I do worry that stupid people will compare the budget to previous budgets without taking into consideration that pretty much all of the cost of the wars in the middle east wasn't included in previous budgets.

And if there's anyone who would be an expert on inflicting fiscal damage in this country, it would be Karl Rove.

Whoever submitted a link with Karl Rove labeled HERO should be permanently banned, and probably beaten up in the parking lot.

respected member of the previous administration

I laughed a lot at this, but then I thought about it. Is anyone considered a respected member of Dubya's administration? And I mean respected by the country, not by the Repubs.

That depends. How far down the ladder do you want to go? I'm sure there are some respectable generals (one or two star) and sub cabinet assistants to the assistant.

I think the White House chef still has a pretty high approval rating.

Could someone please tell me when and where Rove got his degree in economics?
Ok, how about any degree?
That's what I thought.

I wouldn't consider most generals to be a part, because they are just doing their service. The commanders I would consider part of the administration though. As for the sub assistants, yeah probably, but I was more thinking of someone the American people have heard of.

Etchy333: I think the White House chef still has a pretty high approval rating.

I think this may be the only person who qualifies.

actually, there was some dude on here a few weeks ago who said all military officers must turn in their resignations every time there's a new president, and then he chooses who to keep on.

That thread was funny.

If you have a thermometer that never reads the right temperature, do you keep referring to it or do you throw it out?

So, "unindicted" in the the new benchmark for "respected" in politics? I suppose that has a certain logic.

This thread could be filled with win. I wish I possessed the requisite skills to write on Karl's wipe board.

You know what's awesome? Is that the crawl says, "Some speculate that Obama's..."

See, this is how Fox can say blatantly false things: "Some speculate" "Some people say".

"Some speculate that Karl Rove likes getting pegged by Ann Coulter while Rush Limbaugh jerks off on his head".

It's not libel.. it's speculative.

I love Obama's "tax cut for 95% of Americans" that somehow doesn't lower any of the marginal tax rates.

Left-leaning Total Farkers have no originality. Their only recent contribution is "Wharrbbllleee" and "Butthurts". The rest is taking old right-leaning Farker photoshops and replacing the donkey with an elephant.

So boring.

This. They need to go back and recalc the previous budgets using this method at least back to (and including) Bush I.

Obama says that he will reduce the deficit but his words do not reflect his policies. At his current rate of spending the US will be declaring bankruptcy by 2010 or working the printing presses until they break.

 
Shaggy_C 2009-02-27 03:39:17 PM  
Obama should have put the stimulus package off-budget because it's 'emergency appropriations', right Mr. Rove?

Or you have no idea what you are talking about. I will guess option B is the right answer.

 
TheSelphie 2009-02-27 03:39:31 PM  
Except Karl Rove is probably the least-respected member of the previous administration. I'm almost certain Subby was being facetious.

Bill Hicks once specualted that Rush liked to get shiat on while wacking his piggily-wiggily dick.

Have you had your head in the sand for the last 8 years?

Lets see....bush wipes his ass with the constitution...figuratively of course.

Bush started a war to get back at saddam for his daddy...speculative....of course.

Karl Rove to be indicted tomorrow...completely false..and speculative.

Do you need more?

Both sides do that crap...at least try and be competent and realize that.

I'm sure you'll be providing screencaps from LIEbrul media outlets who feature those accusations in a crawl across the bottom of the screen.

Any minute now.......

Are 95% of americans getting a tax break or not?

I mean, what are you even talking about. The budget it there.

Both sides do it don't work here. The only news source on TV that consistantly pulls shiat out of their asses with the "Some folks say..." is Fox. Defending them on this is stupid. They are downright comical with it.

He listened to Rush today. Rush said it, so it must be true.

Sadly, I know that Rush said it. :(
