First - watch what you say. I never said that she sold it on eBay. That is one of your talking points - not the truth. Second, if you think that the economy is turning around, then you must not know that the unemployment numbers are really @ 15% unemployment. Third, made many mistakes. You must remember, however, your Constitution. It is Congress which makes the laws and sets budgets. It is the President who enacts them into law by signing them. Ergo, Bush's spending was shared by all of Congress since he couldn't have spent a penny without their cooperation. Remember, Obama voted for TARP and added his pork to the pork Omnibus Bill - Bush had told Pelosi he would not sign it into law - so Pelosi held it up until after the election and the rest is history. Pork. Pork. And BOTH Democrats and Republicans shared in the raping of our children - who will be paying for this mess. You do know that we have to borrow @ 45 cents of every dollar we spend? I think it has gone up but I am not sure. Michelle earned big bucks for her job at the hospital. She did such a great job that she cured the problems she was in charged of solving because the did away with the position after she left. You still believe the hype about Palin's wardrobe. I think the cost of the pillars at Obama's speech was obscene. Over a million dollars? What a waste of money. Wow - you all must have received Alinsky's Rules for Radicals as birthday gifts since you use #4 so well: Ridicule the speaker in order to neutralize the message. You also need to reread the Constitution. Faith based initiative did not violate the Constitution. The money was spent to teach basic skills: reading, math, English as a Second Language, Citizenship classes, GED prep, Adult Basic Education - not for conversion into any "state" religion. I think Obama's Trinity Church used some of the funds to support their programs. As far as czars, we really need to sit back and count noses. There is NO comparison with the numbers. Plus, I do feel uncomfortable with avowed members of the American Socialist party serving such an important role in our government. They don't have to swear to serve and protect the Constitution since Obama hired them privately - and that worries me. Oh, the link from the ASP to the members of Congress who are members has been shut down. Transparency in government in action. I did copy it so I can assure you that most of the members are also members of the Dem. Progressive Caucus. That is the group of @ 45 members of Congress who have pledged to bring about single payer health care - according to their platform. I appreciate your attempt to provide support for your comments.

Lindamae, you need a reality check. Sarah Palin took a huge loss on the sale of that Airplane which she lied and said "SHE" sold it on EBAY. The fact was that they had to pay a broker to sell the plane, because no one wanted it on EBAY. How quickly you people forget your lies, but are quick to push lies about others. And Obama and his administration don't need economics courses because in case you haven't been keeping up with real news....the economy is turning around. AND ENOUGH with the CZARS already, you all sound like a bunch of idiots. I didn't hear any of you people calling the expanded Goverment heads under BUSH CZARS..like his CZAR for HOME LAND SECURITY. Republican Mike Pence of Indiana even said: The Republican party left to its own devices from 1995-2000, was a party committed to limited government....Clearly President Bush has had a different vision, and that vision has resulted in education and welfare policies that have increased the size and scope of government." In 2004- the government spent $2.3 Trillion and ran a $412 Billion deficit. And let's not forget Bush fighting for his "faith based initiative", giving $3.7 Billion in federal funding to church's (who by the way don't pay taxes). Which by the way also VIOLATED the constitution "prohibition on government establishment of religion." And finally---to Ms. Palin's wardrobe...she made a point to ask for it and when she got caught and only AFTER did she get rid of it. And if you are referring to Michelle Obama's handbag...the woman has worked and been paid well for her work as an administrator and she didn't ask anyone to buy it for her.

Excuses are like assholes...everybody's got one. Sarah Palin took the cake....she had many.
