Still lots of work to do on the debt and job creation, but it's going in the right direction, just a little slow :) Let's give the current party a little more time to accomplish what needs to be done before bashing them too much.
Fred, care to back up your claims?

10 million? Sorry, only 8 million signed up, and a large percentage of them haven't actually GOTTEN insurance policies.

Ended 2 wars? Which ones? Iraq? Really? Afghanistan?

Now, let's bring up a few more "success" stories.

VA.

The FLOOD of illegal children.
Homeland Security dumping those
children from Texas to Arizona.

IRS.

EPA. (Same as the IRS, my dog ate my HDD.)

"Recess" appointments. (SCOTUS gave a 9-0 verdict.)

You want more?

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Steve, you forgot the only one that directly affects me, since a good part of my retirement funds come from my IRA's, which have almost tripled in value since Bush left office. All that other stuff is normal political nit picking that both parties partake in.

I normally avoid political back & forth banter as much as possible but here is a quote I made sure I didn't forget.

"We have not yet reached the goal, but given a chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years, and we shall soon, with the help of God, be within sight of the day when poverty will be banished from the nation."

I'll hold off on the context of this quote for a little. I'm sure a few of the older members might know where and when it came from and how eerily relevant it appears today.

No, just brain storming. I do not have any prior knowledge(that I can recall[yet?]).;)

I don't "remember" it but for some reason I know it. That was a few years before my time. It must have been my grand mother. She was a Herbert Hoover fan.

I had Hoover on base, but culled him out. Thinking I shoulda kept him there.;)

Yep, it was Hoover.

No matter, JPG. It never happened, anyway.
We can't banish poverty. Too many politicians depend on it.
