It can go right next to their "Don't Re-Nig in 2012" bumper sticker if they were lucky enough to get one before the shitheads selling them, Stumpy's Stickers, account and email was suspended. Another one they need is " KKK - The Original Boys In Da Hood". Another fine Stumpys original.

I always liked the one where they imposed the image of Nathan Bedford Forrest? over the background of the Confederate Naval Ensign, with the inscription of "Fighting terrorism since 1861".

His record of absence was clear back in 2007, but too many failed to heed the warnings. Hopefully, even if he wins, the opposition will prevail in Congress.

I'm still waiting to hear all the great things that Obama has done. There is a reason he will not be running on his record.

Thanks for clearing that up

I'll give him credit for one thing.

He didn't give away the Panama Canal.

You hear it every day. Every time you see the economic indicators, the DOW, the NASDAQ, the drops in jobless claims, recovery and growth of the auto industry, things people have posted here demonstrating that the economy is improving----but you dismiss it all as a pack of lies because----you don't want to believe it. So, why should anyone waste their time trying to convince you?

I had a friend get fired---and had another job in a month. Another worked for a government contractor and got his 90 day layoff notice. He was never unemployed---not for a single day. Went right from the old job to the new one. (In the private sector, BTW.) These are just two examples, I have more.

Are things ideal? No. But anyone who still tries to claim we are not in recovery is having personal issues. Get over it.

A lot of pearl clutching going on there bhunter.

Obama bent over backwards to appease the right and work with them. He caved to Senate Republican demands on almost every bill that came up for a vote that got passed.

The ACA was almost 100% Republican proposals in the past including the mandate. Large parts of it were written by the Heritage Foundation. Hardly a liberal group of folks.

Many good things are already implemented, like the elimination of the "doughnut hole" which dropped seniors prescription costs by 50%. No more lifetime limits, denial or dropping of coverage for preexisting conditions, college age and young job seekers can stay on their parents policy to the age of 26, the cost to care ratio is now set at 80/20 for small insurers and 85/15 for large insurers. Before, it was more like 45/55 or 30/70. No cost wellness check ups, no cost cancer screenings, more low income children covered. The list goes on.

Now you can tell me what Republicans plan to replace ACA with once it is gutted. You know, "repeal and replace". What is the Republicans plan. Soaring healthcare prices are not going to magically fix themselves.

I already posted this but I am going to do it again.

+1. And you're not alone. I've had quite a few people surprise me with statements like this. People I was certain did not like him.

Things are improving here. Of course our unemployment rate only increased from 2.5% to 5.6%. Years go NW Arkansas was too poor to notice recessions. Now we are too rich to notice them.
