Can someone post this picture? Several years ago during the height of the Iraq war some people on here posted a picture of two troops carrying a painting Saddam Hussein smoking a cigar in front of the burning trade center. I would like to have this picture. Sorry for the vanity

On Jan. 21, Gallup began tracking daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president.

So Glenn Beck on Fox News recently (September 29, 2009) showed a graphic murder. This is the sort of thing that would get a video pulled from youtube almost immediately, but for some reason Fox deemed it important enough to put on the Glenn Beck show. Now I've seen the ugly side of mankind. But to be honest this is something that one has to mentally prepare for. It should not be the sort of thing that should get pushed in your face. I mean the only warning Beck gives is to tell 'children to leave the room' before showing...

I did a search for this and didn't find it posted anywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrpSxpGzdH8&feature=sub

The lyrics in this song are brilliant. Give the video about 1 minute to sift through the cheesy cover art show, the lyrics play with the song.

I keep hearing this mantra from the Left that Reagan raised payroll taxes on the working class, I can't find any information on this other than left wing BS. I do know that some taxes were raised during Reagan in an effort to cut spending by Congress. I was curious if anyone out there knew what the Left may be citing?

Dear MoveOn member, Why is CNN promoting right-wing paranoid conspiracy theories about President Obama's birth certificate? The fringe ideas of the so-called "birthers" have been thoroughly debunked.1 But CNN host Lou Dobbs perpetuates these myths by constantly talking about them on his shows and asserting that Obama still needs to "produce a birth certificate." This is not responsible journalism. Our friends at Media Matters have launched a campaign calling on CNN to address its Lou Dobbs problem—but a lot of us are going to have to speak out in order to get CNN's attention. Clicking here will add your name...

By Edwin Chen July 11 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama said his $787 billion stimulus bill “has worked as intended” as he pushed back against Republican criticism that his recovery program has failed to rescue the economy. “It has already extended unemployment insurance and health insurance to those who have lost their jobs in this recession,” Obama, who is traveling today in Ghana, said in his weekly Saturday radio and Web address. “It has delivered $43 billion in tax relief to American working families and business.” Were it not for the stimulus program, the president said, “state deficits would be...

This was posted earlier by someone who was obviously a hack and trying to create the image that a "birther" was owned in a debate. I think it's worth listening to because the pro-Obama side never really makes much of a case. He's nothing more than a bully, and it's clear as day.

NBC news called out the fact that Obama admin said unemployment would pass 8% and that there was no need for another stimulus. They did all have the look of severe constipation on their faces while reporting.

Could anyone out there that's FAST with photo shop create a photo of a fetus in a taxicab with a turbin? I want to use it against someone on another forum. Thanks.

I know GM is an easy target these days, but .75 cents a share? Would it be unwise to invest 500 dollars?

I'm starting to notice a few liberals calling in on talk radio saying, "I don't agree with Perez" etc. It seems like there's been such a backlash against the Left and they're trying to remain "tolerant". However, take a view on youtube and see for yourself how intolerant these people are.

Does this article contradict itself? If you read down the article you will find this excerpt below: ""Both the 2001 recession and the 1991-92 recession lasted eight months. The last expansion, from November 2001 to December 2007, lasted six years and one month. The longest expansion in U.S. history was the 10 years of uninterrupted growth from March 1991 till March 2001."" Question: how can you have a recession from 1991 to 1992 and then have economic expansion in the next breath from 1991 to 2001??

It's funny listening to David Axelrod lower expectations of the new incoming administration with all this talk of inheriting problems. Of course if you look back at the promises that were made, we were told that Obama would just fix them for us. Oh how things have changed since November of 2000. Obviously there's a financial crisis, nobody is denying this. There was also a recession underway during 2000, that was warned about by the Bush administration (or "Booosh administration" as John Mellencamp says). Yes, those are the same warnings that were being criticized as:"Talking down the economy". Today, we...
