We are on the slippery slope to the socialism that we all were warned about but Obama and the pundits denied....

I can't believe the government is taking over private business. Isn't the Constitution going to be used here? Now the tobacco companies are going to be taken over...and they took no federal stimulas money. What's next?? I'll bet Walmart. Give Me Liberty...or Give Me Death!! I see that coming very shortly!!

For someone who, himself, belongs in prison for tax fraud, that's quite a statement.

Great, I guess he is going to ask Jeffrey Immelt to step down from his position at GE. Obama is not going to be happy but Immelt has to go.

The whole government needs a total enema from top to bottom, democrat and republican. Where is the outrage from the RNC and the republican party? They are all in this together and this is why we are where are right now. Besides supporting the war, the military, and being anti-abortion, how many others issues did John Mccain differ from Obama? McCain believes in amnesty for illegals, globull warming, the bailouts...etc If it weren't for the three rinos, Specter, Snow and Collins the Stimulus Bill would not have been passed in the Senate. We need real conservatives to represent the people of this country who get up five days a week for work, pay their taxes, respect the laws, live within their means and believe in the fredeom of religion. Unfortunately there are too many people in this country who believe they should have a home, health insurance, college education...etc without having to work for it and they support the politicans who are willing to sell out the country for their vote. The politicans running this country could care less about America, the people who died in the wars to perserve our freedom and God given rights and the working class. All they care about is their political careers and being able to tell the commoners what they can do and when they can do it. The media is nothing but a propaganda tool for these socialists/communists pukes. Exlax and warm water for them all.

Got to love Liberals that claim conservative hate America as they crush the Constitution under their wooden-heeled jack boots.

Congress has no constitutional authority to extort taxes from Americans to fund the felons at ACORN, Hamas, La Raza, to discriminate against none-union contractor in awarding contracts, to fund the global warming hoax, to create a sub-standard healthcare system, and to fund women around the world who prefer abortion as a means of birth control. Since when does the standard of living of the Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse trump the standard of living of the taxpayer?

It is not conservatives that want to change America from a capitalistic country to a country founded on despotism. It is Liberals who hate America had they who have hired Barry to transition that change.

Geithner won't rule out canning more CEOs, but he has <b>definitely</b> ruled out our Constitution.

This is not capitalism or democracy, and it is the people's fault. We elected a large community leader on the basis that he was well spoken and charismatic. Governments are taking over large corporations and not even small businesses are safe from an incredible tax hike. I pay over 50% of my revenue to the government now, and we just passed the largest government spending plan ever! Did people actually think that a President that wants to EXPAND the government will save them tax money? We must get people to start reading and get off CNN, MSNBC or FOX News. It's sad but ignorance and greed will be the end of our society.

Just wait until 2010 when we take back control of the congress and start going after these criminals that have been destroying our country. There are going to be a lot of full gallows!
