@Alphaape: when you confront liberal progressives with facts about their billionaires/millionaires (as you did) their silence is deafening. You see, in their minds, only conservative millionaire/billionaires are evil...

I'm curious as to what the liberal-never-worked-a-real-job posters will write if Herman Cain is elected President.... Lets see, Mr. Cain worked his way through college (he has a M.S. in Computer Science) and held high positions at major companies versus Mr. Had-a-free-ride-through-college and did some community organizing. Further, at least Mr. Cain has a plan to fix the economy while Mr. "free-ride" just wants to spend more money (we don't have) to create jobs. What jobs? Did you hear, we are even farming out construction jobs to China --- the new Oakland Bay bridge --Made in China!!!

Yeah, Obama created jobs alright -- like Solyndra; 1,200 jobs for $500 million -- that's $400,000 per job -- what a deal.

Headline should read "Women with no common sense pays with her life" As unfortunate a reality as it may be, females travelling alone in many countries are asking for trouble.

As the saying goes: when your brother-in-law is unemployed, its a recession; when you are unemployed, its a depression; and when Obama is unemployed, its a recovery!!!!

Lets see, the Supreme Court Justices refused to stay the execution so are they racists, too? And are all the posters here that are against the death penalty and truly believe in the innocence of Troy Davis intimately more knowledgeable of the factual aspects of this case and the legality of capital punishment? Think not. They are just swimming in their own self-righteous ether...

Everything is relative, especially for prices. The yen goes up, so Japanese makers just raise the prices of their products. I've worked for a Japanese electronics maker here for 25 years; they kick, scream and blood shoots out their eyes when the yen appreciates, but I have received my bonuses and raises every year without fail, so I tend to ignore the predictions and doomsday scenarios...

Everybody wants something whether its jobs or entitlements, but no one wants to speak the cold reality. 1) a vast majority of the unemployed are unemployed because they are unemployable -- they lack the skills needed in this economy. You waste your time getting a degree in Psychology, History and the like and be prepared ot move back in with Mom & Dad. 2) Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is a Ponzi scheme at best, but its reality they are just a handout. The reality is if you work for 40 years and contribute to SSI, at the current payout rate you receive all of it back plus 8% interest in approximately five years -- after that, its just a welfare payment. BTW, 8% is about what you would receive from an Indexed Stock Fund over the same period.
Americans need to place more emphasis on useful educational skills, take care of their bodies (and stop eating like every meal is Thanksgiving), save more of their income and stop buy all that crap at Wal-mart...

Well if Gov. Chris Christie gets into the race (with a baseball bat) we will have a winner. @Serrano; what cosmic bunny hole did you fall into? Have you seen the poll numbers? Do you follow the unemployment rate and housing foreclosures? Although in all fairness Pres. Obama is not totally to blame -- guess where the buck stops?

HumanTarget: before you post, take the time check out the meaning of slander "the act of saying something false or malicious that damages somebody reputation"
So by referring to the President B. Hussein Obama is NOT slanderous by any stretch of the imagination. Further, stating the President's name in this manner does not damage his reputation since that is his name.
Anyway, it will be a mute point come January 21, 2013. People will then be saying Barak who?

Japanese politics is just a social club for guys who couldn't make it in the yakuza. The country is run by bureacrats who write all the laws and draw up the annual budget.
