The Goat Pen

I would go even further and say that the opposition to Obama expressed here over the past 3+ years has been a great deal more respectful of the man than a lot of the shots that were taken at President Bush. "He's dumb" seemed to be the most common theme of the Bush-haters (again, yourself included). Most of the criticism of Obama has been based on what he said during the campaign in 2008 vs. the results we have seen since he took office. That's not whining. That's not crying. That's not bitching. That's not "he's dumb". It's just a reaction to and a discussion of the facts.

Unfortunately for the country, The Chosen One has given us plenty to criticize without having to resort to the sort of childishness we saw here on a daily basis when Bush was still POTUS.

He was dumb.

Sarcastically calling him "The Chosen One" is respectful?

I can't decide which is worse, Hack's whining about the president or his whining about other people's disparagement of Bush. Probably the latter...

If me calling him "The Chosen One" is the worst complaint you can come up with, then I think you're pretty much making my point for me.

Even President Obama, himself, said that if he didn't turn things around in 3 years, he should not be re-elected...

Health insurance premiums seem to be down in the marketplace compared to last year. Maybe tick and AA can shed some light. I know tick will automatically claim it's Opramacare, but I'm sure it's more complex than that.

Tell my company that, woudl ya?

They managed to make a deal so it was only a 3% increase but what was purposed was a 18%.

Oh yeah, I pay around 500.00 a month for a 6000 deductible plan.

2012 Expected 5.4% Increase Lowest Healthcare Cost Increase Since 1997

Sardis is correct about the lower healthcare costs. I also saw the Millimen Medical Index for 2012, the one that measures costs for a family of four - this last year was an increase of 6.9%, the lowest one-year increase since they've been measuring.

I know what's up, but it'll sound self-serving so I'll just keep it to myself.

That Wisconsin college crybaby was priceless. "It's the end of the USA as we know it...it's the end of democracy"

That is just too fucking funny. Hearing that are any of us surprised that American test scores are so low???

Hilarious.

November is going to be priceless. Libs are going to riot.

LOL Speaking of self-serving....this 'dubya was crucified while oprama got the kid-glove treatment' is pure gold and is destined to be a pnn classic.

A few Bush mangled press moments

If a man did this to a woman (any woman) he goes to jail. I think Barrett should ask a judge for a restraining order and have some domestic violence group meet him at the courthouse. And if they refuse to support him, run to the media for gender bias.

Yeah, because the only negative thing that was ever said about Bush was in reference to his press conference blunders. Yeah, that's it. That was the extent of the Bush-bashing here.

Someone please take the shovel out of diggin' 'tick's hands. He's embarrassing himself.

That's what he gets for courting the support of a bunch of nutjobs.

Deep breaths Hack.

It's OK. I'm still paying taxes to support someone else's kids in school. One of the benefits of being a homeowner.

Next we need to turn our attention to this bullshit call "tenure" for teachers...fuckin' unions...

It has nothing to do with party affiliation, I have little respect for the man himself.

'Bout sums it up.
