There's no difference between Obama and Mitt Rob-me. They both work for the same people. I'm gonna vote 3rd party, because why the hell not? I voted Obama in 2008 and was pumped when he won. But the day this was signed into law was the day I was done with Obama. Absolutely done. Your vote for either of them goes to forwarding the same agenda either way.

I LOL when they marginalize like this. No way they can beat China and Russia. I think they do their last looting, but I wonder where they are going to flee. Maybe Europe or South America. Keep the fat fishes under surveillance.

I cannot vote for either mainstream party either, it will be a third party.

i knew obama was worthless when i saw his acorn community organizer activities and when he was senator and when he opened his mouth on the campaign trail

[Rodney Leon]

obama thinks government is the answer to everything and youre surprised he signed something that empowered the government?

[Rodney Leon]

so how much more will you people all take before you do as the founders of the USA did and lets go up to the big kid on the block and bust a stick over his face and pick a good fight. they have no fear to use force and infact are almost giddy to do so ITS OUR TURN. JOIN WITH ME BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF AMERICA, LETS GO PICK A FIGHT AND KICK SOME ASS. for Washington For Jefferson and every single true patriot that started it, let us not drop the ball but rather let us hold true and fight for right

It all hinges upon 9/11 an easy date to remember since it is the same number you dial for emergencies. Gulible Fools

Look at WTC7 collapsing on youtude and tell me what you see not what you were told.

Look at pictures of the pentagon before the collapse just after the plane hit. There is just an 18 foot hole and no marks for a 40 foot tail or 128 foot wing span. And no debris from a 200 ton plane.

This is so horrible you do not want to believ what you see
