His idea of getting out of the house is a booze run, and all day I gotta listen to *** *** ***, people fighting (they drink and then fight), loud tv, barking dog, stomp stomp stomp, and cough cough cough hack retch belch...and the refrigerator ice dispenser which he uses day and night.

If you don't have a job and you're not rich, it's your fault.

Let them eat cake and all that.......

This country has gone straight to hell.
What I find funny is that the Party of "FREE" and Hey quit your job and we will take care of you crap is what has caused this softness! They are to blame for this. The GOP holds people accountable and think they should be responsible for themselves and to work for what they get.


So Curious of your opinion about obama saying this:
Still making excuses: Obama blames economic misery on Americans getting 'a little soft'
President claims U.S. had lost its 'competitive edge'

He told WESH-TV’s Jim Payne: 'The way I think about it is, this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft and we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades.

It just corrupts them from their primary responsibility to the American people.
Sadly that is the system we are with. Lobbyists fill the campaign coffers because it costs a fortune to retain seats. All the more reason for term limits. That would eliminate many of these types of issues. Plus many are elected and spend half their time in office working on their re-election campaign instead of doing their jobs.

So how do you feel about obama increasing Air travel fees?

Buses guzzle gas and contribute to global warming too. Maybe invest in some company working on a "beam me up scotty" system. Wonder if Obama will give em money like solyndra?

If he's such a drain on society, and you're such a productive one, why are you living in his place?

He's taking advantage of the conservative mantra - generate passive income. To me, he sounds like the consummate entrepreneur. You should be singing his praises.

Sucker. Your side is the same as the right. Heck, you are supporting all the intiatives that 4 years ago you hated and swore to stop.
Yep, a President can just walk in, and and make the rules. Really?

The whole "Occupy Wall Street" thing should be added to the next Stuff White People Like book, along with (if it wasn't in the last incarnation) "Supporting Barack Obama."

What I see are a bunch of whiny liberals who feel entitled to a $200K philosophy-major education
and, while they can quote Descartes out the wazoo, do not have enough common sense to realize
that Washington is where their beef should be, if they're going to whine at anyone about how they failed to make their goals happen.
