan came along and did just that.

Remember, Reagan never controlled the House in his 8 years, it was Democrats that created all those systemic defects in the fiscal policies then, led by the most profligate spender in congressional history, Tip O’Neill. Just research TEFRA to see what Reagan had to deal with especially after what he “inherited” from Jimmy “Peanut Boy” Carter.

Income inequality and CEO wage inflation all began in the early 1990’s and skyrocketed by 2000. Where was your outrage then? Why weren’t you screaming at your boy-toy Billy Blue-Dress for allowing all those market distortions?

Of course you Libbies always forget about that little decade that Billy “BJ” Clinton ruled over don’t you? The missed opportunity to regulate derivatives by Brooksley Born in 1998. The skyrocketing of real after-tax income by the rich began in 1993 at 150 times the average and peaked to nearly 300 in 2000. The CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was about 50:1 in 1990 and hit historic highs in 2000 at over 400:1.

So, where was all your screaming and whining back then? Many of us saw it as we were investing in that irrational exuberance that consumed the late 90’s. As we day-traded that period we saw the wealth disparity but the Left was conspicuously quiet.

It’s time to park your Liberal/Progressive hypocrisy, we real Americans aren’t buying any of it.

Greed isn’t someone wanting to keep more of what they earn, its people demanding a greater share of money that someone else has earned.

I'll support anyone who will try to improve my standard of living ...without destroying someone else’s!

ProB

The same Democrat Party that won't to this day discuss any type of compromise?

It was Republican Speaker of the House who refused to say he would compromised when asked during an interview shortly after the 2010 election. It was Barack Obama who adopted the Republican proposals for universal health insurance now denounced as socialist tyranny by the same people who proposed it in the first place. And if Republicans really want compromise, maybe they should start by calling the opposing party by its real name: the Democratic Party, not the "Democrat" Party.

Houston!, Nice try,but....

51.1 for Obama vs. 47.2 for Romney. Pretty darn close eh? WHEW! Too close! Thank god for all those lost and uncounted military ballots. And those 59 districts in Philly where Obama got 100% of the votes without a single vote for Romney. Or Wood County Ohio, where 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters. Oh! Uh,and St. Lucie County Fl. there were 175,574 registered voters but 247,713 votes were cast. In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters. Hmmmm. 108% of the vote. Math don't seem right. A polling location in St. Lucie County Fl. had a 158% voter turnout! It goes on and on. If not for this fraud, Romney would have,should have,been our president. But hey,this is Chicago style politics. I could expect nothing less from this crew of crooks....

"our journey is not complete" - B.Obama

What he failed to say out loud.....

"This nation is still too strong, there are too many guns in the hands of the individual, there are still too many voices that object, there are still too many that hold to their religion, there are still too many that believe the Constitution means exactly what is written, there are still too many that are willing to fight for freedom...... regardless of the enemy.... whether it be foreign or domestic.... there are still too many that believe in right and are willing to die for their beliefs.......... as long as there remains too many still left out there in this country, our take over will not be complete..... our vision to destroy the American way of life will not be complete..... "

Watch out for Barry.... his WORDS do not always MEAN what he SAYS..........

What an idiot! Obama cares for you about as much as he cares for a ginger snap cookie. That's about how much consideration he gives for you. Obama and the dems....as well as the repubs...care about power and influence. Obama like any pol will tell you what you want to hear.

With the inauguration of this BLACK MAN, for the second time, there is now ample proof that the first four years were not an aberration, not a fluke, not the liberal white guilt taking care of itself.

All you race haters (particularly in the US Senate, Mr. Minority Leader) can now go back into your holes and hope that the not white people will just go away.

Well, the nation has changed, as it will continue to change.

N. European whites no longer make up the majority of the country.

Within 30-50 years, they will be a distinct MINORITY.

Conservative white males (the majority within the Republican party) already are a minority in the country and dwindling every day. The 2010 win was the last desperate gasp of a dying breed. The country has moved on from the politics of hate which formed the modern GOP, and from which the final mid-term win of the GOP was formed.

buyamerican Comment collapsed by the community

Pomp and circumstance for his failed policies and leadership! Only in America! I wonder what the total cost that this inauguration will set the American people back! Choking deficit and millions out of work and we have to spend our hard earned taxes by celebrating this man and his communist agenda! Not me no way! Worst presdent ever and history will dictate the facts!

So pomp and circumstance are okay for a president that started two unnecessary wars but not for one who ends them? Pomp and circumstance should never be allowed for an inaugeration because YOU believe the President should be at his desk and never leave the White House for any reason, right? How much did it cost to inaugerate and entertain Reagan or the Bushs and how much would have been spent had Romney been elected? Would you have objected to that? If not, why not? Isn't sause for the goose good enough for the gander?

After the Fascist wannabe George W. Bush spent so much on the credit card for his two unnecessary little wars it wouldn't have mattered who was president after him the debt would have had to climb or we would have a depression that would make the 1930s look like a small recession.

What criteria do you use to determine who is the best or worst president in history? Just because YOU say so? Just because YOU don't agree with him? Who the ^)*^% are you to make such judgements anyway? Have you been a recognized expert on Presidential history and have written several books on the subject or are you just blowing smoke out your arse?

Before the Inaugural luncheon today when all the dignitaries and politicians were coming in (both Dem's and GOP), I switched over to see how Fox News was handling the headlines. The only thing the Fox reporters could talk about was how much the FEAST was costing, and how it certainly was an expensive FEAST the Democrats were having, and how Abraham Lincoln never had such an expensive FEAST for his Inauguration.

LOL

Of course, Fox didn't mention the fact that the President reduced the number of Inaugural Celebration Balls held from 10 to only 2. I imagine that saved tens of thousands of dollars, but of course, nobody at GOP/FOX news is going to admit that.

Ya think Romney would have served dogs and chips if he and his rich corporate buddies had won or would he have done it up big time?

I always taught my own kids to be gracious when they lost a game, and even when they were disappointed to lose, they said "good game" anyway.

The GOP and Tea Party are the most immature, and least gracious, sore losers, and a terrible example to the youngsters they are raising. Talk about sour grapes.

Pete-286

Houston!, Nice try,but....

51.1 for Obama vs. 47.2 for Romney. Pretty darn close eh? WHEW! Too close!

It wasn't close at all. Obama got more votes than Bush did in 2004, he beat his opponent by a wider margin than Bush beat Kerry. If there was any truth to your claims of voter fraud that you got from wingnut web sites, the Republican Party would certainly have said something about it. You're claim that Obama somehow "stole" the five million votes he won by just suggests that you're wearing your tinfoil hat too tight.

Watching the festivities today made me smile. I couldn't help but think how different the whole day would have felt if Romney/Ryan had been elected. We can certainly be eternally grateful that we didn't have to witness Romney baby stepping down the street and Queen Ann, with her smug smile, waving to the little people.

silverton-2953905

The only thing the Fox reporters could talk about was how much the FEAST was costing, and how it certainly was an expensive FEAST the Democrats were having, and how Abraham Lincoln never had such an expensive FEAST for his Inauguration.

Now that's ironic. Lincoln was viciously attacked because his wife spent too much money on clothes and furniture while he was president. If Fox News had been around back then the president they would have supported would have been Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy.

16 Years of Bush..And the only Change we have got was A Change For The Worse!

Bush = Obama.....What is really funny is the pathetic clowns out there who pretend there is a difference between the two!

Oh well as they say "There's a sucker born every minute" ~P. T. Barnum (attributed)!

Sorry Jim, but I've decided to actively avoid arguing with little retarded kids. There is no glory to be found picking on an intellectually disadvantaged youth such as yourself. I'm just going to fake a smile, pat you on the shoulder, and secretly hope you don't @!$%# on the carpet on the way out.

Democrats can twist and turn "facts" all you want to but one thing is clear: LESS people are working today than when Obama took office 4 years ago and FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY the median income declined from the time period of taking office and the end of the first term.

Obama has accomplished one thing for sure: The president responsible for the worst economic recovery in U.S. history.

And Obama's focus is gay rights, gun control, and immigration? I have an idea: why doesn't Obama focus on the economy and jobs "like a laser" like he has promised for the last four years?

You know what is worse than a pathetic Obama presidency? That there are enough ignorant and uninformed voters to reelect this fool.

Obama first term check list (the real one, the one that gets the $40K a plate fundraising dinner bucks) :

1. Continue and expand massive bail-out of bankers (started by Bush) so they won't suffer any business losses and also so the devastating failure of Neo-liberal ("Free-market") economic policies will not be exposed (or noticed by public) and have to be abandoned. √

2. Make sure the bankers on Wall Street don’t do any jail time or suffer financially for swindling the U.S and world economy off of a cliff in 2008. √

3. Make sure bank officials don't go to jail or suffer significant financial loss for stealing millions of people's homes by the use of fraudulent signatures and foreclosure documents. Immunize banks against prosecution. √

4. Make sure banks (and Obama's friend, Robert Wolf of UBS) don't suffer any criminal or financial problems from the Libor rate fixing scam. Immunize banks from prosecution.√

4. Make sure Bush administration officials don’t do any jail time or suffer any consequences for criminal activity related to invading Iraq/Afghanistan, torture/abuse of prisoners, and domestic surveillance. Immunize officials against any future prosecution. √

5. Do as little as possible about record high unemployment and foreclosures. √

6. Defend and expand Bush era attacks on civil liberties and continue process started by preceding administration to lay the "legal" foundations for corporate police state. √

7. Play golf. √

Obama, second term "to do" list (Probably much the same as Romney's would have been but using different tactics):

1. Launch attack against poor and middle class standard of living using "austerity" with the deficit as a rationale. Use the manufactured "crisis" of the "Fiscal Cliff" (created by both parties) to scare the public into accepting big cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. As much as possible cut those programs.

2. After sanctions have devastated Iran's economy (much like Iraq during the 1990's) attack Iran militarily with Israel to keep Israel dominant in the region and allow Israel to finish destroying any prospect of a viable Palestinian state. Also to score "hits" against future economic rivals, Russia and China, who have major business/geo political interests in Iran.

3. Increase aid to extremist Islamic opposition in Syria and launch or join NATO in "libya style" attack on Syria. (Also to score "hits" against future economic rivals, Russia and China, who have major business/Geopolitical interests in Syria)

3. Continue transfer of wealth from middle class to rich via: Tax cuts on businesses, business "incentives" and rebates, allowing corporations to use high unemployment to drive down wages and benefits, cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, letting states go broke so they have to cut services and finance existing services (education etc) with bonds provided by wealthy investors, etc.

4. Use policies listed in 1 & 3 above to continue process of turning U.S. into low wage export platform.

5. Continue cutting back or gutting civil liberties and laying "legal" foundation for some form of corporate police state.

(Justice Louis Brandeis: "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.")

6. Play golf.

Yep, "the Journey is not complete" until I TRANSFORM AMERICA into another GREECE.

"The journey is not complete" because even a tyrannical president needs more than four years to completely destroy a country.

Thousands turned out for Obama, too bad he hasn't figured out that his presidency is about the American people and not himself. Unfortunately most of what Obama said needed to be fixed by Washington are problems he helped to create. Everyone should expect a more expensive nation, from taxes to products in our daily lives, and above all else nothing that will not collapse on Obama's watch will even be addressed. Sad day for the nation, and even sadder for future generations that will be forced to pick up the tab.

Thank GOD King obama day is over, and now we have less then 4 yrs to put up with the inept clown.

@ Chris

Enjoy the process.

That sounds so Zen like, but i wonder...did you "enjoy the process" Jan 04?

As a white male small business owner who has worked hard to earn the success and wealth I have, I could not disagree with your statement. This President has shown he does not care about me, or those like me (white, male, sucessful, wealthy, hard working, etc).

My wife and I have both worked hard for the past twenty years to better our lives and children, endless hours and commitment only to see every gain diminish consistently in the past four years..

I've been thinking about taking on a second job but hard work doesn't pay off anymore it has lost its meaning.

I hate to say it but I am actually taking some pleasure in all the conservative gnashing of teeth that is going on. They are so bitter. It is just like seeing a spoiled child not get his way.

Wow middle-aged White Guy...So since you served to "defend" the people of this country and give them the right to free speech you tell people to shut it? I see...So I guess that means since I too served my country even during war time I have the right to tell you to blow it out your ass?? You are a disgrace to any uniform of any service...

And seekingstupidityandfoundit..You are a walking epitome of hypsocrisy....You are what makes people look at the left and do the crazy gesture....

Marshant

The first two years, of president Obama's term, he got his hands stung many times, buy trying to extend it to the the Republican beehive of NO! This was mush to the chagrin of his supporters and advisers, who tried to tell him, Republicans do not comprise, they just take. I will take one President Obama, over a million of any Republican, any day of the week. He has done more to regain the respect of foriegn countries and the citizens of the United States. I hope he knows how many of us, have his back. He has my complete admiration for bringing us forward and yes, lading through the undone parts, of our future.

As for Mrs, Obama, the fact that she got stuck next to John Boehner and was still able to eat, only proves Phenergan works! President Obama and Michell, and their daughters, make me realize whzt one can do, if they try.

I am willing to bet, most of the anti-Obama posts, written here, are from people who would not share a morsel of food or, a thread of clothing, to help another human being. Not unless, they looked a certain way and have the same lack of ethics.

Here is the sad part. I know somewhere, among the Republican politicians, there is a decent, caring and hard working person, who deserves all of our respect and admiration but will never receive it because that person it bundled in with the Party of Hate and despair.

I personally, do not see Michelle Obama rolling her eyes at John Boehner. She most likely was choking on the scent of his alcohol laced cologne. Or maybe it's his breath. Hiccup!

I'm still waiting for Rush, Beck and Hannity to get the hell out of dodge, like they all were crying "if" he got re-elected.

Then who would pay for your shizit, Momus?

Momus2009 - I'm still waiting for Rush, Beck and Hannity to get the hell out of dodge, like they all were crying "if" he got re-elected. Ah - we can only dream.....

The right wing has to work hard to declare this day a failure... While we celebrate the re-election of a President that history will certainly regard very well, they just show up for the cheese and whine.

He has given all true Americans at least a little more reason for hope in a very dark period of American history... He has given 'merkins at least a little more reason to hope if they had the attention span to do it... And if allowed to, he might even give the Aristocratic sect a fighting chance when they get to the pearly gates. You know, that place where greasing palms, stacking decks, usurping others and generally riding everyone elses backs for a living doesn't carry the "right" kind of weight.

Surely they believe in that and aren't just constantly saying so to further enrich themselves by fooling the masses!

Mitt: Hello St. Peter! I'm Mitt Romney, a political figure!

St. Peter: I know who you are Mitt...

Mitt: I'm a Mormon, and it has served me well here on Earth...

St. Peter: This isn't a way station for Kolob...

Mitt: Hello St. Peter! I'm Mitt Romney, a political figure...

St. Peter: We don't seem to have you on the list...

Mitt: Did you check up at the top? I should be up at the top...

St. Peter: Just as surely as Jesus roamed the old West...

Mitt: So you do see it there?

St Peter: NEXT!!

Mitt: Hello St. Peter! I'm Mitt Romney, a political figure...

Finally at peace today knowing freedom under the American Constitution and the care of the most vulnerable Americans is in the hands of Barack Obama for the next 4 years.

^Just because you have a voice doesn't mean you have anything to say.

OtC, you're an angry white guy, right? Probably a one tooth flapping in the freeze teabilly too!

And starting today, you are going to get the economy fixed with realistic fixes right? Not more of this futuristic yet to be invented theories and ideas? You are going to go with what works right?

IT IS THE ECONOMY STUPID!! EVERYTHING ELSE CAN TAKE A BACKSEAT FOR THE TIME BEING!!!

People Not Working = Anarchy and Chaos!

People Working = More Tax Revenues and Prosperity for all!

If you really care about putting people to work and fixing the economy then for the next four years;

Give Tax breaks to ALL companies (not just the chosen few small green companies) that increase their workforce with full time jobs with benefits.

Do not implement any new regulations (like last term) that will hamper job creation.

Quit thinking that Government jobs will pay down the deficit, they only increase it.

And constantly ask yourself this question - Have I done anything to fix the ECONOMY today and put people back to work.

And finally, quit saying that all this is Bush's fault, take some responsibility and get to work fixing it.

Here are some numbers for you Steamie2010.

Most everyone suspected fraud, but these numbers prove it and our government and media refuse to do anything about it.

As each state reported their final election details, the evidence of voter fraud is astounding. Massive voter fraud has been reported in areas of OH and FL, with PA, WI and VA, all are deploying personnel to investigate election results.

Here are just a few examples of what has surfaced with much more to come.

* In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region,

Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for
Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).

* In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio,

Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations - and not one single vote was recorded for Romney.
(Another statistical impossibility).

* In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.

*

In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.

* The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.

*

Palm Beach County,

FL had a 141% voter turnout.

* In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.

NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.

Imagine that!

Mr. Mudd - again, nothing but lies. But, don't worry - that's all we expect from you and your ilk!

Momus2009 - I'm still waiting for Rush, Beck and Hannity to get the hell out of dodge, like they all were crying "if" he got re-elected. Ah - we can only dream.....

Right, because we all know there is nothing a liberal hates more than an opposing opinion being allowed to voice it.

Backcountry - you missed the point. The ignorant haters, Rush,Beck and Hannity vowed to flee the country if President Obama was re-elected. We're waiting for them to keep that vow!

And no one resents a well-reasoned opinion - just the ignorance and hatred those idiots spew.

Voice your opinions all you want. That's what the 1st Amendment is all about. There is a phrase, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," commonly mis-attributed to Voltaire, but it has also been attributed to, among others, Edmund Burke, an 18th century Englishman. Regardless of who said it, the sentiment is there, and is widespread.

Democracy is great, and voicing one's opinion without fear of reprisal is one of the features of democracy. So go ahead and say any nutty thing you want. I have never complained about the many nutty statements I read on these posts, and I won't. Your right to free speech is my right to free speech as well. That is the essence of democracy. Thank the government for preserving that right, because, as President Obama said today, there are many things an individual cannot do alone; we must all work together. So how about we all tone it back a little bit, rely on facts, not emotion, and see how much we can accomplish when we respect one another, and not hate one another?

No, I caught the point of the OP, that's why I didn't respond to it. I also caught YOUR point, which was clearly stated "we can only dream"...of a day when we don't have to hear opposing opinions. You've made it PERFECTLY clear that you don't like them at all.

And no one resents a well-reasoned opinion - just the ignorance and hatred those idiots spew.

I don't see any more "ignorance and hatred" coming from them than I do from YOU. Pretty much every post you make is THICK with it. I usually advise people to not bitch about something if they are going to make a hypocrite out of themselves in the process.

Now they are wrapping up lunch.

The President is speaking, and next to the standing President is John Boehner who is eating, having just swallowed a large piece of buffalo meat....on TV .... bon appetit? or Save our buffaloes?

Backcountry - anything you post is just an attack on someone else. You are truly irrelevant - in everything you say and do!

Pigotry - interestingly enough I see both Presidents Clinton and Carter but not a Bush to be seen. I understand why the elder Bush would not be there - he is in poor health. But little George? I guess the Republicans are still keeping him hidden - hoping everyone will forget! Not a chance!!!

George W. Bush was a no-show today at the 57th inaugural

The speculation... is George W. Bush is ... right now ... busy looking for WMD...somewhere in the freed Iraq.

Wow, never seen 11 million+ illegals partying in the streets like today! All those old chevylow riders bouncing up & down

Wonder how many millions today's festivities cost the taxpayers?

You are aware the inauguration is paid for by donations... yes???

Backcountry - anything you post is just an attack on someone else. You are truly irrelevant - in everything you say and do!

Allow me to repeat myself- " I usually advise people to not bitch about something if they are going to make a hypocrite out of themselves in the process."

What a bunch of sore a$$ losers the so called conservatives are these days. Who cares anyway. Their days are numbered.

I just loved Michelle's tribute to Moe from the Three Stooges haircut, you go girl!

No fisty, not at all-just being accurate.

Hey, maybe some illegals can come live in your basement!

Just a thought, but most of you Liberal posters above should follow your Messiah's message from the inauguration, and I quote,

"We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate,"

Most of you above, and you know who you are (pigotry, backhouse, fiesty, tonybeerm, seeking, etc. etc. etc.), think that somehow name calling and belittling another persons position equates to an intelligent debate, it does not!

Good Day!

But, like the deficit..."That's the futures problem now"...right?
