i agree. none of these guys mean any personal harm to people. it's the policies we need to focus on. i really hope the dems don't fvck up our country. i'd love it if they're right. i have serious doubts though. japan tried this, and failed. the japanese are smarter than us, and they still failed.

This country is already fvcked up, the economy is messed up, we are at war, and a plane was crashed into the towers, none of this stuff happend when Clinton was President. Obama is just trying to clean up the mess that was made.

Its obvious. When we dont have money, lets spend more.

Makes perfect sense, right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Why does every single black person hate every single Republican, especially Bush?

So the answer to overspending is more overspending?

I love how people also forget that 2 years ago our economy was booming.

Look what happened when Reagan went into office for his 2nd term. The economy had one of the biggest jumps it ever has.

When you cut spending, cut taxes, and let the free market do its thing, good things happen. Supply and demand will sort things out. No "stimulus".

I love everyone. Just didnt trust Bush or agree with his decisions. Also didn't like Farenheit 911.

Most of the things you dislike Bush for werent his fault/decision.

The housing market fell through because of liberal policies and horrible judgement making by those who passed the bill. You can thank Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd for that one.

No war while Clinton was in office? What about Desert Storm? Why does everyone hate Bush for invading Iraq, but forgets that Clinton fought a war in Iraq as well?

Also, how is some Islamic extremists attacking our country Bush's fault? Clinton had Bin Laden many times, but never did a thing about it.

come on. clinton had just as many bad mistakes as bush did. clinton's tax policy sucked the first 2 years. it took the republicans in congress to get him to see the light. it was called the gingrich revolution. bush was more liberal than clinton. funny thing, with the exception of the war, he would be a democrat.

All the liberals say we need to keep American jobs. They complain that all the jobs are going overseas. You can thank Clinton, when he signed into law basically free trade with anyone.

If anything, congress has more power than the President. When Bush was in office it was a good mix with a Republican president, and Democratic congress. That is a good seperation of power.

Now with Obama, Biden, and Pelosi running the country with absolutely unchecked power, anything they say goes. Even if the people of the USA dont agree or want it, they can still pass it, with basically no restrictions. Why do you think this bill passed?

There should be a system of checks and balances and right now there just isnt. Its a scary thing. Its wouldnt be as bad if Republicans controled everything like the Dems do now, since they would just take government out of the equation.

I dont see the problem people have with a capitalist society?

Nobody will stop outsourcing until Americans are willing to work for what Indians, Chinese, Mexicans, etc do.

Obama's "3k for every business that hires an American" plan is laughable at best
