With the lack of jobs, $1.5 million of federal stimulus money went towards a prostitution rehab in Dayton Ohio, Then I hear Warren Buffet doesn't pay or hardly pays any income taxes. There was word that W.B's secretary is paying more in taxes than he is. Obama is always advocating the rich should pay more in taxes. It's very hard to find work even a seasonal holiday job.

I'm african american and I don't know how these problems began. Was it leftover trash G.B. II left behind? Or is it the republicans fault by throwing out suggestions made by Obama.

I also heard that Boeing had presented a plan to bring it's factory to South Carolina however Obama stopped it because S.C. is a "right to work state" If this is true was this a good decision? If things don't improve by 2012 I will consider not voting for him.

I'm totally confused...... I don't know what's truth from fiction

Do you know WHY Buffet has a small tax bill ? He only takes $100K as a salary.

Obama is the first bi-racial President. Obama is Half White and Half African American. He is not 100% black which is why i believe the powers of be chose him. He was "born" in Hawaii so he is technically 100% Hawaiian.

#1 True

#2 False

#3 True

Mixing up a small amount of truth in a great big lie
is how you make a Democratic cake.

I agree, Obama needs to "step it up".

He needs to stop trying to work with those hateful idiots on the right who have no other goal but to defeat him in 2012. Screw'em. They'd rather run this country into the ground than do anything that may make things better for the American people.

In fact, it works to the Republican's advantage if things stay miserable. They have no incentive to do anything productive.

Obama wasted two years trying to work with these hateful idiots. Wasted. Two. Years. He should have gotten together with the Dems and rammed their programs through. Thats what a Republican would have done.

So if things don't get better you may consider voting for one of the clowns the Republicans are offering?

SRSLY?

Have you not been paying attention? Sweetheart, Google those sad people and watch some YouTube Videos from the "debates"... I'm sure you'll run screaming back here to Obama's defence.

Perry? Bachmann? Cain? Gingrich (YHGTBFKM) ....? Mr. Personality himself - Romney?

There is no real "choice" here.

Thanks!

IMO there's no real choice on any side.
I'd vote in Sponge Bob at this point..I am that disgusted with the state of politics today.

The republican congress is blocking raising taxes. President can not raise it on his own

I'm african american and I don't know how these problems began. Was it leftover trash G.B. II left behind? Or is it the republicans fault by throwing out suggestions made by Obama.

Both

I also heard that Boeing had presented a plan to bring it's factory to South Carolina however Obama stopped it because S.C. is a "right to work state" If this is true was this a good decision? If things don't improve by 2012 I will consider not voting for him.

That is not Obama. That is the NLRB. THE national labor relations board, which does fall under the executive branch but Obama did order it. The NlRb controls labor relations and Boeing violated the rules. Basically tried to break the union by moving locations.

Best place to find fiction is on Fox news. Stay away from the channel unless you like fiction and entertainment.

Let's see here-his mom was a white American and his pop was an African. Is that how you come up with your half and half blend?

Pretty much. He is not 100% African American.

Well, he was born in Hawaii so technically he is Hawaiian.
