How was the speech Obama gave today on the economy related to "Hope"?
You would have thought it was the first day of the apocalypse from what he said. Lots of dramatics that would have gotten Bush burned at the stake. Oh well Barney Frank is steering the economy now, I feel better.
4 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhich one of these statements on firearms scares you the most?
A - ‘‘The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected peoples to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non ["something essential" lit. "without which not"] for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police.’’
-- Adolph Hitler, Edict of March 18, 1938
B - ‘‘Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State.’’
— Heinrich Himmler
C - ‘‘When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ...... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.’’
— Bill Clinton, 3-22-94

He lacks the willpower to beat a nicotine addiction.
Very evasive about it also.

To all you people that are going to say "I smoke, what's the big deal"
the question is not about you and if you have guilt regarding your addiction, there is no need to vent that guilt here.

4 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs Democratic control of the White House, the Senate and House of Representatives a good thing?
It would allow Obama, Reid and Pelosi to do anything they want with this country. No checks and balances at all.
