    Do you want me to list the rest? :p

    You get my drift? I am new here and am not trying to start a 'troll war'. I have been reading this forum since one of my buddies brought me in (he is a member that will remain nameless).....but the attacks that certain people on both sides bring up seem petty and hypocritical.

    Just trying to keep the contrasting sides balanced.

    I believe that was a requirement to get on the ticket.

    Well...I'll say this.

    Reading a teleprompter isn't easy, at all, especially in front of a camera. So, I'll defend the president and every ditsy anchorman/woman that ever irritated me when I watched broadcast news. Because I thought otherwise until I had to do it.

    i've been doing it for two years, and it takes a long time to look natural doing it. Also, it's much easier to read your own words than someone else's on the teleprompter. I don't see how any president can take someone else's speech and not make small changes, if nothing else, to the timing. Everyone has subtle nuances in the way they speak...and trying to read another person's speech is asking to trip on your own tongue.

    My boss started writing my scripts and it's pure hell.

    Yeah, I'd say Obama has been punch drunk ever since he stepped into office...

    Wow! I guess you’ve nominated yourself the C.N.A of Clutch fans. Well since you seem to have a lot of time on your hand, how about run behind me while I take a crap? You can clean that up as well.

    Punch Drunk? Or a little dose of reality?

    I am sorry.....but if anyone thought for a second he was going to be able to keep his plan the way he wanted in these times of chaos and uncertainty.......I have some beachfront property in Nebraska I would like to sell you.

    Every person running for president does the same thing. This is nothing new. But after 60+ days......it is still to early to tell what kind of change will come out of a newly elected President. Way too early.

    Oh really, so because we are in 'times of chaos and uncertainty', then Obama should not protect our tax dollars, get rid of earmarks/pork barrel spending, and hire a Treasury Secretary that understands things?

    Sorry rookie, but these promises need to be kept in any market environment. Chaotic times do not excuse the lies that the two-faced Obama told.

    I have never lost an argument. This pathetic attempt by the rookie is no exception.

    I am The_Conquistador. I am a man of great means, and therefore great wisdom.

    Ok......For one......Obama never said GET RID of pork barrel spending in that video. Exact Quote "Absolutely we need ear mark reform, and when I am President....I will go line by line to make sure we are not spending money unwisely." So he did not lie.

    Speaking of the ear mark issue......why is it that Obama bent over backwards to work with Republicans to get a Bailout that would work for both sides and the republicans vetoed.........after putting Hundreds of Millions of Dollars of PORK into it to help their constituents out?

    Little fishy huh? A case of biting the hand that feeds you eh?

    Ill be back to finish my thoughts. Still at work. But by the way.....I might be a Rook, but as far as your posts I have read..... :rolleyes: ;)

    Rookie, Obama did not go line-by-line through PORKULUS or EARMARKULUS to eliminate wasteful spending. So he lied.

    1. You probably shouldn't run while you take a crap.
    2. If you are going to call somebody out as being stupid or lesser in a post, you should probably at least use the right words to do it.

    Duh.

    Ok....you might be right. You might be wrong. I might be 12....have a torn rotator cuff.....and will steal home after making fun of your big ass!

    I am only a Rook! :rolleyes:

    Come on man! You know better than this! Or at least I give you that much credit. Which might be too much I guess........Like I said before.....Obama had HIS STIMULUS he brought to the Republicans. After they cried and complained that it would never work........Obama went ahead and cut funding to many programs including infrastructure. Which as we all know.........stimulates the economy.

    So he decides.....against his own solution to the problem......to work with the Republicans.....gives up way too much to get the bill through.....and what happens? The Republicans add their PORK, get their money and the veto anyway.

    Why is this Obama's fault? Shouldn't we point the finger at more than him? You.....and many other seem to think he is our Dictator. Our King! But there is way more to that than that. Your republican base has not done a thing to help SOLVE the problem since Obama took office........besides go to a Britney concert and complain about getting the Stimulus funding they added as pork to the bill! Half the time......Refusing to accept it!

    For the Record......I am not Demo.....or Repub.......but I dont need to have my head up a butcher ass to know what the T-Bone looks like. I call it both ways.
