Our family had many great times at the boat harbor prior to the flood. I'll look to the north real hard tonight but not sure the Texas sky is big enough to see the fireworks from here.

Far too many Americans view Memorial Day and the 4th of July as a day away from work and never grasp the meaning behind these days. God Bless you Ms. Vaughn for your efforts and reminding all of us why we must honor the fallen but never ever give up our freedoms.

We are broke and those on the left and the right continue to ask for more and more. Wait until Cap and Trade passes and your utility bills double. Change is all we heard last year during the election. You can keep the change as it is time to spread our work ethic not our wealth.

Sent more troops to Afganistan when he said he would end the war. Attempting to close Club Gitmo and wants to try enemies of America as common street criminals. What has he done to deter North Korea or Iran for that fact? 9.5 percent unemployment and growing daily when he said it would get no higher than 8 percent if Congress passed his bailout plan. If Cap and Trade passes your utility bills will double. All I have heard from our President is Change You Can Believe In. Well you can keep the Change - Spread my Work Ethic not my money!

This just reaffirms that all we have left in Cedar Rapids are the drinking establishments!

When did W ever say I think I want to sit down and chat with the moderate wing of the Taliban? You won't get it that these people want to kill Americans until they blow up a WalMart, Blockbuster Video, or your neighborhood. But then again they will never find someone like you who is living in fantasy land!

The Democrats who had control of the House and Senate under Clinton laid the ground work for where we are today. While you were watching your 401K shoot for the stars - Clinton, Harkin and the Cronies made sure those who should be renting got home loans they could not afford. At the same time you all had visions of dollar signs in your sleep Osama and Al Qaeda plotted to kill innocent Americans. Clinton was too busy to care as his mind was on the interns. You blamed Bush for 911 after 9 months on the job. Then you freaked when the war turned deadly - duh its a war. Then he ensured we were not attacked again but it was his fault the sun came up every day.. As for those who make over 200,000 a year its not your money and if you aspire to make that kind of money get a degree, come up with a great idea, and earn it. Don't stand in front of us and say you do all the work and I'll take your money. Again I repeat this is Obama's Great Depression he is the President - Not W. But don't worry 4 years of this garbage and Americans will kick liberalism to the curb - hopefully forever. 65 years after FDR and liberals still have nothing to offer but fear - Now that is change we can believe in!

But no our fearless leaders "The Democrats" say no lets give the money to Freddie, Fannie, failing banks, and failing businesses. The stock market has lost over 3000 points since the election of Obama. This is the Obama Great Depression!

Look around us is this what you voted for in November?

We will soon be building bridges to no where for the schools, for the children, and we are going to need trucks to get us across the bridges. So don't worry help is on the way! Mon, 9 Mar 2009 18:00:09 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/40961622.html#IDComment16636790 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/40869987.html#IDComment16504503 Amen to the comment above! It is Liberal Democrats fault that we are in this mess. This is Obama's Great Depression and don't whine to me about bashing him already. Liberals are the same whackos who could not wait to blame W for Hurricane Katrna, the flood in Cedar Rapids, and for the sun coming up everyday.

Obama talks about going after those that make more than 250,000 a year. Wake up people there are not enough of these people to fund his socialist programs that he has in store for America. He is coming after the middle class next! By the way has the middle class seen the middle class tax cut Clinton promised us? To set the record straight the top wage earners pay 33 % of all federal taxes, the top 5 pay 54 %, the top 10 pay 65%, the top 25% pay 83% and the top 50% pay 96% of all taxes. According to the federal government if you make 29,019 you are in the top 50% of wage earners (So if you make more than 13.95 an hour you are rich). As for salaries the market determines our wages. At the same time out of control taxation, regulation, and the threat of unionizing every worker is dictating why companies are moving out of America.

Give me a break a Walmart employee is paid what they are because that is what the market dictates. At the same time we are losing our good jobs because companies are over regulated and taxed to death. They have no choice but to leave. As for athletes making millions of dollars get over it. Turn on the tube and you will see stadiums packed even with the economic downturn. It's either the owners get all of the money or the players get their slice; take your pick.

Our plant is closing and I'm losing my job not by my choice. The economy has gotten worse under Obama - 3000 points lost since he won the election. Why is this happening? It's happening because businesses fear the awful plans Obama has for this nation. This nation will never ever tax itself to prosperity. The Porkulus plan will not stimulate the economy. Obama is threatening to take the wealth from those who create jobs. Have you ever been hired by a welfare bum? Well under Obama you may just get the chance!

I also agree on the team of spies on this site checking us out! They can't handle the truth.

On a positive note I did my part in Obama's economy yesterday and sent a machine to Mexico which will delete more American jobs.

Obama must have sent some money to KCRG and they created a new job! What happened to freedom of speech?

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 16:54:07 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/40852357.html#IDComment16464126 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/40866317.html#IDComment16423069 Are you kidding me! This is the same crap Clinton told us for 8 years "I'll have a 100,000 new police officers and crime will go down. Check out the stats crimes continues to increase from where it was under Clinton and now cities across America are cutting police officers at an alarming rate.

Please name any government in the world that has taxed its way to prosperity. Since Obama was elected the stock market has dropped 2999 points. Chet is a Dummycrap and their is no way he will not allow a tax increase to pass his desk without his signature. He will say some stupid crap like it is for the children, for the schools, for 100 new teachers, a 100 new cops, or 100 bridges to NOWHERE!
