#1 Do we have access to some bottomless pit of money that I don't know about? Even tax dollars and T-bills have a limit.

#2 That statement is no longer operative.

-- Ron Zeigler, press secretary, Nixon administration.

I expect we will be seeing a lot more of this as reality slowly sets in.

#4 Every disaster is a new opportunity. I see the Left working with the Right over what O wants to deliver and what he cannot deliver. We will both be pi$$ed. Common ground.

#6 Nonsense....! If you are TRUE believer in Change you will give him at least two terms, then rescend the antiquated Twenty-Second Amendment to that old constitution thing. There is no reason The One's tenure shouldn't be on a par with Supreme Court Justices. Come on, get with the Change program.

#7 You mean 52.5% of us got duped? You mean there's no lemon law wrt President Elects? One more reason why libz are morons. It's hilarious how these idiots bought off on all the crap the street agitator sold them.

#9 The Dems can make it happen with 435 votes in the House and 100 in the Senate; slam dunk. Duh.

#11 Specifically, the site no longer promised to fully fund debt cancellation for the worlds poorest countries or provide the full U.S. contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

The former has already been agreed to, and the latter are the usual United Nations slush funds for buying 5 course lunches at 6 star hotels for nepotistic appointees of 2 bit 3rd world dictators.

#12 They weren't duped. They've got CHANGE.

But the only thing they'll wind up with is spare change.
