Because of injuried sustained when he was a POW. He was tied up for days with his arms twisted back and above his head and back. That is a fact whether you like him or loathe him.

In fact, now that I think about it . . . we get charged usury rates (Mafia rates!!!!) on credit cards these days (and all sorts of fees, as well) and Congress allowed that to occur, too. There should be caps on interest rates that banks can charge as well as on exorbitant fees.

You put money in on your 401K and then you get taxed on it when you take it out.

Congress has done no big favors to the "ordinary guy" out there when it comes to taxes.

But... but... McCain would use his freezing powers to freeze the jello.

Then he would be able to nail it to the wall. Then, *gasp* our president will be chosen.

We're screwed.

Some of those people in the audience are freakin' me out.

That one guy in the green tie behind Obama looks like a 1970s porn star.....not that I'd know but from what I hear anyway.

Obama is a slick talker but I just can't get past what my grandpa told me:

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Was the last nuclear power plant built in this country at about the same time the feds put a ban on off shore drilling? Seems those two things would coincide.

Maybe T. Boone Pickens can help.
