I am surprised he lets the horse out by herself.

BLT, the fusion of racism and Marxism.

If Bush were president and reacted this way the Dems would run vicious ads saying he was out of touch. Same with any Republican president. Will the GOP have the nerve to make ads about this and run them during the fall campaign? Would it be a winning issue? I think it could energize the base even more and make some independents turn our way.

Does this marxist/racist, nobama, ever spend any time with his wierd family?

[Tarpon]

Everything Obama is doing is having the effect of growing the resistance. That's one of the big problems with blind ideology.

Obama-Speak ... the fusion of sophistry and Newspeak

[funfan]

That is what I was wondering especially his children

There are a hundred things the GOP could go after if they only had a brain, and a pair.

So.... are we surprised by that?
Zero and his trophy wife have no clue how they appear to America and the rest of the world.
But don’t get me started.

I believe TN was a Red State, correct? But I’m just sayin’...

One thing's for certain — the ONLY reason he went to Wet Virginia was to pimp his own mine regulation plan.

He really is making it easy for a deft advertising type to clip some stuff together - a la "fiddling (golfing) while Rome burns".

[meyer]

Exactly what we’ve come to expect from this worthless communist POS of a President.

He has absolutely no trouble robbing the productive taxpayers of their hard-earned income, only to use it to buy the votes of the lowlife deadbeats that make up the base of his party. Since those deadbeats don’t generally reside in Tennessee, he won’t even consider paying out of the drained federal coffers to make people whole.

[screaminsunshine]

GOP they lay low cowering in fear of the Big Government Media.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

He said he wasn’t going to rest until he got the jobs back ... so what’s this?

[klb99]

TN went red in 2008 - there’s your answer!!!!
