Our neighbour abandoned his house 9 months ago it's still empty. Everyother house, just about, is for sale or empty. Our house value has taken a major dive. We know PLENTY of epople who have lost their jobs and can't get another one, and not for a lack of trying.

The job market in the DFW area has improved over the last six months and I know several people that had been laid off last year that have found new jobs. As a contractor I keep an eye on the job market and there are more listings than there were lasy year, that is improvement. Granted it is nowhere near what it was during the Clinton years but the situation is slowly improving.

People say lots of things. Some of it is true sometimes. Lots of it is BS lots of the time. Evidence is what speaks.

Got some?

If you have some credible evidence, why didn't the GOP have it two years ago at election time?

2) Get your facts straight. Bush admitted he had an alcohol problem before becoming a Christian and changing.
What did Bush ever admit to concerning his cocaine habit?

3) Why do people with no facts at all try to sling mud and change the subject by saying things without support that have nothing to do with the original topic?
Answer: immaturity and a lack of the ability to discuss a topic logically.

Please see your "point" #1 above.

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
lol What are you talking about? Bush always used a telepromter for the intro press conference.

What do you think he read his intro notes off of? I'll find the picture later.

If you are claiming Obama used one to answer questions, then you are misinformed.
