So why is the President not ending these wars?
Forget about the dollars how about the lives of our soldiers?

Thanks to the Bush/Obama team for continuing WAR in the middle east.

Now it's a "noble" war in Afghanistan and Pakeestan.

There are not that many children in the US, so without them to spend the money on....


Joking, this number was staggering in 2007, now it doesn't incite much of an emotional response and in light of proposed spending, kills the arguement of deficit spending to fund a war hurt our economy.

It does not take rocket science to understand that Obama is attempting to stimulate economy and put money back into the hands of Americans. Bush took our money to give money to the rich via tax breaks during a time of war, which is unheard of. He also lied to get the U.S. entrenched in an illegal occupation as his cronies made billions via no bid contracts. See the difference now? Stop the Limbaugh speak, it makes you sound stupid!
