    It's a training exercise. They get to strap on their military equipment, synchronize their watches, and play WOW in the neighborhood. If they're lucky they get to shoot the family dogs. If they're really lucky the homeowner is holding his morning coffee in a cup that looks like a gun...

    And #15 According to the Joint Economic Committee the richest 1% have 21% of the money. So at least one thing is going right.

    "share of total income accrued by the
    wealthiest 10 percent of households jumped from 34.6 percent in 1980 to 48.2 percent in
    2008.1 Much of the spike was driven by the share of total income accrued by the richest 1
    percent of households. Between 1980 and 2008, their share rose from 10.0 percent to 21.0
    percent, making the United States as one of the most unequal countries in the world.2 Moving
    even further up the income distribution, the share of income accruing to the wealthiest 0.1
    percent of households – those with incomes of at least $1.7 million in 2008 – has grown sharply
    as well."

    Our brainwashing won't be complete until we vote for Palin in 2012.

    From the Wall Street Journal (that bastion of the liberal media) Sept 29 (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748703882404575520091126205702.html)

                        WASHINGTON—The Senate failed to advance legislation pushed by Democrats Tuesday to deter
                                U.S. corporations from moving jobs overseas, an effort Republicans derided as political theater.

                                The vote on bringing the bill to the floor for a full debate was 53 to 45, shy of the 60 votes needed to end a GOP-led filibuster.

                                Democrats held the roll-call vote as polls showed more voters were concerned about outsourcing.

                                "There is a clear difference between who we are fighting for and who they are fighting for," said Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.

    So Repubs stopped a bill to limit outsourcing, we sent a message by electing more Repubs, Obama seems to have gotten message, and now you're complaining. Not thumbing his nose, rather he and you are being led by the nose. Get used to the feel of that ring through your nasal septum.

      Bush/Cheney gave us the first (although Bush now claims it wasn't him), Homeland Security is working on the second, and i heard an awful lot of the third from various candidates before last Tuesday.
