- What lies are you referring? Is it the sleazy backroom deals? the lies about how Obamacare will save the world? (and all the illegal aliens) Or maybe its how no ones taxes will increase? It could be how he has saved America with his union backed Govt motors.

- Dnimerick, speaking of silver spoon. No one has ever come up with an answer as to where BHO came up with his money. I mean, community organizing can't be all that profitable, can it? Oh wait, I forgot he worked for ACORN, Never mind.

- Eric, how long has your head been up your ass? My dog could beat BHO at this point in time. But hey, don't worry, His popularity won't stay up that long. BHO is the worst president in our history. Only JC is proud of this idiot. (and I don't mean Jesus Christ)

- ONE thing he is not doing is bowing down to any muslims! Or making any sleazy backroom deals with corrupt unions to buy votes. Or ramming a disaster down our throats called OBAMACARE! Or killing the small businesses across America such as the local car dealerships.

- Just a little note to Israel. Sadly, you are on your own with this current disgraceful administration until 2012. Do not trust the BHO regeime. He may not be a muslim, (who knows) but he definitely has muslim leanings.

Where did you get this FACT regarding taxes? This is an important issue for me and I used a link that calculated taxes under both plans. Obama's plan lowered my taxes whereas McCain's raised them. Again, please cite the source of your FACT regarding taxes.
