@ moncon: >>> You guys won the election. That news is as old as USA’s retreaded comments <<<
I think retreaded is spelled r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d in the case of ussr 666. But, your heart is in the right place. lol
“The Dow delivered its ninth consecutive day of gains Wednesday–a rare feat for U.S. stocks.” Damn that Obama…lol.
This is the best streak since 1996.
Ouch!!! That’s gotta hurt!
I can’t pontificate properly because I am not a know-it-all.
I’m so smart because I use big works like pontificate. Although, I’m sure he heard pontificate on TV today.
>>> This is the best streak since 1996. <<< That was the soiled underpants streak, wasn't it?
Ratboy
We are definitely better off now that the Senate has proposed a budget. By presenting a budget they have now put down on paper their position which is something they would not do for 4 years. By presenting a budget which does not agree with the House, under regular order, they now have 2 options. They can either change their budget to agree with the House or they can go into conference with the House to iron out the differences. No matter the outcome at least the People will be able to see the position of each party and/or their individual representatives. To me that in itself is a positive.
Unfortunately, the President has taken a page out of the Senate Democrats playbook and has violated U.S. law by not proposing a budget. By law the President is required to present a budget before the first Monday of February which he has not. The White House has said that they will present their budget in April. A little late but since there is no penalty for violating this law they do not have a problem ignoring it. Maybe the President feels he can justify the delay and not present his budget first because he wants to “lead from behind”. This seems to be the same position that the Senate took in the 4 previous years. They feel they are above the law.
Pontificate: That’s what the voting members of the College of Cardinals did today, wasn’t it? LOL
@ Dennis- Hard to take isn’t it Dennis Ole boy………..and by the way….. All caps? really? ….that truly makes a difference doesn’t it?
Go Fox!
@Apple Stinx: >>> We qualify for the banjo player part, you qualify for Ned Beatty’s part. <<<
OK, ussr666: Squeal like a pig!
A Latin American Pope.
Wow, the times are really changing.
Well the Popeiness is off and running…
This just in: NY Supreme Court judge rejects gun lobby’s requested injunction against new gun control law, saying the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with it. Of course….so why does the right wing extremist La pierre not realize this? Because he is too busy putting blood money in his pockets….
I’m actually more surprised at the fact that the NRA and their wingnut members chose a French guy to represent them…lol.
Dreamer and Chriscee, it gets worse when it doesn’t get a reply. It will make 40 to 50 posts.
Right wingers–at the risk of repeating myself, where are the accomplishments of the right wing GOP???????
Being that this new Pope has a long record of fighting for the poor, it won’t be too long before the wingnuts on the right start calling him a socialist and a communist.
So Matthews gets beat by a million/2 in both time slots and Sharpie too at 6, Shultz gets beat by 2 million, and Hannity buries Maddow by Million/1!
nuff said!
Mike
You just don’t understand food stamps add to the GDP just ask Nancy P. So 25% of DC and one in six Americans on food stamps is BO’s way to grow the ecconomie. If more people would just stop looking for work we could get this pesky un employment rate down.
“The Dow delivered its ninth consecutive day of gains Wednesday–a rare feat for U.S. stocks
What how can this be ??? Its beem nine days since sequestrarion the doom and gloom hasnt happen teacher are still teaching, planes still in the air and the stock market up (QE is a powerfully drug). Only thing that happen is the mean old white house stop the little children from tours of the white house. Of course Obama say it was the Secret Service that stop the tours but Jay Carney say it was the white house. WOW that got to hurt when you can’t keep your lies straight. But three great american have offered to paid for the WH tours. Come on White house the children are our future start the tours again. Some liberal logic here Obama likes photo ops get a group of school children in front of white house holding signs asking Obama please open the white house to tours again.
Ralph Hahn, yes the cardinals did pontificate. That’s why I thought it was funny he used that word today. He had just heard it on TV.
A Pope helping the POOR. You’re joking…. And wait every leader in the Church speak of helping the poor.
Mark2 always seems to leave the important points out!
Pope Francis I Is No Fan Of Homosexuality, Ab0rtion, Contraception, And Same-Sex Adoption
Oh yea, and he fights for the poor too!
