#1 Such an inspiring speach. It really is fitting that a majority of the American people don't believe a word of it.

#2 This isn't just about Barry.

Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.

1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA or $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and costis $1,600 or $3,200for husband and wife. Plain enough???

3. Every member of Congress will get an added $10,000 which is putting them very close to $ 200,000 per year. Sounds like an elite class to us.

4. Do you feel SCREWED? They vote themselves a raise and better benefits. They only care about WE THE PEOPLE on election day, right? You never did anything about it in the past. The time for action is near!!!!

5. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.

*** THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICAL PARTIES! IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE ENTIRE SITTING CONGRESS, Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.

The election in 2010 will be a sea-change to the mindset of any member of Congress who may survive.

MAKE SURE YOURE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND REMIND THE REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP LIKE THE GUYS THEY ARE REPLACING.

THIS IS A MUST DO!

#4 That's because there's a limit to how much Monopoly money there is by the rules.
In Washington, no limit, no rules.

No problemo Besoeker!

These guys have screwed up the economy. Despite the numbers these guys put out; I don't have any confidence in the market. My retirement took a huge hit. Retired elders lost trillions in retirement they had worked for all their lives. They have tried to destroy capitalism. The President has bowed to every tin-horned dictator he meets. He has not apologized to the American people once. The country has vast belts of empty factories and stores. Unemployment is probably much greater than reported because you cannot trust Washington politicos to tell anything close to the truth. It's not in them.

#7 I suppose that means that the president will therefore be vetoing the profligate, wasteful, and corrupt 'health reform' bills when they reach his desk.
