If we spend 800 billion plus interest of our grandchildren’s money, he can keep unemployment under 8%

FYI,every US taxpayer is paying off the debt of past grandparents.A lot of the things in place to make our lives more enjoyable or to allow business to transport product was built with borrowed money.Think of it this way,it like your parents left you a home to live in that was not yet paid off they added some improvements to it since their parents lived in it before them and then you do some things also because the sewer system backed up and some tree's fell over and the power went out,you can't pay for it so your kids get left the house and the bills that go with it.

How appropriate is it that the most common celebration of the day is the passing of portraits of dead presidents over retail counters. But things have changed - Jacksons are preferred over Washingtons and Lincolns, Grants don't get much respect, Jeffersons get NO respect, and perhaps the best man who never was president gets top billing, at least as far as circulation goes.

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." If he didn't say it, then it is misattributed, but still painfully true.

Actually what Washington said was about a local restaurant in Valley Forge owned by Betsy Ross,one of his subordinates asked if Betsy Ross's restaurant was any good and Washington replied "No one goes there anymore,its too crowded"

There appears to be no evidence Washington said those words. But he was clear in his distrust of government and what it may become in the hands of those not to be trusted. My personal favorite presidential quote: I---Did---Not---Have ---Sex----With---That---Woman.

Anybody who has the time to post like this, needs to seriously get a life. I could make just as many examples of stupid stuff that Obumble has said, but I have better things to do.

Sure you do

Saying that you are pathetic would be a compliment.

Whoooaaaaaa Nellie, you hit a home run with that list, all the others trying to keep pace are running using a walker and tennis balls. Great list.

"I've now been in 57 states. I think one left to go." "On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today". What they'll say is, 'Well, it costs too much money,' but you know what? It would cost about--- It it would cost about the same as what we would spend. Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us. (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We're going to do it. It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about---- hold on one second. I can't hear myself. But I'm glad you're fired up, though. I'm glad." The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system." I bowled a 129. It's like - it was like the Special Olympics, or something." "Everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma. They end up taking up a hospital bed, it costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early and they got some treatment, and a, a breathalyzer, or inhalator, not a breathalyzer. I haven't had much sleep in the last 48 hours. It was interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate.

Making it impossible for presidents to do great things. What will they stoop to next? ( Er Matt. Been getting into the weed a little too much lately, by any chance? )

and people like you that believe it.

What lies?

Leaving out information to a story in order to give the story a twist is LYING. Turn on Fox any time of day (I do) and within a few minutes you will see that or worse.If you don't believe me start Fact Checking them (I do). I'm sure that you could care less that your being LIED to because what they are saying is EXACTLY what YOU want to hear

Why 1) you don't supply said examples and 2) you are insulting me? I only asked a question.

same subject, what presidents say. For as long as I can remember from as far back as Nixon, we have had every president tell us we need to reduce our addiction and dependency on froeign oil. And yet the big O, with a stroke of a pen shot down the Keystone pipeline. Now there was a real dictatorial thing to do. Sometimes these idiots in DC need to get rid of the 'R' and 'D' labels and go with the 'A' label and do what is right for America. Vote folks, it is the only way change can happen.

Interesting story about that pipeline that failed to get much coverage. The Dems had a Bill last week that stipulated that the oil to be sent through the Keystone pipeline was to be for the use of the USA and not shipped abroad. The GOPers voted it down. Face it that oil is for the World market thats the way things work and the oil companies will always control the amount on the market at any given time in order to ensure a High profit for themselves. Gingrich talking about the ease of getting $2.50 per gallon gas was the BIGGEST LIE of the YEAR.The GOPers should have laughed him off the stage but they didn't because those fools actually believe $2.50 a gallon gas is possible

that control the senate?

was

Cable networks are a ridiculous source for information. Singling out Fox implies that the others are credible, which couldn't be further from the truth. They are good for entertainment value, to see how a fat pile of steamy bull S... is served up and passed off as news.
