Dale, San Fran? beautiful city, you ever been
a visitant? they would love you there!
I prefer Eugene or Portland, closer to my cave.
 
Why yes Jay , I have many times.. But we don't go there much anymore. My wife and kids don't feel safe now that all of the scenic areas are covered with crack-smoking wastoids. ( thanks to the "free-thinking'' local govt.)
We now prefer Hawaii and the Bahama chain for vacationing.
 
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Care to show us when and where Bush made this statement?

Here is the original from the March 13 press conference. Some people do not mind altering 'details' to make a better sound bite:

"Q: But don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?
W: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."
 
Just got this in an e-mail today and had a good "chuckle."


There were 1.5 million attending his inauguration, only 14 missed work.


Cheers :)
 
Harry,
Be careful, remember what happened to Ron?

Perhaps it was altered, but not by me - the version I reproduced is all over the web, for example:

http://blog.nj.com/njv_fran_wood/2008/01/bush_prefers_chasing_after_sol.html


and still more variations are out there, including one from Fox:
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/14/barnes-osama/

Whatever version you use, the sentiment is not meaningfully different between the speakers. Dale's original complaint was:
Mr Obama now sayes that he has NO REAL INTEREST in capturing or killing Osama bin Laden, Just as long as he ''Financially no longer has the ability to pull off such attacks any more"...... PATHETIC.

I found this in a Bush transcript, and it sounds pretty much like the same attitude.

"His network, his host government has been destroyed. He's the ultimate parasite who found weakness, exploited it, and met his match. He is -- as I mentioned in my speech, I do mention the fact that this is a fellow who is willing to commit youngsters to their death and he, himself, tries to hide -- if, in fact, he's hiding at all.

So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you...

Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban.

But once we set out the policy and started executing the plan, he became -- we shoved him out more and more on the margins. He has no place to train his al Qaeda killers anymore."
 
Was not trying to say you changed it. Miss quoting is rampant on both sides of any issue and probably worse in politics. I no longer forward quotes without trying to check them as 80% are made up or changed. Which is really a shame, as our politicians say enough stupid stuff we don't need to miss quote them :)
 
OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT
.....OUR COUNTRY IS FACING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
...ITS TIME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS facing us all and support OUR President.
......SO GET OVER IT!!!

WITH TODD's RECENT POST ABOUT POLITICAL TALK...I SAY IT'S TIME TO CAN IT.

I'm here for the Sport I love....what about YOU?
 
hi,
Just some facts on the stock market. 1/22/08 Obama takes office as president and the stock market went down to 7,949. Now one month later the market is at 7,365, that is a drop of 584 points in one month so at this rate of decline by June it could be around 4,900. It seems like everytime he opens his mouth on TV the Market goes down or is this just my imagination. How far do we go with this?
 
Instead of projecting forward, we could project backward and figure out who was President when the current meltdown started and how the market reacted whenever HE opened his mouth, and then decide if presidents should bear the brunt of the blame..

Correlation does not equal causation
 
Clinton, ...And his "Everyone deserves a house" Idea. Which led to pressure being put on loaning institutions to give loans ( some with bad terms) to people who had no realistic means of ever being able to pay these loans off. In some cases, welfare was being considered a source of income.

If you notice , Bill has become highly visible these days. He's usually complaining what Obama should be doing, and what he could have done better. He is, and always has been, A wart on the ass of the U.S.
 
He WAS elected an I will back him even though I COMPLETELY disagree with his attempt to stimulate the economy! You just CAN'T spend your way out of recession. You can't do it at home and the Government can't do it. It's been tried before. If congress and OUR president keep trying, maybe they will get it right. Just to be on the safe side, DON'T GIVE UP YOUR GUNS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. DON'T REGISTER, DON'T BUY NEW ONES IF THE GOVERNMENT KEEPS THE RECORDS OF SALE AND HIDE THEM IF NECESSARY UNTIL THEY ARE NEEDED!
 
Uhh Oh! This all sounds pretty political stuff to me guys.

Better get that old copy of Nostradamus out and see what advice, if any, he has on what the future holds.
 
hey,
Don't need Nostradamus, just read Daniel and the book of revelation, it's all in there.
 
Michaëlle Jean welcomed President Obama to Canada last week. She is the Governor General of Canada and escorts him to his meeting with our Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

It was a good meeting as Harper & Obama discussed mutual strageties on the economy and border security. CNN was too busy covering the bush-shoe-thrower trial to cover this.

Well, I still am going to miss Bush..."Great Moments in Presidential History" and all the fodder for the comediens. It certainly was a fun 8 years, wasn't it? Obama's ears are going to be funny in the cartoons.

BTW: One of the most successful programs that did exactly what Obama is trying to do was the Roosevelt WPA. THat is the program Obama is trying to model his bailout on partly - creating jobs for government projects. What is all this about welfare? I don't recognize any welfare stuff yet from this admin.
 
The Roosevelt Make work projects did not work, review your history. WWII got us out of the depression.
You cannot borrow and spend your way out of debt.

Its the "plantation" mentality, keep people dependent on you, and you will keep the votes.
You do as the master says, and the master will take care of you and make sure your needs are met.

Go back and read about Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank, and the dems who got us into this mess with the TARP program, with fanny Mae and Freddy Mac.
 
Come on guys, give Obama some credit. Every time he nominates someone for his cabinet he collects delinquent back taxes. If he keeps that up he'll have the budget balanced in no time.
