The recession is starving the government of tax revenue, just as the president and Congress are piling a major expansion of health care and other programs on the nation's plate and struggling to find money to pay the tab.

The numbers could hardly be more stark: Tax receipts are on pace to drop 18 percent this year, the biggest single-year decline since the Great Depression, while the federal deficit balloons to a record $1.8 trillion.

Other figures in an Associated Press analysis underscore the recession's impact: Individual income tax receipts are down 22 percent from a year ago. Corporate income taxes are down 57 percent. Social Security tax receipts could drop for only the second time since 1940, and Medicare taxes are on pace to drop for only the third time ever.

But Obama keeps up record spending.

Pharoah does love to spend. Don't worry Trans Lady he can print more money

After 6 Months, More View Obama's Presidency as a 'Failure' Than Bush's

A rather surprising finding from the newly released CNN poll. Question three on the national survey of 1,136 adults (which includes an oversample of African-Americans) asks, "Do you consider the first six months of the Obama administration to be a success or a failure?"

Thirty-seven percent (37%) said they believe the Obama administration is a "failure," while 51% consider it a "success" and 11% say it's still "too soon to tell."

An identical question was asked of the Bush administration in an August 2001 CNN/Gallup/USA Today survey. At the time, 56% said the Bush administration was a "success" while only 32% considered it a "failure."

Grandma,
You should quit trying to spew these facts. You know that doesn't matter, it is only opinion that matters. Oh, this actually has both. HMMMMM, how will the twinky-twins respond to this one.

Sitting back and waiting for the twinkie's to spin this.

Remember those "opinion" polls about Bush?

LMAO

When bush took over, he didn't have much going on yet. It didn't give him enough time to fawk things up so he went on a months vacation.

Think he took a walk on the Appalachian Trail......

THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM



ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION



From a teacher in the Nashville area:
"We are worried about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream". The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year.

The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.


The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother.



The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now is was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream."



She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.



Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone --- that they have not first taken away from someone else.

I want to ask an honest question, Was Bin Laden available for Clinton to take custody of. I have heared (Dont know for a fact that is why I am asking) That another country had him captive or in custody and offerd him to the US. Not trying to be a smartass just would like to know the whole story from either party representative Boz or Bob H do either of you know about this or is it just one of those things you hear?

Obama Joker artist unmasked: A fellow Chicagoan

When cryptic posters portraying President Obama as the Joker from "Batman" began popping up around Los Angeles and other cities, the question many asked was, Who is behind the image?

Was it an ultra-conservative grassroots group or a disgruntled street artist going against the grain?

Nope, it turns out, just a 20-year-old college student from Chicago.

Bored during his winter school break, Firas Alkhateeb, a senior history major at the University of Illinois, crafted the picture of Obama with the recognizable clown makeup using Adobe's Photoshop software.


Alkhateeb says he wasn't actively trying to cover his tracks, but he did want to lay low. He initially had concerns about ...

... connecting his name with anything critical of the president -- especially living in Chicago, where people are "very, very liberal," he said.

"After Obama was elected, you had all of these people who basically saw him as the second coming of Christ," Alkhateeb said. "From my perspective, there wasn't much substance to him."

"I abstained from voting in November," he wrote in an e-mail. "Living in Illinois, my vote means close to nothing as there was no chance Obama would not win the state." If he had to choose a politician to support, Alkhateeb said, it would be Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

He wanted facts, not from a "book" that was written by an author to make money for profits.
LMAO

Not true at all.
He was not held in custody for Clinton.

Maybe boz can provide another book from another foreign author in his fact finding mission.
LMAOROTF......

Must have been a great story that someone made up right. Dive into the research of it and the people involved. Come on Bob, a little research might actually do you some good for once.

My comment was in reference comparing the two in their first 6 months as President.

Do you actually know what part of bush's Presidency was when 9/11 happened?

The first 7 minutes after bush was told of the attacks, he did nothing but sit on his ass dumbfounded and unable to speak to anyone.

Where's Carl Rove when you need him??????

The liberial knows, he was at the white house and saw it!
