Care to give us a political unbiased fact about President Obama's view on Socialism? You can't since Political unbiased facts doesn't exist.

I'm not reading it either, just found it interesting :P "The book has been criticized for containing factual errors, as being racially charged and as being a political "attack book" containing smears, falsehoods, and innuendo. FactCheck described the book as "a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods." Things like that don't interest me. I like unbiased facts. LOL Sorry. I just couldn't help thinking this is the right place to find believers in the factual errors, smears, falsehoods, innuendo, unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies, and outright falsehoods. LOL, I thought the same thing...lol

all sides can claim biased in the media depending on what your views are. I see some people complaining about biased if it goes against what they believe but have no problem with biased if it is in favor of what they believe

I wouldn't be surprised to see that Obama be the most hated man in America in by the end of the year. And it isn't going to be his Socialist plan for the American people, but his willingness to continue to be the old wine with new bubbles. LOL A Republican I presume? No. I was once called a Chomskyite. Since I kinda agree with the famous professor about the Democrats and the Republicans are merely the same Party but two different factions of adventurers who compete for the attention of Corporate lobbyists. And now? Ron Paul?

I find it quite interesting when the Republican great Bush was handing out welfare to all in the form of a "stimulus" payment that wasn't considered detrimental to the country but when anyone who is not Republican does it, it is going to end the country as we know it. The mess this country is in was not Obama's doing at any level. He is being guided by economist to try to turn things around. I believe he is acting in our best interest unlike the last pres. Now if we have to go into debt for the economic fix then so be it. It is not like Bush had a balanced debt when he was in office and Obama put us into debt. Hypocrisy

Now don't get me wrong. If the US can pay back its debt and keep the economy profitable and afloat then the decision was a good one, but if not then it could really bring in cold relations and bad profits. One can not expect to ever return debt and experience no negative impact (I am not even mentioning that there will be no positive impact) of borrowing, if the funds borrowed were not invested, but consumed. If spent for consumption, the negative impact is guaranteed. If spent for an investment, then there is a possibility of a positive impact, but only if the investment itself brings sufficient profits.

This country has the House, Senate and the President to get bills and laws passed through. One group isn't solely responsible for things because there are 2 other check points. I find it hypocritical when people blame ONE predident (past, present or future) for the debt and everything else under the sun when the house and senate has a hand in it too. can't blame one president for everything under the sun as solely responsible, but when your president is in office then blame everyone else...IMO

I got a letter from the IRS today. It said it was changing my return to add three hundred dollars to my check from the stimulus program that I NEVER applied to receive. I knew perfectly well I did not apply for the money. Go figger.

And now? Ron Paul? Didn't say that either. I agree on some of his arguments and positions, but I don't really agree on the fact that his way of rallying grassroot organizations is in any way significant for changing our domestic and foreign policy.
