Hiding?
That's true!

I got a call from him asking if he could drop by and sign a few bills. I told him I was kinda busy, but there were some peeps on c-d that may be interested. He said, yeah, he knows, but jennysquirrel wasn't picking up. I said well, why don't you just sign 'em at the White House? He said good idea, Captain.

What is farcical is the regularity of Obama's lies and liberals running helter-skelter, tripping over themselves trying to deflect criticism from him.

Obama has made attempts to placate the liberals with Gitmo, making embryonic stem cell research federally funded, reversing the healthcare conscientious objection rule from abortion, etc.,..etc... Obama has miserably failed to be successful with the transparency he promised, slamming the door on lobbyist in his administration, elimination of earmarks in legislation, and making question appoints of Deomcrats to key administrative positions (whom many call tax-cheats).

So much for "change", and "hope" has taken a dirt road.

Overall your post is hysterical and so true!! I do wish instead of "liberals" you would use the word Obamatrons or Obamabots. Myself and most of my friends are liberals and we don't believe in Obama nor do we defend Obama. We all wanted Hillary.

The number of Democrats defending Obama is rapidly shrinking....pretty much just the diehard Obamabots and they are their own kind.....they aren't normal liberals and they aren't true Democrats.

Sorry that I had painted you with my paintbrush. I will try to be more selective in future descriptions of rabid Obama supporters.

The honeymoon didn't last long. One has to wonder where all the positive polls for Obama are being taken. Polls are all over the place, with approval ratings in the 60%+ range down to the 50s and falling. The non-scientific MSNBC on-line poll shows dismal results for Obama. Rather confusing.

It is worth to note that some previous supporters in the MSM are beginning to grumble. They may as well paint a bullseye on their forehead.

This current crop of politicians are as mediocre a bunch as have come to Washington in many years. America has sunk to a D.C. and New Orleans type of voting, i.e., vote for the most immoral politicians in sight. I suggest that we all get ready for a lot more dirt roads in America as the Nation losses its leadership position in world economics.

My bet is for a restructuring of the dollar much like a third world country.

Where were the cameras? Teleprompter Man loves the cameras and using 20 pens to sign. Where was the show? I missed it!

I didn't care where the last 54 (ones in my lifetime) budget bills were signed and neither did anybody else, so why should anyone care about where this one was signed.

Spending spree? 1% of the budget bill was "earmarks". Repulicans and Democrats both put in what they thought was best for their states. Thats how new roads get built, and research funded. If you have a problem with what your senator asked for, then contact him, it's his earmark being added to the budget of running the government.

that $410 billion was under last year's Congress and why should Obama veto it because it has earmarks?The omnibus bill keeps the Government working which is something that always seems to become a crisis whenever Conservatives are in power ( remember NEWT in the 90s wanting to shut down DC?}
