oop's typo... meant to ask, how many thousands of new IRS agents were hired in 2009? See, there were at least that many government jobs created by this Administration.

Remind me again... how thousands of new IRS agents were hired in 2009?

Surprise... Maybe President Obama should run for President of the EU... Now there's an idea.

Interesting... For being such a "poor" country, I wonder who is really funding this $25M?
Hopefully it's coming out of the $450M a year we've been providing them over the years & not another unpublicized "stimulus bill"?

Hey, maybe our DHS Dir will implement the card being used here in qualifying whose "legal" or not... But then, do we really think the Drug Cartels & terrorists will participate in this program? Probably not... as they continue to ignore both Mexico's and the USA's drug and gun laws. Looks like "just" another Requirement that only law-abiding citizens will be obeying.

Maybe it will assist Mexico in protecting their borders from the onslaught of American's and Terrorists illegally smuggling weapon's or taking jobs from Mexican citizens?

Applause... Reminds me of a quoted conversation years ago between Pres. Kennedy & his Secretary Mrs. Lincoln. Went something like this:
Mr. President, why do you risk your life riding thru the crowds in your 'open' limo? and President Kennedy replied because those wanting to do me harm are those closest to me.

In the 1940's Norman Thomas was quoted in a US Presidential campaign speech... Google his famous quotes an look for the one which starts out with "the American people..."

Applause! More people on these discussion grps need to wake-up & expose the behind closed door dealings. Just like his self-appointed Czars, what he can't pass thru Congress, he'll circumvent in other ways. I believe Chavez does the same thing in his own way

Finally, other's like yourself who have seen thru his mask are sharing what many are afraid to divulge

No surprise on Media bias. If "mainstream" had reported on just half the stuff on then
Sen. Obama, he wouldn't be in office today.

For the record, there are 57 Islamic States & Sen. Obama referenced campaigning in 57 States on 4-5 different occasions... so just a single "slip of the tongue".

As for Gov. Palin, a poorly-timed slip of the tongue, which was immediately corrected... But ignored for obvious reasons.

Regarding coming to the aid of our "dear" SKorean allies... Didn't they just spit in our eye on a recent trade agreement. Guess they need our friendship now.

We were warned what would happen well in advance of this latest banking bill being rahmed-down our throats... just as we were warned of the hidden-clauses of the HCR bill, etc., etc.... blah, blah, blah... and here we sit complaining... yet we let our legislator's and this Administration continue their "transparent-way's" of portraying their "must-have" & highly consumer beneficial bills.

People... whether its levying taxes and fees on small businesses, manufacturer's, oil companies, banks, your healthcare provider's, etc., THOSE fee's will be passed-down on us the consumer. Surely you don't really think the fore mentioned will absorb the penalties, fees, taxes, interest rates, etc. out of their own pockets do you???? It's called "the Nudge"... This Administration knows the American taxpaying citizen would NEVER go along with increasing their "taxes", but instead would "ok" banks & big business absorb the hit... Don't believe me... read Cass Sunstein's book entitled "Nudge"... Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth & Happiness (2008). If Sunstein's name rings a bell, he is another Harvard buddy of our President and on leave from Univ Chicago School of law while he fulfills his role as 'another' of many Obama Czar's as the current Admin of the Office of Information & Regulatory Affairs... authoring other books like "Why Societies Need Dissent" ('03) & "The Second Bill of Rights" ('01). As then Sen BO promised us, he would surround himself with those he admired and respected in guiding his agendas. In the "Nudge" the facts are laid out by the government to fit their means in convincing people to do things the governments way... (I say with the help of Mainstream Media), and when the people refuse to listen, the Gov't forces it down their throats (Hmm; HCR) because as another Obama supporter put it, we are like Homer Simson and just aren't capable of making the right decisions without Gov't direction. In the "Second Bill of Rights" he writes about "FDR's Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need it More Than Ever"... FDR was a Progressive people (formerly known as a Liberal)... and here is another name for you to Google if your wondering why we are where we are today (Norman Thomas 1884-1968).. check out his infamous quote about the "American People..."

It's all there people... and your talented and highly investigative reporting Mainstream Media who can spend weeks on Lindsey Lohan, Michael Jackson, Mel GIbson, et al. just don't seem to be interested in reporting all the news we deserve to hear in exposing the "Truth"...

Joe know's... tell me it ain't so Joe...
Truth is the Dem's (excuse me, "Progressives") are counting the 11-million illegal's which are about to receive Immediate access to the Polls once BO get's his Comprehensive Immigration bill which includes immediate AMNESTY. Then there's the Puerto Rico Democracy Act which was passed a couple months ago... which will bring in another 4 million votes and more Progressive Senators and Congressmen.... oh, and let's not forget the Felon's who will be voting and the disbanded ACORN groups who have established themselves under different Community and State Organizations.... So I guess we Won't be surprised.
