#1 Air pollution, revolution, gun control,
Sound of soul
Shootin' rockets to the moon
Kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will
Solve everything
And the band played on...
-- The Temptations

#2 "It's not in his nature to grow anything other than shorter."

He's been growing shorter for so long, he's into negative territory. >:-(

#3 Obama basically lays out that trickle-down does not work. However, his whole economic plan has been in essence trickle-down but operated by government instead of private sector. What was his arguement for bailing the auto industry? All the tire makers and bread bakers which support that industry also benefit. New roads and bridges - quick shops, restaraunts, hotels, plus easier travel for workers to go spend money at businesses. Every single pork list wish list ingredient put into the stankulous is a government trickle-down project.

Does anybody here think that the problem that led to our financial crisis was too much oversight of mortgage lenders or debt collectors?

Audience: No!

(raises hand)
Yes, perhaps by forcing larger banks to purchase toxic loans and fine-tooth combing small and medium banks. That does however lead to the small and medium banks, that is the ones who did not close on account of the new finance regulations, to be of more sound business structure, right before being bought out by the failed big banks getting a shitpot full of gov bucks and instead of fixing the problem, bought out their competition.

And this Teddy thing, what bowl of pudding thought that one up? Look, my history teacher called the intervention in Panama, Operation Just 'Cuz. She -railed- against Teddy for his Imperialistic Expansionism, gave credit to the Park system then railed about how the government had abused it, called him a mercenaric warmonger. Gave no credit for the bull-moose run, thought it looked weak to offer the golden cow so braisenly. Any liberals peeking through the spider webs you know exactly what I am talking about, how does that feel, hopey changy peacemaker voluntarily comparing himself to a shameless vote panhandler who coined gunboat diplomacy? you neo-hippies I know you don't know so wiki-up. Salt and hot sauce makes the rotten egg taste better, highly suggest it, and why you are in the fridge see if Obama has anything fresh in there. I mean, the damned fool should have gone to Lawrence, went out to Clinton Lake where dum dum Bill Clinton held a rally, and been carried about by the tons of liberal arts students who had already planned on taking the day off anyways...or would the cameras notice that the only buildings with Obama swag on them are the ones which have shuttered, that cracked me up.
