I have been forced to suffer thru countless business oriented "leadership" training programs led by and preaching principles that are bereft of anything truly related to leadership. Whenever the situations warrants it, I tell these corporate bureucrats who believe controling a project budget is "leadership" that the most important job I have ever had was as a fire team leader in Vietnam at 23 years of age and the best leader I ever knew, ever, was my platoon sergeant who around his 18th yeas stood before a judge who gave him a choice - go to jail or to the Army. Sgt Adams chose the Big Green, learned his MOS in an Einstein-like manner, and taught me the only real leadership principles that should ever matter: Accomplish your mission while safeguarding the well being of your people. These are roll-up-your shirtsleeve fundamentals Hollywood will never appreciate and safeguarding your people - at the cost of your own life if necessary - is a belief system as alien to them as actual pride in your nation and standing with the man next to you when in harms way.

Then they are good millionairres and often the corps they head up (GE) end up paying no taxes at all.

As sad as it truly makes me, I cannot say that Annie66 has gone too far in what she said. She is truthful and has not overstated her comparison.

It should be an American issue and one where there is no disagreement between Republican challengers or already elected legislators. The sooner we can unite as a party the sooner we can lay our ears back, bare our teeth and fight a battle as critical to America's survival as Bunker Hill, Gettysburg or Midway or D-Day.

But have you ever wondered what would have happened had not good King Richard returned from his Crusade? Imagine it... Robin would continue to rob from the rich .. but in time, there would be no "rich" left to rob from - no money at all left to redistribute to anyone because everybody has been bled to death. Then Britain would be invaded by France, conquered and we would all be speaking French now. So, where is OUR King Richard?

And I thought THEY were crooks!?!?!?!?

Or maybe he can go to the NBA All Star game with Obama and give this "privleged" speech duing the game's half time - like Modaonna's performance at the SuperBowl. I am sure all the NBA thugs will all open their checkbooks and hand over big bucks to Tom G because they are so very priveldged.

Is that before or after being forced to buy medical insurance by Federal mandate?

He then began giving one of his professorial type lectures to the camera. He said it was a great time to invest because of the excellent "profits-to-earnings ratios" available to investors. Profits to EARNING ratio? I learned on about the 3rd or 4th day of Econ 101 the method to compute a PRICE-to-Earnings ratio. I had suspected that Obama was a packaged product constructed like the Frankenstein monster and promoted by a complicit liberal press but this demonstration of his fundamental economic illiteracy was proof to me that this is preciesly what Obama is. Profits-to-earnings? Utter ignorance at the most basic level and this guy has the keys to the car!!!!!

One woman said she never heard of Mitt Romney. One man said he never heard of Rick Santorum and when he was asked his thoughts on the national debt, he said, "You mean America is in debt" The last clown was asked who he was likely to vote for and he said, "I'll stick with Obama again." The interviewer fthen asked, "Did you vote in 2008?" and the man answered "No".... These 3 morons are what we are dealing with .. brain dead, unaware, addicted to texting iPads and Dancing With ther Stars and no clue of anything relating to "who, what, when where and why."

And for ever penny the per-galloon prices rises on gas, the more revenue the state collects to giveaway for things having nothing to do with transport infrastructure. It is Catch 22 come to life and with Dems dominating the whole state government, there is no incentive for the Dem legislators to do anything different. No matter how badly they screw their constituents, they keep getting reelected by them.

Remember her? Wonder what her status is now? IMO, she has either been foreclosed or has been appointed as Obama's Housing Czar.

I guess my impression of what the text says is based on Obama's view of us Amercians - the ones paying all the bills, including his.

That is his plan and his desire. I think what you meant to say is that Obama will not ADMIT it. But I suspect that if you could see him in certain circles, you'd see him High 5ing his progressive-socialist pals and celebrating a successful scam being pulled off on the people.

With nearly 50% not paying any taxes, we are very close to the point-of-no-return. And the scary thing is - the possibility of amnesty for millions of deabeats and English illiterates who have NO desire to assimilate into the USA combined with a whole new generation of dumb downed, progagandized "students" who are educated as leftist radicals, I don't think we can keep up with the movement towrads the abyss. Sooner or later there will be more brain dead, iPad and texting zombies and welfare riders than us and one day they will just vote to open the doors of the Treasury and America will be Greece before the sun sets that day.

Becuase we know the govt does not count people as unemployed when their unemployment checks stop, by exhausting people's unemployment checks earlier, Obama will be able to claim fewer people are unemployed and use this "improvement" to sucker idiots into thinking unemployment is improving - right before the Nov elections.

Where is our hardhitting press? How did an admitted high school doper/slacker get into the Ivy League? Who paid the tution, his poppa? his hippie Mom... his rather regular grandparents? WHO is Daddy Warbucks and where is he now?

Marion Berry wins reelection In Washington DC all the time despite him not even bothering to FILE Federal or DC taxes... When he is caught after multiple years of tax dodging, a hearing is held and Berry walks away... no letter of reprimand - no nothing. The residents of Ward 8 in DC see him as Robn Hood and love how he gives the finger to the law. They love that he is a crook and gets away with it as the system lets him slide on capital crimes.
