A Complete Waste of Space

Speaking of "aiming"?
Biden suggests White House could act without Congress as part of gun control plan

Please explain how?
"it sure isn't the same one you claim to see."

Standing by...(Actually trying to figure out my Cpu Temps on my new 8 core)

CUDA posted this already, elsewhere....as I told him(and discounting Faux News as any sort of valid source of info) I suspect any Presidential actions will be far short of threatening the Second amendment. However, the Commerce department can have a HUGE say in the sale of firearms, and I suspect that is where they are headed. Which is good, because that is the bulk of the problem of easy availability. Further, ordering stringent enforcement of all present laws by ATF, TO THE LETTER, will be a good thing as well that the President can accomplish.

callmeslick wrote:what is hilarious, as I put it on another board, is that Obama is probably closest to Dwight Eisenhower than to any other President. He shares his long term view of economy, his views on excessive military/industrial spending, international involvement, and the need for deficit spending to make the nation stronger over the long haul. Yet, the loons on the right wish to project onto him the silly stuff such as Pud lays out above. Stunning. And wrong.

Didn't Obama tell Boehner that "we don't have spending problem"? You can't reduce the debt without reducing spending, and Obama has no interest in reducing spending.

watch them drop the Pentagon budget. What do you think Hegel signed on to help with? Given that the Pentagon is nearly half of all spending, that is THE place to look, as opposed to hurting poor, sick or otherwise helpless fellow citizens.

HALF!? You mean 20%?

Now now Barfly...it just plain rude to throw facts at Slick.
You need to express your feelings more...use verbiage like this:

It's all he understands or is capable of relating to....

It's inconsiderate...given, the mental/emotional limitations, that Slick imposes upon himself and others...for anybody, like you or me to attempt a factual/verifiable conversation with him. When you compound it with math and links? It's just down right abusive, which explains? Why he gets so frustrated and results to name calling and being so evasive.

I'm really starting to think that Slick was named after wax paper?
When it gets hot?
He runs too.

sorry for the lack o' clarity, barfly. I meant half of discretionary spending. Debt payments, social security and medicare obligations aside, Defense is 50% of what's left.

nice post, Res, for those who seem to have forgotten what a true, great Republican stood for.

The good news in that?
Biden will turn into a Nixon....

probably not. But, Biden is closer to the old moderate GOP than anyone in the current GOP leadership. If, indeed, you wish to describe anyone in that latter group as capable of leading anything.

At any rate, it's fun watching you all(Pud and Barfly referred to here) wring your hands and place your personal insecurities onto Obama. It must be comforting to keep following the same delusion for 4 years in a row. No matter that Obama has won re-election, done a very creditable job overall, and gradually managed to win over more and more of the middle ground of American politics. You fellas just go right ahead with wringing your hands in fear,
looking for missteps in every routine political situation and predicting the horrible fate of the US in Obama's hands. The rest of us will do just fine, thanks.



just a little "for instance": I note from today's statement, that my investment account is up over 5% since August. Oh, gawd, the doom the economy will face under Obamacare! Seems the Stock and Bond markets disagree.......

Wringing hands, wringing hands, yes. You got that part right. Your post would overall have been more accurate if your emoticon had horns on it....

Glad you're able to financially immunize yerself from Obama's great plan.
Regular folks don't have that advantage and as a consequence, are suffering for it.

As in those folks working at Wendy's?...No health care and fewer work hours for less pay. Any who, glad yer making it. They deserve what they....don't get or are unable to earn. They, along with thousands of others....have you and yours to Thank for it.

So, in your terminology? Are they "heroic" or sacrificial?
