"$5 Trillion and Change

Obama's four years have seen the four highest deficits since 1946."

Do you know who holds the vast majority of the federal debt? It ain't China...

When a professional sports team fires their manager/head coach and then hires a new leader of their franchise how many years do you give him to turn around a franchise that was losing games and money but yet still paying their investors nice dividends while their employees took huge pay cuts just to have an income to support their family? Most head coaching deals are 4-5 years with hope of improvement in years 3-4. Its harder when the rest of the front office is against anything you do because you are the new guy the owner wanted and threatens your way of life.

Yeah, but they're doing it on the backs of working man. VW is actually paying them wages. They'll have to pay taxes, buy insurance and stuff.

Skyrocketing taxes and spending, a state budget that is approaching bankruptcy, and hyper-regulation are driving a lot of businesses (and jobs) out of Illinois and to next door to Indiana. Hoosier Governor Mitch Daniels is recruiting Illinois businesses like Nick Saban recruits 4 and 5 star athletes. This will make his sales pitch even easier:

Daniels and Indiana's Republican legislature should form a superpac to make whopping contributions to our Governor Pat Quinn's and the Democrat legislature's reelection.

Skyrocketing taxes and spending...


You MUST be fibbing, cause Paul Krugman (NYT genius) says now is the time for MORE gubment spending. Illinois will be back better than ever....

Our genius governor did his state of the state speech the other day. No mention of the fiscal cliff that he and his fellow democrats are driving us over. He did propose several new "investments," though.

Such low expectations when a dem is in the WH.
Deep thought of the day: "I was adopted. I thank my birth mother every day for not aborting me (although I wouldn't doubt her decision if she did)."

I figure Americans would buy MORE liquor during a recession, not less.

Obama.... four.... more.... years.... book it.

After denying Keystone and thousands of jobs, the shameless One had this to say when the unemployment numbers came out:

Now’s the time for action. So I want to send a clear message to Congress. Do not slow down the recovery that we’re on. Don’t muck it up,” Obama said.




Worst.
Idiot.
President.
Ever.
