cvfd1399 0 #79 January 3, 2013 I've got it totally figured out.....make that bitch run on hope and change!! He's got that coming out of his ears, plenty enough to fuel two jumbo jets, and if he runs out of that, prop up a Teleprompter, and have him give some lib hair raising speech. Enough hot air they could stay afloat for another 4 years till he's gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,141 #80 January 4, 2013 If he is such a threat to America, like many on the right have been claiming, don't you guys have a 2nd Amendment to a Constitution just for that purpose? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,141 #83 January 4, 2013 QuoteI hope he doesnt even reply to your vague suggestion.... It wasn't a vague suggestion. Isn't an armed populace supposed to prevent Obama from being a threat to America? So, if he is a threat to America, wouldn't that mean the 2nd Amendment isn't working? Guess it is somewhat typical that first thoughts go to killing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 212 #86 January 4, 2013 QuoteDo you bend over to pick up pennies off the sidewalk? Do you walk across the street only if it's a dime? Wendy P. I absolutely do pick up pennies when I see them. Not sure what walking across the street has to do with dimes, but if you are asking if I would cross the street if I saw a dime on the ground, the answer is yes, if I see it. If you mind your pennies, the dollars take care of them selves. Waste not want not. Rather, maybe it should be waste not, Tax not.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #87 January 4, 2013 Home budgets are crappy analogies, but the whole "go ahead and spend because that program is a tiny part" is a lot like this: "John got laid off and money is tight. However, we still go out to restaurants 5 nights a week. It doesn't matter since the mortgage and the car payments are the biggest items and a few steaks and lobsters won't make a dent compared to them" ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeorgiaDon 340 #89 January 4, 2013 QuoteHome budgets are crappy analogies, but the whole "go ahead and spend because that program is a tiny part" is a lot like this: ....I agree with your comment. I also think home budget analogies are also sometimes crappy because they are being applied to a situation that never occurs in a real home budget, like this one about the cost of AF1. How many people Have to travel with the level of security, and the staff, that the President does? How many people have to assume they will be targets for terrorists or disgruntled citizens every time they travel? Have the guarantee of perfect communications at all times, even in the event that someone should launch a nuclear attack while they are in the air? Plus having to keep up a level of maintenance on an old vehicle that precludes (as much as is humanly possible) the chance of a crash due to a mechanical failure? I was also shocked to learn how much it costs to operate AF1, but it seems that cost is not materially different than it has been under previous presidents. Certainly no-one has provided evidence that Obama has demanded anything that inflated the cost. AF1 is the responsibility of the military, and they are the ones who set the budget for it. It's justifiable to ask why is the cost so high, and is there anything about it that is superfluous? But, do we as a country really want to risk some major crisis because the president was out of communication at a critical moment? Have any wacko be able to take out the President's plane due to crappy security? End up with Biden (or Pelosi!!) as president because it was too expensive to properly maintain the engines? This isn't directed at rehmwa, but to anyone who thinks the President should have to pay out of pocket for the cost of travel.

wmw999 2,146 #92 November 23, 2016 And in an update, it's costing about a million dollars a day for Trump's secret service protection (never mind traffic disruption) and when his wife and son don't move to the White House that cost will continue.

I just point out the bull shit on this site as the libs have run most of the other conservatives out of here.
