Wow that EXTRA $25 a week. Unless you're one of those overpaid types that got the job from being born in the right socioeconomic situation
Don't taxes go towards mostly military expenses and infrastructure as opposed to safety nets?
I know you'd rather spend 100 bucks on the bloated mismanagement of the military as opposed to 25 cents to help those NOT born with silver spoons
My property taxes went towards the schools all those little snoblings went to" even though it was just me and my Orange Tabby cat, but I understand the importance of education- otherwise you end up with cult45ers.
How much of each tax dollar goes to social programs as opposed to military and other stuff? REALLY

The 'where one comes from (so to speak) envy' is really strong with you...at least this week.

So, you met your wife in Australia? Or was it after selling the last house you owned in the U.S. ?

Living and looking at it from abroad, during the last 4 presidents... We saw a hatred towards Obama that was unprecedented! The rights complete opposition on almost anything Obama tried to do, during a global recession and two inherited unnecessary wars.

And that is looking at several news sources during those times.


I can't say other then it was because of Race! Most of the Reichwingers could not handle that a black man was in the White House. And they are even claiming HE was the racist one now.. They are truly deranged.


As a result, Obama could not do what he wanted, because of Reichpublican controlled Senate and congress 75% of the time Obama was in office.

Luckily he managed to stop the bleeding the Reichpublicans started with unnecessary tax cuts and two unfunded wars, during his two first years. After that the economy recovered, although slower then it could have.. Reichwingers were willing, and did sacrifice the American economy to stop a black man from governing.

So you are an American married to a Norwegian, or two Americans with permanent residency in Norway?

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any pressing reason for you to care about the behavior of the U.S. voting public.

I don't know who was the worst president ever, but he's the worst in my lifetime. The damage that has been done to this country in his 8 years of stupidity is going to take some time to fix. Thank GOD Hillary did not win.

These anti-Obama threads are very tiresome. W. drove the nation into the ground and Obama got us out of the muck. I really am beginning to feel this is all about race. I never have before but maybe I was being naïve. The visceral hatred of Obama, and it is visceral, has no rational basis. There is much to criticize him for, but most of what I read, especially on this forum, is all race related.

In your opinion.
Maybe instead of listening to Limbaugh you should do some reading on what Obama accomplished =
