Treasury Department as a source? Can’t trust those commies. Ha.
…and there you have it.
But it was still their fault…somehow…through maybe, I don’t know, pagan mind control satanic gay islamo-feminist rituals?
pffft. numbers. What do they know?
I’d prefer to see hard numbers than percentages, but it’s telling nonetheless.
"Prominent Republicans are stepping up calls for President Obama to be impeached. Over what? They're not entirely sure, but the details can come later."
Shoot first, figure out the logistics later - sounds about par for the course.
Obama
I agree with about 65% of what he’s done so far. Not everything, but a solid majority. Oftentimes, I’ll have friends or family send me items of interest - usually knowing I’ll disagree with them - with some variation on “Is this the change you voted for?”
It’s meant to be a damning statement: “Your savior isn’t perfect. Your interests are no longer aligned. He’s abandoned you.” Each time, it does get me to stop and think: is this the change I voted for? Is this the leadership I thought I would get? Am I still happy with what’s going on in my country?
I don’t mind exploring this line of thinking, as I’ve never supported anyone absolutely. There are definitely things we disagree on: I don’t think we should gloss over the past, and “moving forward” is a nice byline, but let’s actually figure out whether national and international laws were broken and punish those who have broken them.
But yesterday I had a thought: if at the end of his four years all he has done was get the economy back on track, close Guantanamo, enact a comprehensive health-care overhaul that contains consumer costs and provides more coverage and oversight, and enacted Net Neutrality…well I’d consider that to be a huge victory.
That is the type of change I voted for. Each of those are long-term projects that will have lasting positive effects on the nation and the world as a whole. I’d put that Presidential term as a solid check-mark in the win column.
