Whats happening to this country, now that obama is running it?
Posted by: | CommentsHes trying to tax the upper class more heavily, which is stupid, because they worked hard to get where they are. They shouldn’t loose that hard earned money because obama wants them too.
And now he is trying to use government run health-care? Has he seen what happened to canada with their government health-care? I read an article online about this woman who lived in canada, she developed a brain tumor and was told she had a 6 month wait before she could be treated. WTF? Then she came down to the U.S, and we took her in immediately and removed it. We have millions more people than canada does, so whats gonna happen if we get hurt badly? Are they gonna put us on hold?
Also, my dad just told me that they are trying to pass government run thermostats in our homes, to cut down on a/c electricity costs. And if you run ur a/c too long or set the Temperature too low, it shuts off the a/c. that is messed up. You should be able to keep your house at what ever Temperature you want. Especially if you are an elder, or have a condition where you cant be exposed to certain amounts of heat.
Finally, whats with him and trying to bann SUV’s? They do use a little more gas then desired, but they are needed for people who own boats, or trailers, or for large families. If we want an SUV, we should be able to buy one. He already banned Hummers from being made because they arent fuel efficient enough. he is such a hipocrit. Gee, I wonder how much gas he uses when he needs to fill up his 9 mile to the gallon stretch limo he uses when he travels ANYWHERE. Or using crap loads of fuel to fill up his air force 1 air plane. And by 2011, he is going to pass a law that states all cars being made must achieve over 30 something gallons to the mile. Well, that only eliminates 60 percent of all car dealerships.
Dont get me wrong, i am for saving the world. I do my share with going green. I recycle more then anyone I have ever met. Our electric bill is only 60.00 dollars per month as opposed to our friends whos bill is over 500.00 dollars per month. But Obama is just moving to fast with this going green.
Yes, Daniel K understands what im trying to say
McCain camp concedes Michigan, election now projects 330 to 175 for Obama?
Posted by: | CommentsI have lost my motivation. Screw the democrats….GOP will be back in 4 years when Obama screws everything up…count on it
According to the Chicago Sun-Times , by the end of the summer that will total eight this year. That has included New York in March, Chicago, their hometown, over Memorial Day, Los Angeles in June, Camp David in July, Maine in July where they visited Acadia National Park, and now Spain. Coming up is a trip to the Florida Gulf Coast on Aug. 14, said to be meant to encourage tourists who may be hesitant to travel to the coast because of the BP oil spill, and 10 days in Martha’s Vineyard starting Aug. 19.
We usually take 3 and people think we’re living large. **note to liberals…I pay for my own trips
Better hurry it’s getting late. Maybe the Nevada chicken lady? Joe the Plumber? Conservative part-time drag queen Rudy Juliannie?Maybe cuckoo nest escapee, Michelle Bachman? Magical underwear guy, Romney?Sarah I-can-see-Russia-from-my-back-porch Palin. Face it, you’re cooked and Obama will be the who CAN.
