That might fly in Congress where Dems don't read legislation, or pass legislation so they can find out what's in it, but not here.

Life does suck in the GOP base. You're undereducated and resentful and bombarded 24/7 with one-sided propaganda blaming your lack of success/achievement on the darkie in the White House. Too feckin' bad.

No fly? What, will I get banned or something if I don't read your highly-intellectual article?

I read the article. It's a right wing slam Obama piece. Note the use of the term Democrat party at the beginning of the article. Most significant piece of information is that Obama has played more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods!
Wonder who paid him to write this piece which is a rehash of the US economy .

It is paid a further £750,000 a year for a similar arrangement with the Chinese state in relation to the pro-Beijing China Watch supplement.[19]"
And, "The Daily Telegraph has been politically conservative in modern times.[20] The personal links between the paper's editors and the leadership of the Conservative Party, along with the paper's generally right wing stance and influence over Conservative activists, have resulted in the paper commonly being referred to, especially in Private Eye, as the Torygraph".
A conservative in support of communism? Wonder who paid them to publish this article?

The point is that what you posted is propaganda. Propaganda is not proof.

Not exactly. The GOP base for the most part isn't going anywhere. We're supposed to sacrifice for the already-in-the-.1% folks.

Whell, I urge you to read this and then comment on Obama's subsequent failures. Hint: 2010 midterm elections.

Would you talk with this group or go golfing?

I'd hate to ruin a good walk. Can I go to the dentist instead?
