* There is no endgame in Crapistan as long as they have oil, natural gas, and opium. Didn't you know?
* Universal Health Care = Free lunch paid for by the taxpayer. That really doesn't matter since smart progressives like you know how to spend what I earn better than I do.
* Bailout = J.P Morgan would've been proud. Push out the little guys while the big boys get bigger.
* Attempt at bipartisanship? Are you high? What is this BS infatuation with bipartisanship? It wasn't designed to be fast. They're supposed to argue. When they all agree on something it usually means the people are getting screwed.
* His willingness to talk
down to the American People is more like it.
* Support for education expenditures in the stimulus to pump out more brain dead progressives on the taxpayer's dime. Get Jay Leno to prove me wrong.
* Support for cap and trade. Now that is one of the best rackets ever. It's not alright to pollute the air and water, unless you pay. Again, push out the little guys while the big boys get bigger. I'm sure Dominion Power is happy. They're already a monopoly. You would've made a good robber barron Saden.
* Willingness to go out and cleanup the image of the U.S.? I've got news for you buddy. It's not the U.S that has a bad image, it's the U.S Government. That's because this progressive government sticks its nose in everyone's business and has been doing so for a long time. Mexicans aren't dying in the desert to get into Guatemala.
* Reauthorizing SCHIP. It's alright to take what I earn without my consent. It's for the children. That's mighty Christian of you Saden.
* Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act. I actually agree with this one. Why buy expensive weapons systems if you don't plan on using them? I'm mean it's not like this government wins wars anymore. That would be bad for business.
* Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Have you ever heard of the black market? In case you didn't know, that's how Hezbollah buys RPGs. It's still 20 bucks a carton in Richmond, without tax thank you. But as you've made it clear, you've no love for Israel. As long as I get my cheap smokes it's all good, right?
* Credit CARD Act of 2009. I agree with that one too but your giving Obama credit for Congress's work.
* Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. Source Wikipedia: "The bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 stating that the 180-day statute of limitations for filing an equal-pay lawsuit regarding pay discrimination resets with each new discriminatory paycheck." This sounds like a hustle to me but what do I know? I cling to my AR-10. You can keep the bible. I'm not my brother's keeper / overseer.
