    Trump: Obama's Presidency May Be Greatest Scam In History of USA

    Nothing like The Donald draging up this issue just as more of America is actually paying attention to what its elected officials are doing. The repubs just seem to find a way to demonstrate to the general public over and over again that they have trouble representing a majority of the public...

    Holy UBS Batman!!

    I do find it interesting the number of posters on this board that see spending on social program a complete waste of money BUT see the bailout of BCS as a necessary evil. I guess it all comes down to if a particual goverment subsidy is in your group's personal interest. The attempted...
