Obama will leave the White House when Geitner calls him up and tells him we can't borrow and spend any more money...or when Chinese food is referred to as Continental American Fare and we replace our silverware with chopsticks.

I tried to rep you bit I couldn't!
I think Mitt Romney could make a run if the religious bigots of my own party would let him. But the fact of the matter is if the economy is doing well in 2012, and people have and are content with ther jobs, Obama is going to win. Whether or not he is responsible for it. And I'm not an economist, so I can't say who's responible for what.

The Economy will NOT be doing well in 2012 BECAUSE of the policies coming out of the Obama Administration and the (D)s in Congress.

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval

A 33 point spread in Gallup. You would think folks would learn and try to maintain or regain some sense of dignity.
It's called trends wise up a little!

Jan 09 approval 62 Jan 09 disapproval 34

Jun 09 approval 54 Jun 09 disapproval 45

That's why I'm so surprised he wants a Cap and Trade bill passed where voters will see a HUGE increase in their personal expenses before the 2010 midterm elections.

Next year when your monthly electric bill cost $30 more per month and you can't sell your house w/o EPA permission his approval rating will be in the 20s and the Democrat majorities in congress will evaporate over night

Lobbyist? You know they're expecting lobbyist to spend more money in congress this year than they did last year right?

The dem leaders do not think people are smart enough to see the hidden cost per household. Afterall, most of them are section 8 anyway and get their heat bills paid by welfare.

The lib party is destroying themselves by this crap and it looks like we finally may be able to get rid of them once and for all.

Remember:

HOPE AND CHANGE

YES WE CAN

is now

Aww, forget it and you have no change left to take away.

and

NO WE CANNOT now!
