And we need to look at Greece as a model for our economy.

Obama will remove himself from office. Hoist on his own petard. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

So let me guess..... we're not doing too well????

:D

Listen to Barry this election cycle. He'll be telling us that we are to blame for doubting all his achievements. It's our fault for not recognizing how great he really is. We should be punished.
Everyone must carry a personalized picture of Nancy Pelosi.:cool:

For the Record

http://image.patriotpost.us/2012-02-27-brief.jpg
"With the average price of a gallon of gasoline rising 40 cents just last week, President Obama attacked Republicans [Thursday], trying to distract voters from his own failed energy policy. 'The American people aren't stupid,' Obama said. 'You know there are no quick fixes to this problem.' ... Obama has been in office for three years now. There is plenty the federal government can do to lower gas prices in three years. Problem is, everything Obama has done on energy has been designed to increase Americans' pain at the pump. ... Yes, oil and gas production is up in the United States. But this is happening in spite of Obama, not because of him. It is being driven entirely by increased production on state and private lands, areas where Obama has little power to shut down production. The reality is that Obama's goal has always been higher gas prices. His Energy Secretary Steven Chu famously told The Wall Street Journal in 2008, 'Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.' And when Obama was asked by CNBC's John Harwood that same year if high gas prices actually 'helped' the United States, Obama said, 'I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment.' Americans aren't stupid. They remember Obama's words. They know that the only real regret Obama has about high gas prices is that he may get blamed for them at the ballot box." --Washington Examiner's Conn Carroll (http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/morning-examiner-obamas-campaign-higher-gas/393266)

Ted Nugent Goes Off: Obama Is an ‘Anti-American Monster,’ Suggests GOP Candidates Lack Testosterone

http://cowboybyte.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/nugent.jpg

For those unfamiliar, Ted Nugent doesn’t shy away from sharing his opinions on a myriad controversial political topics — from gun-rights to homosexuality, from religion to the military.

The veteran rocker recently said at a Republican event that, ”The whole world sucks, but America still sucks less.” He followed up the assertion by clarifying, “But with this administration, we are catching up.”

The Detroit native caught up with Mike Broomhead’s team at 550KFYI for yet another bombshell of an interview. We warn, the following clip contains graphic language. Still, many will find Nugent’s trademark no holds barred attitude on politics a refreshing change of pace.

See the Flash video of his rant here:

Mark Levin’s EPIC Apology to The Troops for Prez Obama

Levin is livid over the way things are being handled in Afghanistan and has had enough. He says that we should carpet-bomb the hell out of the Taliban and that we should have never apologized in the first place for burning Korans that had already been destroyed by the enemy.

But the epic part of this clip comes when Levin apologizes to the men and women serving in the military, and their families, for “this jerk who’s the Command-in-Chief, for this jerk who’s the Secretary of State, for this Jerk who’s the Secretary of Defense, for the whole damn bunch of them!”

JFootin:
Thanks for that link to Leven. I completely agree with his assessment. We bend over for the Taliban but we kick our military at every opportunity.... disgusting.
When will our government learn that every time you denigrate our troops and then ask them to put their lives on the line for YOUR political ideals, you create another generation of bitter warriors..... and old warriors never forget.:cool:

[muggsy]

I think that Ted should tell us what he really thinks. :)

[jlottmc]

I'll call for this once again. Uncle Ted for president. 'Nuff said.

LOL! Yeah. Not enough head bangers to make that ever happen.

[jlottmc]

We are more powerful than you know. Besides Uncle Ted isn't a head banger, he's really not even metal, but for sure one of the godfathers of metal.
