(General Chit-Chat (non-political talk))

Hogwash!!!!!!!!! It appears to me that you believe that you will come face to face with Jesus. I presume you mean at the final hour....how about now. You in your religious belief will never have an open mind to anything but your obsession to Jesus. Religions seem to be closed to reality in their daily discourse. Religious and ethnic wars and conflicts have had a continuous flow of violence since man discovered his being looking in the water to drink. Most every God known has required 'bloodletting' as a sacrifice, Jesus being the last known. Most recent 'midterm' e******ns reveal that Christians side with the Republicans because of Pro-Life giving to the birth and then proceed to take away food stamps, deny jobs, cut more necessary entitlements.....all for the RICH. Is that what Jesus would do? HOGWASH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open mind

Is there any issue that we come across in our daily discourse that we could truly address with an open unbiased mind?

The present Congress under who's control? Now it will be under republican control after the major screw up of democrats and if you think it's hard for Obama now, just wait.

They can't make it any harder for Pres. Obama than they have in the past, however, what they will accomplish is to make it harder for the country to move forward (that is a disgrace) which they have consistently ignored by trying to secure that the Pres. gets the blame.

I am still looking forward for a response from Carolyn about the Congress raising the debt ceiling 7 times.

If I recall correctly we had a government shutdown to raise the debt ceiling just once.

And she also suggests that we want to tax the country into oblivion....,not at all, however, we do want to have the rich to pay their fair share....they are paying the lowest tax in history and history has shown we had much better economic conditions when their taxes were higher.

You can spin these numbers anyway your heart contends but at the end of the day we still owe 17+ trillion.
Don't care who tracked up what, we owe!

The present Congress under Republican control and because of the hatred for Pres. Obama has made sure that very little increase in revenue goes into the coffers, leaving a shortage of money to address the debt.

President George W. Bush and Republicans in Congress (with help from Democrats) enacted an ambitious tax cut package in June. And by the end of July the Treasury Department was mailing out tax rebate checks. On Aug. 1, 2001, Treasury officials announced they would be borrowing $51 billion to pay bills.

The total outstanding public debt on on July 31, 2001 was about $5.7 trillion. The total outstanding debt today more than $17.2 Trillion.

One can only imagine if Pres. Obama had a working Congress to supply a jobs bill that would produced more revenue to help pay the bills how much different the numbers would be.

The difference is $11.5 Trillion and now all we need do is figure out who each raised it by that amount together.

Pres. Bush borrowed $1,370,000,000,000 (thats trillion) from Soc. Sec. during his 8 year tenure. www.fedsmith.com/articlle 2328/nomoney.socialsecurity.trustfund.html

In spite of the TEA numbers they have been able to wag John Boehner's tail evidenced by not bringing v**es to the floor afraid that they would pass.

I have been to that web site and one has to read all of it not just the parts that one resonates with.

The deficit has been cut in half because during this administration there was less spent than came in..

Can you smell the shut down, you know Obama wants more spending money.

First let me educate you about who authorizes the spending of the money....it is Congress, the President can't spend a dime..

Next is that the present "house" which does authorize the spending being lead by the Tea party wants to default on the debt to bring down the government to the point that it can be put in the bathtub and washed down the drain.

And finally, to those Reps' in denial is that the DEFICIT has been cut in half during this administration and that is a FACT..

That is very thoughtful of you, however, I was looking for a response that didn't produce an imbecilic answer.

You must have a load of those words of wisdom.

It is however what one can expect when they are too dim witted to answer with an intelligent response, because they aren't smart enough to know..

Is Obama the worst President ever?

There was this women that called up where her husband was at a party. A guy answered. the woman said can you reach John. the guy said: "Oh Yes John is here". She said: "I know he's there but can you reach him" You Rep's./con's. will never be reached because in your screwed up world you are never wrong about anything. Bye Bye Baby. When the wind comes along don't get caught with your pants down. I'm outa here.
