    Isn't Spain one of the countries that's on the verge of bankruptcy, and is accepting bailouts from the IMF?

    Sorry, buddy. Revenues increased during most of Bush's presidency. It was increased spending that ended the surplus, whether as a result of 9/11 spending, or the spending party when Dem's took congress and the Senate at the end of 2006.

    And on budget origination, your reading comprehension leaves a little to be desired. If the President is going to propose a budget, maybe he should propose one that at least gets votes from his own party. I'd even settle for it if he'd make his proposal on time as specified by law, but he can't even seem to do that. President incompetence talks a good game, hut his execution leaves much to be desired.

    Amazing that the people who collect taxes are still on the job, but the people that repay your interest free loans are not. Remember the federal government works for you.

    No, GM is a critical pension provider, that happens to make cars. The organizations that receive the handouts give massive amounts of money to the people that currently happen to be in power. When that changes GM will lose the handouts.

    The current administration is using that power as much as we feared. Not surprising, as your free speech zones exist almost solely on Liberal college campuses, and the democratic national convention.

    What country did you live in before 2009? As one of the people who opposed the Bush administration, we were told by that administration that if we did not agree with them, we were no better than the terrorists ("If you're not with us, you're against us!"). This scared all of the reporters who had tough questions about the Iraq War to keep their mouths shut or only ask softball questions.

    That's a nice way to look at it, but if you look at it in context, he was clearly talking about other nations supporting or rejecting terrorism. Not individual US citizens or journalists. The statement was made on Nov 6th, 2001, in a joint press conference with Jaques Chirac.
