What's next, "Obama request repeal of Voting Rights Act"?
Or maybe, "Obama appoints Carla Hills as Secretary Of Labor". What the hell is our next kick in the nuts?

2. "Obama calls for a repeal of the minimum wage"
White House says it hurts small businesses and really only applies to teenagers working summer jobs anyway.

4. Ugh. Read more than you post. It does a body good...
Obama's education budget would spare Pell grants, increase spending 11% overall

5. That's not going to fix the economy, bring jobs back, and end the suffering.
Obama is now embracing repuke policies and moving to the right on trade, tort reform, taxes, regulations, spending, etc.. As Harry Truman once said, "A republican running as a republican will beat a democrat running as a republican every single time".

7. I remember listening to him on the radio back in the early 1950s.
We didn't have a television back then, so our entertainment was radio and reading.

10. Holy shit...
I feel like I just stepped into FOX News Underground....

It may be time for me to stop coming here and go where there is rational thought, no knee jerk reactions to things, an understanding how governing works, an understanding that Obama is not a king, has to deal with a congress, and an appreciation for everything Obama has done so far (www.whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com).

I know where to go: ----->http://blackwaterdog.wordpress.com/

17. I guess Obama never said......
he was supporting those leftover trade deals from Bush? He and Timmy Boy never said anything about more tax breaks for corporations. Obama never caved in on tax breaks for the billionaires. Obama never appointed scumbag Alan Simpson to his Cat Food Commission. It's all a figment of my imagination. Obama is better than FDR and JFK combined!

can't blame 'em, it's hard to accept what has happened to america, easier to focus on the shiny little objects tossed out for us to oggle at

15. Yes yes, it's all very complicated
We just wouldn't understand. To be honest with you, I'm so stupid I can barely make it through the day without forgetting not to eat paste or hit myself in the head with a hammer. Thank goodness I have you.
