How will the Obama true-believers rationalize THIS ONE away? Like Rev. Wright - just pretend it didn’t happen / it doesn’t matter / so what, everybody does it? Or will they come up with something just a tad more creative to explain how their pure-as-the-driven-snow candidate is just another politician lapping up cash by the boatload & using it to tell us how swell he is?

Here’s one for ya, kids - why doesn’t Obama use some of those HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to help the:

1 - poor,
2 - victims of predatory lenders,
3 - folks without health care, or
4 - jobless workers whose jobs went overseas?

I mean, really, couldn’t he spend just a TINY BIT of those hundreds of millions of dollars to help someone besides himself? And don’t even go there with some nonsense about how he has to get elected so he can help all of us. Bill Clinton’s already done that schtick & it didn’t fly then either.
And really don’t go there with how he’s not legally able to spend this money on folks who really need it (as opposed to, say, political consultants and advertising agencies) ’cause all he’s got to say is: “Please, folks, I’m very grateful to your for your incredible generosity but I’ve got all I need to save the country from the Evil Republicans come November - so why don’t you all send your donations to organizations and agencies that will use it to help those who are truly in need.”

Answer me that one, kids.

I Might Be Showing Her My O Face asked:


Let’s do a little math here, Obama is 47, let’s assume he finished school at 25, that leaves 22 years in his career to date. How many of those years were spent in the private sector, where payrolls have to be made by profit and not taxation, where owners risk capital in the hopes of earning a return, stuff like that?

Obama’s people have spent $800,000 defending him in lawsuits, and a copy of your original birth certificate costs $10-12. What is he hidiing? Please obama put it to rest - release your birth certificate.

Chase Them With The Truth asked:


President Obama jacked up deficit spending in a HUGE way by pushing for and signing the $787B so-called stimulus package. Last week he spent over a trillion dollars. Now today he speaks about cutting the deficit in half.

Usually the problem with big organizations, big corporations and government bureaucracies alike, is that the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. Now we have that problem within the same person…

What gives?

I love Obama 3.75 asked:


Once again he blames others and places blame on others, he takes no responsibility for himself. Why not set the example and spend conservatively on the inauguration. He criticized McCain for asking the people on his staff who could afford it to work for $1. Now, since people are finally admitting his economic plan will not work, this is what he does just more pandering and nothing getting done.

This is crazy… if he is the agent of change why point the finger at other people to justify what he is doing? He spent 170million and you say so Bush did it too, but that is a lie. We are in an economic downturn. Why did Obama not do as he promised and conserve? I thought he was the agent of change?

New_World_Order asked:


Currently, about 10% of the money the treasury pays out goes to paying interest on the debt. If you jack the debt from 10 trillion to 20 trillion as the GAO says Obama’s spending will, the amount of money American’s pay to service the debt could easily reach 30% or more in 10 years. Why not just nuke America now and get it over with?

dales son asked:


I’m a conservative and I recognize that Bush helped the national debt go up. But why does Obama think that he can spend his way out of a bad economy. That’s what got us into a bad economy, spending money that we don’t have.
