Thanks, backwards typist
I opened my original post, and saw nothing wrong with it. I'm not sure why it's so hard for some here to just go to wnd.com. Another one to check out is ibd.com (Investors' Business Daily).
Incidentally, McCain isn't conservative enough for me, but I have little choice. Sarah Palin is more my style. Regardless of the outcome, I predict a future ticket with Sarah & Bobby Jindal, in no particular order. Talk about a dream ticket! In a very short time he's done wonders for New Orleans.
not Backwards Typist--the one above

I'm with both you and Backwards Typist on this.....sm
There's only supposed to be one president at a time, but we've had two since the first week of November.
Obama shows contempt and disrespect for the current administration and president, every time he holds a press conference or releases press regarding everything that's wrong in America and how he's going to fix it all.
Of course, he's already warned us that it's going to get worse, so he'll be able to keep blaming Bush for the next four years.
Thanks Backwards typist
It's hard to describe the feelings I have. Of course everyone wants him to do well because that would mean it would be good for our country, but DH and I have said over and over they are putting him on a pedistal (sp?), some people are coming out actually equating him with Jesus and what if he happens to do something wrong, what if he fails. Since he has not taken the office yet you can't say he won't or will fail.
It's just a very very scary time now and I for one will not be sleeping without worry. What I know is that he has promised everyone everything and now they are coming to collect. So when our "so-called" enemy countries come back with you better do what I want or else, he's going to have to do what they want. Just horribly horribly unsettling.
I want issues. Like you I come to this board to hear issues. I used to love the links people provided, but now there are some posters who just keep coming on attacking. Hopefully in a week things will settle down and we can get to business. But for now I don't see that happening.
So people who read this...issues, issues, issues. Articles (and please not the "he's like us cos he eats chile dogs and cheese fries" articles). What are his plans, what is he putting in places, what is Pelosi arguing with him about, how's it going to affect us, when is he going to give us that welfare money he promised in his campaign, when is he going to tax the companies who take jobs overseas, why has he now decided not to tax the rich like he promised during the campaign. These are the issues I want to hear. Not about people chanting his name with glee.
I have to confess to backwards typist
they are usually flimsy opinions with no fact, looking for arguments so u are right, i do nont read them.... also what I posted was for dems only so why did u read it? looking for trouble i guess huh?
Well, please, next time, if you aren't a dem and I say dems only, just skip it and we will both be happier.
Thank you.

Hiya Backwards Typist...how are you? sm
I agree with a lot of what you have posted in this thread.
Unfortunately, I really think the Obama administration will not let anyone sink...they will throw a lifeline called socialistm....we will all be owned by the government, and be paying for it for decades to come. Bush opened the door a crack, and Obama is going to prop it open, and take full advantage of the American people.
Most of them won't know what has hit them, until it's too late.
I think you have it backwards, backwards typist!
The right-wing Republicans do most of the bashing on this board. Not only do they bash Obama and anyone who supports him, they are also the ones who have posted the most despicable racial slurs and lies. Maybe you should try going forwards instead of backwards!
by the way, backwards typist - I like hearing your viewpoint -
I am not bashing anybody - I respond sometimes to comments with my own opinions, but I respect that you have the right to yours also.
I never call anyone a liar on this board - but if I see something I think is incorrect, I will try to correct the information if I can...
Also, I agree with the issues needing to be discussed and not bashing - for example, I asked who would vote for SP in 2012 and it turned into "she's better than him" or "he did this" below. I truly wanted to know who would vote for her in the primaries.
But, I don't think it is just the dems tearing down the pubs - I am standing on the fence (neutral to party sides) and I see it going both ways...
I'm with backwards typist, Kaydie, and la difference..nm

Totally agree with you Backwards typist
Sorry haven't been on in awhile and just saw this message. I totally agree with you. The only thing that's going to happen by taking our guns away is that we will not be able to defend ourself. The criminals will still have their weapons.
I am thankful for the NRA - was so sad when Charlton Heston got sick, but I'm glad they are there protecting our rights.
Thanks Backwards Typist - aint that the truth
Brother, talk about trying have a serious discussion. Anytime someone says something negative about what's going on currently they have to say Bush this or Bush that, when the conversation wasn't even about Bush to begin with. It's like what I heard earlier by a democrat on TV. He said if you make fun of Bush it's okay, if you make fun of Obama its not. If you make fun of Palin it's okay if you make fun of Helen Thomas or some other democrat it's not. This is getting very one-sided and it's sad to see what is happening to the country.
I still stand by my original message though that I'm sick and tired of seeing all these specials about the life and times of Obama treating him as though he founded a whole new country, when we've been around for over 200 years and have done very well before he came along.
Thanks for the support BT - knew I could you on you for some clear thinking and sanity. I ended up having to just shut it down today and it was quite frustrating having to repeat the same thing over and over, gave me a headache.
Ignore the negativity truck, there, backwards typist.

Sounds like a great idea, Backwards Typist
But gently, gently...don't want to accidentally hurt her.
(LOL...I get the idea that she'd be kickin' OUR butts instead!!!) 
You give him a lot of credit
In your view one man single-handedly has brought the world down in 5-1/2 years. That's really giving Bush a lot of power. If Clinton and other Democratic presidents were soooo great then why didn't they single handedly make the world a utopian place when they were in office? Wow, Democratic presidents must have really sucked if you have the view that the Office of the President of the United States holds the power to either make the world Heaven or Hell. It seems the Dems could do neither. Man, they were lamer than I ever imagined if your view is correct.
Yeah and I give him credit
that's one time he told the truth.
I think you give the public too much credit!
They won't even know about it until someone shows up at the door to take their kids to the "campus." The American public is too apathetic to act in their own best interests AND too easily fooled by pretty words.
You are correct and I will give him credit for that, but SM
we need to remember that it takes money to train the SEALS and he is going to cut the military budget. Also we need to stop referring to these pirates and terrists as criminals. Remember what Bin Laden said back in the 90s. When Clinton pulled us out of Somalia because the soldiers were killed and drug in the street (Black Hawk Down), he knew the US was weak. You cant show weakness to your enemies.
I will give The Teleprompter credit. nm

Good for Fox - I'm no Fox fan but I'll give them credit for doing the right thing
They say Fair and Balanced but they definitely are more conservative and Sean Hannity really gets on my nerves something awful. He's about as condescening as Rush and treats guests who are liberals as though they are less intelligent than he is.
When I am in favor of conservative viewpoint I will watch them, and when I am in favor of liberal viewpoints I will go to another channel. Never CNN because they praise the Clintons too much. Most of the time I watch MSNBC even though they are more liberal, but at least they are fair and civil to conservatives.
So I give Fox some credit.
These people would not give Palin credit for a thing.

I give you credit Amanda- you got me thinking and searching
I found some more articles I had not found before.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18635.html
What I'm saying is this (unsure this is coming out right). The US is in desperate times. Never since the depression have we had numbers of unemployment (which are continuing to rise), people losing their homes, people worried how they are going to make their energy bill payment or car payment because they've lost their jobs. How are they going to feed the kids. My dad recently told me that he has started going to the soup kitchen in his town to get his meals. He says he doesn't know how much longer he will survive if the economy doesn't turn around and he can find some work. He's even been talking about traveling to nearby states, but then he said everything he earns would go for the cost of gas to get there, plus they don't even have any jobs. My DH just went to stay with his brother and is looking for work elsewhere because the unemployment and homeless are skyrocketing here. My dad says it's very bad when there is one job and over 200 applicants. My aunt said the same thing, as did my cousin, three brother-in-laws, two sister in laws (out of 14 family members of mine 9 of them are unemployed, and 4 of them lost their jobs after the O took office - they all voted for the O because they said he said he has a plan and would save their jobs). Some have talked about going back to school to get retrained but they said "In what?" They said everything they are looking at is no longer an industry that is hiring and there the market is already saturated with people in the fields they are looking at studying and they have experience. They also said they voted for the O because he talked about getting credit to go to school, but none of them have been able to get that let alone know what to study, and better yet, the courses they would like to take are not being offered anymore because of cutbacks. I am reading newspapers from different cities across the country, getting onto "mycity" pages and reading what people are saying about what it is like where they live. They say how much more is this going to go on. They say the stimulus plan had promised job creation and it does not. And they all say this is not a good time for the President to be hosting weekly cocktail parties no matter how rich he is or no matter how much taxpayers are paying for it. They say a little discretion would be in order, and when (if) this country is turned around, jobs are created, homes are saved, and the American people see some relief then have a big party. But to use our money to host a cocktail parties where the guests are staff members and politicians in WA. is not a good idea. He needs to start showing some compassion/restraint.
I don't care about the superbowl party (everyone has them, why shouldn't he). I don't care about opening the white house for the school children or other good causes. I'm all for "anyone" being able to visit the white house, but our country is in such disarray and is hurting very very badly. This is not the time to be having weekly "cocktail" parties. Get the country back on track like you promised you would, then have your parties.
One thing I read that I admire President Wilson for. He did not have any parties at his 1917 inaugural (therefore I believe he didn't have regular weekly parties either). He stated that "having such festivities while there was a war going on would be undignified".
Our President needs to come back to earth and not be so free with the money so that he can keep partying at a cost to the taxpayers. That is not what we elected him for. We elected him because he had some plans to get us out of this mess and we are seeing none of us. The stimulus plan did not stimulate the economy, the bail-outs, did not bail them out (the bank bail-outs went directly to Dubai, China, and some other country) and some are still asking for more money. We're getting ready for some increased taxes, all while the politicians in Washington party it up.
This is not sending a good message, and even other countries are saying we don't know what the heck we're doing. But all the while crats will praise him up and down and will never find anything wrong with him. Some believe he is the messiah and others refuse to put down the kool-aid. They think its perfectly fine for the Washington crowd to continue to party til the cows come home while the country suffers. That is what I am truly dissapointed and mad about.
(as a side note, this has nothing to do with Bush, how we got into this mess or what. Bush is not controlling the parties, Bush is not controlling the endless (open checkbook) the crats are using. Bush is not forcing Washington to use taxpaper money to fund their parties. This has nothing to do with the past administration. This has everything to do with what is going on today and what will be happening tomorrow).
I will be so glad when 2012 comes.
The 2008 credit has to be paid back (no interest), but not the 2009 credit.

credit for safety = credit for 9/11
If Bush wants takes credit for keeping us "safe" from terrorist attacks since 9/11, then he has to take credit for the fact that we experienced the largest terrorist attack in US history under his presidency, as well. He can't have it both ways!
I gave credit where credit was due.
I think Obama did a good job not saying anything about the hostage situation with the captain and I commend him for giving the order to the Navy Seals to do what they did. But still.....I think the heroes and the biggest thank yous need to go to the ones who risked their necks to save the captain.....and that would be the Navy Seals.
All in all, I don't like a lot of things that Obama has done. I know Bush didn't do us any favors in his 8 years either, but Obama is now in office and I do not like the way our country is heading.
As for not giving Obama any slack....how many of you people gave Bush slack on anything even when he did something good....cuz believe it or not.....he did some good things too. It goes both ways.
Sorry but, to get where you are now as a typist?
!!!!@!!!!sldkdjdlf
I can certainly see why you are the backward typist, poor thing.
nm
and besides you got it backwards
Wilson wrote that piece because the White House was trying to smear him because he wouldn't go along with their pretenses and lies....and when you go against the White House you are bound to lose. Scooter turned out to be the fall guy for this.
So anyway, no use trying to have a "lively debate" when your basic facts are radically different from most liberal's facts.
BY the way, I would suggest for your own mental health that you get out in the world more. You appear to LIVE on this board and spend the better portion of your waking hours reading posts and slamming the posters and cutting and pasting followed by more cutting and pasting.....it is mind-boggling.
You know what backwards? sm
For months you have been sarcastic and spread false info about Obama. It's time now to stand up and admit, your choice lost. Obama did say even before the election that it would take time and maybe 10 years for the economy to turn around. Did you not hear that? I take umbrage to your snide remarks. Your sour grapes are hard to swallow I'm sure, but try to be a good American and give the HONEST MAN with NO AGENDA like OIL AND CRONYISM, a chance.
wow - didn't look backwards to me - nm

BACKWARDS thinking?
Do a little research on McBush before you think he'll do a better job.
It's entirely IRResonsible to elect a 72-year-old bush wannabe with a half-baked right wingnut in the wings as second in line to the still most powerful office in the world.
Like war and paying for REBUILDING SOMEONE ELSE'S COUNTRY instead of your own?
THEN MCBUSH IS YOUR MAN
You've got it backwards!!
.
Yes, our country has gone backwards..
Any sick jackbutt that wants to do harm and get a gun can and always has. They don't get a license! Those of us who have the right to bear arms are the ones people like Obama want to go after. You don't hear him talking about the crime and violence, but instead those of us who want to keep our guns for our own protection. That's because he knows where most of the violence occurs and why. But you'll never hear him stand on a podium and preach that.
Just because he can have bodyguards WITH GUNS protecting his butt doesn't mean I do.
Just wait, he'll have so many criminals dumped back onto our streets it will be frightening.
This is what communist countries do...they take away any power from their people so government can dictate and run them any way they want and the people have no way to even stand up to wrongdoing, even by their own government, which has played itself over and over in this world.
Now all those O lovers can flame all they want. I really do NOT care!!!
it should be.....backwards thinking

Backwards politicians nm
nm
you have it all BACKWARDS, move on!
We all know that politics is a 'dirty' business. You said it yourself.
Why do you attack Obama and not McCain. They all have skeleton in the closet, some more, some less.
Actually, we all do, don't you?
What is that BACKWARDS VOTER?
hahaha
you've got it backwards
your family may face hardships with the bailout but they are nothing compared to what will happen without saving this industry. The failure of the automotive industry will be the final straw in the total destruction of the American economy. 3.5 million being temporarily jobless, as you state, is only the tip of the iceberg. To begin with, those 3.5 million are, for the most part, not the ones responsible. they are simply working people just like you and I who also want to be able to care for their families. Put yourself in their shoes too. Secondly, and more importantly, the domino effect of this would cause millions of others to lose their jobs and benefits. Just think what happens then. Government programs will be caring for all of those people, and all of that will be coming out of YOUR pocket. That's millions of people collecting unemployment and God knows how many other businesses forced to close. And that "temporarily unemployed" statement. Where do you expect these millions of people are going to go to find work? There will be nothing temporary about it. Now factor in the crime that will result from people not being able to affording housing and food and other basic necessities for their families. Add to that the demoralizing effects of this rampant unemployment on society. You really need to look at the bigger picture.
No, you have it backwards. McCain was harping on how...sm
much experience he had and how little Obama had. When he picked Palin and said her experience was sufficient to be president is when all the republicans, and "independents" starting comparing Obama to Palin as far as what the perceive experience to be.
I saw the picture, Kaydie...the B is backwards!
The police have serious doubts about her story, as well. You are very gullible!
Obama has bent over backwards to
The Republicans don't care about everyday people like most of the ones who post on this board. They only care about the richest of the rich. The Republicans are obstructionists and just waste space in DC. It's time they're voted out.
That's 'cause you've got it on backwards. NM
The shapeless part goes in the front...or maybe it's the back. Scrooge it, I guess it doesn't really matter. You ain't going nowhere anyway without yo' man!
Amen! Backwards, could not agree more.nm
nm
backwards as usual, it's because BUSH DVETOED REGULATION sm
My goodness, do you not have any of the facts? I'm finished with you.
Well, I gotta see this. sm
I've been giving the TV a serious rest lately, just plain uninterested in the news lately. I'll check this out if I can catch it.
Thanks.
they gotta have something to say...
I was always told if you can't say something good, then just don't say anything at all...
looks like everybody was not raised that way!
Gotta wonder if you have always been
Did these things bother you AT LEAST AS MUCH as Chicago politics, to which so far Obama has not been directly or indirectly linked in any definitive way.
1) Torture. I think a little detail is in order here to help illustrate my point.
Forcing prisoners to crawl around on the floor while US soldiers rode them like donkeys.
Allowing poisonous snakes to inflict fatal bites on prisoners. In other words, premeditated murder in cold blood.
Stonings.
Shooting prisoners for minor misbehavior
Use of attack dogs.
Sexual abuse of a 16-year-old girl by two interrogators.
Sexual abuse of a 16-year-old son of an Iraqi general who was driven through the cold after he had been showered and who was smeared with mud in order to get his father to talk.
Forcing Moslem women to expose their breasts.
Forcing naked prisoners to have sex with each other.
Guards performing sodomy on boys while audio and video of the act was taped.
Urinating on detainees.
Stripping prisoners and threatening to rape them and their wives.
Blasphemy against Allah. Forcing Moslem prisoners to pray to Jesus.
Smearing feces on prisoners and forcing them to walk a straight line while their ankles were bound.
Severely beating prisoners while they were hooded and bound.
Videotaping and photographing male and female detainees, many times after arranging them in sexually explicit positions, other times forcing them to masturbate.
Keeping prisoners nakes for several days at a time.
Forcing male detainees to wear women's underwear, the ultimate humiliation to Moslem detainees.
Jumping up and down on a pile of naked detainees.
Placing a naked detainee on a MRE Box, with a sandbag on his head, and attaching wires to his fingers, toes, and penis to simulate electric torture.
Placing a dog chain around a prisoner's neck and posing him with a female officer.
Male guard raping female detainee.
Photographing smiling MP guards next to bodies of dead detainees.
Pouring phosphoric liquid on detainees.
Pouring cold water on naked detainees.
Beating detainess with a broom handle and a chair.
Threatening to rape.
2) Extraordinary redention.
3) Gitmo.
4) Dismissal of US atorneys scandal.
5) Valerie Plame.
6) The rest of the 169 PAGES of corruption and controversy links under the Bush Administration listed in Wikipedia.
You have a lot of nerve sending Emma T to the faith board after the countless times the Right-wing fringers abused this board for days and days at a time with their self-righteous indignations, all in the name of God and religion, when all she is tryig to do is express a little JOY, for God's sake.
Gotta wonder....
....what happens if millions of us default on our mortgates? Will the lenders foreclose on all of us? Foreclosure is a lengthy and expensive process, potentially ending in an eviction of you refuse to go quietly. What will they then do with all the houses and nobody to buy them? We all know how quickly vacant buildings deteriorate. Will we have suburban ghost towns?
Same with car payments. If we have mass defaults on car loans, how with the lenders handle all the repo's that will generate? What will they do with millions of repossessed cars?
What happens if millions of us can't pay our taxes? Doesn't have to be a formal tax strike. A lot of us who are ICs don't have taxes withheld. What if the self-employed cannot afford to send the quarterly payments? How many audits and prosecutions can the IRS handle? What will they do with those who are convicted of tax evasion? Will they have to let thousands of murderers and rapists out of the overcrowded prisons in order to put us in, to send a message? Will they be fighting with the banks over who gets first dibs on any assets left over after the house, the car and the big-screen TV are taken?
backwards, you didn't read the post, just the headline PAY ATTENTION
loser
You have that completely backwards, it was President Clinton's administration that had a balance
for the firs time in modern history; not only that, there was a government surplus. George came, and I think you can following the bouncing ball here....trillions of dollars in deficit left behind...talk about rewriting history!!!! I wish people would stop making ludicrous statements without one work to back it up............
You've gotta be KIDDING ME!
"Vital interest": NOT.
"Whether or not the mission was clear": NOT.
Troops "well-equipped": DEFINITELY NOT!
"Whether or not there was an exit strategy" ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
"…take the use of force very seriously… guarded in my approach": NO FRIGGIN’ WAY!
AND FINALLY, THE MOTHER OF ALL "NOTS":
"I would be very careful about using our troops as nation builders."
I gotta agree with you here....
....I also want to see her in interviews.
Gov. Palin is the real deal. She's a natural. I bet she will handle herself with grace under fire, no script, no teleprompter, no uhs, ers, or you knows.
Can't wait.
