In the words of Jimmy Carter, former President of the US, “I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.” In other words when his popularity went from 70% to 50% it was because all of a sudden those who no longer support him realized that they were racist.

Like selling out the poles on missle defense. Tell us Domald, what has he done? Stimulated the Japanese car companies. Paid off the UAW for their support. Spent millions on highway signs telling everyone how great they are.

To you armchair polititians: The majority of the USA voted Obama in last election day, for this we should be very thankful for. Now, just let him do his job, support him. He has done an excellent job and looks like our future will be brighter day by day. YA BETCHA

Trust me, I'm from the government an I'm here to help you.......... House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday she is clueless about an amendment to prohibit government funds for embattled ACORN, although it overwhelmingly passed the Senate Monday and the White House is calling for the group to be held accountable. "I don't even know what they passed," Pelosi told The Post yesterday. "What did they do? They defunded it?" http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/pelosi_clueless_about_cash_cut_off_ZHSkPZ2Mbhr5phoqht5GHN

President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage. He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered - a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants. http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/18/obama-ties-immigration-to-health-care-battle/?feat=home_cube_position1
