I Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself

"[W]ho are regular, run-of-the-mill, tax-paying Americans to question Obama? He's brilliant, after all. ... [I]f Obama is so brilliant, why does he parrot the words and thoughts of a bunch of schmucks like Karl Marx, Saul Alinsky, Al Gore and Michael Moore? Why does he insist that the trouble with the Constitution and the Civil Rights movement is that they didn't focus on the redistribution of wealth? Why would he hand over the federal budget to a couple of morons like Pelosi and Reid? And why on earth would he put Henry Waxman in charge of his energy program? A brilliant person wouldn't trust Waxman to bring baked beans to a picnic. When someone decides to model a health care plan after such dismal failures as England, Canada and Cuba, while exhuming the failed economic policies of FDR, why would anyone suggest he is anything but a left-wing ignoramus? This is an American president, for heaven's sake, who has more in common with Noam Chomsky, Hugo Chavez and some Berkeley hippie than he has with Washington, Jefferson and Adams. Except that he is now 30 years older, Obama seems to think exactly the same way he was thinking back in college, when he was a pot-smoking idiot who sought out students who were self-professed revolutionaries and professors who were communists. If we have come to a point where the ability to read scripted lines off a teleprompter is considered a sign of brilliance, no matter how fatuous the actual words may be, we are in even worse shape than I imagined." --columnist Burt Prelutsky

In today's politically correct world we live in.....if this wasn't clearly the truth.....it wouldn't ever get in print. We are in serious trouble and the people in charge don't seem to care what the American people are saying. This frightens the heck outta me!

Also if you look at the cities with the highest poverty rates, highest unemployment, highest taxes, etc. they are all DEMOCRAT controlled, UNION controlled--for decades. The examples of the results of Leftist control exist in Detroit, Chicago--why do we ignore what is smacking us in the face/ THIS CRAP DOESN"T HELP ANYONE but the politicians,their cronies and campaign donators and the UNION BOSS. WTF up!!!! Now Kratovil is making noise that he will cave to Pelosi, Call him, e-mail him let him know that we don't want the Government to control us! Oh yeah, did ya see that GM recalled millions of cars today?

Is the writer trying to set the record for most questions asked in a paragraph?

Everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten what a schmuck the last President was, and all the Constitutional civil liberties his administration curtailed! Short memory, anyone? It's only been a YEAR since Bush was gone!!

920....Your president is in a whole, new corrupt league than any previous President this country has ever had. Bush was not my perfect President, but at least he was a legal President.

Dogg,

Please explain yourself. By your last sentence I see your still on the birth certificate thing. Keep holding onto that nonsense. And please explain, did he send us to an unjustified war or illegally torture? For all of you complaining about spending, do you know what the war has cost us, besides American lives?

Where were all the people who are complaining today when Bush was spending all the money for an INVASION of Iraq and sending troops to Afghanistan with NO plan?
Where were you complaining about government spending THEN? You weren't, because it was a Republican President doing it and in the meantime, he was also giving you the big tax breaks, also which we're going to be paying for many years down the road!
You can't have it both ways!
As far as corrupt, I believe they are ALL corrupt!
