cera01, You forgot a tax. I was told by a friend who lives in San Antonio that if you buy a home in certian parts of town they actually send out an a person to assess the VIEW, and you are assessed a VIEW tax on your property.

sallietoo, All this money going to Acorn was hidden in the stupid Stimulus bill that no one had time to read. Who knows what else is in that bill. The wording is so general and it does not give details. They add the details as they go.

atticus89dude, no prolem with China fighting us anymore, they need us to buy all of the junk they produce. Their choice would be to go to war or go broke.an eit

Manald, Right you are. However they do not have to drop a nuke anywhere in the US to hurt us. All that is needed is an explosion several miles above us or even close to us over the Pacific and it will create an electrical magnetic pulse (EMP) that will wipe out our elactrical grid and anything else that has circuit boards or chips. Thus includes computers and CARS ! Iran , Russia , USA, and China have all been working on and testing this kind of weapon. They know it works. It is just a matter of getting it close to the USA. The CIA and the Pentagon have discussed this problem for at least a decade. Iran has been experimenting with mid air detonation of rockets for some time. All they need is an old Scud missile mounted in an old frieghter ship and fire it from an location just off of our shore. It only needs to go a mile or two into the air and then detonated. N. Korea can not have a missle that even gets close to us. And Iran cannot get a nuclear wearon of anykind. Period! Mr. Obama is way over his head in trying to deal with these killers. Google "EMP" and read about it. Scary stuffbut true.

Obama has no clue as to running a businees. All he wants to do is redistribute money to the people he feels have been left out of the American Dream. You are supposed to bite the bullit and help. The more he taxes you the more likely it is that you will lay someone off. He does not get it. I guess he thinks all of your employees will stay on the payroll and you will work for free. The sad thing is a lot of people who work for small business voted for this guy. When I was young and didn't know any better I thought the people I worked for had all the money in the world because the had nice cars and nice houses. I felt I was being short changed because I was making all the money for them. Then I grew up and understood that they should have things I don't have. After all they worked hard and took all the chances to start and run the business. I also noticed as I got older that I had a better house and car than some of my employers. They do not have bottomless pockets. Maybe Obama needs to grow up and learn a few things as well.

Can anyone answer this question? Obama gave a speech and talked about the need for everyone to have health care. He states that he had a personal interest in this matter because his mother died and had no health care. Can someone explain to me why and how did he live and wander around New York for some years and then attend Harvard and recieve a law degree instead of working to pay for health insurance for his mother? It seems to me he made a bad choice then and now wants to use it as an arguement for universal health care for all. Was he young when she died? Please help me out in understanding this.

gTex. You are absolutely right about Obama being a front man. I have thought this from the beginning. He has no experience and has never worked outside of politics long enuogh to know anything. He was walking around Chicago strumming up votes for his buddies when suddenly the president of the Illinois congress called him out of the blue and asked if he would like to be a senator in Illinois. It is right in front of your nose my friend. They wanted somebody without a history to be groomed for the job . In Illinois that is hard to find. Nobody , I repeat NOBODY ever came up thru Chicago politics on their own. If he was not connected to the machine he would still be earning a living trying to get little old ladies and minorities to vote for Daly. Did you ever stop to think what the heck a Havard lawyer was duing working as a commumity organizer?

Please think for a moment before calling them innocent. There is a differennce between innocent and not guilty. They did not have enough evidense to try them , but that does not mean they are innocent. Ramember the O.J. Simpson trial? The verdict "not guilty" . It was not "innocent. We have no obligation to keep these people on our soil . Should we give them money and send them to Miami Beach. We don't know their intentions. Take them back to Afganistan. If they are farmers let them farm in a place of their choosing. If they are terrorist , let them terrorize in a place of our choosing.
