Good Morning d.d. & Jeff and Everyone
Nanny Bloomberg must have woke up with another bug in his (Nose)
*NYC Mayor Bloomberg to Call for Ban on Styrofoam
*Eurozone lurches deeper into recession…
They are trying, but so far everything they have tried seems to do the reverse
@Dreamer
Why do people attack
Because they see their favorite anchor on their favorite network do the same to everyone else?
Gooood Morning!
Hey Coffee can you pour me a gallon of coffee and lend me a cup of gas???
@Ratboy
Hey Coffee can you pour me a gallon of coffee and lend me a cup of gas???
Yes Sir, But I’ll have to take a loan out for the gas
The left doesn’t want to talk about Mr. Rubio’s speech. It’s scare the heck out of them because its shows how his own personal experiences of self reliance , personal responsibility and hard work, that you can make it. That big government isn’t the answer and most of time makes the problem worst or creates new problems. So when some shows the left vision for america isn’t the answer they must be ridiculed as being crazy, stupid or racist. How is President Johnson war on poverty going ? That’s being on going almost 50 years now do the figures show were making any progress ?
All time low watch O.’s speech.
Enough said!
@Mickey O
Good Morning to you and Rats & Papa
How is President Johnson war on poverty going?
Its not going well, instead of a Missions trip to Nigeria again, we are thinking of maybe going to Detroit this year instead. A Missions leader was there last Fall and showed us some videos and pictures of the area.
You would have thought it was a Third World country, amny living without electricity, food or running water. It was horrible and right in our own backyard.
@Ratboy
School is about to start here, I may get you to start a Business course and you could be Professor Rats
BBL….
This is scary. The car needed gas yesterday. I had squeezed the pump handle for only a couple of seconds when I noticed that the total had already reached $12.
@ Coffee Steve I sure you could do better job for less money then the federal, state and locals goverments have done
Fox News was the most watched cable news channel during the address, before and after.

@AppleStinx

I honestly don’t think anyone in Washington from the President down to the lowest elected official has a clue how bad these prices are effecting the average family. To Them in Washington, a 100 dollars in the gas tank is nothing more than a tip after a meal.
They don’t have clue that people are doing without food, meds, vacations, spending money elsewhere, shooping, almost everything just to fill the tank and get to work.

Hopefully the “experts” will now go and try lecture CNN on ratings because CNN’s own press release showed that FNC was the most watched.

My son has a 50 min drive to the restaurant he is managing. He uses a lot of gas so the price is important. But here is what him right in the…..um…..ah…. wallet (he said it hit him in a different spot
) the 30 bucks a check less from his chec and the 18 bucks a check less from his wifes chec due to the raise in taxes took almost a full tank of gas away from him!!!!!!

But did Stewart and Colbert bet em??????
I read how some post condescending and disparaging remarks while trying to make a point. Then I watched the way the analysts behaved after the SOTU on MSNBC then I realized where they get it from. Maybe they should watch how mature analysts behave and take notes. Matthews is an embarrassment.
Schools should have a mandatory class on personal responsibility. How to balance a checkbook, go on a job interview, live on a budget, how to use credit. My daughter went to a career tech school for nursing and before you could enter you had to write an essay and go in for an interview, including dressing appropriately for it.
@Jeff, You do more attacking then anyone on this site. Remember how upset you got two weeks ago when I started to count the attacking? Liberals were leading 12 to 3.
Only the liberal media is talking about the water and sweating. They don’t want to focus on what he said because it isn’t BS.
I said Bushs’ numbers were low can’t you read?
@Mark2, Funny how you pick the lowest polling numbers. Because you don’t like Gallop doesn’t mean it’s the least trusted. Unlike you a pick a poll that many unbiased site use. It’s also a poll that the Libertarians use.
Unlike you, I have to work for a living and I don’t spend my days searching the internet for data that supports my beliefs.
If you are as smart as you claim on this site. Get a job and be a productive member of this country.
And did get into the “I’m a disabled vet”. First, 1 out of 4 liberals I meet on the internet claim to be disabled vet. I don’t believe you. Second, I volunteered at the VA Hospital from age 8 – 22 and then again 30 – 48. I was a member of the Junior girls and then the VFW Ladies Aux. I given a great deal of my time to help vets. Most disabled vets want to work not matter their disabled.
@Redbarsoup, you never answered about the ratings? You first used the word ratings, then you said you were talking only about the last rating? Which was it?
@ Cathy
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
LONG LIVE THE KING!!
Obama to Vacation in West Palm Beach
Taxpayers will be sending President Obama on his second vacation of the year when he departs Friday aboard Air Force One for a Presidents’ Day Weekend excursion to West Palm Beach, Florida.
Without apparent irony, Obama has decided to jet to a well-trod stomping ground of the rich just days after presenting himself to the nation in his State of the Union speech as the guardian of the middle class.
Obama presumably will head directly to some fabulous golf course, having not been able to play in recent weeks because of the cold weather in Washington.
While Obama may pay some hotel and other miscellaneous costs related to his vacation travel, taxpayers are on the hook for much of the expense, shelling out for the president’s travel aboard Air Force One, a cargo plane that carries supplies, and the cost of the president’s substantial staff and security retinue.
While unemployment stands at nearly eight percent, Obama is taking his second vacation of 2013. The year is only six weeks old.
Obama initially traveled to Hawaii in late December. He returned after a several days to work on a fiscal cliff deal, and then went back for several more days in early January after signing a bill. So this will also be the third time in less than two months that taxpayers have footed the bill for a round-trip Obama vacation.
It’s not clear if Michelle is going with him – the White House announcement of Obama’s plans doesn’t mention her. She usually goes skiing in the Rockies around this point in the year.
