specialty8..............remind us what mess Clinton left for Bush to fix. Are you talking about Clinton's surpluss? Is that the mess of which you speak? If it is, I agree; Bush took no time at all to "fix" that mess. Of course, Bush didn't leave Obama with any mess at all, did he? Are you really as dense as you seem?

The President addresses the massive problems we face and looks to providing solutions... McGoo tries to start another war.

McCain brought on Palin and there-in lost the race. Who ever told McCain this witch of the north would make a good VP must have been smoking something weird.
Obama spent 3 years campaigning here in Illinois to be President. Meanwhile, Illinois was going down the tubes and because of Obama inability to communicate with the state we now have Roland Burris in the Senate. Another corrupt, greedy Illinois politican. Burris is already campaigning for election to the Senate when this term is up. This term he bought and paid for. Obama had to know Gov. Blagojevich was dirty and he did nothing. Now our state is broke, and where is Obama, why he is living rent free in the White House..and Illinois people are going to the poor house. 467 thousand people lost their jobs in June, the car plants in St. Louis closed Thursday, we dont make our own products and many American's don't care. Think about what we are suppose to celebrate today, The Birth of our Nation. Well, our nation is in the poor house and soon we will be known as just the North American States and each state will be going broke until another rich country buys them out one at a time. Want to be a real American, stop buying all the foreign goods.
McCain has nothing I care to hear and neither does Obama. They are both self-serving to themselves and their wallets.

Today we see Obama headed out with family on Marine One. I hope he isn't taking is illegal alien aunt, who I think still lives in government housing on any of these trips. This woman was deported but came back and then never left...no wonder our government is broke and so corrupt.No one talks about all the illegal aliens who have kids in our schools, they go to school free, they get public aid, public housing, they don't have any physical exams and many have TB and other contagious diseases. Who the heck is watching the store?
Meanwhile,
Today is the day that many LEGAL new Americans are becoming citizens. We applaud these new Americans. You became an American the right way. You took the oath to become a LEGAL CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN...WELCOME.

Ok, so you think they are so smart. Lets see, where are the results? None as of yet and things getting worse by the day. Lowes said they have seen no increase in the sell of shovels and factories are laying off more every day. This new "make more for Gore" is only going to make it worse, the stimulis that was slamed through congress was a joke. Nobody even read it, poorly planed, but Queen Pelosi and king Reid will get their new Dinky railrod. I think we were better off with the ones you stated before we got all these"bright" people.







HILARIOUS!!!!

Obama has 6 short months to, not only halt the economic implosion, but turn it 100% around and turn it into a booming economy?!?!?!

And you think that we would be better off with those that have PROVEN that they know NOTHING about the economy, energy, war, foreign policy, etc, etc, etc?!?!




Boy you need to turn off the Fox News -- it's doing some REAL damage!!

i'm a little confused by the headline. did you accidentally pull one from last year? there is no longer a campaign, and frankly, no reason for a comparison between the statements of the president and the guy who came in a distant second...(hint-that's what you do during a campaign)
