Look, we enjoy checking out hot guys in the steam room and whirlpool as much as anyone else, but come on…the financial markets are crumbling, other members of Congress were up all night and at work at the crack of dawn, while SoetorObama is at the Washington Sports Club this morning, screwing around instead of working to help solve this financial crisis.
There is a time and a place for hanging out at the gym — and that is always if Michael Phelps is anywhere in the vacinity, wearing little more than a wink and a smile.
Otherwise, when banks are folding and Wall Street’s melting, you should maybe skip the locker room antics and towel snapping for ONE DAY and go see what the rest of the Senate is doing to, uh, insert teleprompter here, SAVE THE FREE WORLD FROM ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.
And Phelps wasn’t even there!

Bailout Deal Breaks Down – Where’s Barack
http://alegrescorner.soapblox.net/showComment.do?commentId=18840
The meeting in the WH was extremely contentious. The Dems had a deal the Dems agreed upon but when the Rs saw what they were up to, they balked and then Harry Reid completely lost it and Franks blew a gasket. What the Dems had done was commit a huge chunk of the bailout to ACORN. Wow! That’s a group that has been investigated for vote fraud in 17 states, suspected of thuggery, organized crime, money laundering, criminal waste, you name it. Obama’s campaign gave over $800,000 to ACORN.
………………………
It appears that Obama and Pelosi are making sure that ACORN is taken care of before the people and their mortgages. GOT PORK? CHANGE=PORK HOPE=PORK FOR HIS ORG

Obama. he is not running to be President. he is runnning for the big house, the fancy jet and the fame.
He is not a hard worker like, Hill, Bill, Sarah and John McCain. there will be little spare time as President if he does his best. and he will need to spend his spare time with his kids not in the gym.

Housing ‘bailout’ contains millions in earmarks for leftist groups
Jim Brown – OneNewsNow – 8/11/2008 7:30:00 AMBookmark and Share
There’s more to the housing bailout measure than meets the eye, says a Minnesota lawmaker. She contends that members of Congress need to be called back to Washington to reverse the measure that, among other things, sends millions of taxpayer dollars to a radical illegal immigration advocacy group.
The housing package signed into law by President Bush extends an unlimited line of credit to troubled mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and rescues homeowners near or in foreclosure. The measure also increases the federal debt limit by another $800 billion — and sends millions of dollars in aid to La Raza and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, says she finds it “unconscionable” that the legislation included funding for the two groups, which serve as political action arms of the Democratic Party.
“At the same time that the American taxpayer was being asked to bail these companies out, Barney Frank, the chairman of the Financial Services Committee, instituted a sort of tax on Freddie and Fannie, and that tax goes into what’s called an affordable housing trust fund,” explains Bachmann. “It’s a really a taxpayer-subsidized housing fund, but that money will go to organizations like La Raza and…ACORN.” Both groups — “particularly ACORN,” says Bachmann — have been found to be involved in “activities where they have perpetrated voter fraud,” she contends.
Bachmann advises Congress to get back to Washington, stop the funding stream for ACORN and La Raza, and also get American taxpayers off the hook for bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

It will be a very sad day for this country if nobama is put into office. Notice I said..”put in?” The “demoncrats” want their little man in power and will stop at nothing to get him there. He will be at the gym or eating arugla while our lives go to he##. He does not have a clue. For someone that wrote in his book…”I will stand with the muslims ..should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Does that give us hope? Is this the change everyone has been waiting for?

I just can’t believe the spin that the Dems are putting on the meeting yesterday. Obama is so wrong in so many ways for this country, it’s just sickening.

We all remember the Presidential seal, we all remember the coronation of King Barack Obama at the Barakopolis in Denver but this latest manifestation of his cult of personality takes his insanity to a whole new level.
He has effectively declared himself the winner of the November 4th Presidential election, and has started issuing commemorative coins to key members of his campaign committee.
