Let's all just give him a free pass and not hold him accountable for the stupid crap he signs while in office because he is black. boohoo! Cry me a river. You can't criticize him because that is racist. You can't disagree with him because that is racist.
Personally....I think this whole "stimulus" package is stupid and therefore anyone who wrote it, voted for it, or signed the bill, IMO, is as dumb as monkey. That is my take on the cartoon. obama's stupidity has nothing to do with the fact he is black. It is the fact that once again our government is spending billions of dollars that we don't have for something that will not work. Doesn't take a lot of brains to fling poo like monkeys do and as far as I"m concerned this bill is nothing but the government flinging poo at us.

Poor, poor Obama......sm
and I bet you don't think that huge press conference, surrounded by the adoring media masses, pandering to poor me (O) being taken advantage of....you don't believe that was political grandstanding?
Tsk tsk.
Poor thing....... wonder where Obama's little tax
SS
Michelle Obama shunning poor patients!!
Tons of info on this........ for those that care more about this country than the Obama fest...........

Poor, poor MT. She can't pick a fight with anyone on her own board tonight and must come here to
Awww....you like me? LOL!
I'm not naive enough to think that politicians are honest. I mean....if they were honest...they would stop playing the blame game in this economic crisis and actually take responsibility for their own greedy actions....particularly Dodd and Frank who I personally think should be put in separate jail cells with a large sweaty cell mate who is looking for some loving....if ya know what I mean. LOL!
Neither candidate, IMO, has a great plan to help our economy. I have to look at other issues like abortion, gun control, etc. There are a lot more things that I disagree with that Obama supports. Also, when it comes to making a living, my husband runs a car dealership and that business is hurting big time. He is running a skeleton crew, works long hours to cover for the lack of employees, and is happy to just break even. The other dealerships in his group are all talking about who they can fire if things continue to get worse to save the dealerships money. Under Obama's plans....the dealerships will suffer more and my husband and I can't afford for it to get much worse. Just another example of a small business that will have its taxes raised and will actually hurt it rather than help it which will equal loss of more jobs.
I have so many issues right now with government. The spending is WAY out of control. I'm realistic enough to know that under both Obama and McCain's plans that they BOTH will add to the national deficit and that IS A FACT. I'm just tired of government having control of so much and that is another reason why I'm voting McCain. I don't want a bigger government like Obama wants. Government has screwed up enough for us as it is....I don't want it bigger.
I also feel that in the matter of national security that I feel more comfortable with McCain. He has the military experience and he has been there, suffered through war, etc. I also think that other countries know this about McCain and would think real hard before they actually did something to us knowing that McCain has that background. Obama, on the other hand has never been tested and we could very well be hit with something just to see how he would handle it. Would he buckle and do nothing and let them bully us or would he hit them back? His own running mate said he would be tested.
In all honesty, Obama has just never run anything. He was a community organizer and the housing in his district were so bad that people didn't have heat during the winter. He has a little over 140 days in the senate and that is it. I want more experience. Palin doesn't have much experience either but at least she has run a whole state and made executive decision in running that state. Her approval rating is still one of the highest if not highest in the country. Is she perfect? No...of course not. But she is running for VP and not pres. Obama is running for pres with no experience and that doesn't settle well with me in addition to all the other things I've mentioned before as well as the issues with Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Farrakhan, etc.
Also, the fact that Obama has supported more earmarks and pork in his four years in the senate than McCain has his whole political career.....to me that says a heck of a lot about the type of pres Obama will be. He will do nothing but spend spend spend on special interest groups and government assisted programs that we cannot possibly afford.
awww come on lighten up
i think it is a hilarious article. but then again, i find politics funny because, if i didnt, id be crying every night. :)
awww, don't want to go there so this thread
has ended? "Case closed" I guess.
Awww c'mon now
Christian...don't be hatin! yes as a matter of fact I DO know what an ARM is and was smart enough NOT to get one thank you. It still goes back to my original thought that one that does not make much money each month should not be looking at houses in the 300 to 400,000 range to begin with. And if they were silly enough as to believe that they even COULD afford that well, that is their own fault. Predatory lending falls under the greed catagory as well. Why is it that when one has a differing opinion they are called uneducated, misinformed etc. point and counterpoint. I cannot believe adults cannot have an intelligent argument without resorting to school yard tactics.
Awww you just know I'm right so try to change the subject ... and also sm
Were you upset your raggedy post was deleted?
Obama's poor judgement...Michael Pfleger, William Ayers, Tony Rezco..
Jeremiah Wright, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, Jamie Gorelick, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac big bucks. We could both go on and on. All politicians are crooked to some extent. Face it, neither one is a great candidate, we have louse options on both sides this time. Fortunately, whoever does win will only serve one term.
Republicans favor giving poor families subsidies to afford private schools. Obama opposed.
Yet Obama sends his daughters to a private school, 29,000 for EACH KID. Hypocrisy, here we come. Geesh, not even in office yet.
Poor Poor Rush. Hey, how is AIR AMERICA
nm
AWWW....you weren't supposed to tell anyone!! Can't keep a secret worth a dang!!
Poor man
That poor man, what he went through..I dont know how he survived.
The poor just need to die, right?
I don't know where you live, but where I live, you are better off working. Clinton cut welfare down to a pittance - 40 hr work week for $123 per week. Kids get Medicaid. Ah, can't forget the food stamps - must begrudge these sloths food!
In Nazi Germany, the Jews cooperated in their own destruction; the Nazis found a form of defection that looked to desperate Jews like cooperation, and they boarded the cattle cars. The message of the Contract Republicans seems also to be that the only cooperation we seek from the desperately poor is that they vanish. The message is that we do not care how they do it: die, leave or metamorphose into something else; just don't disturb us on your way out.
I know what it's like to be poor.....
I know what it's like to consider paper towels a luxury. Where Banquet salsbury steak, macaroni and cheese, hotdogs, rice and oatmeal was all I could afford to eat. I see that again in my immediate future due to job loss and illness in my family. If I'm in that 30%? So be it. We'll make it. We always have. I just refuse to worry about it.
Poor kid, he is confused, isn't he?
Poor people are not the only ones
so blaming obesity on the left IS the joke. Rush isn't poor is he? What about Cheney and Rove? I am well aware of the report he was referring to (I read it too) but describing *bloated tummies* and Unicef is sick and I don't see how anyone can call it satire. Further, what difference would it make if the link worked? You jumped to his defense without even knowing what the article said.
Poor Hillary
So Bill is now coming out saying people are picking on Hillary.
Oh the poor baby. Wasn't she the one who said "If you can't stand the heat....."
Whether I like her or not is besides the point. This is an election and Bill & Hillary need to realize if you want to win you have to work towards it. It's not going to be handed to you.
Yes, I realize she is working hard, but so is Barack Obama. Do you hear him crying when she makes a racial statement about him about how nobody "white" is going to vote for him?
Grow up Bill & Hillary!
And a poor one at that. It bombed.
Poor Judgment
Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".
It was the OP who said poor were unintelligent, not me....
I was quoting her. It is ridiculous to state something like that. The best people I know never went past high school and are the smartest people, rich in common sense, I ever hope to meet. Sometimes the best knowledge does NOT come from a book.
Your grampa and hootsy comment is just nasty. I have heard every debate, I watch Obama every time he is on the tube, and he is the master at dodging questions. He never gave an interview to anyone who would ask him hard questions until last month and he has been at this for a year and a half. But you never hear Obama followers say that. Because whatever he says, even if it is beating around the bush, he says the magic words I will punish the rich and give all of you in the middle class a tax cut...and that is all they want to hear. Democrats have been saying that same old stuff for years...when in the past were you much better off than you are right now?
I am actually better off financially now than I ever have been. I have survived both Republican and Democrat administrations and just worked my way up to where I am. I am not rich, but I am comfortable. And Obama is intent on taking that away from me. Don't expect me to be happy he is doing it, or that you are helping him do it. lol.
Have you always been this hateful toward the poor?
such hostility toward the working class you so strongly assert to be defending is dead-end dialog. That 95% IS the "working class", as you call them. I prefer the term income earners. If you had any clue about the true state of this economy, you would realize that not only is the 95% tax cut feasible, it is exactly what we need and it will be coming at exactly the right time when we all need it the most.
I do not live in a universe where taxpayers line up and bend over while they bail out corporate welfare deadbeats and turn a blind eye on themselves and their children. It must be a very dark world you come from where you seem to thrive on the energy it takes to sustain such hatred in your heart for the poor. My sympathies.
Poor is subjective
My mother made less than 10 an hour, raised two children on her own, managed to pay a house note (the house was falling apart but it was ours), pay for a piece of an automobile to get her back and forth to work. We didn't have anything to speak of, but she never took a penny from the government. She wasn't raised that way and it hurts her to this day to watch all those that now live in her neighborhood on HUD, paying as little as they can get by with, when they still bring in more than her.
Her total income for the year is LESS than 12 thousand a year and she still manages to pay her bills. But those neighbors manage to get all the freebies and extras courtesy of my mom while she watches the nice cars in front of their HUD houses, which she can't afford, nice clothes they wear, jewelry hanging all off their necks and arms. Their kids are walking around with EXPENSIVE clothes on their butts and walk the streets up and down, up and down all day long. They are LAZY. THey have been raised to be LAZY. In this day and time it is sad to know there are those adults out there that continue to raise their children to believe they are "entitled". So very sad.
In these cases, they are not poor, but the government would consider them "poor", even though they have more than my mother, who can't get help at all. Now you figure that one out.
And, the one who gets the HUD house lets everybody and his brother live with them, free of charge of course, so it's like one big 'ole party all the time....music blaring, sick disgusting rap crap, throw their trash in the streets, filthy mouthed. It's sickening.
Poor doesn't always equate with lazy. You're right and I hope your daughter can do better somehow. Her husband should be forced to pay for his child and his fair share and she would not have this problem.
Maybe she should get in touch with all those neighbors around my mom. I'm sure they know the system so well they can tell how her to manipulate the system to get whatever she wants.
Poor Joe the Plumber is going to have
to worry about paying taxes. Turns out he doesn't have a plumber's license nor does his employer which is required by the county. No license, no work, no taxes. Poor Joe.
Isn't the poor the ones that get the welfare now?
So what's your complaint? You think they need more? Fine, give them everything you have and we'll call it a day!
They are both in very, very poor taste and should be
taken down. It is truly amazing what some people will do.
That poor man wasn't even...
...technically an "employee." He was a temp, so I guess he wouldn't even get life the insurance benefits that an employee might get.  
I hear how the poor are
tumors living off the lifeblood of hardworking Americans. Throw all the immigrants out. But, you berate a woman, who out of obvious desperation poisons herself, because she cannot see her way out of pregnancy. Talk about double standards. You probably support the death penalty, too.
Poor baby...(sm)
Using the term "teabaggers" is rude? I shouldn't ridicule others with different beliefs? Give me a break. You guys have consistently ridiculed anyone who agrees with Obama time and time again on this board, as well as those who just don't agree with you. Rude? How about Kool-Aid drinkers, Obamatrons.....you know the list.
The problem with you is that you can dish it out but can't take it. If you plan on teabagging effectively you might want to consider growing a pair.
Excuse me if I'm not sympathetic to those poor,
And talk about moral values! To be more concerned about the profits of a drug company and the fear that the government might "strong arm" them into possibly SAVING THE POPULATION OF AN ENTIRE COUNTRY in a time of WAR is absolutely shameless and reflects a total lack of values.
But that IS the "red" way of thinking, isn't it? Big business must always come first.
Conservatives don't care about the poor...
NOT!

America and the poor, that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo.
The aftermath of Katrina has produced a debate over poor Americans. There are about 37 million people living below the poverty line right now. The issue was described this way by Newsweek (search) reporter Evan Thomas (search), a liberal guy but not alone, who writes, Liberals will say [the authorities] were indifferent to the plight of poor African-Americans. It is true that Katrina laid bare society's massive neglect of its least fortunate.
Massive neglect? Let's take a look at that bit of overstatement. Halfway through President Clinton's tenure in office in 1996, the poverty rate was 13.7 percent. Halfway through President Bush's tenure, the rate is 12.7 percent, a full point lower.
In 1996, the Clinton budget allotted $191 billion for poverty entitlements. That was 12.2 percent of the budget and a whopping amount of money. That's why Bill Clinton (search) was called the first black president by some.
However, the Bush 2006 budget allots a record shattering $368 billion for poverty entitlements, 14.6 percent of the entire budget, a huge increase over Clinton's spending on poverty entitlements.

So sad..we need a foreign leader to help our poor
Venezuelan heating oil will be distributed to poor
U.S. communities via the
Venezuelan-owned oil company Citgo.
Credit: Venezuelanalysis.com
<http://Venezuelanalysis.com>
Caracas, Venezuela, November 18, 2005The
Venezuelan-owned and
U.S.-basedfuel refiner and distributor Citgo will
begin distributing discounted heating oil to poor U.S.
communities next week. Rafael Ramirez, Venezuela's
Minister of Energy and Petroleum, made the
announcement yesterday, saying that the measure is
meant to show Venezuela's commitment to disadvantaged
sectors in the United States.
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez had originally
announced the measure last August, while the U.S.
civil rights activist Jesse Jackson was visiting
Venezuela.
The launch of the discounted heating oil program is
meant to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday and
will benefit communities in poor communities of
Boston, Massachusetts and of the Bronx, New York.
The first phase of the program will begin in Boston
and will provide 4.5million liters (1.2 million
gallons) of heating oil at discounted rates, which
will mean a savings of approximately $10 million.
According to the Venezuelan government, the discounts
will be achieved by eliminating middle-men and
having Citgo deliver the heating oil directly to the
communities.
Accordingly, the plan does not involve any losses to
Citgo itself.
The logistics of the plan will involve non-profit
community organizations, which will help with the
selection of beneficiaries, distribution, and billing.
Heating oil costs are expected to reach historical
heights this year, which means that many poor
households might have to go without heat, despite
limited state programs to subsidize heating oil for
low-income
families.
Citgo is a wholly owned subsidiary of Venezuela's
state-owned oil company PDVSA and operates five
refineries and licenses 14,000 gas stations throughout
the U.S.
I can hardly think of a poor man who ever ran for president. Lincoln maybe.
My Republican values are just as strong as they ever were. But I have been disappointed in President Bush at times. I will stick with him though. But not without question.
I thought that was in poor taste.
And still think so.
definitely shows poor judgement

This poor little Sam person is really pathetic. (s/m)
It seems this person's whole identity & self-esteem revolves around monopolizing this little medical transcriptionists' politics forum. Seems like a waste of your time & energy. If you REALLY care so much about your views & your party, instead of wasting your words on an obscure little politics forum, why aren't you out volunteering for your candidates? Your 24/7 comebacks to nearly EVERY post on this board that disagrees with YOUR beliefs suggests that:
a) You have no job.
b) You do not sleep, eat, or go to the bathroom.
c) You absolutely CANNOT let a person with different ideas have the last word.
Therefore, it seems that you would be the ideal choice for ANY political party to be out canvassing your neighborhood, organizing fundraisers, distributing propaganda (um, I mean literature), etc. to support your candidate.
So the question is, if you are such a 'talented' and 'knowlegeable' political afficionado, why do you waste your time & energy here?
Unfortunately, there are not enough people willing to give to the poor!
Greed is rampant in this country and as the greedy saying goes, "charity begins at home." Therefore, something must be done to help those who are unable to help themselves. If people need to be forced to give, so be it. Whether they are blessed for it or not is of no concern to me. Call it whatever you want, I call it human decency!
The truly poor already get money from the taxpayer.

.....Not very lucky for the poor rabbit.....
*
I am so sick of that excuse for the poor....
I don't know where you live but in this town, black children and white children, and some illegals, sit in the SAME classrooms side by side. They all have the opportunity to learn the same information, regardless of their color or financial situation. And, I might add, if it weren't for the "rich" as you put it, though I question your definition of rich, a lot of these children would not have clothes or food, not because they come from poverty but because they have SORRY LOUSY PARENTS. Now, by all means, please tell me how Obama is going to fix that......he going to go in that poor child's home every day and tell their momma to get her butt home from the whorehouse and the bar and take care of her children? He gonna tell their daddy to get off his sorry lazy butt and take care of his children and stop knocking up every girl he can? The children who are not financially well off do have a good thing going for them however. THey have parents who work, get off their lazy butts, and do not feel ENTITLED to my money. They do not think it is the government's place to take care of them, house them, feed them, do their thinking for them. And, I guarantee you they do not want Obama in there because a lot of them feel he is the problem, the "black" leader who thinks he can take care of the problem. Well, unless he wants to come down on the parents for being bums, then I suggest he get he get off that kick. Stop talking about poverty as if those better off are in some way responsible for the poor.
If it weren't for the "better off" around here who own businesses and have the ability to hire, where in the heck do you think the people would work?
RICH is not a bad word. And I can guarantee you if you were rich, you would be singig a different tune as would others who seemingly have a problem with the "rich". They would be laughing all the way to the bank and b*tching for all it's worth if they thought the government wanted their money.
And I'm not talking about poor who have fallen
xx
I do not hate poor people!
I do, however, have a problem with people who could work but would rather live off of the government. There are a lot of those kinds of people out there. They could better themselves but they just won't. The ones who can't help their situation....I have no problem helping them. But it is the low life scum sucking weasels who just want handouts that ruin it for the people who truly need help and Obama's plans would just enable these weasels to keep being losers.
All these government plans are gonna cost money and yet Obama is supposed to give us all tax cuts.....where he is going to get that money if he if cutting all of our taxes. who is footing the bill....huh? Cuz I sure as sh!t know that Barry Obama isn't gonna pay for it all on his own.
Oh, poor thing.....they need you to protect them
!!
You poor bitter person you
First of all, I am NOT a republican, never have been. Don't worry, I am fully aware of the 401K issue, and I can guarantee you all my eggs are not in one basket. But the ones that are in there sure as heck do not need to be further taxed by Obama for all his entitlement programs.
I too was born to a very poor family and we NEVER took one red dime from the government and I did without plenty. My mother would have lived under a bridge before she accepted money from the government and she was a single mom raising children when my dad died. We had NOTHING before and had nothing afterwards. Now, minimum wage. I know minimum wage. I worked for it all the way through putting MYSELF through college, not the government. My husband who came from a family of 6 children, dirt poor, also worked his OWN way through college and paid his OWN way, not the help of anyone either. He dug ditches, sewers, hauled hay in 100+ degree weather and so many other disgusting jobs you wouldn't touch. Now for those of us who didn't sit on our butts and feel sorry for ourselves, I do not feel sorry for anyone who thinks they are too good to work.
Everyone may not want to go to college but don't criticize those that do. In my county, ANYONE, ANYONE who graduates from a school in this county gets two years FREE college education.....ANYONE. Know how many take advantage of that? Not everyone that could. They're too lazy to make the effort and word hard. I suppose you have an excuse for that too. You better believe if they are making minimum wage then, it's their own fault. They had as much opportunity to better themselves as the kid sitting next to them in school. They just want a free ride because so many see their familities getting one. What's the motivation really!? No, you can't take it with you but the people savoring it as you put it should be the ones who actually work for it, not the freeloaders.
Sorry you think ONLY republicans are smart enough to educate themselves and make a living for themselves. How said for you. I'm independent....those can make their own way too!!
But you're right,everyone will be in for a big shock with Obama draining their wallets. Even the minimum wage earners are going to whining and b@tching and who they gonna blame then? I'm sure they'll find someone besides Obama though.
So get off your pity pot and grow up.....stop living in your past. THat's the problem with all our young people now. They didn't live it but they sure have plenty of people around them who raise them to feel sorry for themselves instead of motivating them to go as far as you can.
Don't worry - he's for helping us poor MTs
