Obama supporters and ex-Obama supporters

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 1 Mar 10

It's now been a bit over a year. All those of you who supported Obama for the election, are you still hanging in there? Are you disappointed in his performance? As matters stand now, would you re-elect him?

Could a Gitmo closure supporter please explain how this is any better?

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 14 May 09

One of the first things Obama loudly proclaimed was that Guantanamo Bay will be closed. Well, that now opened a nice can of worms for him. Nobody wants those detainees. None of the US states wants them, definitely not living as...

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 1 May 09

Okay, today something happened that just really irritated me but extends to something that has been bugging me for some time now. My kids' school was hosting a breakfast for the kids as a treat. My oldest child's teacher assigned...

Don't feel sorry for ex-GM CEO Wagoner

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 1 Apr 09

After being asked to leave GM by the White House, Wagoner resigned. But looks like there is no need to feel sorry for him. He got $20 million as a good-bye 'present'. Those are supposed to be retirement benefits and...

need help with IP question

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 18 Mar 09

On several message boards I have seen people threaten others by telling them they'll know who they are and they'll post their IP address and real address and name. Is that at all possible? I know that board admin can do that, but...

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 16 Feb 09

Now that Obama is set to sign this lovely stimulus package they put together... well, there is only a minor tax break in there for us to use to stimulate what's left of the economy... well, next year the Bush tax cuts are set to...

Little known provision in stimulus plan may ruin your health!

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 10 Feb 09

It's too bad that our senators don't read what they approve. Looks like Tom Daschle managed to slip some scary health provisions into the stimulus...

Does Obama take his admiration for Lincoln a bit too far?

Obama wants critics to show him a better idea to stimulate the economy

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090109/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_economy Obama appears to be a tad bit upset with his fellow democrats for criticizing his stimulus plan and wanting to take out some parts and add other stuff. So now he...

Pay raise for judges attached to auto bailout

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 11 Dec 08

As if the $14 billion wasn't enough, no, they had to tack on a COLA pay raise for US district court judges. Most of us don't get a pay raise this year, much less one that reaches COLA levels. Yet our lawmakers apparently get an...

To save money, are you willing to give up/cut back on your cell phone?

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 7 Dec 08

With the economy in a downward spiral and all of us having to tighten our belts, are you willing to give up your cell phone in order to save money? If not, are you willing to cut back on your usage, switch to a cheaper plan...

Obama is not even in office yet but already has a holiday named after him

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 3 Dec 08

If this trend catches on, we soon will be able to add another holiday to our calendar: Barack Obama Day. Although Obama is officially not in office yet and only President-elect the commissioners of Alabama's Perry County went...

Black Friday - is it worth getting killed over?

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 29 Nov 08

Looks like the Black Friday shopping frenzy is getting out of hand. Apparently now we also have to hope that people make it out alive. In NY at a Walmart an employee was trampled to death when he opened the doors for the shoppers....

How do you know you have termites?

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 17 Nov 08

Ever since I moved to the US I heard a lot about termites and how you can have them but not see them but they could eat your entire house... We don't have that problem in Germany. Anyhow, this has worried me for quite some time...

Probably no official audit of Obama campaign finances

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 11 Nov 08

It looks like Obama's campaign finances, who donated how much etc, will most likely not be audited: http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081111/pl_politico/15497 I think that should be a mandatory thing. But currently it's only...

So what does everybody think of Michelle Obama's dress choice yesterday?

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 5 Nov 08

She wore a red and black Narciso Rodriguez dress. Maybe it was my recent encounter with a black widow spider, but the dress design reminded me exactly of that. It looked good, especially on her, and I would have liked it, if it...

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 5 Nov 08

Looks like some countries think our new leader will be weak and avoid wars. Russia announced they'll station missiles at the Polish border. We recently installed a missile defense system in Poland. Afghanistan is calling for...

Obama to let electricity rates skyrocket

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 2 Nov 08

Is this what Obama and Biden meant when they stated that Obama may make some unpopular decisions that will be in the end very good for us? Apparently he wants to bankrupt the coal mines and sent electricity rates through the roof....
