Corporations are people, my friend.

Well, it WAS a nice country we had there for a while. The sad part is those 5 pygmies don’t even understand the damage they have done.

Sure they do! They are doing EXACTLY as their Conservative Republican bosses tell them to do!!

And if they were liberals you would be praising their “enlightened actions.”

Neither does Obama understand the damage he has done.

No, I don’t get it. I do see Obama is ‘lawyering up’ to ensure if he loses the election he still stays president the next 4 years.

Not until they get sent to prison. Not until Texas executes one.

But that’s because you’re delusional.

Do you even understand what you’re saying? If you haven’t read the news, we were in the tank thanks to Bush and the unified Republicans in congress who – even when Democrats had a technical majority – managed to block everything with their unprecedented use of the filibuster in the Senate. They couldn’t do a thing without a super majority, which would never come.
Obama, on the other hand, (and while not perfect), did get things turned around. From a nosedive, we are crawling back into positive territory. Again – no thanks to Republicans who made it a formal strategy to oppose him at every turn, even when he proposed Republican ideas (remember, the health care mandate idea was created by the Heritage Foundation) – even when they knew his suggestions might be good for the nation.
By the way, statistically, when Republicans are in office, unemployment goes up. When Democrats are in office, it goes down.

I would have thought that people of all political views would see the damage being done by unlimited corporate spending. But zoidknight and Ima just want to continue to complain about President Obama without facts and falsely state that liberals would accept this if it was from the more liberal judges. Look up the disapproval of Kelo vs New London and the liberals’ reaction when it looked like the President was going to approve XL.

Only if they were actually upholding the Constitution. Something the reicht-wing “conservative” (in)justices refuse to do, except when it is convenient to their party.

“Neither does Obama understand the damage he has done.”
Mindless parrot.

If the redumblican’ts in the House weren’t of the midset that they would be willing to drive this country into the ground before they would WORK with a black man as President, much less damage would have been inflicted. The redumblican party owns most of the ills of this country. If the rethuglican’s and tea-baggers hadn’t taken the position that compromise only came when the demoncrats abandoned their positions and moved to the ‘right’, if they had actually been interested in WORKING towards a compromise that, while distasteful to many, was ultimately in the best interest of all, then the damage would have been minimal. The republicans are predominantly responsible for the damage wreaked during the bush reign, and they continued the assualt after President Obama took office.
