Recipients of the credit will be required to conduct 100 hours of community service."

3) Harmed America's prestige and standing in the world as exemplified by Putin's ridiculing of Obama's socialist agenda.


I think I speak for most Americans when I say the country has an extreme case of buyers' remorse. The midterm elections can't come soon enough so we can rid the people of the most harmful incompetent Congress in history. And we can't wait for 2012 so we can be rid of this incompetent socialist marionette . We can only hope there is something left of our country by then. The better option would be for him to resign or be impeached as soon as possible.

We can't have this kind of mistake again. It's time to restore voting rights to only those who pay taxes. Only the contributors deserve the privilege of deciding what happens in this country.
Totally in agreement! Excellent post. See you in 2010 for the second Republican Revolution. I like that impeachment idea too.
