Subject: This man is pathetic.

In a speech at a campaign fundraiser Wednesday night (August 3, 2011), president Obama said "...we have made some incredible strides together" but "...we're not even halfway there yet". Excuse me! Half way to where? Where are we going? Do we have to go? Or are you going to drag us kicking and screaming by the scruffs of our necks?

Do you mean you will take us to 18% unemployment instead of the current 9%, $28 trillion in debt instead of the current $14 trillion, $8 per gallon gasoline prices instead of $4? Will taxes double?

No one can say we haven't been warned.

Artful Dodger: .... people get scared. To suggest that liberals know nothing else just makes them guilty of being human. To suggest that it's only liberals then suggests that anyone who isn't a liberal is not human.

... Have not the Republicans and American Conservatives run scares?
