He has no guts at all. He signed a bailout that had thousands of earmarks in it and he called it Bush's old business. He's the friggin president, he's the guy signing it and that makes it his fcking business - especially after he promised he wouldn't approve of earmarks. He so cowardly he constantly reminds not only us, but also the Europeans, that he inherited the crisis. I guess he forgot his Senatorial role in all this along with the Dem Congress.

A guy with guts doesn't vote "present." A guy with guts doesn't bow to another guy who's wearing a table cloth - that's gay. A guy with guts doesn't get a little homo-dog. Obama is trying to please everyone and we all know that can't be done. Bush knew it as well and he had the guts to make the tough decisions knowing it would hurt some.

A guy with guts doesn't bow to a Saudi King.

Can't you realize that a tax on oil puts the biggest burden on those least able to afford it. And since a lot more oil is needed in the west because people have to drive more miles than those in the east, it's an unequal tax. Bad Idea. And Perot purposed a tax when gas was .79 a gal. That also is a weak argument. If you want to tax something, tax foreign ownership of the media. or derivative hedge fund managers, or oil speculators, or foreign born currency traders.

Coming from you?

I've seen what you've written here. I've seen how your brain works. Fox News at its worst is several steps up for you.

slanted viewpoint

most people were voting against republicans because they were tired of the last 8 years of Bush...

Slanted viewpoint. Most people were "tired" of Bush b/c that's what they heard from the MSM, ad nauseum.

Tell me, where are the stories about IEDs now? What's this month's death toll in Iraq or Afghanistan?

Now we get stories on White House dogs and Michelle Obama's sleeveless wardrobe.

I just don't understand the hostility towards taxes. We live in a great country. A country I'm proud of. If I could write a check to pay off our debt I would. I just don't get the mindset. I was listening to a Clear Channel radio station today at 5. They had a sound byte about this guy saying 50% of the people have figured out they can vote taxes on the other 50% and they can be on easy street. NO ONE IS ON WELFARE anymore. We have children who get money. No adult is getting a check from the govt. on the 1st of the month. Get that through your heads.

You do.
