WOW, what a racist set of comments, but no surprise coming from YOU.

Really, hmmmmm, I assume you have some proof of your claim or did you read it somewhere?

How much of the public support for the invasion of Iraq was a result of Bush's deliberate campaign of disinformation? A campaign designed solely to maufacture public consent.

Didn't you feel a little bit lied to?



Deregulation and "trickle-down" are the biggest reasons. The war costs are certainly no small factor.



Affordability and employment?

See deregualtion and trickle down, above. Worst economic policy since the 1920s. We're living with the consequences.
Sorta compares to the wife/girlfriend that gets beat up by her husband/boyfriend. She is mad at first and a few years later she gets over it and wants to forget it. HER FRIENDS NEVER FORGET!

Most likely you are a very good person. Let's just chalk it up to where you were raised.

So what does "Camelot" have to do with racism?

Nothing at all. The racism is from you. Mrs Obama is an attractive person. Why do you think she isn't? Who is claiming the Camelot stuff?

No, I do NOT think Mrs. Obama is attractive. I think the following are gorgeous: Donna Summer; Dianna Ross; Janet Jackson; Halle Berry; Beyonce; and ABOVE ALL, Diahann Carroll. You are entitled to your opinion about Michelle Obama. I do not share it.

Billy Dee Williams (even at his age) and Barack Obama are not in the same league.

Your expensive car's front end was crumpled by a drunk driver, and it was estimated by the insurance company that it would take $2,000 to fix the damage and make the car workable again. But you take it to a fly-by-night garage who hires kids for minimum wage who have no idea what they are doing, and they proceed to tear the car apart and beat on it with sledgehammers since they don't have any idea how to fix the damage. The fly-by-night garage then charges your credit card $100,000 (when the car was only worth $30,000 to start), and tells you that you can pick up the pile of wrecked car parts anytime.

Nah, that analogy's lame.

Now, if you modified it slightly, it might fit better. Like if you had a $98,000 bill sent to you by the previous owner of the car and then got angry about the $100,000 total, then you'd have something.
