[bubbabgone]

Happened to me once.....I was trying to get my sucker back from my younger brother who had snatched it. So I was like yelling at him to give me my sucker. Next thing I know My step father came over and smacks me one upside the head.

I was like

what did I do wrong.

He said.....U know what U did. My brother gave me back my sucker hurriedly likes. So I looked at him.....then I looked at my step-dad.....then I looked at the sucker. Then I said.....

but it was Charms Blow Pop!

You're lucky he didn't smack you again after the blow-pop comment...he could have misunderstood.

The ones I see suffering the most are the ones who still haven't gotten over the 2012 election.

Ah ... you're referring to the 14% real unemployment ... I see your point and it's a good one.

Ah ... you're referring to the 14% real unemployment ... I see your point and it's a good one.

How much higher is that than when Obama became president?

Ah ... you're referring to the 14% real unemployment ... I see your point and it's a good one.

I thought it was 17 % for blacks. Or was that 21%? Either way he hasn't done anything to help there either.

Indeed Lady Polgara

......one just need picture Joe Biden smiling in their face, while telling all he is a friend of yours. :lol:

And Uncle Joe can be different people at different times ...

Whats there to get over.....we have 30 Republican States, 5 away from a 2/3rds majority, the House, and the Money! :roll:

Plus the 2014 Senate isn't looking so good for the Democrats. Not with 20 Democratic Senators looking to Tee Up. :golf

What's to get over for the ODS crowd?

 

[Heebie Jeebie]

Or how about former president Bush? Since his retirement from the White House, he's enjoyed some time on the links. He too gets security which is paid for with tax dollars. Should he stop playing golf? How come righties aren't counting the number of times he plays golf these days?

So is George flying down to Florida or Hawaii regularly to play golf? What additional costs are paid by the tax payers when Bush plays golf?

 

[Sheik Yerbuti]

dunno ... got a link for real umemployment numbers under W Bush?

Sure ...

U6 Unemployment Rate

Jan/2001: 7.3%
Jan/2009: 14.2%
Feb/2013: 14.3%

Unemployment nearly doubles under Bush -- righties say nothing

Unemployment is up 1/10th of one point (0.7%) -- righties baffled that Obama gets re-elected.

 

[MMC]

Yeah, whats to get over :roll:

Money Talks.....Bull**** walks, and as we are seeing.....Obama Quacks!

Bush has round-the-clock security. Where ever Bush goes, security goes with him. Where he plays golf, I don't know because I don't care. But he does play golf and he does incur costs for security while he plays.

I have yet to see a single rightie complain about Bush playing golf at the expense of tax payers since he retired. What a bunch of hypocrites. :roll:

 

[Sheik Yerbuti]

Yeah, whats to get over :roll:

Money Talks.....Bull**** walks, and as we are seeing.....Obama Quacks!

Yeah, money talks ....

 

[MMC]

Yeah, money talks ....

Glad you agree that Obama doesn't have the money nor the Demos. Now if you could just get him to quit spending & wasting money on his Lavish pleasures. That would be great!

Yes Bush has round the clock security but tax payers don't pay for the Secret Service travel, hotels and meals outside of the standard per deim given regardless of their location. The taxpayers don't even pay for Bush's air fare. When Bush plays golf it costs taxpayers nothing more than when he sits in his rocking chair on his porch.
When Obama flies to Florida for a weekend of golf the tax payers pay for all the air fare, hotel rooms, vehicles and meal for the entire entourage, not just the SS. Plus Air force One and any escorts.

What are you saying? That Romney raised more money than Obama?

Who do you think pays for Bush's security, whereever he goes, if not the secret service???

Before you answer, refer to the relevant laws: Public Law 89-186 and Public Law 103-329

 

[Heebie Jeebie]

The tax payers pay for SS protection for all former Presidents for up to 10 years after they leave office. That means the salaries and benefits of the agents. They do not pay for travel expenses for the SS for weekend golf outings, family picnics or a quick flight to the Bahama's.

The taxpayers do pay for these when the President travels.

 

[MMC]

What are you saying? That Romney raised more money than Obama?

No it was clear what I said......we have 30 Republican States as opposed to 20 Democratic ones. We have the House and the Money.

Money talks Bull**** walks.

The Only way Obama gets the Money is to Burn the House Down.

That's if ya can get him to listen to you. :lol:

Too bad you didn't look it up as I had suggested. Secret service expenses of up to $1 million per year are paid from the U.S. Treasury, including travel expenses.

You should try reading better.

Look on page 30 in the link below and you will see the grand total spent by the government on travel for ALL former President in the yer 2000 was $88,000 dollars.

"In fiscal year 1994, the Former Presidents Act was amended to authorize
an appropriation for GSA to make available for each former president up
to $1 million annually and his or her spouse up to $500,000 annually for
security and travel-related expenses if,
• the former president and/or spouse was not receiving lifetime protection
under the lifetime provision (18 U.S.C. § 3056), or
• protection provided by the Secret Service had expired at the end of the 10-
year period, or
• protection was declined prior to end of the 10-year period."

You know that Bush (GW) had nothing to do with that in 2000, right? At any rate, that proves what I said, that travel expenses are covered.

So c'mon, let's hear the complaints about Bush playing golf .... <crickets>

Why you naughty naughty boy doing that selective data reporting ... shame on you ... now what do you notice about the 8 W.Bush years?
Are you suggesting we should get used to 4 more years of what Obama has delivered in the 1st 4?

It says they pay for all travel expenses. That's a travel expense.
