When a country through greed and graft gets itself 11 trillion dollars in debt its dollar value isn''t worth the paper it''s printed on.

(HONOLULU)(November 1, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin has ignited a firestorm in Hawai''i over Barack Obama''s bogus "original" birth certificate. Martin won a stunning victory Friday afternoon (October 31st) when the State of Hawai''i backed his assertion that there was an original, "typewritten, 1961" birth certificate, called a "Certificate of Live Birth" or "COLB" in Hawai''i, that no one has previously seen. Hawai''i officials retrieved and examined the document after Martin filed a lawsuit seeking access to the historic 1961 original.

Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the "original" on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen this document and posted it on the Internet; that is not true. CNN has falsely ridiculed Martin.

Hawai''i officials have now refuted Obama''s false assertion.

Martin''s victory in Honolulu will roil the final weekend of the presidential campaign. Internet chatter is expected to explode as the issue moves to the front page over Saturday and Sunday. Swing voters may be swayed by the exposure that Obama has brazenly been lying to the American people. "We just lobbed a grenade into the final weekend of the presidential campaign," says Andy.

"I am ecstatic. I called Obama a liar. I called Factcheck.org ''ObamaLies.org.'' I said CNN was sloppy and lazy and wrong. And I was right. The State of Hawai''i has now backed me up.

The President can NOT spend a dime with the prior approval of the Congress.

The Democratic Congress of the last two years will have increased the debt by $2T. The prior GOP Congress increased the debt by $4.5T in 6 years.

Call it like it is.

Obama is a extemely talented and pure hearted man. The fact that he is not deeply rooted in Washington is a blessing--as he is not corrupted. He has the wisdom to know what he does not know and where to go for help. He showed excellent judgement in picking Joe Biden as his running mate--instead of going for the more popular Clinton. That was a wise thing--because it would be hard to not be overly influenced by the Clintons after they were elected. Obama has the ability and heart to lead us to prosperity and peace. And after he wins, let''s not stand back and let him be continually harrassed while in office --like Clinton was. We have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Take charge. Vote Obama.

You know I sat back and watched as the Republican dirty tricksters harrassed Bill Clinton---a man who served us well--and then finally got him--because he had an affair---like many other presidents had. Oh yeh, and then he lied about it---like about half the men in American have---whoa. Then I sat back and watched as the dirty corrupt Republican machine stole the election for George Bush--but I am standing up now and saying, "I am sick and tired of all the corruption and the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer." I am also sick and tired of all the obfuscating issues brought up to keep us from seeing the truth---like homosexual rights and abortion and guns etc. Just hot button issues to keep us from seeing the truth. Folks---THEY ARE KILLING US---and killing truth and democracy and our environment and prosperity and peace and everthing good-----just so they can exploit us and make money for a few rich. Please vote Obama.

The Republicans have been pushing the lie of lower taxes, smaller govt. and lower spending at least as far back as Reagan.

Meanwhile each Republican president has presided over the largest spending increases ever.

Under Bush we racked up $5 trillion of debt in 8 years.

HOW IN WORLD CAN THEY GO ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND SAY THEY ARE THE PARTY OF CONSERVATIVE SPENDING AND BALANCED BUDGETS----- ISNT THAT THE BIGGEST JOKE!

What good is it to lower taxes when you just turn around and borrow money to pay for massive spending?

At this pace we might as well as setup a computer in the white house to send out all the tax revenue that we need to pay in interest payments because there wont be any money for anything else.

For 30 years, Republican Presidents, working with Republican Congresses, have cut taxes but refused to cut spending, (which is politically unpopular) . The resultant $11 trillion debt now threatens to enslave an entire generation of Americans. The taxes that were ''cut'' weren''t actually cut, they were ROLLED onto the backs of the unborn. Today, just the $300 billion cost of paying the INTEREST on this debt, absorbs all taxes paid by everyone West of the Mississippi River. It pays for no roads, no law n order, no sewers, no armed forces. It pays rich people and foreigners for holding off our foreclosure for one more year, giving us a year to come up with NEXT years $300 billion. But, thanks to Bush doubling an already gigantic debt, the global ''smart money'' already knows America is an irresponsible borrower and have devalued the dollar in response, meaning ordinary Americans must now pay more for EVERYTHING they buy: gasoline, clothing, groceries, etc. Adding insult to injury, Republicans have worked to loosen government oversight of our lending industry, so that NOW the ordinary taxpayer must bail out multiple banks, and take some of them OVER because of their ''irrational exhuberance'' following deregulation: potentially a trillion dollar bailout.

Now, do voters REALLY want to reward Republicans for DOING this to America? What kind of signal does that SEND??? To me, it sends a signal that ''THE BEATINGS SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!!''

[jerr11]

The Republicans don''t believe in taxes but THEY SURE BELIEVE IN SPENDING!!

Bush''s great legacy - $10 TRILLION DEBT in four years!

Where''s the money coming from?

DEBT!! Like credit card debt!

And our kids and grandkids will have to pay for it!!

Thanks, Bush! Heckuva job!!

Per Wall Street Journal, Oct 27, 2008:

"President Clinton signed into law welfare reform, so people actually have to look for a job before being eligible for welfare. He ended the "retirement test" for Social Security benefits (a huge tax cut for elderly workers), signed the largest capital gains tax cut ever (which exempted owner-occupied homes from capital gains taxes), and finally reduced government spending as a share of GDP by an amazing three percentage points (more than the next four best presidents combined)."


So, idiot msa123: The financially responsible party HAS BEEN THE DEMOCRATS for the last TWENTY YEARS.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Paulson...all financial reprobates that have sold out this country, and the lives of our children, our grandchildren, AND our elderly....for greed. They lie, it''s what they do.

Republicans lie, you pay.

Per Wall Street Journal:
"President Clinton signed into law welfare reform, so people actually have to look for a job before being eligible for welfare. He ended the "retirement test" for Social Security benefits (a huge tax cut for elderly workers), pushed the North American Free Trade Agreement through Congress against his union supporters and many of his own party members, signed the largest capital gains tax cut ever (which exempted owner-occupied homes from capital gains taxes), and finally reduced government spending as a share of GDP by an amazing three percentage points (more than the next four best presidents combined)."
