I suspect big girl will, after reading the article, declare it to be a lie.

Lets start with this one. Since this recovery is the weakest rebound since World War II with GDP being about 1/2 of what any average recovery is, do you think it is fair to question the methodology of the current administration? Do you think that a country mired in more debt (as a percentage of GDP) than it has ever been, has any business being involved in projects such as Solyndra? Do you believe that the government is as efficient and productive in business efforts as the private markets?

So we are simply having a contest to see who can delay his response the longest? Please note that I asked permission to make the assumption. In the other thread where you accused me of avoiding your question, you were attempting to lead me in a certain direction because you were already armed with an answer you wanted to give. As previously stated, if you want to discuss the ills of the economy and who is or isnt responsible, I am more than willing )and very well armed) to discuss with you.

    Be a trendsetter and reveal that news now rather than waiting for Fox to do it.

I guess this is where I should give you the same answer that you gave me regarding the Whitehouse- because of the "exterior" color.( I suspect that when you used that response, you considered it pretty cute but I am going to guess you don't think that way when it comes from me) Once again, however, the color is not supposed to matter and therefore whether they are referred to as black, white,yellow, mixed is no longer of significance.

    But you are so pleased with how progressive we have become. There is supposed to be no reference to race. All are supposed to be judged on the content of their character. Why not support the theory that when you look at a person or a school or a business, you are, ideally, color blind and make no reference to color?

Westend- Do you believe that what is taking place in Texas/Arizona ( flood of Aliens) is a good thing? If so, do you further believe that a country that is 17 trillion in debt ought to provide for those folks?

Dove- in this day of "fairness and equality" why should any institute of higher learning be coined as a black school or white school, etc. etc. etc.?

There is a message that was conveyed in that race and it does not apply to any single individual or single party.

Some people think that there are just a few bad apples in the bunch.

May I assume that , from this point forward, unless a question is posed in a manner you find acceptable, you will not answer it or will that only happen if the answer is negative for the left?  If you believe that you can somehow portray, from a historical perspective, that the Dems are more fiscally responsible than the Republicans, you have the most ambitious task you have ever undertaken in your life and one that you will be unable to prove.  The dismal and well documented fiscal failure of the current administration will more than counter any historical examples you can provide.

But, since you know the answer, why not provide it.? After all, an experienced educator such as you is smart enough to know the intent of a question.  We already know that a President has no authority to raid or invade the social security trust.    We also know that a President has no authority to lie about whether or not you can keep your healthcare plan if you like it.  That  lack of authorization did not stop it from happening. Under whose administration were social security funds first used for purposes other than social security benefits? 

With all of the great topics being discussed lately, I am shocked/dismayed that you have not bloviated to the commoners on here.  Have you been banned again?

Let me boldly speak on Smittys behalf and ask you this way:  Which President was the first President to invade the Social Security fund?  If you still find that too ambiguous how about:  Which President was the first President to allow social security funds to be used for purposes other than social security benefits?

And when compared to GDP the tripled debt pales in comparison to today

Since TXHoops started the "name that President" thread, I suggest we allow him to be the first to respond.

Big Girl- Perhaps you should feel badly for yourself for misrepresenting things so overtly in a failed effort to make a political point.

That is precisely what this is about. Having the book come out right now is timed so as to help her be a presidential candidate before she formally announces. Its her way of saying " I feel your pain".

Then you are saying that it is similar to the War On Poverty?

I believe one of the moderators told us all recently that you were supposed to post the link rather than doing a partial copy and paste. [Hidden Content]

How do you feel about the parents of the thousands of kids in Chicago who have been slain for no good reason?

    Dove, even from your wording, it sounds like there are more than just 4 or 5 people involved.

I have a question for Woorbootz- I noticed that you were suggesting to Tragichippy that his source is, from your viewpoint, questionable. What is it that makes you more reliable than his source?

Compared to our current idealogue, even Mrs. Clinton looks mild. ( although it was somewhat pathetic that she recently stated in a television interview that they were broke when they left the whitehouse- that ranks up there with the video causing Benghazi)

  Just a couple more years.
