    Yes, giving millions of taxpayer dollars to a political contributor when Obama KNOWS the loan will go bad is just business as usual for Obama.

    This seems like a fair deal. Let's wait and see who knew what, and when they knew it. But I have to say, based on what we know today...this seems like rank corruption. If true it's grounds for impeachment.

    So you're saying it is Obama and not government itself.

    Obama is a big government lib.

    When Bush tried big government solutions to our problems they failed also.

    But it does seem that Obama is uniquely inept at it.

    Government is wasteful and inefficient. That is reason enough to minimize government.

    odrama is corrupt, in addition to being wasteful and inefficient.

    I don't know Mac, if the goal is to completely ruin our country I'd say he is pretty good at it.

    I think the polls show the public is about evenly divided on the question of whether Obama is smart - meaning that he is ruining the US economy on purpose.

    Or whether he is stupid and simply doesn't know what he's doing.

    And I'm not entirely sure myself which one I think it is.

    It is bad management of tax payer dollars. And that buck stops at Obama.

    You're basing it off of 2 presidents. We haven't truly had a good leader in history yet. If we did, government would be more efficient than private ownership.

    Sometimes I do too.

    In fact if you step back and look at him calmly he appears to be a very lightweight intellect.

    There are reports from his own staff that he is lazy.

    Or at least there are rumors of it if you believe lying lib journalists like Maureen Dowd.

    Stupid and lazy is a bad combination for a president.

    Here is an E Mail that I received from a life long union loving Democrat. A Democrat that I've known for over 50 years that last I knew was a staunch odrama supporter. This person did vote for odrama in 2008 and has never ever voted for anyone but a Democrat.

    Yet this is the E Mail I received,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,



    “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”.
    - Patrick Henry -

    The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

    Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.


    I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.


    In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

    Congressional Reform Act of 2011

    1. No Tenure / No Pension.
    A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

    2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
    All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

    3. Congress can purchase the
    ir own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

    4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.


    5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

    6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

    7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.

    The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

    If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.

    THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!
    If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete. You are one of my 20+. Please keep it going."



    This is a DEMOCRAT saying all these tea party like, Republican ideas. I cannot see how a Democrat feeling this way bodes well for the incompetent incumbent.

    I will forward this E Mail and I never do that. Please feel free to copy and do the same.

    All of those things you listed won't fix a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing. Actually, there would be more negatives than positives.

    Has anyone noticed how little play this story is getting in the lames stream media? Can you imagine the outcry if this was Bush and his administration had loaned $500 billion to a company that was in trouble based on his political agenda.

    It’s the same with the gas prices. When prices hit all-time highs during Bush's administration there were claims of cronyism, incompetence and a clamor for releasing oil reserves. Bush correctly indicated that this would do nothing to reign in prices and as proved by the current moron infesting the White House, he was right.

    But today you can hear a pin drop with $4 gallon gas prices and the lame stream media barely utters a word about it.

    Does anyone with even half a brain not believe the bias that is inherent in the lame stream press and its minions who are in the tank for Democrat politicians whose only agenda appears to be class warfare, class envy and the idiot DNC talking point that the rich need to pay their fair share; as if they don't already pay a lion’s share of the costs?

    The current idiot even wants to argue after his irresponsible spending spree, which did NOTHING to improve the economy, which is the rich fault for not carrying their own weight in taxes and job creation. The man truly is retarded which pretty much defines the Liberal ideology.

    Oh $500,000,000.00 is not worth noting to the obamalamaloopa press?

    Million or billion, they are both well above the FELONY threshold. Obaaaama, our felonious president!

    Breaking news.

    Obama - the one in the White House rather than one of his illegal alien kinfolk -

    Obama was an early investor in LightSquared.

    If this is true and if Obama still has that stock in his portfolio HE'S BEYOND STUPID.

    For those keeping score of the Obama green energy scandals Lightsquared is the company that the Air Force general reports he was pressured to change his testimony for before congress.

    That and pressure on the Air Force to compromise our GPS defense system so that Obama's company can go online and start making money.

    THAT IS a good question. Read my signature, I didn't do it. And I still do not understand how my fellow Americans could be that bad at detecting bullsh!t when it is poured all over them. The first time I listened to b.o. I thought, "If this naive nincompoop were ever elected would he be in for a rude awakening."
    He not only got awakened, he got overwhelmed early on and will remain in over his head.

    If Edwards hadn't shot himself with his dick, he would have won easily. The economy crashed on the Republican presidents watch. A Democrat WAS going to win, that was a foregone conclusion. Edwards dicked himself out of the presidency. Hillary dumpy-ed herself out and the idiot was left.

    Now we hear that the CEO and CFO of Solyndra are going to invoke their 5th Amendment rights when appearing before Congress.
    Who will be the first to get immunity and rat everyone else out???
