What the media agencies have deliberately avoided talking about is the fact that Obama could've spent millions LESS by paying off all the individual debts instead of handing truckloads of cash to the creditors so their executives could buy boats and BMWs.

but who are the bastards to someone like you? 
i really do not want to go look it up, but it does sound like
, perhaps they meant for each taxpayer?
ps: I am thinking now, oh shit
not each American?
still, its all vile hideous amounts and these people in government mostly deserve death
ok, back not thinking again, but that was close there
your list is a good start and to it I would personally have to add some people I once revered:
*
career NCOs, they are the backbone of armed forces and the always act as if they are being "professional" and non-political by basically always following orders
no matter how unjust the war, or the orders they are given and give to the rest of us
if its even possible to be a "good soldier" which I do not know if it is anymore
then orders must be(gulp) questioned sometimes
it really, really, sickens me, especially when I see the cycle seemingly continuing on and on and on forever because they will not just stop!
Just say for once:
"No sir."
It takes practice but it can be done.
erm, ok Preggers, my post was inspired by my own military service and those of others who I am more and more coming to knowYou're full of it. The job of a soldier is not to think, but to obey. What the hell kind of Army would one have if everyone was off doing their own thing and making their own decisions?
That said, the manner in which an Army is used is critical. I'm not saying I agree with the way the American military has been used recently, or ever, but an Army full of independent thinkers isn't an army, it's a rabble.
The Army is a great life for certain types of people. I'm not one of them. This was quickly realized in my first week of ROTC.
I grew up as the child of a career NCO, and at the mercy of the Pentagon's whims, and I respect the Army and its soldiers for what it is. I don't have to like it or want to be a part of it to respect it.
erm, ok Preggers, my post was inspired by my own military service and those of others who I am more and more coming to know
and you are right, I am advocating the current army becoming little more than rabble
the war machine as it stands now is rarely being used to "defend us"
and more and more soldiers(including now former NCOs) are coming to believe this
a lot of these guys are getting dishonorable discharges for not wanting to go on their 3 or 4th tour of combat duty! and its just wrong
one of the things the army most uses to justify this is that they make it very hard for you to justify changing your status to that of conscientious objector
after you have been in combat
this is completely backward, many NCOs agree, Obama could help change this, but he simply does not care
I am going to try to not say anymore on this issue, it is a deeply personal one for me
