when you're blaming someone else, who really checks the figgurs?:rolleyes:

I'm sick of the bad news and the overwhelming doom and gloom by these folks.

Quit *****ing about it and actually do something. Show one ounce of leadership!

By dishing out the blame left and right, you can rationalize your own failures and convince the people those failures are somebody else's fault. There's no question that the congress since Nancy Pelosi came to power has been one of the biggest failures in the history of democratic government, but she has always been able to just blame the other guy's for her failures. She's running out of other guys to blame.

[KT2000]

When is her term up?

[Favpack]

When is her term up?

She's good for a least 40 more years. Look at Bobby Byrd. Ok, don't look, but consider him.

[jtk1519]

When is her term up?

She just won her reelection campaign so her term will take her through 2010. Pelosi will have her current elected office for as long as she wants it. San Francisco is not going to field or vote for another candidate so long as Pelosi wants the job. This last election was the first since '92 that she didn't get at least 80% of the vote (she got 72%).

[drgnbkr]

Two words....miserable ****** bag..what does this say about the bay area?

Oops! Thats 3 words...

Right there with ya Slorch!

The problem we have is the current 24x7 sensational news networks require a crisis to be able to fill their programming. If a real one doesn't exist then they create one or run a real one into the ground over and over and over again... People like Pelosi play right into their hands and vice versa.

she will probably die in office.

:confused: if it can :confused:

[CyFallsMom]

at this rate, let's see, we won't have anybody employed in the U.S. by the middle of March?

Those comments were brought to us by the Democrats "finest".:D. Man I am LOVING this - every day is more interesting and fun-filled than the next! I am not anti-American - I don't want this country to fall apart - but I am anti-Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, etc. Can't stand and definitely don't trust any of them and, while I don't hope they fail, I do see it happening. Reminds me of kids on there first day of Kindergarten - so excited but they want it their way and don't want to share too much. As I said, Bush will not go down in history and "the worst" I'm pretty certain at this point.

And don't whine about "why are we watching him so closely" or "why haven't you waited a while to see what happens". The first 100 days are very crucial and no President is exempt from that. With this one, the media is in his pocket so he actually doesn't have as much to worry about as his predecessors - but the media will tire of that as they do everything else and when they come down on him, it won't be pretty.

All of this and I will throw in that they are clueless. Have they ever read any history books? Did they study the sacrifices made by those who founded our nation? Do they understand what leadership is? Of course not, they are unfortunately a sad joke. I say sad cuz it impacts all of us.

[GoOwls]

City Managers get paid more than congressmen and senators......and we expect to get quality hires and quality people and quality results from legislators who take 180K jobs because they can't hack it in the real business world?

You get what you pay for......and brother are we getting it.

[Owned05]

What an idiot.

This must all be Bush's fault too.

...right.

[dragons08]

She sucks more that the post office.

I have a problem with the blatant insulting of the words "dumber", "than", and "soap", in this instance...:eek:

Watch it junior....I'll hit you with my walker.

[HUM398]

Listen to Glen Beck earlier today...and he did the math on this major crisis:


by 2011.....11 trillion people across the universe would be jobless

Potentially 6 trillion people by the end of his year across the Globe would lose their jobs...


in just one month...after this colossal loss of jobs...The current 120 million American workforce would shrink to a surprising and jaw dropping -320 million unemployed people.... That is something like 5 generations of American legal workers.... My great great great great Grand kids are going to be unemployed for life.

So very true, unfortunately!! I wonder on the intelligence issue of these people every day. The only good thing about there being such a large number(sort of like roaches coming in through the cracks) is that they will have enough personnel and brainpower to change a lightbulb;)

It's still odd to me that the current congress/senate has some of the lowest (if not the lowest) approval numbers of all time. And the best we could muster up for POTUS was 2 senators. And we elected one of them. That makes ZERO sense to me.

It further makes little sense that when a current member of either house speaks, people will actually stop what they're doing and listen.

Up here at work, when one of the people we all know is "full of crap" begins talking, we just tune them out and/or walk off.

Maybe not this one. But he can be accountable for one of the worst and most corrupt periods in our country's history. Surely, y'all aren't blind enough to give him a pass on that.

Give these guys a chance. I did not vote for Obama but he's my president now.

How do you arrive at that conclusion? Please provide how the Bush term was one of the most "corrupt". It certainly couldnt have been more corrupt that your boy Bill selling military secrets to China. But please, go right ahead and provide your proof of the corruptness. Being inept and being corrupt are not the same thing.

Really...what the hell is he talking about? It's amazing the twisted views people get...

[twcpfan1]

Maybe so but Clinton's 2 terms saw a period of unprecedented economic prosperity. Ok here comes the arguments that we ended up paying for it during Bush's 2 terms. Choose to believe that if it makes you feel better. This past administration ended up screwing most Americans and knew that they were doing it. There is now way to sugarcoat it. Not even with the previous administrations lying about screwing interns in the WH. Most can live with that now.

Here is some of the Clinton corruptness.
Selling the military secrets
Vince Foster's "suicide", and the immediate clearing out his office of all Whitewater billing records.
Illegal campaign contributions from the Indonesian Lippo group.
The Web Hubbell hush money.
This list could go on and on.

So we just ignore all of it, just because of unprecedented economic prosperity? We just act like it didnt happen, and that makes everything allright?
I find it really amusing that the ONLY thing you mention was the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Remember, he was impeached because of this affair.

There's plenty of proof that he justified going to war with Iraq with lies. The cost is American lives. Perhaps corruption is too soft a term. What would you choose to call lying to the American people at the cost of American lives? You fill in the blank.

It's history. Obama's our president now. Get on board.

I'm willing to guess most Americans would welcome a lying, wife cheating, sleazebag in the White House right now who is capable of managing this country, if it became a choice between him and an incompetent, Treasury robbing, Church going family man.

I'm done. Didn't vote for President Obama but I wish him well as we all should.

Proof? Do you have any idea what you're talking about? I'm sick of this crap...Obama has tried to load up his cabinet with tax cheats and thugs and actually got away with it on a couple...he has a complete doofus as a VP who can't keep his foot out of his mouth and all you've got is some lame "Bush lied & people died" crap...? Bush wasn't perfect but he certainly looks a lot better than what we've got now.

Clinton sold miltary secrets to China in return for funneled money from them, in the form of campaign contributions to the DNC. Chinese nuclear missile technology has been greatly improved due to this, and they can now attack America from their homeland. Now, answer your own question.

The part I find amusing is that the intelligence community has said time and time again that they provided bad information (not intentionally). But somehow, that still seems to be Bush's fault.

Just goes to show that some people are so blinded by hate/stupidity that they refuse to think rationally.

I'm too old and wise for that!:p I just don't agree with the policies obama is trotting out...don't know him to bash him. What I and all the rest of us know is that socialism doesn't work... and that is not just an obama buzzword..it is his stated intention to nationalize health care, and now he wants to nationalize the banks...It has never worked anywhere it has been tried and now, of all times, is not the time to be experimenting on us.

no we don't.

We pay military folks $30 to 40k a year to do a much tougher job.

Don't let the CEO complex cloud your assessment of what we should get for a dollar.

Besides that, they are civil servants. $180k is generous considering what they actually accomplish.

ummm no it's not.

The nationalization of the banks if you consider it that is simply a continuation of the efforts begun by Bush and voted for by McCain and Obama.

With all the PORK in this stimulous package it'll take alot longer than september. Very little in this bill will create ANY jobs. Where's the CHANGE we were promised? The self-interest democrats are not worried about the American people in the least. If they were, they would take steps to stimulate the economy the only way it will work - through the people, through the workers - the ones with real jobs! What a bunch of hypocrites.....how many more will get caught at odds with the IRS?

I'll give him 2 weeks to get rid of the tax cheat he has running the treasury. That is not too much to ask. Chicago's mayor Daily is ready for his bailout money, and refuses to make public what he is going to do with it...transparency huh? Two weeks my a$$..

[Pinion]

This morning I played WoW for a little while before I came to work. On the in-game chat people were talking about O'Bama. Someone said something that really caught my attention.
Basically it's that people voted for O'Bama because he is all about change. But he never really said what that "change" was going to be. He never said it would be "good change", people just assumed that.
Now look what we have.

Anyway. Just thought it was interesting.

that guy is going to have to go - the rumblings are getting louder and louder and obama keeps sticking his foot in his mouth - that's what not having a teleprompter does! He contradicts himself every single day it seems. But the other two left - the other tax cheat - they guy who will be heading up the IRS - needs to go!!

Obama must be wishing he were back in Hawaii right about now! It was all about winning for him anyway - not the post win situation.

I think quite a few of us on here and elsewhere brought that up - that change is not always "good" and many times it is very bad. He never said what kind of change - the lemmings fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Couldn't agree more. Fact is you have to look long and hard to find an honest politician, who is truly there "for the people". The two party system has wandered into territory that it will never return from, IMO.
