They are not melting in Antarctica (and other places); therefore, it can't be "global warming" since it is not happening globally!

Just keep your eyes closed - just like the economy crisis

The North Pole has become an island for the first time in human history as climate change has made it possible to circumnavigate the Arctic ice cap.

Default When was that said?

Can you please give up your source with a link?

Who was the President in office in 2003 that said Fannie and Freddy needed and over-sight committee to regulate the "mortgages for everyone and everyone..." put into play under CLINTON's administration?

This is the problem...too many people in this country are clueless as to HOW LONG this problem has been brewing. Easy to blame the admin in office if you aren't aware of the facts. Shameful for congress members who KNOW the truth to be twisting/spinning/completely ignoring the facts and lying with straight faces to the public.

Well the entire congress has said they didn't know. The democrats including Barney frank and schumer stopped a attempt at over site of Fannie Mae and mac in 1985, Frank even said that if their were problems the the feds could bail them out.

I hear people blaming Clinton, but I dont remember any Fannie or Bear Stern bailout back then he even left a huge surplus, which Bush gave to the rich.

There was no bailout b/c the giving away had just commenced...

When you cut the defense budget, you're bound to come up with a surplus.

Gave to the rich...ok. Not that I thought it was a good idea by ANY means, but it was based on what you paid in. You don't pay in, you don't get back. You pay in a little, you get back a little. You pay in a lot, you get back even more.

Why should such a small percentage of this country carry the rest?

Perhaps you are pointing the stupid finger in the wrong direction. making up garbage doesn't make it so. Only a lowly democrat would do such a thing, and you accomplished nothing with your wild accusations. I suggest you find a hobby in an area where you might have a clue...
Politics are way over your head...
