As much as I liked Clinton during his two terms, I look back and realize that a lot of the financial good times during that era were just bubbles. And bubbles eventually turn into pyramids, where the bottom can no longer keep things afloat. That goes for the dot.com era, the real estate market, and of course, Wall Street.

In the end, someone ends up paying for someone else's good times.

First I love the way you gave your BOG warning!!! Priceless!

Then from the article!

First, it is noteworthy that most people living in foreign nations are more informed and educated about America, its government, economy, and myriad social diseases driving the preponderance of stupidity that produced the irrational results of the midterm elections. For example, where over 47% of Americans cannot name the three branches of government, people across the world can name the three branches and cite each party’s leaders in both houses of Congress. They also have a firm grasp on the tenets of the U.S. Constitution and understand Republicans and the religious right are on a crusade to restrict other American’s 14th Amendment equal rights with a high degree of success due to the Republican Supreme Court. Most Americans could not possibly name even one feature of the 14th Amendment if their lives depended on it.

Love the pic~

Cha Steve and I have that covered.



We are of the Universe~ We host the Alien group as well. We vow to keep out malicious intruders.

The GOP~Not just flustered but enraged.



The GOP~Their hair is on fire!



Obama~ Cool as ever!

I know it's just a lot of frustration from a lot of things being blown out by a trigger, but I can't help giggling.

This is how he reacts to being stuck on his parents' health policy for another few years. Poor boy!

(my cranky old computer suddenly decided to play videos once in a blue moon)

not the relevant point.

More pictures please (1/2 of them of cats).

Please Mr President. Just a little bit of Marcellus Wallace or Jules. Ask Boner or Senator Touche Turtle to say "What again" It's past time for the angry black man. This president is so cool and unflappable, this is what pisses them off the most.

Republicans think they are going to run over President Obama in the next two years. All I can say to that is, they never learn.

people from outside the U.S. have an easier time recognizing this President's strengths than the wingnuts do. They probably look at all Americans like we're lunatics for sitting out elections and continuing to have people in power who want to do nothing but block him.

I can resist looking at all those beautiful pictures and the respect that other countries have for him, even if America has little of it to show.
