The Minow family is reshaping America.

First, I do not HATE Barry. He's a phony that got elected on mostly a FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH (even though Bush was out of the picture) and a shitload of dirty foreign money.

Barry has never done anything of note. Never really worked for a living. There is speculation that he didn't even write his books he made so much from.

He has enviable record of voting "present". I guess that qualifies him in your eyes.

Why do you think SO highly of someone with no track record? White guilt?

My two black neighbors agreed with Jesse Jackson about cutting his nuts off. My neighbors work for a living, have never been divorced and raised good kids. THey do NOT fit into the "typical downtrodden black American" picture you liberal socialists want them to.

nope, Common sense. Like I said before, he 'gets' the seriousness of a few issues facing the nation in a way no other politician seems to. Another who does is a former Senator from New Jersey, Bill Bradley, who probably gets it far better. Sadly, he has the public persona of a dish-towel and never got anywhere when he tried to run for President. He was, however, a hell of a basketball player.

odd. I don't recall ever painting such a picture, and never would. It's about rich and poor, and the fact that most of those who think themselves to be 'middle class' are hurtling toward the 'poor' category at warp speed. And, no, that isn't because of 'big government' or 'socialism' or 'liberals'.

You nailed it Wullie, white guilt. Slick's relatives owned slaves. Mine didn't though, no white guilt here. And since mine didn't own them, it automatically makes them better people than Slick's relatives.

My understanding of one of Barry's ways to tackle problems is by appointing a turd to oversee the obamerama health care show who has publicly stated for the record that the ONLY way to make health care work is take money from the rich and give it to the poor.

What a guy!!

As for personality? Barry has the personality of a small soap dish. His handler's are quite adept at hiding it.

sometimes(see Interstate Highway system, Space Exploration) you have to borrow money to invest in ways that will expand the economy.

Well NASA have been cut for their planned manned moon mission and a ranch of other things they wanted to do so i dont think he is serious aboot space exploration

I was giving historical examples, Fatman. We borrowed heavily at a time of existing debt to build the Interstate system, and later to build NASA. Both investments resulted in a long-term boost in commerce and in the case of NASA, technical innovation. What Obama is proposing is restoring the physical infrastructure, including modernizing mass transit, coupled with a push for 21st century energy technologies. Can I, or anyone, guarantee that such investments will yield huge results over the long-term? No, but letting the nation crumble to shit and letting India, China, Japan et al jump to the forefront of alternative energy can't bode well, either.

3. DTV Advertising Agency Generates Three Jobs ($5.9 million)
An advertising agency that ultimately reported little job creation received a multi-million dollar contract to help the government overcome a poorly managed transition to digital television, only to report three jobs created.

5. Water Pipeline to a Money-Losing Golf Course ($2.2 million)
A $2.2 million stimulus grant will help pay for new pipes to pump recycled water to the Sharp Park Golf Course in San Francisco, California. Unfortunately, the golf course may not exist for much longer. The City Council is considering closing the public course over concerns for the California red-legged frog and the San Francisco garter snake that live in the area.

33. Study on “Hookup” Behavior of Female College Coeds ($219,000)
The National Institute of Health (NIH) is using stimulus funds to pay for a year-long $219,000 study to follow female college students for a year to determine whether young women are more likely to ―hookup — the college equivalent of casual sex — after drinking

56. Homeland Security Funds Assist Boat Tours of Alcatraz ($50,783)
A ferry service that once contracted for the federal government will receive over $50,000 in stimulus homeland security grants, despite no longer doing any work for the government.

Dont get me wrong im sure there would have to be some good proprams in there but there is way to much crap like this, especially the first one
