THIS IS THE CHANGE PROMISED

same old hacks, same old crooks running the show and I love the Democrat touch, they bring their losers back as fast as they can.

This guy can make this kind of money and Bo dictates that others can't?

BO says we have to have higher taxes while his guys don't have to pay.

BO says no earmarks and then SMILES IN THE FACES OF AMERICANS AND SIGNS A BILL WITH 9000

all in under 90 days

Summers, Rubin, Paulson, Geitner, Berneke ALL PART OF THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION

but damn he sure talks pretty............................ Permalink
