I didn't see a letter for "the mess I inherited."

We need to add "sustainable," "saved or created", and "C-Span". Oh, never mind about the C-Span, he broke his promise on that one.
>> Elizabeth Tuesday, January 26, 2010 9:11 PM Report Comment
You don't need a letter for inheritance he will tax you for that. Besides he spent more in a year than what all other president combined spent. 850 Billion for a stimulus that is still needing stimulated while he sits on the money.

Grover, anyone creative enough to have Obama bingo is someone I want to hang with. Then, we can discuss why HR 25 sux and my tax reform ideas related to taxing net worth instead of income are an idea ready for your organization to support. Call me in Florida at 239 676 9843. Obama Bingo. I won playing card No. 3. Where is my prize Grover? What do I win? Another tax increase? I hope not. The middle class cannot afford any more taxes. See you in DC for the Tea Party. I am expecting over 4 million this time. T. Scherer, the best candidate for United States Congress (from KS). Aka, the Wizard of Oz. In Florida, glad I got my Oz out of Kansas for a while. tdus

How long are the Lefty Liberals going to use the phrase, "mess Obama inherited". What President didn't inherit a mess from the previous President. Oh yea, that would have been Bush 41 since he came after President Ronald Regan! The economy was on it's way down when BO became Prez, but he made that and everything else worse!!!!!!!!!
>> LAURA Tuesday, January 26, 2010 9:38 PM Report Comment
Laura, you are absolutely right. Dems and GOP agree. Obama did make a mess of things. Thanks for your post. If we try hard enough, we can be a United States of America again. Right after the 2010 election cycle, speak with clarity, have a common vison and make America a great nation again by rebuilding our industrial base and bring jobs and manufacturing back to America. Nice post. tdus
>> Thomas For Congress Scherer Tuesday, January 26, 2010 9:47 PM Report Comment
The POTUS is nothing more than a figurehead. Congress pretty much decides everything. The Democrats took over congress in 2006 and Os(b)ama was part of that congress. He didn't inherit anything. He is only there now to try and fix the mess he helped make-but like any liberal you blame someone else for your problems!! TAKE BACK AMERICA 2010. God Bless America.
>> Mike Tuesday, January 26, 2010 10:14 PM Report Comment
Maybe it's just me,but doesn't it seem not only plausible but highly probable that "all this mess" is CONTRIVED. Obama, lefty libtards &the progressives in the media "created" this crisis. The LAME STREAM MEDIA spent the last 5yrs bashing Bush DAILY. Bush isn't without his faults. But c'mon..the mortgage crisis was actually caused by our progressive CONGRESS(you know Barney Frank's boyfriend was a big wig @ Fannie Mae?) CONGRESS forced the sub-prime crap on banks, they HAD to have ACORN nuts on their "councils" look, kinda like "the mafia." The progressives in this country had this plan for a long time-Cloward & Pivan-overwhelm the "masses" with bull & ppl will believe it!! Unempl under Bush wasn't 10%
>> Cindy Tuesday, January 26, 2010 10:25 PM Report Comment
His pathological narcissism is the reason he has to play the "Blame Bush" game...he has to lie to make his followers believe him, he as to blame someone else to make himself look better than his predessors, and then if something doesn't go his way (i.e., Scott Brown!), he gets frustrated and to the point of being angry because being a narcissist, he can't stand anyone else grandstanding him. He needs approval, he needs acceptance, and he needs his people to put him up on the pedestal that he created himself because he's a narcissist. Be aware of his upcoming One World Goverment in a city near you!
>> C.Ann.C Tuesday, January 26, 2010 11:34 PM Report Comment
Pres. BHO and his lefty Progressives have conveniently chosen to forget that their roll in The Clinton and following Presidents Congresses were setting up with Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac the ground work for our economic collapse. BHO was providing Legal training of ACORN operatives on how to intimidate financial institutions into providing loans to those who would not normally qualify. Then later Sen. BHO and Sen. Dodd received the highest Amount of funds from no other than Fanny May and Freddie Mac... Hmmm, so who really played a large roll in this economic mess?
>> Steve V. Oregon Wednesday, January 27, 2010 1:57 AM Report Comment
Well i must chime in. If President Clinton can get away with allowing banks to merge while the Glass Steagall act was still in effect, just because every politician stood to make bank, then why not blame Bush. If this merger had been halted and teh steagall act maintain, we would not be in this mess. liberals state that Bush should have reinstated teh act, therefore he is at fault, sorry, it took the entire house to pass the demise,Bush was set for failure from the time he took office. Then Osama had to pee inthe punch bowl and Bush showed he has the strength to run this country.
>> Eric Wednesday, January 27, 2010 5:31 AM Report Comment
The US needs more than tax relief, we need to somehow pay down the national debt or our grandkids will have no income to tax. Read www.ideasforourfuture.com for a possible solution to our horrendous debt. Great idea, these bingo cards, I'm sending this to all my friends.

Sorry - but I don't have the stomach to watch this man in this speech or any other speech! It's just to scary! Cute idea with the bingo cards though.

I agree with Diane-I am tired of watching this arrogant egotistical man talk out of both sides of his mouth-enough is enough. I would like to see him try to speak for 10 minutes with the crutch of his teleprompters. He tells you want he thinks you want to hear and turns around and does the opposite. Scarey man with scarey czars. He wants to be a good one term president? Spare me. 2012 cannot come quick enough. Sending the bingo cards to everyone I know. Cute idea.

You probably also forgot Barney Frank & B. Boxers impassioned speaches against what Bush warned saying that the nasty old Republicans wanted to keep the poor people from owning houses too. Yeh, I thought so! Very lselective memories on the Left Socialists.

I agree with the aforementioned remarks concerning watching Obama on TV. What ever he says, we must remember what his end intention is. He is a PROGRESSIVE who wants to control every aspect of our lives. This will be attempted all at once or over time. Stay alert people!!!!!!!!!!!! Joenear Gettysburg, Pa.

I understand that large quantities of the money allocated for "stimulus" has NOT been spent. Would anybody care to wager whether or not the spending begins in earnest around, say, one year before the 2012 general election?????
>> Ken Wednesday, January 27, 2010 10:37 AM Report Comment
If you play at least two of the cards you are sure to win. Obama has a limited phrase book, and these cards just about cover the entire book. At least it's one way to help control your anger while you listen!

I'm not so sure we should play this game while watching the speech. It may be a ploy to see the numbers of people who watches this mistake they voted for in 2008. If you can't stand to see him on the tube, some major radio networks will most likely air the specch, too. You can still play Obama Bingo without seeing him on the screen. I'll watch a movie and listen to the speech via my laptop to play Bingo; can't stand to even look at him anymore...his eyes tell what he really is. A liar!

Tax Reform... Politicians have spent around 100 years conniving thousands of taxes to foist on a "Sleeping Public." Until Americans Wake Up and stop reelecting these rabid politicians back to office, we are doomed. Everyone thinks Congress is in horrible shape, then go and vote for the incumbent in their State. Everyone in Congress is an idiot, except my idiot! House nearly 98% reelection rate. Senate not far behind.

I'm hoarse from yelling at the tube. This clown says he's going to give everyone a world-class education, but cut the *feral* budget, then he says he'll forgive the now-gov't run student loan in 10 yrs. if the individual goes into public service! He truly thinks we are stupid, and it's quite obvious that Harvard or that grade school in Indonesia didn't teach him basic math. How is he going to pay the school the gov't loan money if he's going to "forgive" the loan that was funded on the sweat of the American Citizens income tax?
