I agree with this paragraph. Why should taxpayers be forced to subsidize the 2% of speculators that got caught up in housing speculation and now can't afford their investment?

Man, if that aint democracy at work... I don't know what is.....

Sounds like as a 3rd class you were an idiot and may not have improved if you think NObama is the answer!!!

Hope you're no longer in the military, because if you are you can look forward to NObama's defense plan!!!

Notice no "E Pluribus Unum"? What's the next thing Soros will think of for this joker?


Comments are funny from the socialists. Oh, we should be talking about issues! Hell, I read the Marx Manifesto in elementary school, I know his positions.


Have George Bush check out the White House back window, I think I saw NObama's moving van parked outside!!!

Even Obama finally realized it was arrogant. Well, I never said he couldn't change his mind.

It was a bit silly not waiting to get the nomination, not waiting for the election or not waiting for the inauguration.
