...and there is no sign that Mr. Obama is any different from the past democrats that sat in the oval office. The only exception is that he has 100% compliance within his party and a majority in congress that will pass anything Mr. Obama supports.
How hypocritical is it that Mr. Obama continues to remind the general public of the deficit he inherited, but then spends so recklessly that the possibility of having a balanced budget anytime within his term is utterly impossible. How hypocritical is it that the libs called the recent spending bill that was passed a "stimulus package". How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy? What jobs will be created by increasing food stamp allowances? This is only one example of many within that spending bill, but I'll try to avoid making this post unneccisarily long. One of you left wingers need to help me understand what our President is attempting to do. The view from the cheap seats here in right field makes the picture look exactly like I thought it would look before the election took place; the liberal democrats want a socialist republic in place of our cherished capitalistic society. Let's continue to drain the rich to pay for the poor. Let's continue to increase taxes on large corporations that have been laying off employees at an enormous pace. Let's increase benefits to the unemployed instead of finding ways to provide jobs for them. I'm ranting a bit, but one thing is clear. Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me. JP, UGB, anybody, please help me feel better about the job he's doing. And someone explain to me how the fuck he has a 67% approval rating. They must have done the polling at a foreclosure seminar or a foodbank. |

at 10:12 AM, Wednesday August 12, 2015 EDT How about Angelika Merkel running for president? I know that not being born in the US she can't (strange law for a country consisting of former immigrants but it does have its reasons I guess), but what about the idea? She'll be busy running a 4th term in Germany though...

at 1:49 PM, Wednesday August 12, 2015 EDT dc, austin is GREAT.
Really good food, really good music, assuming you're affluent enough to enjoy those things. Things to do: go to Trudy's for brunch on sunday and gorge yourself on breakfast burritos, migas and cheap morning alcohol. Go to a greenbelt, up north there's walnut creek, down south its barton, but either way, great decision! Whatever you do, don't go to 6th street. Just don't. Try South Congress instead, and then eat at any restaurant there. Heck, order something out of a food truck. GORDOUGHS MAKES SANDWICHES OUT OF HUGE GLAZED DONUTS IN A FOOD TRUCK. ITS THE BEST. Anyways, back to the subject at hand: go blue team! |

at 3:31 PM, Wednesday August 12, 2015 EDT Trudy's had awesome Mexican Margaritas apparently they cut you off at two because they are so strong; I was driving so I didn't test it.
I'll have to try out South Congress. I also hit up a bunch of food trucks. Torchy's tacos was amazing. Also BBQ for the win. NYC has shitty BBQ. |

at 3:35 PM, Wednesday August 12, 2015 EDT @Cal Ripken - Honestly I would love to see an election between Trump and Sanders. I believe it would be a real ideological choice; instead of the typical election between two unpalatable candidates (in my opinion).
However I'm not sure what is going to happen when Biden or Warren throws their hat in the ring and Clinton inevitably (in my opinion) drops out. |

at 4:10 PM, Wednesday August 12, 2015 EDT You gotta love that Trump went toe-to-toe with FoxNews and got their head honcho, Roger Ailes to apologize and beg for peace. Ratings are a powerful weapon and he seems to be wielding it like a battle axe.
