I know there’s The President’s Own band but where do I audition to be the White House Blues Band drummer? That’d boost the ratings for the State of the Union addresses.
I look at it this way. Worst case scenario Gingrich becomes Prez next year and Obama releases a “Greatest Covers” album that goes platinum. At least we’ll have cool tunes while the ship of state goes ‘Titanic’ on us.
Obama’s supporters refute any suggestion that his agenda is to turn the US into a socialist state. Only time will tell. But I found interesting the story a friend of mine related to me recently:
I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about 9 years old. I asked, “Is Castro a good guy or bad?”
Dad said he couldn’t tell! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana at the time. Dad was in the Army there.
Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question.
Ike was president.
This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba. Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.
This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960s. His family was more fortunate than most, as they were able to bring a suitcase…and $100 when they fled Castro’s newly formed revolutionary paradise.
Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, watermelon, and fresh ears of sweet corn. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide…while celebrating the birth of our beloved America…on the Fourth of July.
We began with a simple discussion about our country and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington.
But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. “You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a communist.”
So we shouldn’t vote for Romney, because he might try to follow the White Horse Prophecy and overthrow the U.S. government and replace it with a Mormon-controlled theocracy?
And by the way, he was not a commun1st. More like a Stalin1st. Check the differences.
By all European standards of Social1sm (from Commun1sts to center-left), Obama is what _we_ call a Liberal, which means the right side of the scale. He might believe in some (or many) social-democrat1c ideas, but from a right-side US standpoint, definitely not as a Social1st…
I remember reading about your friend in an email recently. This couldn’t be a direct cut and paste from an email could it? Don’t we have enough things to argue about in here?
“Obama’s supporters refute any suggestion that his agenda is to turn the US into a socialist state.”
That’d be rather difficult, since the U.S. is already socialist. (See, police departments, fire departments, entitlement programs, social security, and a standing army.)
“But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. “You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a communist.””
And that compares to the guy who the right has been calling a commienazisocialistkingemperorterrorist since the moment he became the DNC candidate how? Also, Castro didn’t become head of the country through purely democratic means, nor did he actually state any of his plans for the country, it was more, “Hey, how much worse can it get?”

can we swap leaders please
cheers, Britain
You want several trillion GBP in deficit spending?
Take him.
I don’t think the world leaders actually own all the debt, but that would be a good way of removing the deficits.
Pretty sure he meant Obama would continue deficit spending there he too.
Probably, but there’s no logical reason her would suddenly cause several trillion in deficit spending to appear when he took office.
No logical reason he did it here after he was elected, but will you look at that…. he did.
Actually, there was the whole ‘economic collapse’ and ‘the previous guy was the reason behind most of that deficit’.
While not defending Bush’s $3.1T budget, Obama has not halted the upward trend of deficit spending.
Likely because it’s not the largest concern on the table. Balancing the budget is something to do when we’re definitively out of sh*t creek.
Sure he has. Bush’s last deficit was $1.4T. Obama’s next one is $890B.
I look at it this way. Worst case scenario Gingrich becomes Prez next year and Obama releases a “Greatest Covers” album that goes platinum. At least we’ll have cool tunes while the ship of state goes ‘Titanic’ on us.
We may not be sinking yet, but don’t fool yourself, we’ve hit quite a field of icebergs already.
And broken through them, because the man who took over the the ship knew what he was doing after the previous captain jumped ship.
Mitt Romney is planning to solo with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, while Rick Santorum is planning a performance with the Vienna Boys Choir.
Barack Hussein Obama mm mm mmmm
He’s the Putin of the US media.
Rick Anal-Juices Santorum. He’s the closed queen of Republican presidential candidates.
You seem to have an unhealthy fixation with anal juices, Nailin. I recommend you go to see a specialist about this problem.
Is Dr. Santorum taking patients?

A friend of yours? Really?

Is that what you mean?

tl;dr: You keep using that word…

As Mark Twain said, “That’s the truth as I heard it.”
Your extrapolation, however, isn’t truthful.
Although, “That’s the truth as I read it in a spam email,” might be more appropriate.
“Obama’s supporters refute any suggestion that his agenda is to turn the US into a socialist state.”
That’d be rather difficult, since the U.S. is already socialist. (See, police departments, fire departments, entitlement programs, social security, and a standing army.)
“But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. “You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a communist.””

So you’re 66 according to my math. Wow, a 66 year old on the cheezburger network. That revelation hit me like a freight train.
And he hasn’t told you to get off his lawn.
Yet.
Great. Let’s send him packing back to “Sweet Home Chicago” with this entire family AND make them buy their own gas.
We could probably shave at least a trillion off the deficit if we grounded Air Force One and Marine One.
I don’t think you understand money.
Neither does the Obama administration.
Considering they prevented total economic collapse, they obviously do. Or would you rather have a repeat of Hoover?
I always enjoy your political input on here. Just thought I’d let you know ^_^
The political part of me wants to make some comment about this but the Chicago in me is just enjoying it.
