Okay, so Obama won, let's all get behind him - agreed. But, how much is his little "victory lap around Southeast Asia" going to cost the taxpayers? We've all been told to "tighten our belts" but it seems he is unable to do the same. 'Course, it's not his money he's spending... He certainly does not lead by example. So much waste. Jean

And your right. If barry whats the rich to pay. Maybe ALL the freeloaders in DC should propose a wage cut and freeze. Then maybe people will be less reluctant about tax hikes.

hahahaha Billy, you are going to piss and moan about our politics until the next election aren't you. Have you killed or seriously maimed anyone during your own elections?
Mister Barry pulled a pen out of his pocket and said "I have a pen and I am ready to sign". He got no positive response.
The republicans were pissing and moaning because Obama should be in the White House working instead of out campaigning. Maybe that is why he won, because he was out campaigning like Romney.
The poo poo is not going stop and nobody is going to try to solve anything. Woo Hoo, You go America.

Peronsally - I dont mind swearing especially as sometimes its a great way of making a point - but in the interest of the board (not to mention what proboards may think) please can we reign it in along with any public animosity? I used to throw the odd one in here and there, but thought it best to quit it. Political debate though - in this section - I have nothing against of course.

Read Jay Carney is leaving Obama's employment. Don't blame him. Constant lying must be very fatiguing. He must need to give his bullsh*t muscles a rest. Still think the country is in deep doody now and sure hope I'm wrong . I think much higher taxes are inevitable but I hope, in addition, Obama does something to try to curtail spending and balance out budget but I think he'll just tax more and spend more and then some. Still do not trust that he is a truthful guy...Mel

Bill, you reading the lies again? You'd think after their being 180 degrees wrong on Romney's win potential, you'd start looking at your sources as the BULLSHYTE they are, but clearly not. He's flying to Asia to dodge the fiscal cliff that only requires a vote from the House? Helen, my sources are every bit as valid as yours. The article you are whining about was from The New York Post, established on November 16, 1801, the nation's oldest continuously published daily newspaper. Just because their take is not the same as CNN does not make them lairs. You make it sound as though Obama could run the country by phoning it in. A real leader would be out there working to bring the country together, building consensus, healing a divided electorate. What part of this statement is a lie? Obama heads to Asia amid looming fear of 'Fiscal Cliff' WASHINGTON — President Obama yesterday announced he’s jetting off on a victory lap around Southeast Asia, despite a new government report warning the Jan. 1 fiscal cliff will plunge the US into a recession and drive the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent. Obama and Congress have just 52 days to reach a deal to avoid sailing off that precipice, when a devastating double whammy of tax hikes and budget cuts will rock the economy and hit just about every American. I suppose Obama just assumes that since he won, he does not have to play ball with the other side, or try to bring the country together. What do they need Obama for to vote on the fiscal cliff, when it's CONGRESS who passes the budget? Obama only HELPS them mediate, he's not the decider, THEY ARE. Obama has to do his JOB, he is HIRED to be US's Foreign Policy. He can't sit there in DC babysitting adults who have their own jobs to do. The BUDGET is a deal made within CONGRESS. The President's only usual involvement is to submit the budget (done a year ago), and tell them what he will VETO. He can tell them that by phone from anywhere. By now, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, let alone Congress, knows what he will Veto. Congress needs him to do what? Sit in the room watching them fight and sending the bad Congressmen to time out in the corner? You're joking?

Mark Are you chastising me for a phrase that does not have one swear word in it? Children do not have any idea what I was referring to. But you allow a$$, bullsh#t which is just below me. Several on here have used the WTF many times including MeL, the F bomb and many other things. There is not one child out there that has seen George Carlin unless they have been introduced to him by their parents. If the people on here know the words it is because they have watched George and laughed their a$$e$ off. On the same page there is a rag tabloid that has a story about strippers cutting a man's head off. Good one Rich. If you are not happy with that phrase it looks to me like this whole life section should be shut down since it is about the equivalent of the rag tabloid that is posted above. Have a nice evening. Jim

Just clicked on topics and there it was "Johny F'n Football today" at the top of the list. Looks like you have a lot of cleaning up to do Mark.

Mark was probably talking about me, Jim. Far as I can tell, I was the only one who's used the F-bomb (in a posted meme, which I removed:P).

Jim - "hahahaha Billy, you are going to piss and moan about our politics until the next election aren't you. Have you killed or seriously maimed anyone during your own elections? The republicans were pissing and moaning ......."
That is from your post above - I am not cleaning anything up - I dont want or have to - but can we reign it in a touch. Simple as that.
No - I wasnt "chastising" you. Until I read your question regarding whether I was chastising you - I hadnt even read any names next to any posts with swearing in - I made a general observation.
I am not sure which post of yours you refer to regarding "Are you chastising me for a phrase that does not have one swear word in it?" - but I suspect it cannot be the one I have quoted above.
Dont take it personally - I dont. Mark

Jim - "hahahaha Billy, you are going to pi$$ and moan about our politics until the next election aren't you. Have you killed or seriously maimed anyone during your own elections?[/u] Of course Jim, thousands with my bare hands. Why do you think the Conservatives won a majority last election. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) you need :help: You know Jim, you should do some research on the Canadian economy from the early 80's to present date. Then you just might understand what I'm talking about. Google the reform party. But you being a person who bleeds blue would never comprehend it.

Tha ting ith biwwy I don't give a poop about Canook politics. I do not need a pipeline across canada. And I can assure you that i do bleed red just like all the other humans on this planet. I take down my pants to poop just like every other human on the planet (well, except that girls don't poop) ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I also know, as everyone that is not nearly as intelligent as the scientists should know, carbon based fuels are going to kill off the majority of the people (if not all) on this planet including your children as well as mine. You are willing to take that chance? I am not. You seem to think that you are more intelligent than the scientists, I am not. You believe big oil and coal and I do not. And you are damn right about one thing, I need help. Help from people all over the world like you to just do a tiny bit of research and not be so blind. We can not keep spewing out 5.2 tons of co2 per person per year and survive. If nothing else just check a little bit for your children's sake. Go to TED and check out some of the documentaries. There is no reason for those people to lie because if they thought there was no problem they would research how to put the fish back in the ocean or something. I will even go so far as to beg you to check it out with an open mind although your children should be enough reason. Jim

SORRY MARK MY BAD, head down with lower lip touching my chin. You may have noticed before that occasionally I have a (I will name it "Jim" moment). What it amounts to is Jim (me) comes across a post that he totally misunderstands, does not do any research for what was the intended meaning, then goes of on a tirade that absolutely nobody can understand why. I am not going to sit here and say that it will never happen again. Hell, it may be happening right now. But I will try to keep my humor up (as long as nobody brings a monster into the conversation) and hope that everyone else will too. Well, that may be asking a little toooo much of Billy.
Billy, you need to accept the fact that Obama won, knuckle down and help make this country great again. Uh, uh, oops, wrong country, never mind. Jim
