Your thoughts?

Answer 1

My thoughts? Please list who is leading by honest example. Anyone please just give me one!! For every one you give me on the dems side I will respond with a repub. So stop it please. I guess maybe you are inferring that the last administration was honest?



Sorry Saille...my pet peeve happens to be career politicians. So I can be a bit testy. You are correct in reporting this type of blatant disregard of laws. I can guarantee that if you or I owed this we would be locked up so really how do these people get away with this? That is what I would like to know. Is there a double standard going on here in the good old USA? If you are in government you don't have to pay your back taxes and on top of that the American people will pay for your health insurance and retirement!! Guess I am in the wrong professsion.



@part II, I do like Ron Paul and think he is one of the ones who do try. I would be hard pressed to be honest with our politics funded the way they are. Lobbyists need to be curbed and campaign reform needs to be addressed. Oh also term limits my pet peeve. I do not believe the founders of this country meant for 'public' servants to get rich off the backs of the people they were meant to represent.

Answer 2

The statements relating punitive conflict or political conflict are natural opinion. I for one feel that had we no longer invaded either one of the ones nations, we could be handling extra terrorist assaults on this nation. I feel that it got here all the way down to "we combat them right here or there", I prefer that we combat them there. I could so much instead we no longer have got to invade someone and all of us get alongside, however that has in no way occurred within the historical past of the arena. The global thinks that the USA is a country of conflict mungers, however weren't. But, we (no less than a great deal people) do not wish to enter some thing part heartedly. We're both going to do it proper or by no means. Now, plenty of errors had been made at the facet of our govt, a few for the reason that the democratic get together has no backbone and a few for the reason that we elected a deficient excuse of a conservative.

Answer 3

Stupid, is expecting this President, in 20 months, to pull us out of the 96 month deep economic hole that Bush and the GOP threw us into



This, especially while he's busy fighting two wars that got dumped in his lap; trying to fix a health care system that's rated 37th in the world and left 44 million Americans literally dying for lack of care: rebuilding the very foundation of a banking system on the verge of world-wide implosion; the collapse and devaluation of the nations real estate market; dealing with the worst oil spill disaster in history, rampant unemployment that is also a result of Bush policies, saving the American automobile industry, trying to figure out what to do with Bush's Gitmo and the hundreds of terror "suspects" imprisoned there; being accused of trying to brainwash school children through his yearly address to our kids, and of being a racist, a terrorist, a socialist, a communist; a Muslim extremist; a non-citizen, a lousy bowler and Adolf Hitler; and I'm not even halfway through the list.



ALL of this, while being obstructed, sabotaged, filibustered, delayed, stalled, blocked, checked and insulted in terms the likes of which no President should ever be subjected. By a gang of sore loser, greedy, dishonest, cry baby bullies intent on destroying his Presidency at all cost, without regard to the collateral damage done to the people.



And all this in time of war.

Answer 4

YES



They are leading by example. They don't think laws or rules should be followed so...they are not following them. Oh wait, the GOP must follow the law or they will be prosecuted.

Answer 5

Obama's Adm is the most Corrupt since JFK

Answer 6

It is honest if you consider it business as usual in the city of Chicago, where Cronyism is law.
