I'd teach the elderly to use youtube instead of read.

Get back to Barney, child. This is MA13.. so it's way above your level.

[Buckwheet]

I would put us in two massive war expenditures without paying for them.

Edit: I would buy a lot of shit without paying for it.

Excellent video.

I would encourage an income gap that destroys the middle class and leaves the richest among us above the law.

[Androidpk]

I would continue to vote for who mainstream media selects for me.

[Atlanteax]

I would insist on government provided (free) healthcare for all.

[Buckwheet]

I would just laugh and print more paper money when the credit card got turned off.

[Latrinsorm]

I would buy you a green dress.

But not a real green dress.

That's cruel.

In just 4 days it will have been a month since Obama's budget proposal got ZERO votes in the House.

In just 4 days it will have been a month since Obama's budget proposal got ZERO votes in the House.

So... you do realize that that budget proposal was sponsored by Republican Mick Mulvaney and then introduced as "the Obama budget" (even though all it had was the top and bottom numbers with no policy) and seen by every single person in Washington as a complete waste of time that he even made them all vote. I think I read about 10 op-eds from fucking Republicans that couldn't believe this douchebag made them all fucking spend their time voting down empty numbers for some weak political message.

I'd go look this up for you but for just fucking once I'd like one of you idiots to research something before you post it here like you know what you're talking about.

You are officially the fucking moron of the day! And that's something because Rocktar actually has been calling ClydeR as a "christian extremist" already this morning.

If I wanted America to fail, the top 10 things I would do, in no particular order..

1. Undertake military operations in Pakistan without first getting Pakistan's permission (http://in.reuters.com/article/2007/08/04/idINIndia-28811520070804),

2. Lend money to the auto industry instead of letting Detroit go bankrupt (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html) in the free market,

3. Make everybody buy their own health insurance instead of getting entirely free (http://www.epmonthly.com/whitecoat/2010/03/need-entirely-free-health-care-go-to-the-er/) health care at the emergency room,

4. Sign a law making employers pay women the same (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/30/us/politics/30ledbetter-web.html) as men,

5. Allow homosexuals in the military (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-obama-signs-repeal-dont-law/story?id=12457296#.T5g5k7P--FI),

6. Sign a financial reform law (http://money.cnn.com/2010/07/21/news/economy/obama_signs_wall_street_reform_bill/index.htm) that puts new regulations on bailed out Wall Street firms,

7. Bring our troops home from Iraq (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20123800-503544/obama-announces-end-of-iraq-war-troops-to-return-home-by-year-end/), abandoning the oil fields that we brought under our control during the Bush years,

8. Start an air war in Libya (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/10/where-is-mitt-romney-on-libya/),

9. Handicap our intelligence services by denying them the right to use enhanced interrogation (http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2009/01/21/the-end-of-torture.html) methods, and

10. Overhaul food safety laws (http://news.consumerreports.org/safety/2011/01/food-safety-modernization-act-gets-president-obamas-signature.html) that have been virtually unchanged and part of our national tradition since the 1930s.

Kudos on the work it took to actually link to 10 interesting and well-sourced articles.

Lulz.

I realize this will be futile, but could you explain exactly how this zero sum wealth game is played?

Last I checked, my well being doesn't take into account how much money Warren Buffett has or doesn't have.

[Parkbandit]

You are officially the fucking moron of the day!

Irony.

Oh, I thought we were just putting one liners with events and no context to paint something in a light we liked, like you did. Is that not what we were doing?

Buckwheet posted that he'd start two wars without paying for them (actually lowering taxes significantly during them!) and I posted the mission accomplished picture to assure him that those wars were actually over a long time ago (haha me, I'm pretty funny and awesome, etc.)

And then you compared a Republican representative introducing a farcical budget so that it can be voted down to our commander in chief staging a massive celebration on an aircraft carrier proclaiming victory in a war that is not over 9 years later.

In hindsight I guess we were all just posting examples of Republicans lying to us for political reasons.

Sounds like someone has been using Warriorbird's playbook on how to run with terribly poor inferences.

[Buckwheet]

I would tell the American people that we need to pull together and sacrifice to make the nation better while telling them how we do it is to ask for more handouts.

Would you tell them that while you were on vacation?

[Wrathbringer]

The first thing I'd do is work to convince everyone that capitalism has failed so that I could then implement a system like socialism which always fails.

mediamatters.org tells you that Democrats would never, ever lie to you, right?

[Buckwheet]

On Vacation? No. At a GSA summit? Hell yes.

At least PB and Squiggles agree.

Derp, derp, what?

It's been a while.. my leg was almost healed.
