As we all know, its congress that writes the spending bills. As far as I
know Bush didn't veto any of the bills congress passed or damned few. ie
imo he allowed too much spending. BUT, we only have nobamas word for how
brilliant he is. No records to show it. Remember how dumb Bush was
compared to Kerry, then the records showed quite different?

I also think Bush was one of the better presidents of recent times. At
least he knew how many states there are and he didn't need a teleprompter to
speak at the press club.

I don't recall Obama saying he is brilliant. On the other hand, we do
have the Noble Prize committee's word. And, he clearly is smart, IMHO.

Obama is also able to speak without a teleprompter. How often did Bush
speak without a teleprompter or other aids?

This was Obama's spending bill, as worked out with his Dem collegues prio
to becoming President. They just couldn't *WAIT* to get a free pen in
there to push through a couple bills as fast as possible and get the Pen
in Cheif to sign off on them.

JEFF! STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID!!!

He was nominated within a WEEK after taking office!
After Obama and Gore getting the NPP, it now amounts to nothing.
Like I said, a popularity contest. We have a celebrity President.

Sure. Listen to him when he speaks without one. I bet Eunice Kennedy was
REAL HAPPY when he opened his mouth without the TOTUS in sight.

He is NOT that smart, he's indecisive, and he's in way over his head. I
hope the US can survive his one-term popularity contest.

Larry Summers is from Stanford. He is not an idiot. His secretary of
energy, like him, has a Noble prize. His Supreme Court nominee is very
well spoken. His director of the NIH is an outstanding scientist,
Christian and evolutionist, not to mention a brilliant geneticist who
helped discover the gene for cystic fibrosis.

Could you please tell me which people he appointed are idiots and why
you think they are?

Earth. Did he have a teleprompter when he debated Sen. McCain? I was
going to say that old guy with all the white hair, but, I have too much
respect for McCain.

Besides, he also debated the present President of the Senate.

He is now the Senior Senator from Massachusetts. He was the nominee for

It is well known that when Obama's teleprompter goes down, Obama can't
speak. Even Biden makes jokes about how badly Obama needs his teleprompter.

A debate is a format where a teleprompter is illsuited because a
teleprompter is designed to display the speech that is being made, not
provide new instantaneous information that would be needed to participate in
a debate.

Debated the President of the Senate? That's the Vice President of the United
States. When Obama debate Dick Cheney? Obama's train is so far off the rails
that Cheney would have told Obama to go fuck himself.

So.

He's a liberal, and the liberal media pretty much ignored the story
nationally. The locals didn't even cover it very well. I didn't hear it on
the news at all, but got the story on local talk radio -- the topic was the
imbalance in the media, and the Kerry Kid was an example.

Vin Diesel,,er I mean Van Jones; the Maoist that just resigned, you know,
what's her face, Tim Geitner; can run the Treasury but can't figure out
TurboTax, his 'school safety czar' who is a member of NAMBLA (NAtional
Man-Boy Love Association, if you didn't know), various other Communists
and Maoists. And the fact he was going to charge ACORN with making the
Census. There's some open honesty right there, boy!

Which says more about how bad Obama is than how bad Bush was. Wait, Obama is
a One Termer, Bush served two terms. That says more about how bad Obama is

You should refrain from countering Obama's single term with Bush's two

important to appear in public like a starlet at the AVN "Ass To Mouth"
Video Awards! I guess her political views aren’t the only thing leaning
left! The poles are rising! (lol)

The lefty kooks can say what the want about President Bush, but compared to
the way the economy grew rapidly under President Bush for nearly eight
years, makes BO look like a massive failure in just over eight MONTHS. The
way the economy is tanking and the deficit is ballooning, to the tune of
Trillions of dollars since BO took office, is hard to explain away. Is
that really the "change" voters thought they were getting? Not so much.

If he actually did, dr_jeff, it was one of the FEW times he spoke during his
one hundred and some odd days IN the Senate of his four years as a US
Senator.

Imagine, we voted for a man whose ONLY experience was one hundred and some
odd days actually IN the Senate LOL

There were debates with the Democratic Presidental candidates around the
time of the primaries.

Really? Most of the budget deficit while Obama was President was under
Bush's budget, which lasted until the end of September.

Obama didn't cause the current recession.

Really? Which of the people whom I mentioned were lobbyists? None.

Which of the people that Obama appointed were lobbyists and tax dodgers?
Evidence, please.

Yes, I love our country whether republicans or democrats are in power. I
just LIKE it better with a center left coalition. Now, besides the Maine
senators, who have the republicans got to offer for a coalition of
moderates?

Given the posts you have put on this group over the past year, I can

True, the Dims in Congress who passed the spending bills did that. BO has
only succeeded in making it worse. If we ever allow this goofy healthcare
takeover and Cap and Trade nonsense to become law, it will get ever worse
yet.

How do you think we can continue to spend TRILLIONS, we do not have, without
sending the economy into a tail spin by increasing taxes on individuals and
small business to pay for a government run healthcare system, dr_jeff?

Taxes must go up to cover those tremendous increases in the national debt
that will result, and millions more US jobs will be sent overseas as
companies are forced to move more of their production offshore to escape the
"carbon tax" costs.

Search the Congressional Record for the information you seek WBMS, dr_jeff.
You are partly correct however, many of the tax dodgers he wanted to appoint
withdrew when their tax dodging we made public
