Should this be an historic inauguration, or a travesty? It's your vote!

This is a touchy topic. c49

Brent, why? Do you think Barack Obama is eligible to be the president of the United States of America? It is a simple yes or no. Some people think his Certificate of live birth is all they need to certify him. Others do not.

I don't tust the man for one minute. But I have to live with it for 4 yrs. then it will be PALIN. An I will vote for her.

Well.......... let's put it this way, The U.S. Supremes' won't listen to the case on whether obama is or isn't a certified U.S. Citizen. So we will find what will take place after he has taken the Oath of Office.
Some say he is the patsy for Biden to slide into office. Who knows..
....But I will say this for the most part. If it is found that he is not qualified as a U.S. Citizen after he is sworned in, sometime down the road, The U.S. Supreme Court will have lost all credibility in the eyes of the U.S. People.
All Federal Government Policy that was inacted by obama would be null and void, and as I stated, Biden would be at the helm. Whether Biden would leave in place that obama has started, or change to fit his needs, would be another issue that the people would have to deal with.

As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't Know how to choose who will have to go.
So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.
This is not me, a friend sent this to me. The bumper sticker on my car reads; I'll keep my guns, money and freedom. You can keep the "change."

grayghost,
That's the way I'll handle the next wave of layoffs also.

One tax provision would provide a $500 tax cut for most workers and $1,000 for couples, at a cost of about $140 billion to $150 billion over two years. The individual tax cuts may be awarded through withholding less from worker paychecks, effectively making checks about $10 to $20 larger each week.
Democrats emerging from a closed-door meeting of the Senate Finance Committee had little positive to say about the tax cut proposals. Real businessmen were critical of the proposed break for workers and their families.
"Twenty bucks a week. How much of a lift is that going to give?" he said.
Nor did he sound positive about a proposed tax break for businesses to create jobs — a $3,000 tax credit for companies that hire or retrain workers.
"If I'm a business person, it's unlikely if you give me a several thousand dollar credit that I'm going to hire people if I can't sell the products they're producing," businessman said.
s020 I know that $500-1000 a year would set me up for life! s020 Especially when my utilities, food, and basics went up $3000-$4000! s020 Just think what a fella could do if he could manage to put that large sum of $10-$20 a month in a savings account and not spend it? :grin: Heck that would mean free text messaging per month and maybe a couple lottery tickets too! YeeehhhhaaaaWWW!!

Something that most Westerners don't know is that once you are a Muslim you cannot leave the religion. They will give you one chance to return if not you are an apostate. Islam doesn't follow the same rules or laws we do. An apostate must return or be killed. That puts a target on Obama's back from more places than one.
Since Obama was born to a muslim (in Kenya) and was taught in a madrassas in Indonesia (adopted by another Muslim father) until he was about 9 years old he is considered a muslim in the eyes of Islam.

Gay Bishop Will Open Inaugural Weekend
Monday, January 12, 2009 11:00 AM
CONCORD, N.H. – The first openly gay Episcopal bishop will offer a prayer at the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural event for President-elect Barack Obama.
The selection of New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson for Sunday's event follows weeks of criticism from gay-rights groups over Obama's decision to have the Rev. Rick Warren give the invocation at his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Warren backed the ban on same-sex marriage that passed in his home state of California on the November ballot.
Robinson said last month the choice of Warren was like a slap in the face. In an interview with the Concord Monitor, he said he doesn't believe Obama invited him in response to the Warren criticism but said his inclusion won't go unnoticed by the gay and lesbian community.
"It's important for any minority to see themselves represented in some way," Robinson told the newspaper for a story in Monday's editions. "Whether it be a racial minority, an ethnic minority, or in our case, a sexual minority. Just seeing someone like you up front matters."
Clark Stevens, a spokesman for the inaugural committee, said Robinson was invited because he had offered his advice to Obama during the campaign and because of his church work. When asked whether Robinson was included to calm the Warren complaints, he said Robinson is "an important figure in the religious community. We are excited that he will be involved."
Robinson, 61, said both Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden will attend the event, and Obama is expected to speak. As for himself, Robinson said he doesn't yet know what he'll say, but he knows he won't use a Bible.
"While that is a holy and sacred text to me, it is not for many Americans," Robinson said. "I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer. This is a prayer for the whole nation."
Robinson said his prayer will be reflective of the times.
"I think these are sober and difficult times that we are facing," he said. "It won't be a happy, clappy prayer."
Robinson's 2003 consecration has divided the church in the United States and abroad. Last month, theological conservatives upset by liberal views of U.S. Episcopalians and Canadian Anglicans formed a rival North American province.

As I expected from this forum, bird people look at things in a reality sort of way. There is NO gray area when it comes to our hobby/ living. We are the caretakers of our flocks. If we do not take care of them, they die.
Tomorrow when I go out to feed and water my flock it will be -4` Fahrenheit. When I go out that afternoon it will be -1. I'd be willing to bet the President elect would stay in, where it's warm.
Thanks for voting.

Yeah and he has to give up his trusty Dingleberry to boot. That's just horrible! That's inhumane and down right torture. s49 s49 s47 s2 Poor baby. Funny how he (president of USA) is told what to do with his Dingleberry! I thought he was the one in charge?

Pitiful that a freakin' cell phone makes headline news in this country. s47 Who cares for cryin' out loud? And to think that he was actually elected by "free" people!?

He's trying to get around that, too. After all, he's special. In the educational sense, no doubt.

West Va.’s Dingle-Berry Hangs Together
By Jamie Mottram | September 15, 2007
We already shared pictures from Thursday night’s game, but this one’s a doozy. Via email from West Virginia’s finest, The Mighty Mighty MJD, it’s two Mountaineers defensive ends hanging on the sideline, catching a blow.
(http://misterirrelevant.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/dingleberries-are-fun.jpg)
For the record, that’s senior Johnny Dingle and freshman Scooter Berry. Separately, they’re rather innocuous components of one of America’s top-five teams. Together, they form the world’s largest dingleberry, weighing in at a whopping 535 pounds.

Thanks, that's exactly the picture I had in my mind.
Reminds me of the similarity between Charmin and the Starship Enterprise.
-
Did I hear someone say her name was "Charmin"? :cool: Other than those things on her forehead, I think we'd get along fine. :evil:
-
Those things on her forehead would not bother me...it those other 2 things that would get my attention... 0009

Yes, Reeves, they are both after Klingons.
And "break down", just when you really need to get the **** out of there.

If you think obama's stimulus plan is a joke, along with the failing Social Security system, Check this out.
Despite its size, the economic stimulus bill is not expected to face heavy opposition among Democrats, and Obama has won praise from Republicans for showing a willingness to show deference to their concerns. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., floated a new proposal, raising the possibility of a two-year elimination of Social Security payroll taxes.
Talk about no brains in this s53 hole.

i got a new idea for a stimulus for our economy its called closed private nofrills inauguration look how much it could put into our economy...quote from newsmax: Despite the recession, Barack Obama’s inauguration will be the most expensive ever and could approach $160 million — nearly four times what George Bush’s inauguration cost four years ago.
Slightly more than $42 million was spent on Bush’s inauguration in 2005, and Bill Clinton’s first inauguration in 1993 cost $33 million.
The federal government has already budgeted more than those figures, $49 million, for the inauguration. But the District of Columbia has projected its tab at $47 million, Virginia estimates it will spend $16 million and Maryland is looking at a $12 million tab.
Obama has raised $45 million for the inauguration festivities.
Adding in the costs of privately funded balls during inauguration week brings the total to nearly $160 million, according to the New York Daily News.
In an extraordinary step, President Bush has declared a state of emergency in the District, which will allow the government to provide additional funds through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to The New York Times.
Bush spokesman Scott Stanzel said never before has an advance declaration of an emergency been used for a “non-disaster.”
An estimated 1.5 to 2 million people will be in Washington for the inauguration.
The bulk of the inauguration outlays will go for security. Transportation costs will add millions, as will the decision to open up the entire length of the National Mall and provide video and audio access to the swearing-in ceremony on JumboTrons.
If there is snow on inauguration day, the costs will be higher.

Well all I can say is we been spending money like we want to go bankrupt. Everything
happens for a reason!! They have been shoving credit cards in caskets to children an
people with little to no income. Why?? Thought government was suppose to protect
it citizens from all enemies foreign and domestic.! 30% interest rate not because you
made a late payment, you used more then one credit source so your a higher risk so
bang. If you think thats fair you have a point, but why was this aloud ?? Then ask how many immigrants can get credit, if your answear is very few would that mean they are in good shape debt wise. If uncle Sam didn't let these interest rate scams
along with handing out to much credit for people with low income would this bailout
money be needed now. HOW MUCH OF YOUR MONEY WOULD YOU LOAN OUT TO SOMEONE THAT COULDN'T pay you back?? Unless some one said lend it out and we will give you tons more and you can buy other failing companies with the money. You will monopolies even more then before. So it started long before Barack Obama

Bailing out the car companies? Have any of you every been screwed by a car dealer on a new car.No car dealers always treat you wright . Now that they have our money .They will treat you even better.How many of you have been took to the cleaners
-
Do you want to know about national security?? How about getting back are patents
on fuel efficiencies or battery technologies in the name of national security. So I don't need so much oil !!! Electric cars only need turbines where fog lights go and I won't need to plug in. I will use the money I save to fund my retirement so I won't need Government handout S.S. . That way government won't need so much war money.
If we don't need to protect are interest in oil maybe we can TEACH people peace and not war and if they hate US because WE teach people peace, thats a war our Creator
will fight and Win

kolby....you knew that more resources are used to make and maintain an electric vehicle than the standard vehicle ?
That the waste from them produce more toxic waste than standard vehicles ?
The power grid will not handle many electric vehicles. Yet at the same time the power generation plants will burn a great deal more fossil fuels to generate your power....resulting in a net loss.
War is a fact of life. It has been an on going fact for several million years. Peace will not be seen in anyones life time that are currantly on this planet.
Odds are, with the population of this rock at present, and worse, the future, it will escalate .
Not to mention....if it wasn't for our troups fighting now in another place, YOU would be fighting for your self HERE.
-
yeah sorry kolby i have to agree with reeves here . its hard to figure out how to fix things ...and war is eminent . I'm a Christian and its kinda like when Jesus told his disciples 1 of them would betray him to the enemy and all of them went on the defensive saying they'd not let it happen...somethings are inevitable all we can do is pray and support those who are trying to keep the terrorists at bay ...and pray like mad they don't find our weaknesses out...
-
Hey Reeves, Thank you. You, my friend have been alot more gentle with kolby than I ever would. It is obvious the he(?) was raised by, or taught by bleeding heart liberal surealists. Oh, and Reeves, what the heck are we going to do with all those spent batteries?
Kolby, if you do not like war, then help me stem the flow of illegal aliens invading MY country. Ghost.

So it started long before Barack Obama
You forgot the "Hussien". :-|
I don't think anyone disagrees with that. But it did start with the crowd that he's putting back in charge again! Maybe he's just a swell dude and is going to give them a chance to correct their mistakes from when they where running the "American Idol" show back in the 90's? So much for change! s020 What a joke! This topic should be moved to "Joke of the Day" on January 20th. Only change there's going to be, is what's left in your pocket.

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Minnesota.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and$100 profit for me."
The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."
"Done!" replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work.

Obama is living in a fantasy land, cut off from reality. In way over his head.
totally inept without his teleprompter,
He has delusions of adequacy,
-
He has delusions of adequacy,
That is my favorite phrase. (Often about myself). Never heard anyone else use it.
He may be in a safe position, anyway. With the Left Coast, and NYC media backing him, he can always claim it was all Bush's fault. They constantly puke the lie that we are in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. They conveniently forget Coward Carter, and his double digit inflation, unemployment and interest rates. Or the recession of the late fifties.
Of course, being champions of Statest Politicians, and totalitarian Government, they also sidestep the method their former God JFK, and their previous Devil, Ronald Reagan got us out of it.
Hint: it wasn't by taxing the evil "Rich".

Yea, that teleprompter is becoming almost as funny as that tax cheat of a Treasury Secretary he's got!
