...Call it campaign rhetoric or call it out and out lies, but the broken promise that earmarks would be eliminated is not just "last year's business" it's evidence that the only change Obama intends to give us is pocket change, and darn little of that....

I ask again, do you know what state Lincoln was born in?

You obviously haven't followed all of the links available.

Why, instead, don't you prove that no Hawaiian official has ever said that bambam was born in Hawaii?

Jim,

Why not just prove it since you have stated it? Are you taking a page out of the Obama plan? I asked you to provide the quote and cite the source of the hawaiian official who stated Obama was born in Hawaii, a pretty simple request if you ask me.

I am only asking you to back up what you posted, nothing more. If you feel that backing up your statements isn't worth your time, just say so.

You might want to check this out while you are at it.

His instinct was to not add more regulation or impediments to business and to make minor suggestions at lowering taxes but he didn't really provide leadership in terms of really reducing spending. The Democrats took control of congress and Bush was not going to spend his dwindling political capital to oppose the Dems spending spree when he had a war to try and win before his time was going to run out and someone without the will to win it was going to inevitably take his place.

There is absolutely no doubt that the economic meltdown has accelerated dramatically since Obama won the election, and especially it has nose-dived since the inauguration. If you can't see that they you are completely blind to reality. But it all started with 9/11, and this country has been on a slow, steady economic decline ever since. It was not just 9/11 that caused it, but that was a definite point of inflection. Eventually the lug nuts got loose enough that the wheels started to fall off, and that's where we are now. Unfortunately for Obama, the wheels were still on, barely, in November 2008. It wouldn't matter if Ronald Reagan were to have time traveled from 1982 to 2008 and run against Obama to victory, whoever was to become the president under these economic conditions was destined to preside over an economic collapse. The Democrats are going to pay the price for this victory.

Kind of like I said before. Sometimes when you win, you really lose. In this case, the Dems may have won the election, but what they have really done is volunteered to take the heat when the economy finishes imploding on their watch. Nobody can fix this now. It's a setup for failure. Couldn't happen to a cleaner, more articulate President.
