I wish Obama had also shown the middle finger to go with the talk and waving.

Even with this Air force One gaffe, 0bama earns my disrespect. He is either one of the three:

1. He is incompetent and a liar, because he was aware that he was authorizing his plane for a photo op, and misjudged the fire storm of outrage, lied about knowing about the event, and is too cowardly to take responsibility.

2. He is a puppet with other people actually in charge, and 0bama knew nothing about it, because he has people all over the White house that can just up and take his plane, without informing him, even if all they are taking his plane for is for a photo op.

0bama: "Where's my plane going to?"
Puppet master: "Just sign the authorization Barry"
0bama: "Is this a good idea?.... Hello....Is anyone there..... hello?"

3. Or lastly, he is oblivious to events around him, and so disrespected that people do not feel the need to go out of their way to tell him anything, and 0bama is not allowed to speak any specifics on this matter until the proper response is download into his teleprompter.

biden is a general moron.. like bush.. but he atleast can admit when he's wrong....
cheney is a manipulative evil sack of crap that will step on anything and anyone in his way... if promoting torture in the face of international law isn't proof of that.. then you're drinking the koolaide too...

clear things up for u?

hmmmm...

Yes...

Yes, I can see why you're upset. America is fortunate to not have suffered under such poor leadership in recent years.

Put down the pom-poms and take a good look at who you're cheering for.

Geez! At what point are people supposed to think for themselves?! Like I said, I wasn't even in the market and I knew it was all bogus. How anyone could have actually been involved in the process and (presumably) done their homework and still honestly believed that they could afford the $600k house on a $50k salary is just beyond stupid. Yes, lenders made it easy - too easy - but nobody forced them to sign on the dotted line.

so then you make above 250K per year?
even so.. his tax levels mirror those of clinton and reagan.. please explain specifics on how you're effected
See, this is what I'm talking about. The cheerleaders aren't even watching the game. And we're supposed to take you seriously? I'd like to - really - but I just can't.

You have a point here. Obama was too cowardly to use the middle finger like Bush did (probably the only thing Bush did right)

At times, the middle finger went straight into his nose, though, at times when he missed Cheney instructing him.

You just can't what???
you do realize that not everyone has a job that keeps them in the same town and the same house for 2 decades.. so regardless, people are in the housing market.. and are selling and buying new houses as they relocate... there are too many factors that played into it all to simply sit and say.. I told u so.. because while I didn't buy a house at that time.. I certainly would not be sitting here talking down to anyone who did.. because you don't know what they were being told by people that were "experts" in the industry..
If the spending is not helping to secure financial instututions and the economy so you and I can keep our jobs.. then tell me sir... what should we be doing instead??? I'm all ears... really..
and lastly....
you just can't what?
you can't explain how your taxes have gone up that has got you so p*ssed off to come in here and vent it??
please explain where and how you got screwed... I want to understand where the tax complainers are coming from.. if it really is a reality or if it's just political banter...enlighten us...
If you're going to call me a pom pom wielding cheerleader... please explain how I am misguided... by shining some light on where you've come to draw your conclusions...
you can't just come in here and blab rhetoric... and then not back it up with an example to illustrate what you're saying if you wan't to be taken seriously

obama came off as an egotistical creep today
