As soon as Congress votes tonight, Pelosi promises to do her Linda Blair impression from The Exorcist. BE WARNED. Do NOT look Pelosi directly in the eyes. Stay tuned.

Thanks Joanie.

The Chinese will be happy to be your boss in the future. Assuming you are employable.

As I said, we Americans are too busy fighting with each other to notice that the much of the rest of the world is passing us.

I hope you're having a great weekend in beautiful Columbus!(Not)

Question for all you conservatives: Where do you think unemployment would be had McCain been elected? Suppose also he had a Republican Congress. How would you support your conclusions? Just curious, not trying to start anything, this time.

Let's see. We have facts and we have speculation.

Fact: Unemployment is over 10% and Obama has been President for nearly a year. He has a mojority in both houses. He also stated that his stimulus plan would keep unemployment from going of 8%. By his own measure the stimulus is not working.

You can speculate on what would have happened if the other party was in power but they are not. It is entirly Obama's and the Democrats' ball of wax.

The difference here is that he was actually able to fix it. That same year the economy grew by 8% and unemploment droped by 2.5%. The dollar also became extremely strong unlike what we are seeing now.

The difference is that we are talking about Reagan in his THIRD YEAR of being president, as opposed to 10 months for Obama.

And he made no promises that huge spending would fix the economy or waste his time blaming his predecessor. I would also argue that this was a worse recession. He inacted policies that actually fixed the problem.

All this is unimportant since he is not the President right now.(He's dead. Look it up). You might want to check and see what happened to the Republicans in congress in 1982 because of our economic woes.

The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it. You've got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I've still got a lot to teach you.

Unless you are a ghetto black, a chicano gang member, or an illegal alien, nothing is more disgusting than to admit to have fallen for the Hope and Change nonsense at this dismal point.

The difference is that Reagan loved America and wanted to fix the economy.

But I'm not so sure that Obama does.

The rich been doing it to the poor since the beginning of time. The only difference between the Pyramids and the Empire State Building is the Egyptians didn't allow unions. I know what this guy is all about, greed. He don't give a damn about Bluestar or the unions. He's in and out for the buck and he don't take prisoners.

Thank you, it's from Wall Street. Every once in awhile,(not very often.....) I find a quote that really fits the situation. Have a nice day!

This is great news for the leftist/marxist Pelosi Administration.

In combination with the monumental success of "hyhenating" us into mere fractions of Americans, constantly telling our least fortunate, mostly minority citizens that sloth is good, and that prosperous Americans are Evil, the Pelosians should take total control over the dismal future our children will face.

It's a GREAT time for the least among us. Pelosi and her ilk may have WON their WAR against the American way of life.
