But"Vetting" process? WHAT vetting process? Obama's records are sealed. What is it we don't know about him? Chew on that one while you're stewing on the others. Sorry, Kiddo. All I'm doing is raising our blood pressure levels. There's not one thing we can do about it.</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> Fri, 13 Mar 2009 21:55:06 +0000 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/13/open-thread-692/#IDComment16875429 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/13/because-you-asked-2/#IDComment16874897 Thanks ladies, (barbaranaples and SL500) It's always nice to know I'm not alone!

Nothing has been solved, housing is still in a big slump, the banking industry is still in a tizzy (and using TAXPAYER MONEY to make loans to foreign countries), and if or when the carbon credit taxes hit industry, you can kiss these gains, the rest of the market, and your own personal ASSets goodbye. It will hit the fan.

Keep it simple! I'm sooooooo technically challenged. As far as I'm concerned, "twitter" is what birds do. I don't even know what it means when people talk about it. Is it something you do on a computer, or maybe a "blackberry"? Speaking of blackberries, I eat them. Whatever you do, please remember that there are a handful of us who are really stretching it just to blog here.

He was helping an addict get her drugs. She may very well have sent him on the errands, but he COULD have refused to do it. The doctors involved are even more disgusting. They, even more so than Stern, would have known the possible complications associated with these drug combos. It's obvious that nobody in this circle cared enough about her to get her help, whether she wanted it or not. They all seem more interested in their own bottom line.

Right. I don't think the Obama supporters realize that they may not be filing a return, or paying in, but they WILL be paying taxes, and plenty of them. Remember the airline that has decided to charge customers to use the bathroom on the plane? They got that idea out of the Obama play book. We'll be taxed in ways never before imagined. It may not be a direct tax, but if they tax an industry, say, carbon credit crap, don't think for a minute that that won't be passed on to each and every one of us. And that's just a drop in the bucket. We're going to need to change the last line of the Pledge of Allegiance to "deficits and taxes for all". That better describes this country after that "change" we could all believe in was elected to office..

I guess he's trying to talk out of the OTHER side of his mouth now. But who would believe a thing he says at this point? The market is up some, and I'm happy about that, but the fact is, the problems HAVE NOT been solved, and I don't know that this rally means all that much. People may be taking advantage of REALLY cheap stocks, and crossing their fingers that the companies won't fold. If they hold on, and the economy eventually comes back, and those companies are still in business, they'll see a huge return on their money. IF...IF...IF!

He made it sound like it was out of control, secretive, acting irresponsibly, dishonest,spending money hand over fist, andout of touch with the people.......was he really describing the Bush's Administration, or giving us a futuristic glimpse intohis own?</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> Fri, 13 Mar 2009 19:16:12 +0000 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/13/open-thread-692/#IDComment16868474 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/13/open-thread-692/#IDComment16867170  IntenseDebate Notification <DIV>Bigtex- NO KIDDING!</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> Fri, 13 Mar 2009 19:00:12 +0000 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/13/open-thread-692/#IDComment16867170 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/13/open-thread-692/#IDComment16865268 Is there anyone on the blog that was SURPRISED to learn that Howard K.

Do I have an IPHONE? Heck no. The phone I've got is the bottom of the line. I carry it for emergencies only. It had several features on it, but I had them all blocked except for incoming and outgoing calls. I don't even know how to change the ring tone. Keep it simple. The secret to life is "off" and "on". The more bells and whistles, the more expensive, the more there is to go wrong.

I look at that guy and shake my head. What were they thinking? Look at him. The guy doesn't have a clue. How in the world did he merit the appointment of Sec. of the Treas.? Did they figure if they put a crook in charge of the IRS that they would never be investigated themselves? You have to wonder.

Months back, when he was named as a possible runningmate for McCain, I nearly died. Can't stand the man personally, and can't think of a single thing he's done to improve the problems in our state.

Yesterday, I suggested Pelosi fly in a a single engine plane instead. It would be very economical, and in case of engine failure...no back up!

Oh, and by the way, "cracker" is a socially racist word, but then, it applies to whites, so it's okay- right? The Governor is looking at things realistically. He knows that if he accepts this money, down the road it will end up being a burden to the state's taxpayers, when the federal funds run out. Too many people who could help themselves CHOOSE to feed at the trough. There are MANY people who ABUSE the welfare system, and think nothing of it. The taxpayers- you know, those people who actually PAY IN to the treasury- have about all they can handle, and it's only going to get worse. If you feel so bladly about the plight of the down-trodden, why don't you consider sending a monthly check to a charitable organization that serves the needs of the poor. Share some of your wealth.
