Best graphis to describe the pure nonsense put out by Obama Himself.
This should be the opening for every computer in the states.
Thanks a lot.

As most Americans are math challenged today thanks to the make over of our public school systems the past 40 years it takes videos such as this to to help explain things to them. Maybe simple illustations would help people when they purchase homes, cars or anything using credit cards to understand they just can't afford what they want so badly. Of course this will never work with the people in Washington as they use a logic system that does not come from this world.

Excellent! Even the empty suit in the WH might understand it, because I am convinced that 'the Won' does not have the foggiest idea about the gazillions he is throwing around. Most of it is payback for the slugs that put him into office. He does not understand the stock market, why would he understand anything else about money! We have heard him stuttering about it before the election when he was asked about health care, unfortunately for him, he was without his teleprompter!

It is illegal to destroy US currency! This video is evidence of a crime. Call the police!

Ken| 4.28.09 @ 4:26PM

Short of puts things in perspective. Shebla's comments about destroying money and calling the police is a very small problem compared to the rape of the Constitution and our way of life by the BO administration. When all someone can see is that a penny was destroyed in light of all that is going on, how do you try to rationalize with that mindset. I do believe that Forest Gumps mother was correct.

The Conservatives are always saying how the Democrats are trying to force socialism on us, but every bit of rhetoric they produce rings of fascism, below is excerpts from John J Wall's "A Modest Proposal" ( a conservative favorite), and quotes from Adolf Hiltler

John J Wall:
"We'll keep our Judeo-Christian Values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClain. You can have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill. We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru Station Wagon you can find."
Adolf Hitler:
"As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."

John J Wall:
"You can give everyone healthcare, if you can find any practicing Doctors (that is practicing, Howard Dean) who will follow to your turf (sic). We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right."
Adolf Hitler:
"Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice"

John J Wall:
"We'll practice trickle down economics, and you can give trickle up poverty its best shot."
Adolf Hitler:
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. "

John J Wall:
"You can make nice with Iran, Palestine, and France, and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us."
Adolf Hitler:
"Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless. "

John J Wall:
"We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach The World To Sing, Kum Ba Ya, or We Are the World."
Adolf Hitler:
"I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few."

Other similarities exist. For Instance, you can't get a German to talk about Hitler as an admired part of their past any more than you can get a Conservative to admit that George W Bush was their great admired leader.

And where as Jews were vermin who took the bread out of the mouths of the German people, So the Democrats, are dirty filthy lazy hippies that live off welfare.

NOW! Imagine if the Germans had stopped Hitler before the fascists managed to take complete control of the country.

IT'S A GOOD THING WE STOPPED THIS IN THE NICK OF TIME !!

James| 10.1.09 @ 4:09PM

I don't think I'm a conservative but I now know, with complete certainty, that I am not a Liberal. I know this because, though I have no idea who John J. Wall is, I can not, for the life of me, see any connection or similarities between these quotes listed. If I were a Liberal I'd see Hitler in everyone who wasn't like me, and then I'd see this post as a conservative threat and compare it to Hitler somehow. I also know that saying that I am not a Liberal, in the eyes of a Liberal, automatically makes me a conservative, the enemy, hated, even though I may share some liberal ideals. I've never witnessed such blind, reactionary hatred towards another human being except from a Liberal when speaking about anyone who is not.

Kansas| 4.29.09 @ 4:58PM

Boris,
Had the current day liberals had their way when dealing w/ Hitler, they'd have invited him to tea and begged him to play nice... maybe even offered up the UK to pacify him.
regarding your quotes... some if not all are a stretch if your trying to draw similarities. You'd be better off comparing Obama's stance with that of Hitler: wanting to take guns from the citizens, nationalizing the auto industry (can you say Volkswagon?) I could go on, but I've got to go back to work so that left wingers like you can maintain your sit on the couch eat a twinkie and hate america lifestyle.

"Shebla| 4.28.09 @ 1:52PM

Actually, that the only criminal statute regulating the
destruction or defacement of U.S. currency requires fraudulent intent.
The statute itself is broader than simply banning the fraudulent
modification or attempt to pass defaced currency:

----------------------------------
Title 18 United States Code, Section 331

Whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes,
falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of
the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current
or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States;
or

Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells,
or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the
United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced,
mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened -

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five
years, or both

Margaret| 4.30.09 @ 10:10AM

AP, of all sources, published an article today stating that Obama lied about the deficit and his part in creating it. Pass this along.

Dan| 5.3.09 @ 1:43AM

Boris, your alleged similarities just don't work. Unfortunatley it usually takes longer to refute idiocy than it does to spew the foolishness being argued against.

But as a start I submit the following.

Fascism is left of center politically. Just barely to the right of Socialism, but still left of center.

As a conservative there are things about GW that I do admire. I do/did not agree with him on everything, but he will be remembered as a good President. (Leftist elitist historians not withstanding)

No to DRUGS| 10.30.09 @ 5:11PM

This was a very interesting video, I think that more people should be spending money on drug rehabs such as Narconon and helping people get out of the mess of drug addiction than paying money to companies that already have millions of dollars floating around.

Will everyone please stop insulting Jeffersonian liberals, such as myself, and call the socialists, Obama, any Kennedy, Boxer, etc, cloaking themselves in the liberal label what they really are.
Be polite people. Those words you're thinking shouldn't be spoken in public.

Andy| 11.22.10 @ 2:50AM

This is just silly! The President saved GM, Chrysler & others with large amounts already repaid. He has also gotten Bush's $787Billion TARP bank give-away almost repaid, where there wasn't a mechanism to do so. This election was t stolen it was people decided. The country after 8 years of President Clinton was in good shape, after 8 years of Bush it was a Mess! We now have 3,000,000 jobs back under this President after loosing 8,000,00 under Bush and and bankrupting the economic system.

Bush's biggest failure in his own words, not putting social security into Wall Street. $787Billion giveaway to the banks & SS tried also. That's the worlds biggest disappearance of money and facism where companies control government.

President Obama had much to repair and mistakes to undo. He's doing well. What was it like after President Clinton? How did Bush leave things? Enough said!

So government wants to oppress the poor, sick, elderly and disabled? Good luck. Here’s a reality check government officials: we placed our severely autistic son in a state run group home for 4 years. Within that 4 years, he became malnoursished, suffered numerous self abusive blows to his head and face, had to be hospitilizled and then sent HOME because state officals told us, “there is no place that can handle your autistic son.” SO, we have him back home. And the thanks we get for taking him back, though he’s over 18, and we don’t have to, is we get CUTS to the very funds keeping him SAFE and thriving in home for half the cost it kept to keep him in an out of home placement that couldnt’ help or protect him. Now that’s what I call insanity. Solution: create new laws tax codes, etc..for families WILLING to take their loved ones BACK home, so we can keep them safe and out of MORE costly ineffective out of home placments. DUH. It’s that simple. OUr son was estimated to cost california about 1 milllion a year when placed at Fairview Developmental Center, due to his 2 to 1 staffing needs 24 hours a day. He’s self injurious and has seizures. He requires constant round the clock protective supervision requiring 2 -3 staff to protect him when he’s punching himself in the face and head. So, go ahead Jerry Brown and all you myopic self-righteous fools who think you’re doing a great thing by “cutting services for in home suupports.” My God how ignorant could you possibly be? Apparently, you have NO flipping CLUE how this world ooperates outside your sheltered bubble. For the love of God do the right thing. Ensure that parents who are taking on the incredible burden of keeping adult children with disablities at HOME receive the adequate supports needed to keep these kids safe adn free from the abuse, neglect and mismanagement documented in 100′s of news media reports about placing them in out of home placments to the tune of 50% more than keeping them home.

Oh and Michelle Obama, I have lost ALL respect for this lady. She strikes me as yet another black woman who hates white people adn deeply resents anyone who isn't black.

IT'S JUST ALL ABOUT THEM. THEY JUST GETTING WHAT THEY WANT now AND TO HELL WTIH THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED HIM INTO OFFICE. SO TYPICAL
