[lamiac2411]

oooo she is sooo hot. Sends chills down my spine almost as much as megan kelly

[2006edsel]

Hey, I wonder what would happen if you hired the most infamous child sex offended to babysit your kids for a week while you went to Cancun on vacation....hummmm.

I love what Obama represents but I am really begining to question his actual Intent...

[bouiglob]

just say it without the metaphors. I don't want to talk about wolves

[bouiglob]

I don't get why people put down Bill Clinton? Our country had a surplus of money because of him. It was all gone in debt one year after he left office thanks to.......you know who.

[hopeNchangeHAHA]

@bouiglob

if Silly Billy would have initiated the war on terror after we were attacked twice on his watch by Al Queda none the less, his surplus would have been different. Shoula, Woulda, Coulda. We cant change the past, but WE are gonna Change the future in NOV this year!!! THANK GOD for my fav color RED!!!!

[bouiglob]

Talk to someone who lived in a country with socialized health care, then moved to America

[hopeNchangeHAHA]

@bouiglob Are you referring to yourself? Or was that a generalized statement. Because if it was the later, then already done that. I confer with many people who currently live and have lived in Canada, I have not met 1 that thinks the Canadian system is better. Look, ours is not perfect. At the same time, as heartless as it may seem, our government was never structured to "provide" in the sense that progressives interpret the word to mean.(CONTINUED)

[hopeNchangeHAHA]

@bouiglob If Progressives dont like the way our country was created, then by all means Jugo Chavez would surely welcome them into his country. Their way of thinking has NEVER worked and it will NEVER work. History proves it OVER, and OVER and OVER etc, etc. Our little "Experiment" runs just fine without progressives creating a strain on the system. EVERYONE has an equal CHANCE to succeed, it all is determined on ones own ambition. (CONTINUED)

[bouiglob]

FALSE

the rich are getting way too rich and the poor are getting way to poor.

[hopeNchangeHAHA]

@bouiglob But I will leave you with this analogy.(pertains to the progressive ideology of keeping people on govt handouts) When a wolf that typically hunts for its own food raises its young to hunt and be self sufficient they thrive on their own. When that wolf gets fed by the hand of man, it realizes that food is not so hard to come by now. (CONTINUED)

[bouiglob]

America is not a democracy, it is a dictatorship of corporations. Once the middle class is gone, there will be a revolution. Its happened before, and it can happen again.

[hopeNchangeHAHA]

I wonder, do you think GE is a corporation too? This is not a trick question, but there is a point to it. and the analogy was a simple way to put into perspective the fact that when we have multiple generations on welfare, the families rarely get off of it due to the generational dependency of it.. that is a sad state when people find it more accomodating to sit on welfare than to establish a career and have a better future. no need to debate that if you dont wish to, facts are facts.

[hopeNchangeHAHA]

@bouiglob Soon, the wolf will come to be dependent on the handouts and will stop teaching its young to hunt, generation after generation, the young wolves will continue to be dependent on the handout.... what happens to the wolves when the man that provided the hand out is no longer able to provide it???? I look forward to your response.

[psnsam]

Obama is Goldman Sach's lapdog!!! He is here to screw us all and make money from the Presidency.

[superclawsonbros]

Um Hello George Bush and George bush's dad and reagan a and clinton all made a ton of money during and after presidencies ALL PRESIDENTS MAKE MONEY OFF THEIR PRESIDENCY! WAKE UP OUR POLITICIANS ARE TAKING MORE OF OUR MONEY! THANKS TO LOBBYING!

[psnsam]

Yes I agree. Sad. But, true.

[Tothe2012]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sometimes the media does expose facts.

Obama's campaign slogan should've been "Same."

He represents the same people that Bush, Clinton, Bush does.

"Same."

[TadRapidly]

"Thanks for having me..." Yeah, We've ALL been had.

[Slobbert]

Absolute NWO scum.

[Wizard364]

Obama is in with the Neocons and is nothing more than a complete and utter fraud.

[id493337]

@Wizard364

Hi, what is a Neocon?

[spits32]

Nice books in the background, David! You look smart!

[blkconservativ]

i wonder how much liberal "buyer's remorse" is out there?

[drahm33]

Just another example of Obamas ignorance. He says something is so wrong and campaigns against it then when the naive fool gets there and gets educated he goes back on his word. This is just showing how little he knew and knows, but they did care when they voted for him and everyone will suffer, fuck you Obama voters.

[DoJapan]

What would you have us do? Vote for Nader? McCain would have been too senile to even recognize lobbyists in his administration.

[drahm33]

McCain is senile? Don't talk to me if you are so stupid that you don't have anything better than that to say. McCain would be doing a much better job today and the country would be being led in a positive direction! I don't care if Obama got more votes, did you hear the people at the town hall meeting? Obama does know how to get retards behind him. He promises them everything. Can't wait till taxes triple, sales tax also. The citizens with money are not putting it in the SM cause of Obama

[k2dart]

David, you were once critical. Now its like you're just stroking feathers and making a lot of conciliatory excuses. What happened to you? Change much? You're looking like the talking heads you used to rail against.

[toosinbeymen]

I agree with you Mr. Sirota, that there has to be other qualified people that don't have the lobbyist taint. Maybe not as well qualified as these two but IMHO being a lobbyist in these relevant industries uniquely disqualifies someone from the positions. I'm disappointed that Obama has sought these waivers.
