We live in a society where women get paid less than us, are abused by us, and are taken for granted by us. The least we can do is eat their ass.

Just that food/supplies rarely gets into the hands of people that need it the most. They are usually horded by those in power or the most ardent supporters of the dictator.
And yet the Dems still haven't spent as much as Bush had in the past 8 years. Between the Iraq war and TARP, the dems have some more ground to cover.
The United States plans to withdraw most of its troops from Iraq by August 2010, 19 months after President Barack Obama's inauguration, according to administration officials. The withdrawal plan would fulfill one of Obama's central campaign pledges, albeit a little more slowly than he promised. He said he would withdraw troops within 16 months, roughly one brigade a month from the time of his inauguration.The officials said they expect Obama to make the announcement this week. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not been made public.The U.S. military will leave behind a residual force, between 30,000 and 50,000 troops, to continue advising and training Iraqi security forces, the two officials said. Also staying beyond the 19 months will be intelligence and surveillance specialists and their equipment, including unmanned aircraft, they said.<snip>Congress has approved more than $657 billion so far for the Iraq war, according to a report last year from the Congressional Research Service.
He had to pull troops out, it was one of the central issues he ran on. I think Iraq will be a lot calmer in the end after all the troops (well combat troops) leave than a lot predicted when railing against pull-out. In the end I bet this will be a rather non-issue.
HUD secretary just said, and repeated, that the Obama White House is confident that the recession will be over by the end of 2009. There's no way he was supposed to say that, is there?

Haha, dumbass Mike Pence (R-IN) was just on talking up a spending freeze. AGAIN. What tards.
So my uncle and grandfather (the staunch Republicans I mentioned in the election threads) are making comments in their emails like "so Obama's been in office a month and it's not looking good so far," or "sorry to say, but Obama is not inspiring confidence in the markets."What do you guys think? I can't see how any of the continued downward spiral is Obama's fault, but it seems that Republicans (not the ones in Congress, but Republican voters) are already trying to spin it that way.
So, if Bobby Jindal was smart he'd probably just go out and get a beer.
It was long, drawn out, and full of double speak. But, I thought the bast part was when he said dropping out of school was giving up on your country. I think that's where he can really make a huge impact.
If Jindal is the so called rising star to beat Obama in 2012 then.....
Anyone who is 40+ but still looks like they're wearing their Dad's suit will never be president.
You know, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Jindal one of those Congressmen doing nothing about running up record deficits until 2007 or so?
