It's all gonna go tits up in the next 12 months. Papering over the cracks dear readers, papering over the cracks! Spread your money around, if you have any. Invest in treasury bonds.....treasury bonds and property. There are stories here in dear old Blighty that someone in the south west of England actually has some money.....and old 10 shilling note that they swore they'd keep for a rainy day.....well, it's p***ing down, so show us your cash! Still invading Iran ( : ) will keep usall occupied whilst those faceless types in the New World Order make off with what's left of the loot.

Republican ideals are not the problem. I share many of them. However, many Republican politicians have brought irrefutable shame to the Party.

its a game by both parties to get both side alienated. On the left it submitting a bill you know won't pass than blaming the Rep cause it didn't pass. Than on the Repucks side its bring up gays and abortion which just make the Righties crazy as it does the lefties for bring it up again and again. In the mean time bill being passed to make it a felon for any "talking" about buying pot in another country. so if you in London partying at Paul wedding and someone goes let go by Paul some pot....Felony. there busting all the marijuana distrubutors for medical marijuana and it a class 1 felony for smoking pot.. WTF does the Feds have to do with Pot smoking in my state. I think this is a way for them to bust these protesters and strip them of there rights to vote.. Also Obama trying to get us into a war with Iran.. We are fighting how may wars now and he was going to end the Iraq war but now got us into all these others. Are national security is being jeopardize by the cost of war let alone the amount of human suffering.

this might shock a few of you but I think we need to look at Ron Paul a little closer. The media is blocking him from being heard. He wins a straw poll and they have all the candidates on the screen but him.. All the networks are giving all these other fools attention but not Paul.. Why because if a libertarian got in someone with some frigging common sense. The gig would be up and both the Dem's and the Repuke's would lose the power they have cultivated in DC. Right now with Obama's lack of back bone. I would support Ron Paul if he got the Rupuke's ticket. He was asked about these new pot laws and he doesn't understand why it not legal. He said government job is not to regulate what a person does to there bodies. he thinks the wars cost are more a danger than the terrorist would ever be and he thinks what we need to do is start listening to our enemies and see what they want and try and understand them vs military intervention which did and is doing nothing. I think the Rep would rather have Obama in office than have Ron Paul. Thats just how much both sides fear him taking their control away.

If your kids are grown or you haven't started a family yet. Than being poor actually isn't so bad. Life a lot freer when you don't have to worry about things. My best times were traveling in Africa and sleeping under the stars. One thing I always remember about the Africans they always had smiles on their faces. ( I don't think they knew they were poor)

that's it. I didn't believe George Soros when he wrote that the debt-deadline-ceiling discussion was a fake, only theatre (and I use to believe Soros) and it would be signed "last minute as the only apparent option". It's all a fake. At least Europe and the USA (I thought there were real debate in the USA...). In case someone hasn't noticed today is happening the first global/world/planetary protest/demonstration ever. As far as mankind history goes. It started where the day starts (Australia, Japan), it'll end on Alaska... I guess. 980 cities over the world. This one for the old times... Canada is actually planning it... for a visit he'll do soon there. Bush (for instance) to Jail!. Guantanamo will do, playing Like A Rollin Stone over and over... "Hoooooow does it feeeeel how does it feel?" Well, no, I'm not that bad... but many will be bad enough to make all "those guys" go trough something similar.

Today marks the President's 1000th day in office. What has he done right and wrong ? Discuss.
-
Like him better than Bush love doris
-
That's fine Doris. However, instead of a comparison, how about an independent appraisal of the current President ?
-
How about yours? I have a question...what has been done to lower our gas prices? Any news in the natural gas front?

I think he likes Paul McCartney and his music He gives good speeches when reading off the teleprompter. He really knows how to raise money campaigning. There aren't too many more good things that I can say at this time. I think he should be rewarded ..... we could give him a vacation until the end of his term .... that would be nice

I don't think Bush was a great pres. But there is major factor lacking in Obama that Bush had: leadership. America needs a leader and Obama hasn't been one.

I disagree. I feel that Obama has many admirable qualities that are well suited to the office, but in today's vitriolic political climate being conscientious, open-minded and professorial is perceived as being a weak leader. You seem to correlate leadership with being an uncompromising, my-way-or-the-highway dick. Unfortunately, so do a lot of people which is why Obama needs to show some fire. To me, the overwhelming majority of politicians (on both sides) would rather see the other side fail at the expense of the country rather than reach across the aisle to rally around the opposing party's president. Obama needs to embrace some of the scumbag politics that the GOP are so good at using and give them a taste of their own medicine.

I like the president Its hard to say I just know he is doing better than the last one. In the scheme of things if you make under a certain amount and depend on government assistance. You have to call the government offices everytime the media runs a scare. I emailed his office or an office or two and they managed to ease my mind. The last administration had people afraid to admit which party they voted for. love doris

As now I'm into learning how to avoid answering questions... I prefer not to say it.
