I thought we were safe under GW: Feds warn of terror plotting against NYC subways

[Mac-A-Matic]

The rub here for people like Never Mind is that the United States will experience some of its' worst economic and social times during the term of Barack Obama. It is unlikely that all the optimism and hope in the nation won't avert the looming depression that will hit us the hardest within two years.

When that happens, these same people will scream that it's not Obama's fault because these economic hard times were set in motion during the republican administration. Of course, these are the same people who want us to believe that the Clinton years were a bubble that were not influenced as a result of the preceding republican administrations.

These same people also want to deflect the fact that Clinton friends also prospered during Bill's terms in office.

Of course, let's not forget that the presidency has been very good to the Clintons since Bill left office. Since the end of his presidency, their wealth has skyrocketed by 5600% to more than $20 million. Bill alone has earned nearly $52 million for speeches and $29.5 million on his book deal.

But don't believe me, read about it on msnbc.com:

I'm not a fan of Mr. Clinton but isn't he just following in the footsteps of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. Didn't both go on speaking tours for the then unheard of princely fee of (in the Reagan case) $100K a pop.

Bet that's not how you see it, huh?

Wonder what the incumbent will fetch for his speaking dates or if he'll even attempt a tour.

The plain fact of the matter, is that the money they make really means very little to me. I've accepted that our world, our politicians, our government and our system is corrupted. To me, it matters little who is in the White House because the people are getting screwed.

The Raw Deal for democrats is that they like to believe that their politicians care for them more than others, and that they're not as motivated by ego and personal gain - that somehow, those are exclusive to politicians labeled "republican".

In 1994, the American public was fed up with the abuses of the democrats and swept the republicans into power. Time has passed and the tide has turned. This is how it is and how it will be. One party is not better than the other.

"One party is not better than the other."

The Democratic Party is better than the Republican Party, according to the Dog Turd Theory of Politics:

Democratic Party = 2 Dog Turds in the yard

Republican Party = 10 Dog Turds in the yard

The first attempt by terrorists of blowing up the WTC was in 1993.

Should we state that whoever was President then did nothing so therefore 9/11 is his fault ?


The subways seem to be intact.
Homeland Security must be working.

FUD for the FUD.
