I think we are on Twitter

We just ain't done nuttin with it! LOL

Come to think of it... he kinda looks like Skulls and Crossbones.

Does anyone know if Obama is a member of the skull and crossbones, or whatever it's called?

you are right-Obama didn't cause this recession--this has been building for many years--it started with the Federal Reserve Act in 1913--check it out and see who the real owners are--politicians now are put in place to make us think we have freedom of choice--you don't--we have owners and they own you and me-they own and control corporations-have paid for the Senate, Congress, the State Houses, City Hall and have the Judges in their back pocket and then the most important--the Media--they control all the news and information you get to hear----------they spend Billions lobbying to get what they want!!!!!!! WE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT-MORE FOR THEMSELVES AND LESS FOR US-----they don't want a population capable of critical thinking----so jump up and down believing in Obama if you want--------the table is tilted--the game is rigged--nobody seems to notice--nobody seems to care!!! not when you have a cell phone that makes pancakes and scratches your ba**s

Let me say this, the PEOPLE voted. Crying over spilt milk isn't going to change anything. The fact that Obama won in a convincing manner AND him being the first African American president tells me something. Obama didn't create this recession we are in. You can thank the Repub's for that. 10 million in Iraq for a country who A) doesn't want us there and B) is ruining a generation in our own country speaks volumes about the prior regime.
The country has spoken. Unfortunately, you didn't get you wish, but that's how it goes. It's democracy. You can't just be a supporter of it when "your guy or party" wins. Again, the people have spoken and it is what it is. I was TOTALLY against Clinton being elected, but he did win and I had to move on. He was the President whether I liked it or not. I think you need to get over the "sour grapes" and try doing the best YOU can to get this country back on it's feet.

This read is a bunch of bull crap. 1st of all to this comment:

"The fact he is also very knowledgeable about the Moslium faith, Being raised with a Moslium parent maybe good for this country and our foreign affairs as long as the country comes first and religion remains second. We all end up praying to the same God in the end".

He was raised by his grandparents with no interactions with his father and furthermore just cuz his father is a native from Africa that don't necessarily mean he is a muslim. Most of the rhetoric you leading people to believe hilarious, I mean where did you get your research from or is this all stuff you assume to be true.

All of his speeches were beautiful. It's a shame for you to nick pick on his speech and didn't receive the message he was trying to share. I have one question for you. Why you didn't nick pick when Bush was on vacation while the people of New Orleans was begging for help?

Snook Assisan is on the right track here. Looking at the big picture may suck but the series of events that has led us down this path is revelant. I for one believe Barrack will do very little to to improve anyone's quality of life here in America but at least he is trying. In order to do so we will have to make demands on all our elected goverment officials to actually work for the majority and stop making deals at our sacrifice. As stated the plundering of the real estate and banking markets by Freddie and Fanny was initiated by the government that took the loans away from the local banks and investors and then turned a blind eye allowing the oligarchy to continue. The politicians are being controlled by the wealthy. Black or White is not an issue here as far as who we elect. If B.O. will put some teeth into government and work for us all the better but surely he cannot do it alone. Our government must regulate and jail those responsible. The Auto industry must stand by itself on its own merits. I can see the the effort it trying to save our major industries but again the government has been responsible in the first place by allowing the shift to low quality goods , removing tarrifs allowing cheaper products from China and Taiwan, and Thailand among others. This allows for higher profit margins to the few. What happens is before long their quality improves and we are left out. They have allowed our historic corporations to move shop from the U.S. penalty free. For example try to buy an Old Timer, or Buck knife made in the U.S.A. They have done the same to our steel industry which has slightly recovered by quality alone. The finicially elite are pushing in the direction they want ( A world order in which they can control )with the compliance of our wealthy government officials.

"We are one nation comprised of one type of people, Americans"

and on that, you fail.....as if we all live the same life and upbringing

terrible on all levels

unprotected borders--ask yourself with the war on terror how this makes sense?--North Korea has nuclear weapons but has no resources or oil---Iran does--Iraq does-Afghanistan does----why aren't we upset with North Korea? you figure it out--the war on terror is bullsh##t--

most people chosen are CFR members,New World Order Globalists, or belong to the Trilateral Commission-- read about these groups so you can understand what is taking place---be informed--the government is going to be so powerful soon--look up you tube and put in Obama's Unconstitutional Agenda-first one 8 minutes and 36 seconds--

Hey ... wassup with Obama picking folks that can't pay their taxes?

Hey snook I want to keep it current events. LOL
Looking at the big picture sucks.

NAFTA
Northern North America - Financial markets
Central North America - Food and Product Distribution
Southern North America - Industrial Manufacturing.

Get ready to move accordingly. Train your children now to avoid looking for work in the wrong regions.

For those who doubt this need to do some reading on the NAFTA super highway plans. Right now this is how it looking.

Very good read Kev. Agree on all points made. A+!

see--stay distracted--the big issue is the contol grab of the global elite---open your mind and realize they do exist--go to you tube and listen to john f. kennedy and the speech that got him killed---he explains about secret oaths and alliances---------------------there are bigger issues like the north american union and the Amero--Obama is the messenger of bad news-they know the dollar will tank---nothing happens by accident--do you think they just came up with these ideas over-night-wake-------up

The only way our government stays capapable of padding their pockets and ruining health care etc. Is by kepping African Americans and "Catholic Euro Americans" divided.Until we get over ourselves and become one nation under God we will not be able to fix anything.

Hagan----I believe there are way too many distractions for people to see the truth--people blame the democrats, people blame the republicans--the truth is the government created this mess with the loans of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae--loans went out to everyone and their momma--the market was trying to correct itself when big brother stepped in. sure there was going to be some hard times but this nation would have recovered-now isn't it amazing that the one's that created this mess are telling us they know what to do--this is all about control--it has always been since the earliest of times--blaming the democrats over this is justified but I believe both parties are playing ball for the same team but most people can't see it--this collapse was done on purpose--the world will go down with the USA because our tentacles are everywhere-so if America struggles so will the rest of the world--here's a theory--a push for a one world order is under way--countries will be forced into this because they will realize they have no choice--when we create a debt of no return so will we---change is on the way--we don't know how it will play out but to deny it is ignorance--watch Kissinger on you tube about the New World Order--he said"this is a great opportunity for a new world order"---this is a crisis and this scumbag is all smiles----leaders from around the world are all in on it---the one's that aren't will be dealt with

I detest bigotry, and tire of people using race for leverage of any kind. With Obama in office, when someone tries to say how their race is held down, I can point toward Washington DC and say: The President begs to differ, now put away the race card.

LMAO

Sapper I apologize. Re-reading your opening post, I feel like I've hijacked your thread here. I meant well.

I did a good deal of reading here before I started posting, and looked at some old threads, and so in my first post, expressed that I definitely feel I missed out on your friend JoeSam. Even more considering his home was listed at Crystal Beach... which tells me much, I dont know how to express it, you'd just have to hang w/ the people there.... Reading his writings, I cant help but feel like I know him.

I'm certainly enjoying the site. Its good talking & reading about the Saints, and not having politics shoved down my throat. The discussion is lively, but unlike the last place I posted, everyone here seems to be taking their meds as scheduled, and not spitting pea soup.

Already some folks here have showed up at my favorite sports bar here in Houston and joined the real-life Saints party--- which shows you the positive power here. This is much more about supporting the team and each other, and less about playing Dungeons & Dragons & spewing out the nonsense that chokes most of the internet.

One suggestion: I'd like to see a [B]Louisiana/ Gulf Coast sub-forum[/B] where you can discuss topics or share information relatable to folks who either live in or visit the region. You could talk about anything from what to see in New Orleans/Gulf Coast, to crawfish boiling, things happening in the state, concerts? festivals? hurricane info? history? small town stories? fishing? oil industry stuff? Mardi Gras? Whatever we're interested in.

I know I'm always looking for the best hole in the wall bars/restaurants, bed & breakfasts in the middle of nowhere, and [B]secret escape routes[/B] out of N.O. after Saints games.
