Posted on September 10, 2010 at 11:51amObama really needs to get some economic sense along with his chronies. At the very least he needs to go to at least a High School economics class, not at a public school, but a private one to make sure he get the proper information. Also he should be tutored by Thomas Sowell on the side, then he can‘t say he’s a victum for not passing because he was being discriminated against.

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 11:48amI just can’t watch him any more. Seems that he’s always lying. How do I know this? Because his lips are always moving!
Report Post »Now I wait till after his speeches and listen to the commentators from Fox instead, cause I just can’t take looking or listening to him anymore.
Praying for our republic to return to its roots. November can’t come soon enough.

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 12:58pmThe worse part is he knows he is lying and he knows we know he’s lying, and he continues to do it.
He is the first President in my life that I refuse to watch. I can’t stand his lying, blaming, and everything is “the number 1 thing we are focused on” or “the top of our agenda”. How many number 1‘s are there and isn’t the top, the top?
Maybe it’s dumbazz me, another stupid American.

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 4:11pmWell camurd, that could be part of a ploy also. I guess I better watch and here it all. If sopmeone knows your not paying attention, then they can slip thing by you without you knowing it. Remember, “Read the Bill! Why is everyone saying, Read the Bill?”

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 11:35amHow about we go back and learn history Mr. Obama. In 1920‘s when it became the roaring 20’s, because of tax cuts and spending decrease. More taxes got collected then, because more money was spent. This Socialist way of spend ur way out of debt don’t work. The thing is Mr. Obama, one day your going to run out of other peoples money to spend.

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 11:34amObama just spoke to the American people in his live coverage as a third party. Referred to us as the Americans, what does that say? I think that says it all.

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 11:33amSide note:
Today Obama has only gray at temples; on GMA the other day he had no gray; prior to that on many occassions he had signifigant gray running throughout….
I have watched this for two years – part of the Obama stagecrafting…. Might need to start a pool to place bets prior to each event – WHAT LEVEL OF GREY WILL WE HAVE FOR THIS ONE???
When he suddeningly appeared gray early in his presidency – I thought it was obvious that his make up people added the gray to give him “gravistas” for the meeting, given his lack of experience….. And now that it comes and goes, depending on the speech and event – I am convinced it is stagecraft.
Just a little fun observation, not a distraction from the bigger lies, smoke, and mirrors.

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 11:26amPROPAGANDA!!!!!
None of this CRAP will work!!! It was done in the late 50′s, early 60′s! Check out Ayn Rand – Capitalism, The Unknown Ideal!
The Government can not CREATE WEALTH! All they do is DESTROY IT or RE-DISTRIBUTE IT!
We need is laissez-faire capitalism, the economic system which best allows man to create, trade and prosper. As our country loses its hard earned freedom to the increasing powers of the state, we must remember that freedom is an absolute. You are either free or you are not. As Aristotle said simply “A is A.” Now, more than ever, we must stand together to protect our inalienable rights.
GOD!!! NO MORE BIG GOVERNMENT AND REGULATIONS!!! JESUS!!! This guy is an EPIC FAILURE!!! End the Fed Reserve, CFR, IMF, NWO, UN, ETC, ETC!!!
