I already told you I'm not going to waste my time posting links for you when the issues are well known and obvious to the general public. The scare tactics used by Obama are so obvious and now predictable ... from the scare that grandma would get no health coverage and die if Obamacare did not pass or the USA economy would collapse if the debt ceiling bill didn't pass ... or the oceans would rise and flood the lands if the global warming initiatives like cap and trade didn't pass .... its the SOS over and over again and now we just sit back and roll our eyes every time Obama gets in front of a camera to push more liberal agenda.
Gee-whiz, how much fun is this! More baseless accusations!
How about this Donnie Doom:
I say the moon is made of cheese ... just look at it! It has been thus since forever and many people have made the claim ... I don't have to prove it ... I don't have to prove anything ... after all: I am nullgeo ...

Default More Than 6 Million Californians – Over One-Third of Them Children – Lived in Poverty in 2010

Not everyone can be successful and poverty here isn’t like poverty in other countries I don't see any starved kids looking for a chicken foot anywhere.

Nah. Just lack of originality and "nothing new under the sun."

Yeah ... who cares about all the unemployed or under employed ... hell, they can live in cars or tent cities ... the kids are fine ... maybe better without the video games and all ... just don't live around me and don't come begging for handouts ...

Oh wait ... there are no tent cities ... there are no people living in cars ... the government is paying these people to stay home with tax payer money and providing shelter and care to ... do nothing ... and say nothing ... all the government asks is you stay unemployed and keep voting democrat or else ... they will stop the free handouts ...

Too simplistic. Under today's rules in many states, the largesse is time-limited and not enough to just sit back and rely on. Many states also have "workfarre" systems under which you must work or attend training leading to work.

Not everyone wants to work, they want a handout, people who really want to work will find a job. The truth is hard to swallow.

Then how does the unemployed survive? In California alone if you just count the official unemployment of ~12% that's over 2 million people let alone the people they don't count (discouraged or gave up) or the under employed?

Two million people. That's filling up Dodger stadium 40 times. In reality we know the unemployment rate is easily twice the official number or 4 million people.

Well Donnie, here's your man to vote in then:

Rabid Dog Briefly Mistaken for Tea Party Candidate

Receives Standing Ovation at Missouri Rally


http://www.borowitzreport.com/wp-content/uploads/doberman.jpg (broken link)
JEFFERSON CITY, MO (The Borowitz Report (http://bit.ly/rhihai - broken link)) – A rabid Doberman Pinscher jumped on stage at a Tea Party rally in Missouri on Labor Day and barked at the crowd for nearly twenty minutes before people realized he was not a candidate.
The dog, later identified by its owner as “Mister Buster,” held the crowd spellbound as he barked, growled, and frothed at the mouth, eventually receiving a standing ovation for his exertions.
