After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, Now You Get Mad?
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 800 billion dollars (and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn’t get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn’t get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans. You didn't get mad when Bush said he wasn't concerned about Bin Laden, just a few months after 9-11.
You didn’t get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the filthy rich, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.
You didn’t get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades.
You didn’t get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens died over an 8-year period because they had no health insurance.
You didn’t get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the Bush Administration caused US Citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in investments, retirement, and home values.
You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick...oh hell no.

Just turn on the TV or Radio. Not that hard.
Or maybe that was a Tv show...
What was it Chuck? Alias? There is two new ones, makes that intelligence stuff seem so cool and noble.
Although many movies come from the perspective of what doctrine you think on.
Like ID4, breaking the code, using our satellites against us, bring down their shields, biggest air battle in the history of the world.
Give it a virus. Skull and bones on virus, using Morse code, tentacles, mirror eyes.
Did anyone ever notice, that the character that was made fun of. He said he was captured by aliens 10 years ago. and then after the aliens arrive. Guess what, people still make fun of him for having said that. Does that make any sense at all?

3. It Is About Race. It Really Is. |

The stuff you listed are my points too. If this whole teabagging movement really is about fiscal responsibility, then WHERE THE HELL WERE THE TEABAGGERS when G. W. (Glorious Wonderboy) Bush was f*cking up the U.S. economy and turned a surplus into a deficit by declaring a needless war, etc.?

In case you missed the last election... |

Yeah, people were fed up with Bush. It wasn't even close. And they voted for Obama. They knew he was black.
People are damn angry about the bailouts and deficits. I've got a bachelors degree in business and three years of economics and I can recognize bad financial management when I see it.
It sure as hell isn't Obama's fault, but I think people were hoping for Samuel Jackson.
