Boy, I am glad you waited on this until Dean booted that idiot.

He could make up for a lot of this if he just understood how cheap and abundant natural gas is, even if it doesn't come from a lab in California.

Until W and Cheney are tried for war crimes for authorizing torture, I'm not particularly interested in this nonsense.

Thanks.

you left out the rest of the sentences.
Yes, he is the 1st to sell weapons to Mexican drug cartels, which resulted in the death of untold numbers of Mexican citizens and a US BP Agent.

Yes, the 1st to do recess appointments while theSenate was still in session.

Yes, the 1st to file lawsuits against states trying to protect themselves against foreign invaders.

What part do you not understand?

Romney to Obama:

Those Solyndra panels cost 800% more than the panels Chinese companies can turn out due to subsidies from their government. Solyndra is also highly leveraged, and unless they can line up a 2300% increase in sales-even with your 500 million-the company will be out of cash in 18 months.

Obama:
Maybe the government will buy them. Besides, I owe George Kaiser big time. What do you mean by leveraged?

Just to see who has a good sense of humor. No jokes about persons NOT in the presidential field right now.

The same interrogation methods that gave us the intel on bin laden. Without which Obama wouldn't be able to crow every five minutes. "hey did ya hear? I killed bin laden."

If you read it in an e-mail it must be true. I just got an e-mail from a Nigerian prince who is going to give me $15 million to protect from the impending civil war. I gave him my bank account info. I should receive the money any time now.

First President to Preside Over a Cut to the Credit Rating of the United States Government (http://spectator.org/blog/2011/07/23/us-credit-rating-now-cut-as-bo)

This alone should be an impeachable offense. But will probably only result in the loss of a 2nd term, and the US Senate for the dims.

That is patently false.

Him covering up Fast and Furious, which was just a plot to limit second amendment rights (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-57338546-10391695/documents-atf-used-fast-and-furious-to-make-the-case-for-gun-regulations/), signing NDAA voiding the 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alton-lu/the-national-defense-auth_b_1180869.html), and assassinated an American citizen without trail (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/oct/11/obamas-killing-of-us-citizens/) are enough for me to tell you he's a piece of sh*t.

"B-b-b-b-but what about Bush!"

What about him? He's a slimeball but that doesn't give Obama an excuse to do what he has done.

Exactly Bush was not a far right conservative. He was a big government guy which is all Obama is. All Bush did that was different was push some of his religious views. But I'm not sure if that's any better than pushing all the tax payers to pay for all of health care all of college, all of the car and for rich bankers, and all these rich companies which many of these started under Bush but has been put on steroids under Obama. Eventually we'll have to find a way to pay for all this and still pay the 6 or 7 trillion dollars that Obama has added to the debt so far. If you think that just taxing the rich more will really pay for that why has that philosophy not worked in California?
