From President Obama's speech at a Democratic National Committee Finance dinner:

“The other side drove the economy into the ditch, and we’ve been down there and putting on our boots, and it’s muddy, and it’s hot, and there are bugs swarming, and we’ve been pushing and shoving and sweating, trying to get this car out of the ditch,” Obama said.“And the Republicans have been standing there, sipping on a Slurpee, watching us and saying, you’re not pushing hard enough, or you’re not pushing the right way,” the president continued to partisan laughter.

“Well, come down and help,” Obama said. “’No, no, no, you go ahead,’” the president said, illustrating the Democratic complaint that the GOP is the party of no.

“Finally, we get the car up on level ground, and it is -- it’s kind of dinged up. I mean, it wasn’t good for the car to be driven into the ditch. And it needs some body work, it needs a tune-up, it needs a carwash, but it’s moving,” Obama said defending his economic policies which Democrats argue have prevented things from getting worse and have helped improve some types of job creation.

“Suddenly we get a tap on the shoulder and the Republicans say, ‘We want the keys back,' " Obama said. “You can’t have the keys back. You can’t drive. That’s why we were in the ditch. And as soon as they get into power, they will throw that car right back in reverse. There’s a reason why, when you want to go forward, you put it into ‘D,’ and when you go backward, it goes into ‘R’.”

and that was a great line.....
who is going to ask to see Obama's Drivers license next...

saw this one online and I laughted ....some great writers out there with some real wits...I wish they could all come together and fix todays problems tho...

I am really concerned about North Korea's appointment of Kim Jung Un to be the new leader of North Korea-- a nuclear
power!

Kim Jung Un had NO military experience whatsoever before Daddy made him a four-star general in the military. This is a snot-nose twerp who has never
accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership: he hasn't even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, coached a
sports team or commanded a military platoon. So guess what---next they make him the "beloved leader" of the country. Terrific!

Oh, crap! I'm sorry. I just remembered that we did the same thing here in the USA. We took an arrogant community organizer who has never worn a uniform and made him Commander-in-Chief; a guy who has never had a real job, worked on a budget or led anything more than an ACORN demonstration, and made him the leader of this country.


I'm sorry I brought this
up. Never mind.

And he's about to be re-elected. How do you like those apples?

I think he loves all apples.

I got that .

I think she calls him and tells him what to post .

Is it OK to be against a Stimlus that you requested money from?

Ha ha ha


TIS

OH MY,... Quick someone posted a joke about OUR man Obama..

we can't have that...gather up the troops so we can put a stop to that....

Signed,
Joe Biden

Here we go again:

Sen. Claire McCaskill is probably having a pretty good Sunday. Her opponent in the Missouri Senate race, Republican Rep. Todd Akin, has spent most of the day backtracking after saying that victims of "legitimate rape" cannot biologically become pregnant and thus do not need access to legal abortions.

"First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy after rape] is really rare," Akin told KTVI-TV in defense of his stand that rape victims should not be allowed to access abortions. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

Akin said that even if a rape victim does somehow become pregnant, "I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child."

What "doctors" told him that? The members of the Moron Doctor's Club???

WTH is legitimate rape? And how does the body shut down?

He's a stupid, extremist jerk. But you can't blame all Republicans for his inane rant anymore than you can blame all Democrats for Joe Biden.

Agree with you on that PB.

Ok so the guy is a moron. Can we stop with all this nonsense about Biden's "chains" and this idiot's ideas on rape? Arent there some economic, security and future direction of the country issues out there?

That was my point. You can't blame either party as a whole for the stupid comments of a few imbeciles.

Last time I checked this was still an election year and this country was still in terrible economic shape, with troubling security issues. I think it's time for everyone on both sides to address the real issues here, and to stop reporting nonsense.

The wrong side must not win

That's great, Lilo.

Thanks SB. I thought it was pretty good as well. No matter what happens in November the world is going to keep on turning...

My grandfather used to say that whether Candidate A or B won an election, he still would have to get up the next morning, put on his hat and coat and go to work.

Don't forget that the Republican convention starts Monday and the Democratic convention starts the following monday.

Not so much any more. The winner has to go to work, but the loser can have a book ghost written, go o a speaking tour and make money doing practically nothing.

Are they each a week long?? I don't remember.





TIS

4 days

The conventions generally run four days. That is assuming it won't be postponed by Hurricane Isaac.

Imagine that.... the convention was almost derailed by an illegitimate rape and may now be postponed by a big blowjob.

Ha ha ha ha I did hear that the GOP DID have a "plan B" ready just in case.

Btw, I also hear that Joe Biden will be making an appearance (Tampa I think) that same day.


TIS

Damn, Joe forgot which party he was in AGAIN!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Just as the city of Charlotte, N.C., gears up to host the Democratic National Convention, an atheist group is mounting a billboard campaign attacking the religious faiths of President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney.

The signs, paid for by American Atheists Incorporated (AAI) and appearing along keylocal highways, include messages such as: "Christianity: Sadistic God, Useless Savior" and "Mormonism: Magic Underwear, Baptizes Dead People, Big Money, Big Bigotry." AAI President David Silverman told FoxNews.com the signs are aimed at keeping religion and politics separate as the convention gets under way Sept. 3.

Why do they even have conventions anymore? They are just outdated pep rallies that are irrelevent in this day and age. Think of all the negative ads each party could buy if they took the money they were spending at the convention for them.
