I wish I could say I'm shocked, but I'm not. Whenever people tell me Obama is a socialist, I just laugh and say: "Socialist?..hell, he's not even a liberal."
Well, just heard that Obamao is going to allow offshore drilling! About time! And he signed a Presidential Order forbidding federal funding for abortions!! Let's not forget the BILLIONS he's given to the big banks!! GEE I never thought you dems were like this!! And don't forget his deal with BIG PHarma!!! What a guy!!
Hey Troll- when did YOU ever acknowledge facts? Agree that the Bush/Cheney/Rove years created this mess? THAT'S a fact that offends you. Keep the tissuefor yourself- you still can't recover from the last election. Sniffle, sniffle. Now- back under the bridge. and head up your, well, you know where.
WOW, how hateful. Is this more of your lefties version of tolerance?
So Bush was bad. He's gone. Obamao is now taking the Bush agenda and ramping it up to an unbelievable degree.
So keep denying your complicity. I'm sure Bush won't mind you supporting the continuation of his policies. Wait until you see how much the insurance companies will make off of health care reform. You don't think that Big Pharma were the only ones to cut a deal do you?
Might as well give yourself a colonoscopy while you have your head up your ass, as that will be the only one Obamao and the insurance companies are going to let you have.
The Gulf of Mexico has great fishing. Get in your motorized vehicle and drive down to the library and check it out. Fishermen go to the rigs and fish near them.
Sure, none of us knew who Obama was before the election. He had only written one autobiography, one book about his political beliefs,and dozens of speeches. There were only about a dozen biographies, and hundreds of internet documents about his political career, education record, and life history. But if it wasn't on Fox "news", how were we supposed to get that information?
Sorry, I thought there was some question about "who is this guy". I will give you one though, the press did take his autobiography as gospel. I guess Williamson should stop watching so much Fox "news" then, like you say. Then the question wouldn't have to be asked.
Who is this guy? He definitely has rich oil buddies. The price of gas was $2 or less before his oil buddies got him elected. Now the price is approaching $3. This is to say nothing of what he has done for the diesel fuel magnate fraternity of his. The extra 33% goes in Barack's kitty, to be sure.
My what short memories some people have. You may notice that the oil barons made sure the get their profits before their puppet left office. That said, oil prices, like the price of any limited resource that is being used up, can only go up in the long run. The only way oil prices will go down is if we dedicate ourselves to renewable energy, quickly.
Oh come on Bridle, the Bubblybergs can control the price of oil with just a phone call to Rahm Emanuel, just like they did to Dick Cheney's office. That is if they are not in the their Old Executive Building office.
"you have to just takes what you gets." -Jailer Talk about not vetting a candidate, McCain takes the cake with that bimbo, Sarah Palin.She can't name a newspaper or magazine she reads- the answer is obvious. She doesn't read any, yet writes a book? Sure. Can see Russia from her house? Laughable. Quits her political position to make a lot of money? Dependable, no? What a moron, and what a bigger morons McCain and the Republican party are for plucking her from a life of relative obscurity.
Obama and Nancy Pelosi should not be in public office. They have forced us into a healthcare plan to simply get their way. I can not believe this has happened and hope it can and will be stopped by some legal move.
Those who really control the price of oil are the Saudis and other members of the oil cartels. They may keep the price down as long as we suck up to them, and send our children to die protecting their interests. But they are the ones who can bring down our economy if they choose. The problem is, the Saudi princes with whom we have these convenient agreements are old and about to die. Because of their charming cultural habits of multiple wives, and gazillions of children, we don't know exactly which of the fanatic offspring is likely to inherit the monarchy. Bin Ladin, for instance, is a member of the Saudi aristocracy. Those of us who remember the 70's know how quickly it can all turn around.
Pelosi and Obama simply fulfilled the mandate they received when they were elected . We, the majority of Americans, elected Obama in large part, because he promised to get health care reform.
You are so right BB. I used to have some shred of respect for McCaine, but after he tried to saddle us with such a clearly incompetent VP, he destroyed any confidence I might have had in him. How incredibly irresponsible that was.Palin would make a great game show host, but for God's sake and ours, let her not make any important decisions!
In this short day, you have decreed the price of oil is solely controlled by 1. Supply and demand 2. the Bubblyburgs, 3. the Saudis and the oil cartels.
Some of us are disappointed because he is not liberal enough. The others would hate him no matter what he does. If he is teeing off both sides, it is probably a good sign that he is trying to do the right thing, and not be an ideologue.
Reality check; get your reality check right here. The press did not vet her. It was not their job. It was the responsibility of the McCane campaign (I no longer want to spell his name correctly, either.) "Country First"- you MUST be joking!
So in the world of Biker Bard you would take the word of Candidate McCain (or any top of the ticket candidate) concerning their running mate? All that is required is an biography written by the candidate that picked her? The press does not have the job responsibility to discover information about the candidates? You would disagree with anything. You seem almost mindless.
The polls, the newspapers, the news, wake up!!! Listen to people like Glenn Beck, the man has got a grip of what is going on in this country. Talk about someone who would make a great President. It might pay you to listen to Glenn Beck. Here is a man who is very intelligent and has a knowledge of what is going on.

Good question. Wish I had the answer.
No doubt the Prez is nothing but a corporate Fascist Republican in drag!
It was such a shock to hear this news. What about the fishing off the coast of Virginia and the Carolinas?
I wish I could say I'm shocked, but I'm not. Whenever people tell me Obama is a socialist, I just laugh and say: "Socialist?..hell, he's not even a liberal."
I want him to succeed, but DAMN, he's making this difficult!
Well, just heard that Obamao is going to allow offshore drilling! About time! And he signed a Presidential Order forbidding federal funding for abortions!!

Are you happy with Obama and support him, or are you just gloating because we liberals are not happy?
This troll, Wolf's HUHA, just came out to gloat. Didn't see him when Health Care Reform PASSED, did you?
OK, Wolf's HUHA- time for you to go back under the bridge with the other trolls.
Sorry if the facts offend you, I realize how sensitive you are.
Would you like a tissue?

I have no tolerance of trolls. I have no tolerance of a**holes. You are both. Goodbye.

Who is this guy? The press did so little in discovering who this guy is before the election, you have to just takes what you gets.

Yet, there is no way you can say the press did not vet her as was my comment.

Except not enough to spell his name right.
In this short day, you have decreed the price of oil is solely controlled by 1. Supply and demand 2. the Bubblyburgs, 3. the Saudis and the oil cartels.
You're right; I don't even respect McCwhatyamacallit enough to care about spelling his name correctly.
Saudis supply, we demand. Builderburgs rig the game to get as much money and power as they can. Our kids die for oil. What's your confusion?
I guess you have no respect for the BILDERBERGS either. I guess you were not part of the Annenberg Challenge.
The majority of Americans are disappointed. You will see in November
Some of us are disappointed because he is not liberal enough. The others would hate him no matter what he does. If he is teeing off both sides, it is probably a good sign that he is trying to do the right thing, and not be an ideologue.
You got me.
Palin knew the correct spelling of Bilderberg and Haliburton without ever reading a single newspaper.
Worst:
And you offer as proof....just what? "The majority of Americans..." your proof? Really, now!
Reality check; get your reality check right here. The press did not vet her. It was not their job. It was the responsibility of the McCane campaign (I no longer want to spell his name correctly, either.) "Country First"- you MUST be joking!

Jailer:
There is a big difference between "finding information" and "candidate vetting." Do you really need instruction in this?
Glenn Beck for President? OMFG!
That last Annonymous was me. I'm still figuring out the new layout at WW. BTW, it's a great improvement. Thanks, JW!
