Life isn''''t fair, you are born into a class and there you stay, but it doesn''''t stop me from getting furious when I face a 5% wage cut at only 18,000 a year salary, while Congress gives themselves a $5,000 a year raise? Congress belittles the big 3 to give up jets and cut back, while they all ride around in big jets with executive privileges. The American citizen must cut back while we live high on the hog. If I were president, and I would be with the money and media behind me, The first thing I would do is cut the pork from the top down, but I would really represent the people not just say I do.

Clancy, if you truly planned to do what you say above, you likely wouldn''t be ranked the #1 most Libturd member of the whole US Senate.

NObama was.

That only works if the people allow it to work. If you or anyone else is basing a vote solely on what the media tells you, you are to blame.

BabyPonyHater tells it straight up, at least from the perspective of all these NObama worshipping neo-Marxist.

The only way to receive their vote is to promise to pay them the most.

Whether you ever make the payment doesn''t seem tomatter, it''s merely the promise of "Pay to Play" these DumboCrapheads seek. Look at what TeeeeeeeeeeeeeenieWeeeeeeeeeeeeeenie Clinton promised, then actually delivered.

No the media doesn''t elect the President, but the media is supposed to be impartial in their reports on all the candidates for President so that the American voters can then make a free and impartial decision on who to vote for. The media was not impartial in their reporting. The media was overwhelmingly FOR Obama and their reported glowingly positive reports on Obama and glossed over the negative things about Obama and Obama had many negative things in his background, including his ties to radicals. While they were doing this, the media negatively reported on Clinton, then Mc Cain and Palin. Palin was smeared without mercy I suppose because they feared her. Thus the media coverage of the election was skewed toward Obama. Under these conditions, I don''t think the American voters had right info to make a sound decision in electing our next President. So instead of vetting this President before we voted we now will have to vett him while he is in office.

NObama''s first task will be to get Uncle Sam''s pants down around his ankles, get him broke over like a breech loading bird gun, and prepare him to receive exactly what NObama has in mind for the US.

chitownfire1: If you could read you would know the media does elect our president. The media gets behind
someone and does every thing it can to get him/her good press and give who every is running against him/her bad press. You are wrong, again chitownfire1.
The media does elect our president.

Here''s a thought, how about taking back the $5000 raise the House just gave themselves?? Would work for me.
I am sick and tired of these rich politicans preaching to us on how to cut back in these "hard times."
While he''s at it, how about taking back queen nance''s big A jet that costs the taxpayers over $5million a year to cart her friends and family around. When took over as Speaker this sweetie pitched a fit and DEMANDED a bigger jet. Well, queenie, times are tough so how about going back to the smaller jet.
Double standards all around.
