Obama Speech
 
We are going to cure cancer in his time? WTF?

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 08:45 PM

Health care reform in less than one year.

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 08:49 PM

High school drop outs are quitters and have quit on this country.

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 08:52 PM

We should not pass on to our children a debt they cannot pay.

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 08:53 PM

"the debit we inherited"

Contributed to by Clinton's policies. (he forgot that part as the Demoncrats wet themselves)

classicman 02-24-2009 08:59 PM

Merc - so far he is right on most every account. What is your point?

morethanpretty 02-24-2009 09:05 PM

That's neither surprising nor unbelievable to me. Cancer's days are numbered.

lol - that was the one I thought he was wrong on.

Actually, I think it was a somewhat up lifting speech, if you believe the smoke and mirrors.

I thought it was a pretty amazing speech, unlike Bobby Jindal's response, which was completely idiotic and uninspiring.

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 09:44 PM

Obama's speech was filled with rhetoric he cannont achive. He knows it, and people who heard it know it.

Show us the jobs dude or STFU.

I will be sure to link you to this post in 6 months. If we are on track and things have turned around and all these people are working I will take you to dinner. :D

Go ahead. If only you had done that with republican pricks who have been in power for years. But, you didn't. You never did. All you have ever done is criticize "demoncrats." And I have known you for a pretty long time Merc.

At least Obama is trying to take us in another direction, one that is not controlled by corporate greed and questionable ethics.

I am pretty sure people were working then.

Oh, and the deficit was less than half of what it is now.

WTF are you TALKING about? This crisis happened BEFORE Obama was elected. And when your hero bush took office, the budget was balanced and there was a surplus. Who ruined that? Where were the republicans when bush was destroying the deficit? Where was their outrage then? The ONLY reason why Obama is doing this, is because he HAS TO, because of fucking republican policy of tax cuts for rich people, while engaging in costly wars and no bid contracts, and STUPID, wasteful legislation.

Stop drinking the acid. Mr. Natural ain't going to change the facts. No matter how much you want to spin it. This has very little to do with Bush. Your thinking would be akin to saying I have a shit load of credit card bills, maybe I should increase my limit and get more cards to pay off the ones I have and get more shit since I am spending money. This is the largest spending bill in history. My kids will be paying for your bailout.

sugarpop 02-24-2009 10:12 PM

:rolleyes: yea, the recession (coming possible depression) is ALL Obama's fault. good grief. Talk about drinking the koolaid...

Ok, show me how Bush caused the housing bubble, lending crisis, bad loans, greedy bankers and lenders to make bad loans, stupid ass poor people that thought they could flip a house and bought more than they could ever afford, over credited, over bought and lost or about to lose every thing they have.

I'm in. GO!

Not what I said.

Only that the Demoncrats own the "economic spending package" if it fails and crashes our economy.

Aliantha 02-24-2009 10:22 PM

Your economy is going to crash either way Merc. Obama can only do so much to lessen the pain when it all comes down to it...the same with most other governments around the world.

Undertoad 02-24-2009 10:22 PM

I am not sure about that. I at least hope not. I hope everyone digs in equally in their own little sphere and makes things right for themselves and then maybe the pain will not be so bad. I don't have high hopes for the world doing anything but blaming the US for most of the problems. it is just the nature of our times.

Aliantha 02-24-2009 10:26 PM

The US happens to have the driving economy so of course other nations are going to be affected by what happens in the US. As far as blame goes, I don't know about that.

I think it's just a cycle. There'll be another boom before too long.

If I had my way we would cut off all financial aid to anyone not attached to our physical border for a period of 1 to 5 years until we get our own house in order. Everyone else can fend for themselves.

Aliantha 02-24-2009 10:32 PM

I think spending on financial aid is probably one of the smaller bills your gov has to pay. In any case, that's not likely to happen for a plethora of reasons, and you don't need me explaining them to you.

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 10:34 PM

I was not clear. Financial aid to any country not Canada or Mexico.

Aliantha 02-24-2009 10:34 PM

I got that.

Instead of dinner you could just throw yourself down a long flight of stairs. That gesture would be much more appreciated. Thanks.

Aliantha 02-24-2009 10:45 PM

Oh excellent. A sock puppet.

It's always nice when people go in disguise in order to insult others.

I beat cancer in my lifetime. I whipped it's little ass so don't tell me what is possible and what isn't.

So there.

DanaC 02-25-2009 05:01 PM

'Cure for cancer' is a little vague, no? Given that there are a myriad different types and causes of cancer. Some cancer is treatable.

Now they're talking about a glass of red wine a day increasing the risks of three types of cancer and helping prevent two other types.

sugarpop 02-28-2009 10:56 PM

So did anyone hear Rush Limbaugh's speech at CPAC? Jesus.

It was a great speech. It was just filled with bullshit and promises he can never complete. Smoke and mirrors, just like any presidential speech before Congress. The simpletons enjoy hearing any president tell them what they want to believe.

And the simpletons have a pretty large say over your future.

Isn't that a scream?

Its been an interesting spectacle to observe from afar.

Joe the Plumber, the lead off hitter, saying he doesnt see anybody as a leader in the Republican Party right now but he would vote for Palin.

Throw in Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin to really get the juices flowing among the old white guys in the crowd.

Then Newt steps up to the plate and says the Republican party need to be a party of new ideas and not just the naysayers....then offers a "new idea" of tax cuts for the rich as the solution to the economic crisis.

Rush, the clean-up hitter, swats Newt aside....fuck you, Newt..who needs ideas, we just want Obama to fail....and the fans go wild!
