Politically speaking

You never know he might like it several times.

You'll be glad to know that this moron has not only given up his running for office but has also been "asked" to leave his office and anyone who has ever had anything to do with the man has taken cover and won't admit to ever having anything to do with him.

There are a lot of idiots in politics, and it is a amazing as to the number that are dumfounded by the term rape, and like you said, maybe they ought to meet Bubba in cell block B that could educate them of the term.

Jon Stewart is one of the best at doing that. Phill Maher (sp?) is another one who's good at it.

Bill Maher is a real good one.

That's who I was thinking of.

Prince Phillip is not bad at foreign affairs, he has just been taught the wrong way in which to conduct foreign affairs and also who foreigners really are. Theres nothing wrong with unintentional racism.

Oh and Vermin Supreme should of won presidency, 'an honest friendly politician'!!.

I'm not even going into it but I will say that I'm glad to finally be able to see real commercials rather than political ones. Did I just say that?

dont really think its my place to discuss american politics when our own government and would be government are about as useful as a cock flavour lollypop.

only thing i will comment on is i hope that sarah palin has lost that smug look on her face now.

Enough is enough, grown up with 3 things that should never be talked about in public, 1)religion 2)politics 3)how much $$$ you make

Funny how most politicians had probably never heard of Eastleigh before the recent election. Now they're here in their droves, even the PM

Every day I have at least 1 person knocking on my door and 1 or 2 pushing 'vote for me' literature through it, with another 6 days to go until voting day it's wearing a bit thin now.

You should put a sign on the door that says 'Communist', atleast they will leave you alone or they might storm the door like they're the Tutonic order.

In a show of brilliance give the circumstances we have going here, the White House has stopped giving tours (which are arranged by going through your Congressman.) Just in case some of you have missed it, we have what they are calling "sequestered spending freezes" going on right now. Basically the feds have stopped spending money in certain areas until Congress can come up with a workable budget and not being able to pay the tours guides is one of those things not being paid for. In return, Congress has said that they will no longer be paying for the president's golf trips.

The whole thing sounds to me like 2 kids on a playground fighting over the last apple but besides that what an utter waste of time on both parties part. Don't even get me started on what it costs to take a president golfing, that's a whole other discussion.

To top all this off, most of the people getting hurt by this spending freeze are small businesses and the military, many of whom will not have work or be getting paid until someone decides to step up and resolve the whole mess.... but these same Congress people who can't feckin sit down and work these things out decided to give themselves another pay raise and curiously, they will still be getting paid for not doing their job. I should be so lucky.

Now I don't get into politics at all but I heard an announcer on a sports radio show yesterday (of all places) come up with the best resolution for all of this. If they are in office now, come next election, vote for anyone but them. Hell a good portion of our debt could have been taken care of with what these bastards spent on the presidential election ffs!!!

Rant over, thank you for listening.

Vermin Supreme for president!

I though the President got a congressmans wage not something higher but im guessing the trips cost soo much because of Air Force 1.

Actually he make more (salary) than Congress, neither group is really suffering poverty though.

The president earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment. The most recent raise in salary was approved by Congress and President Bill Clinton in 1999 and went into effect in 2001.

They aren't supposed to be doing it for the money and what I have there is just his salary, Mr. Obama makes far more than that from his investment income and various other things.
