Nothing in my post said anything about what I thought about the Libya war and if it is an illegal war. I can say this, I will be all for an impeachment of Obama for providing support to NATO without putting any soldiers in harms way the moment Bush is arrested for war crimes against the country of Iraq because of his false allegations for the reason we needed to invade.
Would you arrest Congress members for giving him approval for the war?

And we all know that the only reason trailer trash exizt is because the evil people horde too much money, right? It has absolutely nothing to do with the personal chioces made some of the people living in the trailer trash.:thumbsup::yawn:

...you make it sound like there's something wrong with being trailer trash. :cool:

Incorrect. I am bi-partisan in wanting to see Presidents held to the same standards. Apparently you do not see an issue with what Bush did compared to Obama.

And that speaks volumes.

More partisan hackery backatcha :wave:

Bush got congressional approval, Obama didn't. There isn't any comparison.

We cannot solve a spending /borrowing problem by raising taxes let alone in times like these as Obama said before about raising taxes, but here we are. We don't need more taxes, we need more tax payers. The solution to high unemployment isn't to keep extending U/I benefits. I love it how Jeff Imelt tells companies to hire people while he dumped employees from GE. Just hire people already! That isn't how it works.

The simple fact that SSI was no money should be a clue of the problem we face. We are paying for people who retire now rather than it being socked away for us when we retire. That's the nanny state taking care of us!

Indeed.

That we have to BORROW more money to pay Social Security recipients (something Barack Obama admitted in the interview we're discussing) should put to rest once and for all the lie that there is, or ever was, a "social security lock box" or "trust fund" - the latter an oxymoron if ever there was one when it comes to congressional spending.

Well of course he did. Since he is secretly in control of the networks he probably feed them the questions they where supposed to ask before hand, right? I mean, who needs silly things like evidence when you can just make things up in order to make your opponent look bad? :p

That's right, it's how it is done. Very true, except there's one problem; so far he's showed a total lack of fiscal responsibility and now he's the champion of it. Theatrics at its finest.

It's now called a coffer. ^_^

Trailer trash or ghetto minimal difference other than the predominant color of the people involved. Still largely the result of lousy life choices by the people living there though.

Yup. That totally means he knew they where going to ask about Social Security so he could play his trump card.

Tell us you know that Obama knew the question was coming....

then prove it. :wave:

He was being questioned by his adoring media and it is an obvious question to ask so those who are serious about cutting this insane spending could be put into a bad light.

Tell us you're not suggesting he didn't know the question was coming...


Know it was coming? I doubt it. Suspect some question like this would be asked? I'm quite sure of it. Collusion between him and the media? Not buying it. Politics as usual? Of course, just like the republicans who are using this to wring as many concessions on spending cuts as possible before they give in on taxes. Nothing new under the sun.
