PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA
AS A BLACK MAN, AND A MOVIE PRODUCER LIVING IN THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO, I HAVE TO SAY, I WOULD FEEL VERY BETRAYED BY YOU, IF YOU SELECTED HILLARY CLINTON OVER GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON FOR SEC.
OF STATE!!!

GOVERNOR RICHARDSON WAS THE PIVOT THAT CAUSE YOU TO WIN THE HISPANIC VOTE! HE TURNED HIS BACK ON THE CLINTON’S TO SUPPORT A MAN WITH A VISION FOR THE FUTURE.

PLEASE DON’T TURN THAT VISION INTO POLITICAL FAVORS TO PLEASE THE POWERS THAT BE!!!! NO ONE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS THAN BILL RICHARDSON; FORMER “U.S. AMBASSADOR”, NEGOTIATING TO FREE AMERICANS UNJUSTLY HELD IN PRISONS AROUND THE GLOBE.

NOT TO OFFER HIM THAT POSITION WOULD BE A DISSERVICE TO THE COUNTRY, TO HIM, AND TO YOURSELF!!!! DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!

IF WE WANTED A 3RD.
CLINTON ADMINASTRATION, WE WOULD HAVE VOTED IN HILLARY!!!!

Exploring the depths of assholery. That’s a disturbing image.

Yeah, fortunately for my kids, I’m such an “asshat,” I educated them the RIGHT way on my own! My 17-year-old apparently offended someone with one of his opinions (I was pretty proud of it, myself) and my 13-year-old asked to “excuse himself from the discussion,” forced to sit in the hallway when he gave an Angie-type argument during Obama Indoctrination Class. Of course, he didn’t get in a BIT of trouble from mom!

It was funny, back in late September we went camping at Van Buren State Park over in SW Michigan and they had trick-or-treating. My 13-year-old didn’t bring a costume with him, but he came along for candy anyhow, ran off ahead of us slow-pokes. This guy tells him that since he has no costume, he has to tell a joke to get a treat. My son couldn’t think of one (he didn’t inherit my sense of humor) so the guy told him to go ask mom. He comes running back to where I was standing and says he needs a joke and why, and it fell out of my mouth before I could stop it (one of my bad habits): Obama. He says, “Mom, that’s not a joke,” and I told him, “Of course it is. The biggest joke passed off on an unsuspecting American public in over 2 centuries.” He starts laughing and runs off, and couple minutes later I hear shouting. I wander over and there’s this red-faced guy bitching, his wife trying to blend into the scenery, my son standing there mouth hanging open, getting hollered at. Guy says to me, “Who do you think you are blah blah blah G**-d*** Republicans blah blah blah G**-d*** Republicans.” Only thing is, I’m not a G**-d*** Republican, I’m a G**-d*** Independent, and I told him so, along with a few other choice Angie-isms. His face goes 3 shades of white, his mouth closes with a snap, and his buttocks meet his chair with a thump. “Welllll….. blah blah blah I’m union and we blah blah blah” as he hands over candy to all 5 of my children – and to me, too… with a smile.

And I’m just getting warmed up for my newest mission: Taking assholery to new and previously unexplored heights (and depths). Good thing I got my funny back; just in time, too!

Hehe I got the Oreo Cookie Award Nice!

And to think I had C’s and D’s in math in school. Not like the liberal schooling I was forced to endure placed an emphasis on the subject. I had to find that out on my own.

The Democratic-ruled education system wants people like 5.2 to be dumbed down enough in math, economics, and science to the point where they can’t use critical thinking and have to rely on the government for help or others to think for them.

BTW, here’s the article (and no, 5.2, I didn’t go seeking this out just because of you; I had it bookmarked already, to return to for a chuckle, immediately apparent where your comment had been lifted from).

TY, Chris. You get the Oreo Cookie Award today! I am on a continuous quest for knowledge, and I know where I can go for answers w/o the bull-honkers.

While SOME people obviously don’t, I actually DO get the economics. I did that college thing, had my can parked in econ far more than required (sometimes illicitly, but the instructor just winked and smiled – I like to tell myself it was cuz I was cute). I grooved on that stuff, breathed it, lived it, ate it for breakfast, lunch, and supper. I don’t think you ever really lose an affinity for something like that, either.

While 5.2 wants to cherry-pick nonsense from much larger nonsense, seemingly incapable of stringing a coherent thought of his own together and feeling a need to so thoughtfully “borrow” another person’s work, I think I actually have the credentials to speak on things like the economy (and even the debt AND the deficit, if he wants to try going toe to toe), having studied macro and microeconomics and political science (GET A CLUE, 5.2) along with a couple or 4 years of cost and intermediate accounting and finance, being an officer of the campus accounting club and member of AICPA, holding a seat on the school’s accounting program curriculum committee and another on the student judiciary committee, working as a tutor across some 40 subjects and teaching seminars, all while working full time for a lawyer and being a single mom to two children… oh, and having a transcription business on the side (I never do stuff small and to this day I am disillusioned as to this concept of “weekends”), all by the age of 21.

So let’s see your CV, 5.2. When you’re ready to contribute something useful to the conversation, I’ll be listening. I’m not trying to be condescending (I think), but I’ve had it up to my eyebrows with useless garbage being regurgitated and offered up as PROOF of how evil conservatism is and how almighty and good and wise liberalism must be by default.

Angie what do you expect? People like 5.2 copy and paste other people’s opinions instead of coming up with their own.

On a side note money supply is much more important to the economy then anything else. The rapid increase in prices over the last five years was due to a rapid increase in the money supply via loans.

Health care cost increases are partly due to that but more from a lack of competition, but that is a topic for another day.

The topper was the stimulus checks. Note how the GDP shot up in June and prices soon followed in gas and food, essentials mind you, in July.

The reason why there is no lending going on now is the economy has reached a ceiling on it’s money supply and until that gets lowered they are not going to print more of it thus risking hyperinflation.

As complex as people try and make out economics it all comes down to supply and demand. Any time there is an imbalance the prices of goods and services will reflect this.

5.2 I told you to stay on the porch. The big dogs around here run with actual facts, not cut and pasted opinions of others.

How many times will you ignore my advice?
