Bernanke did well today when he spoke, Obama sounds like he is still on the campaign trail. I am feeling a bit sick.
EDIT - Pelosi is just laughing at Barry on the inside.
EDIT 2 - "Not a single dime, I repeat, not one dime."
"Read my lips: No new taxes."
I am going to turn this off, buy some more gold bars and shotguns, and call it a night.
Its more the fact that he supports Creationism being taught in the classrooms that is the problem here for me. I used it as a mean way of saying he's a creationist.Quote:

He's also an exorcist.Quote:

I think he's both!
But I'm not!

And yet, in spite of what you view as his spiritual handicap, he has done more to turn around the effectiveness of Louisiana government than anyone who has come before him. That says a lot about his abilities as a leader.Quote:

You know what I see as a more pressing problem? The Secretary of State spent the weekend begging a communist country to buy more American debt. That's a big, big problem... much bigger that the personal beliefs of a governor-- personal beliefs that have not hindered in the least his ability to effectively govern.
But god did it! But that's believable because the dude in the sky did it.Quote:

Sorry but just because something else isn't proven doesn't mean you should teach something that can never be proven, intelligent design should never be mandatory in school. It is appalling that you have such a mindset that would allow that to even feasibly be acceptable. I have no problem with schools having classes on it, but to ever require it for anyone other than a theology major is horrid.
