Yes, right, it's "change"
With a federal budget now pushing 3+ trillion, 120 million is just "change"...
It's NO PROBLEM now, if the government needs more money, it can just PRINT IT!

We have the same problem here in Oz.. we have a PM (with the same political persuasion)giving it away in bucket loads. We had a massive surplus here after the last election and where is it now?... yep you guessed it.
There is no such thing as Health Food... just Health Fanatics!

Ask some of the Republicans who will not vote for the President's ideas where the hell they have been for the last eight years.
Their insistence that they have a "better" plan just doesn't make sense.
Do the really want us to believe that for the past eight years they have just been waiting for Bush to get out of the Whitehouse so they could step forward with their bold new plan?
Tell those idiots to either come up with really good ideas or get out of the way.
They had all the power, all the control, everything and they did nothing but run us into the ground as a country and now we are supposed to believe THEY have the right answers?
Forgive me while I laugh. And then throw up.

They had all the power, all the control
The Dems have had the control of the House and senate for the past 4 years...The republicans barly had enough to contain them from going on a rampage with their spending habits....
Now the republicans have lost that aspect and the demos have gone nuts with their pork crap.

Actually it has been a little less than 4 years. Closer to three.
But the Republicans still haven't done a thing to help this country. Only themselves.

It has not been the republicansd that have caused all this crap...the major part of all this rests square on the democratic shoulders from during the Clinton adminastration...that sir is fact and can not be denied. Even the pundits all agree to that!

Who? The pundits are thus saying that Bush had nothing to do with the decline of the country over the past 8 years and that it's all Clinton's fault and Bush couldn't and didn't do anything?
What color is the sky in your world?
I'm outta here.

Mine is very blue and clear and unlike you I don't need rose colored glasses to see with.
There is but one change that will be coming and that is the change of being slightly screwed by the republicans to being raped by the democrats....don't believe me look what all the pork is about in the so called stimulous package....
the best part is this little tidbit: but first a few facts to enlighten you!
1)Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco .
2)Star- Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home district.
3)Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi.
4)Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.
5)Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan workforce.
6)In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition's.
The latest news on this
Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an 'economic development credit in and for American Samoa '.

>>Headlines Today:
"Historic Obama Inauguration will cost only $120 million"
"Obama Spends $120 million on inauguration; America Needs A Big Party"
"Everyman Obama shows America how to celebrate"<<They probably had to spend a lot more to secure the area, what with all the loonies that would like to see something bad happen to Obama.
I don't understand why y'all don't want to give Obama a chance. We had to put up with Bush and Cheney plenty long enough, in my opinion.
"Doin' right ain't got no end." Cap'n Red Legs

Give who a chance?
Look at all his cabinet that he has picked...everyone of them was trying to screw you by not paying their own taxes...so who makes up the differences when this happens...you do.
Where is the change he promised?
Every person he has put in charge under him was involed in some kind of legal dispute and conspiracy of trying to cheat the American People during the Clinton years. How can you possibly expect this mutt to be any better than any of the others!Some where the democrats are handing out rose colored glases that paint everything a perfect idea for you!

Ask Pelosi how she gets home to California?
A 200 seat Jet aircraft that carries no one but her and a few friends back and forth to Washington. She only works 3 days a week but her gas guzzler luxury jet flights home, to California, costs to taxpayers $60,000 one way! She was offered the use of a smaller jet and she refused because it didn't hold the amount of fuel it costs to fly non-stop.Folks, that is $480,000 per month or an annual cost to taxpayers of $5,760,000. And she complains about the cost of the war?!? She "could" take the smaller jet which she says would cramp her style -- but since her flying in style takes precedence over war costs -- what do you say?
Military families in this country do without while this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of our country, spends lavishly to fly herself and associates to and from California every week. Does that burn you, too?In reference to 11/05/2008

The Speaker of the House is 3rd in line of succession for the presidency in case of catastrophe. Since the President and Vice President are housed together, I do not disapprove of appropriate long range transportation for security purposes.
However, use should be tightly constrained in the interest of the taxpayer (immediate family... spouse, children, family dog and critical staff members). If there are other lawmakers that can make use of the transportation, why not? Makes better use of fuel. But Pelosi's threats to the Department of Defense were tacky and unprofessional.

But are you going to blame Democrats for that? The Republicans loused up things so bad for the past 8 years people were ready to vote for Charles Manson as long as he wasn't Republican. Palin was a joke, McCain was 8 years to late and the Republican Party has become a religious cult trumpeting Patriotism while wanting to trash the constitution and turn the US into a fascist state under the guise of a theocracy.
If your Republican and your upset over your party losing power, clean up your party and offer better candidates. Period. If your Democrat and you want your party to stay in power, clean up your party and offer better candidates. Period.

And maybe we should check our facts, too...

Ditto heads on both sides will be the death of the country.
Assume that I already did an Internet search.

As much as I dislike the pundits and their biased opinions, I dislike any thing factcheck has to offer as they have been proven to have already bveen prejudicial to anything that the democrats have to offer.
