I would only imagine that she's lapping up all the attention as well.  I have no faith she can run this country and I never thought he would have picked a woman.  Obama/Biden...  Looking better and better.

Oh and the pic of his shoes with holes just shows he's a hard worker and does not squander money in my opinion.  Also, some workers at my hubs place of employment purposefully wear holey shoes to show they need a raise.  If management says something about the holes in the shoes, they answer with when they get a raise; gotta eat first!  Maybe Obama really is for the working class!

..."If you don't like living in America, then leave."  I guess that option would no longer be open.  This all seems to be going on right in front of us.  Maybe that's one of the reasons we have U.S. troops stationed in the United States now, to "control" those of us who never agreed, voted or signed on to this "deal."

There might be no escape from the one-world government, but I did come upon one very unique way to leave this earth. 

(To the MOON, Alice!)

Waa, I'm Muslim, nobody likes meWaa, I have terrorist associations so nobody will vote for meWaa, I wanna take everyone's money and redistribute it evenly (that's like restarting Monopoly because you're losing)

Then, when I win, we can have a big pity party!!!!

• The Federal Reserve, which slashed interest rates after the dot-com bubble burst, making credit cheap.
  
  
  
• Home buyers, who took advantage of easy credit to bid up the prices of homes excessively.
  
  
  
• Congress, which continues to support a mortgage tax deduction that gives consumers a tax incentive to buy more expensive houses.
  
  
  
• Real estate agents, most of whom work for the sellers rather than the buyers and who earned higher commissions from selling more expensive homes.
  
  
  
• The Clinton administration, which pushed for less stringent credit and downpayment requirements for working- and middle-class families.
  
  
  
• Mortgage brokers, who offered less-credit-worthy home buyers subprime, adjustable rate loans with low initial payments, but exploding interest rates.
  
  
  
• Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who in 2004, near the peak of the housing bubble, encouraged Americans to take out adjustable rate mortgages.
  
  
  
• Wall Street firms, who paid too little attention to the quality of the risky loans that they bundled into Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), and issued bonds using those securities as collateral.
  
  
  
• The Bush administration, which failed to provide needed government oversight of the increasingly dicey mortgage-backed securities market.
  
  
  
• An obscure accounting rule called mark-to-market, which can have the paradoxical result of making assets be worth less on paper than they are in reality during times of panic.
  
  
  
• Collective delusion, or a belief on the part of all parties that home prices would keep rising forever, no matter how high or how fast they had already gone up.
  

The U.S. economy is enormously complicated. Screwing it up takes a great deal of cooperation. Claiming that a single piece of legislation was responsible for (or could have averted) the crisis is just political grandstanding. We have no advice to offer on how best to solve the financial crisis. But these sorts of partisan caricatures can only make the task more difficult.

I have gas heat, and so does my daughter.

Your mother is fortunate to have you and your sisters to help her.  Makes me worry about all the elderly people barely scraping by on Social Security who have no family.  I guess they and the other poor people are just considered to have no value and are disposable.  I guess someday I'll be disposable, as well.

I totally agree with what Putin said.  Of ALL the places in the world to force change upon, the Middle East is probably the worst one!  Change does have to come from within.  Their culture is so different from ours, and I believe we should respect all cultures that are different from ours.  Sometimes I wonder who would win an election in Iraq if Saddam was suddenly back on the ballot. When Bush debated Gore in 2000, Bush claimed to be against nation building (though he said Cheney was in favor of it, which leads me to believe that Cheney really IS running the administration, as has often been alleged).

I always watch closely when Putin and Bush have press conferences.  Putin should be called Pukin because he's always got this look of disgust on his face, as if he's about to run out of patience with Bush and his idiocy. 

I remember when we first began to brag that the Cold War is over.  I always thought that was a stupid thing to say, because it's never over till it's over.  History will be the judge of that.  I often wondered how a country full of people who were accustomed to having their vital needs met by their government as a RIGHT, rather than a privilege, could possibly survive in the dog-eat-dog, sometimes unscrupulous atmosphere of capitalism.  As far as I know, Putin isn't all that enamored with capitalism, and I'm just waiting for Russia to once again become communistic or maybe socialistic.  I guess time will tell. 

They come over here and pretend to be holier than thou and then run back to the Conservative board and trash us.  Go read it.  It's quite amusing.  While you're at it, why not read the entire board and count the number of civil posts that seem to be written by someone over the age of 5.  You don't have to hurry, though, because all their juvenile hateful tirades will be there forever and will never be deleted.

You should probably read the posts on this board first, because as we've all seen during this week, they stand a good chance of being deleted.  As has been demonstrated on the Liberal board, you're permitted to have your freedom of opinion and expression......as long as it's the "right" one.

I guess the radical dems on this board (not the regular, respectful, nonbashing dems) will never listen to reason or a participate in a good debate because they know they are right always and forever, no matter what the subject.....what kind of democracy is that?  NOT.

Outraged that a handful of Republican politicians would sell out American troops to a bunch of terrorists, even in a symbolic gesture.  Outraged that their lives should be used in a political stunt.  This is very frustrating for me.  I think our lawmakers should support our troops in every way possible, and I believe it's unacceptable to agree to amnesty for anyone who kills our troops. 

We have already far exceeded our budget to the limit because of this needless personal war of George W. Bush.  We provided Iraqis with free medical care.  We will be supplying them with countless more money for decades to come.  Our troops continue to be killed and wounded.  I don't care what the political stakes are.  Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should their lives be used as pawns any more than they already have been.  For God's sake, don't they deserve the support (regardless of how symbolic it is) from ALL members of the party that sent them there?

I posted comments by two lawmakers regarding this, but you didn't choose to address the content of what I posted.  I've noticed that happens a lot on these boards.  When someone posts anything questioning another's viewpoint, particularly if they corroborate their views, instead of debating the issue, all they do is become indignant, call names and then pretend to leave.  If that's your communication style preference, you'd feel right at home on the Conservative Board. 

I asked you to enlighten me.  Instead of doing so, you became angry, called me rude, picked up your toys and left the playground.

I'm asking you again to enlighten me because nowhere did I see it written that this is to take effect once we leave.  Please provide a link to that effect.  If you'd like to debate the issue, please do so.  I agree with Harold Ford that this was nothing more than a stunt.  Do you think this will boost the morale of our soldiers?  What are your views?  Please share them.  Or not.

Your choice.

You don't touch strangers like that and you don't make comments about their muscles or lack thereof.  He should know better. 

Let us hope that when Obama and Biden sit down to talk to terrorists that Biden doesn't reach over and tug on Obama's beard and tell him he needs a trim or shave.  LOL!
