Just Passing the Time

You know the morons who spend all their time claiming President Obama wasn't born in the United States, and all the media morons who lend some credence to the claim by bring it up? You do. Good.

Well the reason they bring it up, and continue to make it an issue in the face of the evidence which refutes their claim, is because they really have nothing else to beat on him with. Sure there's the economy, but that wasn't his. And the wars, but those weren't his. And there's health care, etc., but that's just absurd. Most everything else is really just inherited issues. It's hard to REALLY kill him for policy issues (unless you're someone who voted for him) since you never agreed with anything he believed in from the start.

So the reason they go with the whole "birther" issue is because they are just passing the time, filling the air space, creating a negative campaign against him so if/when there is something really negative they can just turn into that. They need to keep the minions working in the anti-Obama realm because of those who actually push this shit have nothing to go with they will lose support for their retarded causes.

Yep.

Americans Are All For It!!!!

Until you tell them what "it" is.

As President Obama and Congress brace to battle over how to reduce chronic annual budget deficits, Americans overwhelmingly say that in general they prefer cutting government spending to paying higher taxes, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Yet their preference for spending cuts, even in programs that benefit them, dissolves when they are presented with specific options related to Medicare and Social Security, the programs that directly touch the most people and also are the biggest drivers of the government’s projected long-term debt.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans choose higher payroll taxes for Medicare and Social Security over reduced benefits in either program. And asked to choose among cuts to Medicare, Social Security or the nation’s third-largest spending program — the military — a majority by a large margin said cut the Pentagon.

By the way...we're dumb.
