Someone obviously did a nickel in chino for stealing hubcaps.
When I was 8 I thought the phrase "tire iron" referred to hubcaps and could not figure out why the criminals in the novelization of Knightfall were wailing on people with hubcaps, they seemed totally unwieldy even for a cowardly and superstitious lot.
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.

Congratulations Mr. P... you may not have told as many whoppers of lies as other former Presidents but you will definitely go down in history as a liar who lies about his lies.Lying About Lies: Why Credibility Matters to Obama
The president is trying to reinvent the history of his you-can-keep-it promise on health care.
It might not seem possible that President Obama could do more harm to his credibility and the public's faith in government than misleading Americans about health insurance reform. But he can. The president is now misleading the public about his deception.
In a speech Monday night to his political team, Obama said: "Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn't changed since the law passed."
No, no, no, no, no--that's not what the Obama administration said. What it said was:
"That means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what." – President Obama, speech to the American Medical Association, June 15, 2009, during the debate over health insurance reform.
"And if you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you. It hasn't happened yet. It won't happen in the future." – Obama, remarks in Portland, Ore., April 1, 2010, after the bill was signed into law.
These quotes are courtesy of Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler, who gave Obama four Pinocchios for the you-can-keep-it whopper, repeated countless times by Obama. "The president's statements were sweeping and unequivocal—and made both before and after the bill became law," Kessler wrote. "The White House now cites technicalities to avoid admitting that he went too far in his repeated pledge, which, after all, is one of the most famous statements of his presidency."
What Obama told supporters Monday is what he should have told the public all along. "So we wrote into the Affordable Care Act, you're grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it, then what we're saying is they've got to change it to a higher standard. They've got to make it better, they've got to improve the quality of the plan they are selling," Obama said at an Organizing for Action event. "That's part of the promise that we made too. That's why we went out of our way to make sure that the law allowed for grandfathering."
"If we had allowed these old plans to be downgraded, or sold to new enrollees once the law had already passed, then we would have broken an even more important promise--making sure Americans gain access to health care that doesn't leave them one illness away from financial ruin," Obama said Monday. "The bottom line is that we are making the insurance market better for everybody and that's the right thing to do."

Half the country voted for him, I was not one of them either. People once they get the entitlements they don't want to give them up. Like the person said, "if I took a full time job, I would be taking a pay cut." With that type of mentality its no wonder we are in this position.
Look at the heat Germany is taking for having a trade surplus, that is what makes a country strong. But in this world we all need to be the same.

Yeah but if the person took a full time job, he/she could have some self-respect. But such things seem to be out-of-style with a lot of people.
I'm not against welfare per se as a temporary measure (I realize things can happen in life), but for many people there needs to be a time limit.

Speaking in Virginia on behalf of gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli, Sen. Marco Rubio said that the Virginia governor race is a referendum on Obamacare. And right now Cuccinelli is ahead!
"This is the first election in America since the full impact of ObamaCare has been felt," said Rubio, who is weighing a presidential bid in 2016. “The whole country is waiting for your choice."

NBC has called it for McAuliffe, CNN is holding out, and FOX is talking about the Presidents job approval rating.

And CNN has now called it for MaCauliffe with Fox bitching about textbooks that apparently explain Islam but don't give Christianity equal time. Did FOX get out of the election business after screwing up 2012 so badly?
