Follow the money. Dennis Selkoe, an empolyee of Brigham And Women's Hospital, was a major contributor to Obama and numerous other liberal organizations. This is called ROI in the business world, business as usual in Chicago style politics.

Dennis Selkoe - $27,445 in Political Contributions for 2012

This really is a two-fer. Obama gets to pay back a financial backer with taxpayers dollars and appease the lesbian movement at the same time.

I'd love to throw rocks at Barry for this - so I guess I'll throw some. But this is nothing new. Politics as usual and both sides (or is that all sides) are guilty as charged. It really does hack me off. Still, Barry is no more guilty than anyone else. Okay, maybe he's a little more guilty, but you get my point. LOL

My point is as it always has been.


Obama voters voted for:




However, they spend all day using "he did it to" as an excuse for the lack of change.

This is true, which is why in this case I blame stupid people for voting for this crap more than the idiot they voted for.

TWICE!

I bet their line is the first 4 years was change, the next 4 are changing the change.

Ending up where we started .

My liberal friend at work has accepted the spin. I asked him recently if he was disappointed. He asked why. I said, "well, because, you know, I can sorta understand voting for him the first time, with all that talk about transparency and changing Washington and so on..."

I went on to elaborate about the fact that by virtually any measure he has turned out to be 'just another politician'. My liberal friend's response was to praise Obama for "Learning how to play the game."

Seriously.

Re: No tours at the White House But....

Here is my take...

1. Change was a lie just to get elected.

2. He thought he could make changes... Showing just how ignorant to the reality he was.

Either way... Not what i want in the White House.

Exactly... it was a ruse to get into office... he duped and scammed enough people to get in. Now it's like a kid in a candy store... he can't get and take enough. Karma will be a beotch.

You didn't read the memo? Obama through Executive Action turned off karma. If it is reinstated, the deficit is too large to support it.


It seems liberals do not believe karma can exist on the same blame plain as Bush.
