Amazing how he wanted to fk with social security to save money,but for this mess,he keeps burning money.I think that would of been a better sell if he had stopped this throw away(1st.)People who get social security usually put it right back into the economy.Who knows where this money for the war is going to.There is no stopping this waste of money until this damn idiot is gone.He said he was going in to get WMD. They didn't have them,or they moved them. Saddam was offed.Mission accomplished.Get the fk out (you idiot.)

i wonder if people said that after Ford?!

i'm looking forward to the next one as well. i think that's why they started announcing candidacies so early, to take our minds off the current admin...
