    Does it cost money to be socially progressive?
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    It does if your progressivism extends to "free" healthcare for everyone.

    social progressive means that it is not productive to let a portion of our population go without health coverage

    fiscal conservative means that i want the biggest bang for my tax extorted dollars, e.g., spending money administering food stamps and fraud detection when it would be cheaper to hand out mag stripe cards for certain food ingredients to anyone that wanted one - we pay farmers not to grow food and store surplus subsidized food rather than give it away to maintain prices

And you'll just keep being a willfully ignorant neocon parrot. this Presidents huge drop in the polls at such a short period of time has got to be a record of all the Presidents I have been around for... You're such a delusional liar....Obama's ratings are STILL better in 8 months than what the Shrub had for about 6 years, and nowhere near the toilet flush ratings and the neocon driven GOP Congress/Senate when they ruled. Let me know what the story is at the end of his first term....the FACTS, not your worthless neocon blatherings.
    Soooooooo.....I will be the happiest camper to watch the melt downs starting 2010 and the best will come in 2013...I'll be dancing in the streets..

    A couple things, LA made huge money on the Olympics while Greece lost a stimulus worth.
    Who picked Chicago, did it have anything to do with it being BHO home.

    Maybe your decoder ring needs recalibration?
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    As you pointed out, hosting the Olympics is no guarantee of being "in-the-black" for everyone.

    And I, for one, could have thought of better places than Chicago to host the Olympics. But then again, Brazil has some serious areas of historical poverty and crime, so how are they going to overcome that?

    Of course, we can only speculate if it was a tie in to the current Presidency that influenced this choice....but my point is that it's pretty messed up as to how the neocons are cackling with glee that something associated with Obama didn't pan out while throwing their purported patriotism and nationalism out the window.

    Being that you and Meme are practically interchangeable when it comes to intellect, I'd expect nothing less. Carry on.
