So YOU blame the Bush administration for deficits?---REALLY? How about some FACTS.

[LibocalypseNow]

A bunch of Che & Mao loving Marxist-indoctrinated college boys & girls are running your country America! When will this country wake up and realize that these kids have no real-life experiences and are destroying our country? Come on America,time for some real change!

 

[beowolfe]

I view this administration as being a bunch of spoiled & Marxist-indoctrinated college boys & girls with no real-life experiences trying to preach to the country about things they know absolutely nothing about. This President knows absolutely nothing about running a business yet he feels completely comfortable preaching to the country about economic issues. I would describe his entire administration this way. Timothy Geithner himself couldn't even file his own taxes correctly using Turbo Tax. This shocking stuff should worry all Americans. Just not enough people with real-life experience in this administration. A bunch of spoiled and indoctrinated college kids just isn't gonna cut it. Lets hope these next three years go by very quickly.

Well, we know how often you've been correct in your observations. So, considering your track record, if you believe this, we should be okay with this administration.

Didn't you fools know? everyting was PERFECT untill 1/20/2001, sucked untill 1/20/2010 and is now all better! Except for things you still don't like, and those things are all Bush's fault!

Simple logic for simple liberal minds.. kinda like the simple "Hope and Change"

Keep'n it simple!!!

No, everything wasn't perfect until 01-20-01. But it got a lot worse after 01-20-01

History of Deficits and Surpluses In The United States

The above link will take you to a site that displays budget deficits/surpluses all the way back to 1940. This way you don't have to guess; you don't have to go on your 'feelings' or your thoughts. You can look at the facts and formulate a valid opinion from them. But be prepared, simple is not something that works when analyzing US budget deficits.

 

[Vast LWC]

The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush, blah blah blah. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense.

Here is a short civics lesson.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office--while sticking nonsense spending bills (last minute or middle of the night earmarks & other goodies into bills.)

At that time, they passed a massive 450 BILLION dollar omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets which Bush refused to sign. Obama gleefully signed that which had over 9000 earmarks & political pay-backs included in it. Obama referred to this bill as "last years" business-- The very week after Obama signed off on the 787 BILLION dollar stimulus bill that wasn't--which included 64 million in bonuses for AIG & 200+ million for Fannie/Freddie bonuses--gratitude of the American taxpayer. This the bill that no one read before signing off on it.

And where was Barack Obama during the 2007--2008 full year budget? He was a member of that very Senate that passed all of these massive spending bills.

Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is--"I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since I took office on January 20 2009." This President in one single year has spent more--than the cost of ALL WARS combined in United States History!

It is estimated that each & every household in America today is in debt $100,000 to the Federal Government's tab.

How's all that hopey & changey workin for ya?--

450 BILLION for 9000 earmarks that Bush refused to sign--

Hey look, an OP filled with utter crap.

The reason the deficit was 1.3 Trillion dollars on JANUARY 7th OF 2009, two weeks before Obama took office, was that the collapse of the economy made tax receipts drop dramatically.

The level of spending remained at the same high level it had been at for 2 years, but the revenue dropped dramatically, causing a deficit.

There were no significant spending increases made by the Democratic congress that was elected in 2006, besides uncontrollable increases in Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance benefits, and welfare benefits going to people who were now out of work.

In addition, 180 Billion of the money that Bush gave away to the banks was counted as a loss, because it was expected that they wouldn't get it back. Fortunately, good fiscal management by the Obama administration allowed us to get much of that 180 Billion back in the following year.

It's simple math people: revenue - spending = deficit

If your revenue drops, but your spending remains the same, the deficit grows.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Actually,the economy did begin to tank when the Democrats took control of Congress. This is just fact. Things were going pretty well up until they took Congress back. Seriously,it's true.

 

[Vast LWC]

Here is a link for the 2007 Budget.

2007 United States federal budget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Notice these items:

Total $2.8 trillion
Total Mandatory Spending (Soc Sec, Unemployment, etc): 1.8 Trillion

Then the 2008 Budget:

Total: $2.9 trillion
Total Mandatory Spending : 1.8 Trillion
GWOT Spending (Not included in the 2007 Budget): $145 Billion

Then the 2009 Budget:

Total: 3.1 Trillion
Total Mandatory Spending: 1.9 Trillion
GWOT Spending: $145 Billion

Meaning that between 2007 and 2009 less than 100 billion was added to Federal Spending, outside of mandatory spending.

 

[Vast LWC]

Actually,the economy did begin to tank when the Democrats took control of Congress. This is just fact. Things were going pretty well up until they took Congress back. Seriously,it's true.

Which is purely anecdotal, as Congress passed no legislation that would have had that effect.

We all know why the economy tanked, and it had nothing to do with who was president or who was in congress at the time.

It had more to do with prior congresses, both Republican (The Commodity Modernization act of 2000) and Democrat (Low Income Housing Loans).

Obama didn't say "it was all Bush's fault", as you all seem to think he did. He said he was left with a deficit when he got into office, and he was.

 

[KissMy]

In addition, 180 Billion of the money that Bush gave away to the banks was counted as a loss, because it was expected that they wouldn't get it back. Fortunately, good fiscal management by the Obama administration allowed us to get much of that 180 Billion back in the following year.

What a frigging lie The money Bush wanted to give out went to the banks who paid it all back. Obama gave the money to the car companies who will never pay it all back. Also the Democrat GSEs will never pay us back or come out of government conservatorship.

BTW it was Democrats in congress who voted for that bailout to give CEOs millions. These banks are not lending to the public, they are only lending to the government.

The Bush administration wanted to loan the banks the money, which would have meant that they could claim bankruptcy and just not pay back the money if they so chose. That was changed to INVESTING the money in the banks, so we would see a dividend on the shares we owned.

Of course, you wouldn't know that, because Hannity and Beck don't mention that part.

And the taxpayer money that went to GM can be expected to make a profit for us in the long run also, if things go well.

Also, there's one thing all you Socialist conspiracy theorists seem to forget: GM is a publicly traded company. If you all disagree with taxpayer ownership, you can just buy shares to make it private again.

whatever happened to those pesky WMD's?

Jay Canuck , another ESTABLISHED Obamarrhoidal Political Idiot asked:

"whatever happened to those pesky WMD's ?" .......

And, in doing so was STUPID enough to harken back to the days when the HYPOCRITICAL and TREACHEROUS LIEberals, pulled the 180 degree about face and sent the unmistakable GREEN LIGHT to IRAN and the other ISLAMOFASCIST SWINE to start the IRAQI QUAGMIRE by using the 24/7 LIEberal Controlled National media to pull off the Greatest Scam in Political History of The World....... castigating, and DESTROYING Dubya.......while OBFUSCATING THE FACT THAT DUBYA INVADED IRAQ because he AGREED with the Clinton Adm's AND THE CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERS.....I REPEAT CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERS ......Yowling and Howling for the elimination of the Baghdad Psycho.

These DEM PHONIES turned around and BACKSTABBED Bush for using the IDENTICAL VERBIAGE of the DEM Congressional Leaders, PARTIALLY LISTED below, WHO NOW ATTACKED BUSH because with Bush's destruction of the Baghdad Psycho's FOURTH LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD......IN TWENTY TWO DAYS.......the Dems' chances for re-election were DOOMED in the upcoming elections.

So, Jay Canuck, you stupid Obamarrhoidal fuck, why doncha ask THEM about "whatever happened to those pesky WMD's?":


"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them.
That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear.
We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass
destruction program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [the USA], but what happens there matters a great deal
here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear,
chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest
security threat we face."
- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times
since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S.
Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate,
air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to
the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction
programs."
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin,
Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he
has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has . chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons
programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs
continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam
continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a
licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten
the United States and our allies."
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,)
and others, December 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the
mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction
and the means of delivering them."
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical
weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to
deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in
power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing
weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are
confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to
build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence
reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority
to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe
that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real
and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively
to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the
next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated
the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every
significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his
chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has
refused to do" Rep.
- Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that
Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weap ons
stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has
also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members
.. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will
continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare,
and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam
Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for
the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal,
murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime . He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction
... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real
..."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 20

Now, the fucking deceitful distorters of the TRUTH like Rdeeanie Weanie, LeftySHITflinger, TheAlzheimerAddled MoronDaddyTime, StarkeyMalarkey etc., will trot out the usual trite LIES, and haul out the "smoke & mirrors" CRAPPOLA to obfuscate the IRREFUTABLE HYPOCRISY and TREACHERY of their DEM Party's HORRENDOUS DEEDS in order to win the upcoming elections.

Your right. Most forget that the Congress has controll of the purse strings. Not the Prez. The Congress can accept the budget the Prez presents, or send it back.

I guess that means that back in the eighties, the Democratic Congress, not Ronald Reagan, won the Cold War.

I always love this talking point though, because it's pretty insidious.

The talking point always refers to 2 periods in time.

The second point in time is just after congress was fed all that cherry-picked data from the Bush influenced intelligence reports.

If you remember your guy--the one that voted for the war before he voted against it--John Kerry--who was on the senate intelligence committee--during the Clinton administration & during the Bush administration.

The problem you liberals have is that Presidents also inherit intelligence from prior administrations--along with of course video comments from Bill Clinton--Al Gore--M15--Britian, France, Russia, & our own CIA along with 98% of democrats in congress all believed that Sadam had WMD & was trying to acquire more.


To add--If Bill Clinton would have taken one of the several shots he had at Bin Laden when he was hiding in PLAIN site, or would have insisted that Sadam keep WMD inspectors in Iraq when Sadam kicked them out--we may have avoided 9/11 & the two insuing wars.

Talking about the sissy syndrome--

DID you ever hear G.W. Bush blame Clinton for the recession he inherited? DID you ever hear G.W. Bush blame the attacks of 9/11 on Clinton--because Clinton refused to take ONE of several shots at Bin Laden--even though Laden attacked this country on 4 different occassions on Clintons watch? Did you ever hear G.W. Bush blame the invasion of Iraq on Bill Clinton--because G.W. Bush INHERITED bad intelligence from the Clinton Administration, & Clinton did not pressure Sadam Husiene into keeping WMD inspectors in Iraq when Husiene kicked them out in 1997?

This is the difference between a real President & the sissy--ass-- whiner President--that you have elected.--

whatever happened to those pesky WMD's?

Jay Canuck , another ESTABLISHED Obamarrhoidal Political Idiot asked:

"whatever happened to those pesky WMD's ?" .......

And, in doing so was STUPID enough to harken back to the days when the HYPOCRITICAL and TREACHEROUS LIEberals, pulled the 180 degree about face and sent the unmistakable GREEN LIGHT to IRAN and the other ISLAMOFASCIST SWINE to start the IRAQI QUAGMIRE by using the 24/7 LIEberal Controlled National media to pull off the Greatest Scam in Political History of The World....... castigating, and DESTROYING Dubya.......while OBFUSCATING THE FACT THAT DUBYA INVADED IRAQ because he AGREED with the Clinton Adm's AND THE CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERS.....I REPEAT CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERS ......Yowling and Howling for the elimination of the Baghdad Psycho.

These DEM PHONIES turned around and BACKSTABBED Bush for using the IDENTICAL VERBIAGE of the DEM Congressional Leaders, PARTIALLY LISTED below, WHO NOW ATTACKED BUSH because with Bush's destruction of the Baghdad Psycho's FOURTH LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD......IN TWENTY TWO DAYS.......the Dems' chances for re-election were DOOMED in the upcoming elections.

So, Jay Canuck, you stupid Obamarrhoidal fuck, why doncha ask THEM about "whatever happened to those pesky WMD's?":

(Other people's quotes edited to save space)

Now, the fucking deceitful distorters of the TRUTH like Rdeeanie Weanie, LeftySHITflinger, TheAlzheimerAddled MoronDaddyTime, StarkeyMalarkey etc., will trot out the usual trite LIES, and haul out the "smoke & mirrors" CRAPPOLA to obfuscate the IRREFUTABLE HYPOCRISY and TREACHERY of their DEM Party's HORRENDOUS DEEDS in order to win the upcoming elections.

Ahh, it's the crazy-assed extremist gautama again!

I always love this talking point though, because it's pretty insidious.

The talking point always refers to 2 periods in time.

The first is in 1998, 5 years before the Iraq War, when in all probability, Hussein still had some WMDs left.

The second point in time is just after congress was fed all that cherry-picked data from the Bush influenced intelligence reports.

Right-wingers always seem to think this proves something... other than that the Bushies successfully hoodwinked congress into believing Saddam still had WMDs

LeftyWhackjobCrunt,

This post of yours isn't even a good try at OBFUSCATING THE TRUTH !!!

It's such OBVIOUS BULLSHIT that I almost didn't want to waste time on it.

But then, I realized that MOST of the POLITICAL Obamarrhoidal IDIOTS would've swallowed your UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT hook, line and sinker. !!!!

So, let's set the TRUTH out there in the open and see how your SECOND attempt to REFUTE THE IRREFUTABLE HISTORICAL FACTS will do.......providing you have the GALL to try it.

The first time line (1998) wherein I quoted Clinton, his Adm, and the Congressional Dem Leadership yowling and howling for The Baghdad Psycho's removal because of the WMDs was to show that this was an ONGOING concern of the Dems.

The SECOND TIME LINE wherein I quoted Clinton, his Adm, and the Congressional Dems yowling and howling for the Baghdad Psycho's removal because of the WMDs was even though THEY WERE CORRECT.....and HISTORY WILL PROVE THAT THEY and DUBYA who agreed with them WERE CORRECT...... the fact that they weren't physically located because of a lot of reasons hitherto unknown, for example: the Baghdad Monster was able to successfully HIDE THEM....or by many reports (satellite and Iraqi Generals' testimony) secretly send them to Syria........ ALL THIS IS SECONDARY to the point that without The Baghdad Monster's elimination we'd have TWO TOTAL PSYCHOS armed with nukes, and undoubtedly Pakistan would have been in their camp because of their even present instability. THAT is WHY BOTH the CLINTON ADM and the DEM LEADERSHIP......AND DUBYA.....who AGREED with them WERE CORRECT in wanting to eliminate the Baghdad Whackjob !!!

The HISTORICAL FACT is BUSH actually had the guts to do what was CORRECT !!!

So given the IRREFUTABLE HISTORICAL FACTS ON RECORD, Let's examine your OBFUSCATION and the "Smoke & Mirrors" BULLSHIT:

You claim that:

"The second point in time is just after congress was fed all that cherry-picked data from the Bush influenced intelligence reports.

Right-wingers always seem to think this proves something... other than that the Bushies successfully hoodwinked congress into believing Saddam still had WMDs".

You, the feebleminded LeftyWhackjob Crunt, attempt to give a reason OTHER THAN THE HYPOCRISY and the TREACHERY of the Congressional Dem Leaders to have pulled "the 180 degree about face" and give IRAN and the other ISLAMOFASCIST SWINE the OBVIOUS GREEN LIGHT to start the IRAQI QUAGMIRE.....

You attempt to OBFUSCATE THE TRUE and OBVIOUS FACT..... THAT THE CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERSHIP WHO VIED WITH EACH OTHER YOWLING and HOWLING FOR THE REMOVAL of the BAGHDAD PSYCHO .......SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT..... BECAUSE of Bush's TWENTY TWO DAY VICTORY these HYPOCRITICAL and TREACHEROUS DEMS would have a NADA, ZERO, ZIPPO CHANCE of getting RE-ELECTED !!!!!!

And, the OBVIOUS TRUTH is that the HYPOCRITICAL and TREACHEROUS CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERSHIP actually did do the "180 DEGREE ABOUT FACE" and KNIFE DUBYA (AND AMERICA) in the back with the 24/7 LIEberal Controlled National Media attacking (and later DESTROYING) BUSH.....thus sending the CLEARCUT "GREEN LIGHT" to IRAN and the other ISLAMOFSACIST SLIME to start the IRAQI QUAGMIRE !!!!

So......HOW DOES AN OBAMARRHOIDAL FUCK like you attempt to pony up a phony excuse ......which even if it were TRUE does NOT exonerate the HYPOCRITICAL and TREACHEROUS CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERSHIP ?????

YOU FABRICATE THE STORY THAT:

"The second point in time is just after congress was fed all that cherry-picked data from the Bush influenced intelligence reports."

NOW THAT IS BLATANT BULLSHIT THAT IS EASILY REFUTED WITH THE HISTORICAL FACT (easily accessed by going to the Library (or wikipedia) THAT:

It is the CLINTON ADM'S CIA that provided the CLINTON ADM and the CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERSHIP with their assessment that the Baghdad Psycho had the WMDs.

That was during the height of their DEM howling and yowling at the SECOND TIME LINE, JUST PRIOR to Bush's Election in 2001......and shortly later with Bush's take over in 2002 and HIS CIA's info THAT JIBED WITH CLINTON'S CIA info. To wit, DUBYA INHERITED CLINTON CIA'S INFO !!!!

NOT ONLY WAS YOUR BULLSHIT of "all that cherry-picked data from the Bush influenced intelligence reports." a bunch of FABRICATED GARBAGE it is a HISTORICAL FACT that ALL the MAJOR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OF THE WORLD: RUSSIA, FRANCE, GERMANY, ENGLAND, etc.......ALL, with the exception of CHINA (which was not on record)...........PUBLICLY STATED....and are on record......That the Baghdad Psycho HAD THE WMDS !!!!!!

So, LeftyWhackjob Crunt.......YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT !!!!

BUT, EVEN IF YOU WERE CORRECT with your fabricated BULLSHIT.....THAT STILL WOULD NOT EXONERATE THE CONGRESSIONAL DEM LEADERS WHO WITH THEIR IRREFUTABLE HYPOCRISY and the TREACHERY are to be UNEQUIVOCALLY AWARDED THE TITLE of "THE MOST PUTRESCENT of the PUTRESCENT TURDS ....in any HISTORY KNOWN TO MANKIND."

whatever happened to those pesky WMD's?

Jay Canuck , another ESTABLISHED Obamarrhoidal Political Idiot asked:

"whatever happened to those pesky WMD's ?" .......

You should take time out from praying to Mecca to look up Barack Obama's 2002 case AGAINST the Iraq war.

NYCRAP,

THis BULLSHIT of yours in no way exonerates the HYPOCRISY and TREACHERY of the LEADERS of the CONGRESSIONAL DEMS that backstabbed Dubya, and AMERICA.... in giving the GREEN LIGHT to IRAN and the other ISLMOFASCIST SWINE to start the IRAQI QUAGMIRE.

And what is with this idiotic comment of yours:"You should take time out from praying to Mecca...." is that supposed to be some sophomoric attempt at humour ? Is this the level of your fucked-up mind ????

Re your Messiah, the MARXIST Muslim PC Protector Obami Salami.....back in 2002 he was scrambling for the US Senate seat.

In 2002, this Political Charlatan of yours, The CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE "ACORN's" hired "Community Organizer" was neck deep in the clutches of the MAFIOSO and COMMIE laden NOTORIOUSLY CORRUPT Chicago Political Machine.

Please note the IRREFUTABLE HISTORICAL FACT that the MARXIST Obami Salami had his METEORIC RISE amidst MURDERERS and CROOKS to POLITICAL FAME with the BLESSING of said NOTORIOUSLY CORRUPT CHICAGO POLITICAL MACHINE (which to this day is as corrupt as it ever was).

BTW, is it any wonder that MARXIST Obami Salami was one of Blago's most ardent backers (check out the Wikipedia). And, that much later, when asked about Blago, this PATHOLOGICAL LYING MESSIAH of yours said (his paraphrased words): "I don't know him. But I think I saw him across the field in a baseball game." I heard that "historic" comment during the Blago furor on TV (take it or leave it). But it is ON RECORD where this PATHOLOGICAL LIAR of yours is seen photo-oped NUMEROUS times with Blago in restaurants....and yes....even at a baseball game apparently enjoying some joke, or another.

Anyways, my point is that this IDOL of yours (and that is very apropos) was in the LEFTIEST of the LEFT WHACKJOBS in this NOTORIOUSLY CORRUPT CHICAGO POLITICAL MACHINE that was the "CREATIVE CENTER" of the "HATE AMERICA FIRST....LAST....and THE IN-BETWEEN" gang.

ANYTHING......ANYTHING....that was UN-AMERICAN .....was not only honky-dory.....BUT ONE OF THE MAIN PILLARS OF THESE LEFT WING WHACKJOBS......that, not surprisingly, had the self-acknowledged friend of MARXIST Obami Salami.....none other than.....the UNREPENTANT, HOMICIDAL and MANIACAL COMMIE/TERRORIST Bill Ayers. And wonder of all wonders, Bill Ayers was a CELEBRITY amongst these POLITICAL THUGS. Bill Ayers was one of the CHERISHED MEMBERS that was much revered by this HUMAN GARBAGE OF AMERICA ......The CHICAGO POLITICAL MACHINE !!!!!

Yep......NYCRAP......YOU fucking read your MARXIST PC Protector's MANIFESTO about the IRAQ WAR.

I am POSITIVE that a shithead like you would find this manifesto impressive.

Enjoy your demise.
You idiots cannot even see the enemy due to your partisanship.
The ignorance is mind boggling.
Nobody in DC cares about you. Waving a Chinese made flag you put on a credit card at Wallmart is NOT the answer.
