Iran is developing nuclear weapons. We're 15 trillion dollars in debt. China is ramping up their military and their economy could overtake America's by 2020. Egypt is talking about repudiating its peace treaty with Israel. Real unemployment is in double digits.

But the majority of you all here think the greatest threat to the future is corporate greed?

Really? With war clouds spreading throughout the middle east and the debt climbing past our gross national product, your primary concern for the future is how much profit IBM makes?

Panic- fear - and losing personal confidence are the biggest threat...If a person BELIEVES..than that belief in the system keeps the system alive...Money for all intent and purpose has become...a religion - there is little reality and substance in our monitary system - it's a belief system - YOU start to believe that there will be a depression - there will be - once the human spirit is driven into the ground - depression results - mental and fiscal.

OBAMA and his his hirelings
because of this hack, his outrageous spending
his off the wall, "health care"
his self-worship, he has helped to bring our country to its knees
he is by far the worst problem we have!
I have been voting since McGovern
when I stood in line at age 18
why did I vote for him? because he was going to legalize pot!
My husband and his band used to play to help fund him
" Do a Number for George"
I have voted democrat ever since, not paying any attention to politics
I was wanting Hillary to win, but refused to vote for Obama after I paid so close attention to him and his cut throat ways
since he has been president I am shocked at where our country has fallen
too!
Even to him not supporting poor kids in DC for the voucher program!!
I thought at least he would stand for the very kids that his kids went to school with!!
But, oh hell no
he chose the TEACHERS UNION!
This scumbag has sunk so low as to do this to little kids
what a MF!!
This morning I head HOW many MILLIONS he has raised for HIM!!
And he screams at the rich!
What a low life
so, OBAMA is the worst threat, him and the hacks that kiss his ass

The biggest threat to the future of the United States is, without any doubt, the Democrat Party.

The liberal media telling people what to think . They always give an opinion that is slanted far left. Take notice all you democrats out there. See how the media tells you what to think .

Also notice if some guest on the program talks about the problems Obama has.. they will be cut off and the subject changed. I see this all the time.

People don't even know what is going on with our deficit and the spin to favor Obama is always there.

I am so tired of hearing Obama singing, now do you think it would be cool if Abraham Lincoln sang a song of Al Green? Now the media thinks it is cool to have a president singing of all things, but can't create jobs or even act presidential.
