So you are one of the rich he wants to pay more taxes. You mean you got away from moms tit long to do time in the service? well thank you for that. And a business man well one day maybe you will be able to retire too unless obama is reelected. A racist I might be but it beats a monkeys ass Well monkey ass go to fucking work and make your boy some more money.
You might want to check where your money went to save the economy. Yea yea yea he saved gm I know did you get your investment check? Did our tax dollars go to all the failed global warming companies? Is health care going to save us all. Hell no
my wife is 71 and was told she could not get certain medical care. As far as taxes go was that GW that cut taxes and obama just past it along.

How would you know about sucking dicks?
Most of the time? All of the time, but there are no laws against being one. Today I layed by the pool while waiting on my FEMA check from last years flood which damaged some of my outbuildings, should come to $62000 or so. I don't use the outbuildings or anything, they are way too old, but they qualified for the "Emergency relief" so I used them for that purpose. I will probably sock it away into more gold and silver that goes into my IRA. I harvested Peas last week and I planted another crop too, first time I ever got 2 crops in, thunderstorms are getting bad now so I insured them this time, which I don't normally do.
I assume you claimed whatever money you got from last years tax return as income for this year right?
4.7 million people went on disability actually.
People with bad math skills are racists?
spin machine much muyloco?
clinton found a way to compromise. and it wasn't just him who moved to the center. REPUBLICANS also did... there were compromises on both sides...
Clinton wasn't forced to do shit, neither were the republicans, they just decided to work together, instead than for themselves..
by the way, unless you control 60 seats, a SUPER MAJORITY, it only takes one senator to ask the bill comes back for more debate, it's called the 'filibuster' ... it's not a constitutional principle, it's a fucked up senate rule...

thought we should put some facts in here. numbers can seem crazy with zero explanations about them..link at end
A CDC study shows that 47.5 million US adults (21.8%) reported a disability [1] in 2005*, an increase of 3.4 million from 1999. Arthritis or rheumatism continues to be the most common cause of disability, while back or spine problems and heart trouble round out the top three causes.
Among adults reporting a disability, the most commonly identified limitations were difficulty climbing a flight of stairs (21.7 million, 10.0%) and walking 3 city blocks (22.5 million, 10.3%). That means that 1 in 10 adults have trouble walking a distance equal to walking from the parking lot to the back of a large store or through a mall.
The number of people reporting a disability increases with age, and women have a higher prevalence of disability than men at all ages. There are approximately as many "baby boomers" (ages 45–64; 17.3 million) affected now as older adults (age 65+, 18.1 million). Given the size of the baby-boom generation, the number of adults with a disability is likely to increase dramatically as the baby boomers enter into higher risk age groups over the next 20 years.
Increasing physical activity and reducing or preventing obesity and tobacco use can eliminate some of the underlying causes of disability for some people and prevent secondary conditions in those already affected.

What you don't know is what condition we would be in had we not had that stimulus, it might have been much better, but it might have been worse - so you don't know at all if it worked or not. Do you actually think that the very act of Obama's taking office caused the economy to collapse? An economy this bad as you surely know, takes years to get that way, Obama walked into a host of crap.
That being the case, you can't claim that Obama caused this recession and you can't claim that his (and Bush's) packages didn't help. Unless of course you are looking only to blame Obama for tough times.

In order:
"who is shouting that the rich need to pay more" - those who accept that our current debt and deficit is untenable and would like the rich to share in the discomfort that deficit and debt brings.
"Why is there a war on women" - because the Tea Party "revloution" wound up placing a bunch of rightist ideologs into positions of power and they don't like women having rights
"Why is he destroying the country" - I don't know that he is, what exactly is he doing that is "destroying the country"?
Um, your figures are wrong, the rich don't pay 64 percent of all income taxes, and even if they do, they own far more of all the nation's assets
95 percent pay none? not correct, 49 percent pay none.
I don't understand your... "maybe the women can't do with their bodies what they want, that he (who?) knows better.
Explain what to my grandkids? That a sitting president reduced taxes and started two wars that lead to a nearly insurmountable debt AND a recession that, unless we jump start will continue to contribute to a failure to reduce our national debt. I will explain that to my grandkids.

Wasn't me who got lost there NoDrama
I said - "Really, who in their right mind would vote for any government official that signed a pledge such as "no matter what happens, no matter what the emergency or necessity i will not raise taxes"."
Whereupon you said - "Apparently in 1988 there were 48,886,097 people who did."
And then I said - "I had heard that the right was against bloated government but I didn't really understand the extent of the problem - 48 million government officials?"
Note my original statement - government officials.
London? This link has nothing to do with the people that are receiving SS or SSI payments its a health website . Has NOTHING to do with amount of new people on SS Disability increases.
Like I said, you got lost, because in your original statement you asked WHO in their right mind would vote for someone like that.
48,000,000 people voted for Bush Sr, and he said "read my lips, NO NEW TAXES."
You might be too young to remember him.
