saying he invented the internet, huh? So you're not even informed? He NEVER said that. That's something right-wingers spread around. He said he help moved the initiatives forward, and he absolutely did. Look it up for a change rather than taking Rush's word for it. Here's the snopes link:

And all the scientists in the whole world agree with Gore about global warming. It's a fact and happening. Do you know what's happening with the polar ice caps? Stick your head in the sand. I have no patience or respect for those who refuse to inform themselves & just take the word of people like Rush or O'Reilly, etc.

You said you bought it three years ago.
How does that make it a rental? And don't mobile homes depreciate in value instead of appreciate? Still makes no sense. 
That's how he bought his house......
With the money paid on his book deals.....yes, frugal by choice and probably habit. If I got that much of an advance on my books, the first thing I'd do is buy a gorgeous house in a nice neighborhood to raise my kids.
Screw them if they bought more than
they could afford or were too stupid to read the paperwork. My mortgage is paid every month (early with extra $$ towards principal). We were approved for a $500,000 loan and bought a house that was $180,000 that suits us just fine. Too bad some people were not better prepared (or shouldn't have been able) to be homeowners; it's not the gov'ts fault.
Yep! America will probably be bought
by another country. I stated that before on this post months ago.
Should look at the link above about "DID YOU KNOW? Scary."
Well, I guess a majority of the country WANTED CHANGE and we are going to get it, even though the ones who voted did not not know what the change would be.
Actually, I bought it during the election last time....
from a local democrat group who was using them regarding Bush. But Bush's name is not on the sign. It is generic, a money saver for them I guess, they can use them any time a Repub president is in the white house. lol.
This election was bought and paid for by
My daught bought a home right off of
Jimmy Carter Blvd so you know about where she lives. Had a problem with crowing rooster 1 morning, said to be expected.
Yeah, right. Guess you bought into the lie
Just send me a check.
Guess you haven't read the real news. There was no surplus.
Maybe that is why China bought Hummer?

You bought the bull, horns and all, didn't ya?
First of all, 96,000,000 Americans don't even PAY taxes. That's 44%. Those people are going to be given WELFARE checks, not tax cuts. (Because, duh, you can't pay less than zero!)
So tell me, how can Saint Obama cut taxes for 95% of America when only 56% of America pays taxes in the first place?
Answer:
He's L-Y-I-N-G to you, dipstick.
I never meant where he bought his house specifically, but...
if I could afford a really nice ranch with an amazing barn, you can bet your behind I would be there, as I am sure you all would buy your dream house, as well, regardless of what you are saying here. I don't really buy into the whole "I would continue to live just where I do" frap. At least I am honest. And, no, money can't buy happiness, but I don't bet that it hurts to have a nice house either. What is it that you find so offensive about living in a nice neighborhood?
Granted, there are people who bought more house.....sm
than they could afford, but there are also people who are now unemployed through no fault of their own who would benefit from this measure. Like my dear old friend often says...."There but by the grace of God go I."
Sorry, these aren't bought and paid for crowds!!

Bought a Dell computer straight from sm
the company a year ago and no way would I buy another one that way! I might go to Best Buy where they have the Geek Squad right on the premises. If you call Geek Squad on the phone, you get somebody in India or better yet I got someone over in Japan!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't understand a thing he was saying. The tech support is rude and nasty. Only if I could go through Best Buy and get my service at GS right in the store, would I buy another Dell Other than that, forget it!!!!!!!!!!
China! Guess who bought Hummer?
I bet China and every other country is really laughing at us.
Question for you all about the dishes bought at the White House
How do you feel about it? I feel its bad timing no matter who the buyer was since the economy is in such a state right now even though the money was donated to the Historical Society to buy them. I know they can do whatever they want with it but it just seems so wrong to me when so many Americans are hurting.
I was reading some on another site and one person made the comment that it would look bad on the US if they had to eat on mismatched plates at their big dinners...and yes she was serious. That comment just doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't it look worse on the US when their are Americans loosing their homes and living on the streets or in cars and not even knowing where their next meal will come from let alone whether or not they even have a plate to eat it on.
There are just some things that just make me want to go huh?
Look, I don't care if Obama's inaugaration party is costing 21 million, but in the light of where our economy is right now, do you think it's a good idea? I mean, can't you have a good party for around 10 million? This is NOT a political question. I'm not attacking Obama, it's more of an economic question.
They have bought into Bush's propaganda hook-line-and sinker.
"If you are not with us, then you are with the terrorist." - pres Bush
That's why anytime they hear an adverse opinion to Bush's war in Iraq, they start their spill about liberals being with the terrorists.
Tests can be thrown, college admissions bought and sold
Since when can IQ be extrapolated from SAT test scores? I'd appreciate a source citation so I can read up on that, unless you are going on those lame IQ test websites that have assigned W, O and Michelle's IQ all at 125. Fact is, brilliant people have been known to score low on SAT for a variety of reasons so that argument is not terribly convincing.
I'm going strictly on such measures as butchery of his native tongue, i.e., inability to form more than monosyllabic 6-word sentences without a teleprompt or cue cards, how challenged he is to complete a whole thought and his dependence on behind-the-scenes heavyweights to engineer his campaigns and run his presidency, just to name a few.
W was denied admission to St. John's Academy (HS) and UT School of Law. This does not happen for no reason. His distinguishing accomplishment at his Dad's alma mater was joining the secret society of the Skull and Bones brotherhood. I'm a firm believer that strings were pulled on his behalf (as they were on so many other occasions) to get him into the ivy league track, unlike Obama, who did it the old-fashioned way (scholastic achievement) when he transferred to Columbia and was ultimately admitted to Harvard, where he graduated magna cum laude.
Bush does have an impressive record of failing at almost everything he every tried to do before (and after) his political career: In abstentia service in the National Guard, bombed election bid for the Texas House of Representatives in 1978, and an oil company that went bust which he left under a cloud of suspicion of insider trading. He did manage to capitalize on his 5-year dalliance with the Texas Rangers baseball team (could't really call what he did there REAL work) just long enough to get good name recognition for his run for gov and make a profitable sale of his shares in the team.
This less than stellar performance was totally eclipsed by the multitude of screw-ups while in office, way too much to get into in the confines of this forum. Bottom line for me is that his behavior and performance is very uninspiring, less than mediocre and not at all suggestive of much in the way of creativity or intellect....in other words, the polar opposite of the O. Hence the statement, IQ is good for the country. The wisdom angle was somebody else's attempt to side-step the issue of W's stupidity.
