If you've ever seen "Citizen Kane", you would realize the intended meaning of Obama's presence upon in the balcony is not racist at all, but rather a clever nod to the original scene. In the original, the figure secretly watching Kane from up in the balcony is his opponent in the election, Jim W. Gettys. If Kane is replaced by John McCain, then it is fitting that Jim Gettys should be replaced by Obama.
Uhm.. (newsflash) Price of gas in the US is rising because the cost of war forces congress to ask the fed to print money thus causing inflation. The diminishing US dollar buys less oil overseas and US policy prohibits oil production in Alaska. Solution?--Follow a different leader. Listen to what the world is saying about US democracy.
"Price of gas in the US is rising because the cost of war forces congress to ask the fed to print money thus causing inflation. The diminishing US dollar buys less oil overseas"
Not really. The gas prices are more expensive in europe.
Prices in Europe are higher mostly because their fuel consumption taxes are 3x higher, not because of US currency weakness or dollar pegging of crude.
Taxes on fuel in Europe are often figured on the base fuel cost. For example, the Netherlands and England levy both an excise and VAT tax that scale as a % of the base fuel cost. This means that if the price of the fuel increases, so does the tax. So yes, it is still mostly taxes. In the UK, fuel tax is ~115% of the fuel cost. In the US, it's ~15%. If the US was taxed at UK rates, our fuel would cost $6.73/gal, not $3.60/gal.
This is from the Orson Wells classic "Citizen Kane", widely recognized as the greatest American film of all time. The film mirrors the life of newspaper baron William Randolf Hurst.
Even The New York Times admits the surge worked, the Democrats were wrong and things are much better in Iraq. Everyone should read David Brooks' column, "The Bush Paradox" in the 24 June 2008 New York Times.
Your inability to do anything beyond insult does nothing to advance your position; but it does establish your lack of capacity to reason, to analyze information or to form a coherent thought. Have you considered seeking a position as on air talent for MSNBC? It sounds as if you would be perfect for that organization.
I am so sick of replying to idiots who bought the whole idea of war with Iraq when the REAL war was in AFGHANISTAN. The reason why all I did was curse you is because you seriously have a problem if you think things are going well in ANY front of the "war on terrrr".
you sound like you'd be a good footstool for that transvestite dyke on faux news, or maybe the fat pill poppers' butt boy on the radio, these idiots dont even deserve their names to be repeated.
Wake up fool- Bush has been the worst thing to happen to the USA in decades. We are FUCKED, and you want to talk about surges working???
I suggested that your personal attack on me was an example that you had no arguments in favor of whatever your side may be and you responded with another personal attack. I did not think anyone was that dumb but clearly you are. You just stay in your liberal Obama worshiping fantasyland because that is clearly where you belong. Perhaps you should enroll in a logic class at your local community college, assuming you could meet their admission standards.
there IS no excuse for the past 8 years of disgrace, you are amongst the last 15% of retarded Americans who just doesn't see that we have had the vote for the presidency stolen 2x thanks to Deibold, Sequoia and the republican activists controlled by a very powerful group of people that became billionaires thanks to a wasteful war in Iraq that had NOTHING to do with national security.
I made not ONE mention of Obama, but YOU did while calling me a liberal.
I like how when Republicans lose an election, then the "people have spoken" but when the Democrats lose an election, it is always somehow "stolen" from them. Too bad for your side that the Democrats in Florida were not successful in their attempts to keep military ballots from being counted.
its wonderful how stupid and uninformed you are thanks to corporate media.
Do you even have any idea what happened there?
Florida wasn't the only battleground, and the recount wasn't the only issue. The military ballots you speak of were unsigned, had no date or postmark or CLEARLY came in after the fact that there was an issue with the numbers.
People with names SIMILAR to convicts were DISCOUNTED BY REPUBLICAN ACTIVISTS. Diebold and Sequoia machines ALL OVER THE US WERE HACKED.
The military ballots that the Democrats didn't what to count had nothing to you with your conspiracy theories of Republicans hacking into voting machines. (By the way, Florida used punch card ballots). The military ballots did not have a postmark because they came from an APO address. The Democrats did not want to count military ballots because they were likely votes for Bush. But feel free to continue the myth that the election was stolen. HBO even made a move about it.
There is only room to answer three of your questions. Osama is most likely in Pakistan. Obama wants to bomb Pakistan (a country that is basically U.S. ally and that also has nuclear weapons). Obama may chaged his mind again after the media worship him on his upcoming trip. Gas is $5 per gallon primarily because demand is currently exceeding supply. Enron happened (actually during Clinton's watch) because of greed and unethical and illegal accounting practices.
Osama Bin Laden was cornered in the hills of Bora Bora, but we lost him due to a lack of boots on the ground- he got away in the one area we didn't have covered. Bush was told over and over in Iraq AND Afghanistan that we needed MORE TROOPS, Bush promptly FIRED General Shinseki for saying so.
All high level professional dissent regarding the war in Iraq was answered by termination, slander and disregard.
nobody does anything anymore about the assholes that get to make the decisions in this country. There is no democracy anymore. Mccain is crap and so is Obama. I dont know what will happen to this country but if the only options we have are those two aholes there is no hope and no future.
well we could pick at state and secede from the union.....I think it might work in GA....lots of deer hunters with guns...we can make Newt Gingrich our KING! LOL!

I said $9, but maybe it is about our price per barrel. The point I was making is that the price of gas has gone up for europeans too. Am I wrong?
