President Obama's train ride

The North American Free Trade Agreement took effect on January 1, 1994 which was Billy Clinton's rein of terror. This is when everything started. Like Ross Perot said, pass it and there will be a 'gaint sucking sound' as jobs and companies head out of the Country. As scary as that man was, he was right.

I wouldn't hold your breath on him keeping his word, he's already back peddling on some of his promises saying he won't be able to do everything he promised during the electoin. Thanks to the media he won, hopfully it won't take to long for America to know they screwed up and dump him!

Blame never fall on the ground. In center and south America when a politician steal money everybody knows it, because money is so scarce; Here, there is so much money that every body steal and no body knows about it. Florida said that if gas prices keep going down they will rise the taxes 50%, now are we going to get out of this mess or we going all the way around again.

On prohibition time the people on the big cities they used to love the gansters becouse they used to move the money around and prosperity was in the hands of all. Well here we are going all the way around again. Where is our future President power came from "CHICAGO". :evil:

Try 30 years. The GOP has been screwing up the USA from Congress since Reagan. Maybe now we can begin to rebuild the USA and undo some of the business-is-god nonsense that has depleted both our economy and our stature in the world. It's time to be more than a bit protectionist about this country. No more "outsource to China b/c they can build it cheaper" crap, b/c do the prices for those cheaper goods match in dropping? Not a chance.

Made in China, made the jobs go away.

Ditto for these "free trade" agreements with Mexico, where we send them our jobs... And they only send back their unwanted excess citizens.

Time for some regulation to watch over the commerce to ensure a fair playing field. Without regulation, "the market" would have you paying $50 for a bag of ice during a disaster... And would you think that is fair? They do, since they have your money.

Shows what you know about Reagan. A great President. You can thank him for ending the cold war that the Democrats started. He had the guts to do something about it instead of holding daisies.

Remember ya all, before this goes much farther. There is a reason why politics and religion are not discussed in his forum. There are millions of forums and blogs to discuss your personal beliefs. The OP had a legitimate question, that although it does include a political figure, does not in itself discuss politics. Lets keep the Rights vs. Lefts out of the conversation.

I also don't think you get within a 1000 yards of Amtrak One, but...

Back to the popcorn.

He will be the most heavily guarded politician ever. Colin Powell would have made a great President, but he was afriad that the first black president would be assinated so he refused to run. Thats to bad, I thought he would have been a great choice.

I don't have a CRD but I would join you if I could. Remember people, no one political party has done the good things or all the bad things in this country. There are good people in both parties as well as bad people in both.

Somewhere, a grade school English teacher has just realized which of his/her students consistently slept thru class.

In a nut shell, the dems balance the budget and the reps keep us safe. Too bad there isn't a happy medium.

FYI: some people here emigrated from countries where schools taught the cultural language, offering English as a not even respected 2nd or third course - in some cases, even the letters and digits would be unrecognizable to those from English-speaking countries - most of those emigrants still think, speak, and write in their native language - thus, writing in English can be more of a challenge than speaking it, even moreso than that posed for the illiterate English-languaged American redneck, and therefore should not be taken as shining example of any educational background, or lack thereof

Word up, eh..............

Right after he was declared the winner, people in Chicago were surprised to see the Secrete Service with Very Well Maintained Automatic Weapons shoved in their faces when they drove by the Obama house when he was there.
Secret Service security is another reason I fly out of Midway, Air Force One a Boeing 747 has to land and take off at O'Hare.
Even though I never voted for Obama, he is President and Secret Service has to do their job. Best thing I can do is stay out of their way.
To me Obama is another Chicago Politician who has to prove otherwise.

I've always heard it as the Dems are like Mom's, always the givers, more relaxed on the rules, wanting to comfort you all the time.

Reps are like Dad's, stern inforcers, the ones to go to when there's trouble and you need protection.

And yes there are good and bad in both parties..

"Word" my rear, screw being politically correct. IMHO, far better that someone is honest with them here, as far as their grammatical and essay writing abilities needing improvement, than for them to suffer and find out the hard way - ie, being rejected by one prospective employer after another for poor language skills, being stuck with only low-paying jobs.

Far more company HR reps than you would think will toss an application/resume in the trash upon the first grammatical error they spot - some will automatically toss them in the round file without even a glance if they're more than one page.

There were 11 kids each in my mother and father's families, that grew up in rural NC during the Depression. So I have quite a few relatives that are classic American redneck. And over the years, most of the legal immigrants that I've encountered speak and write the Queen's language far better than some of my relatives do, in some cases better than myself.

This thread has gotten way "off track", so I'm locking it.

Please remember that this is a Jeep forum where we come to escape from all the craziness in the world. Political threads and personal attacks are not welcomed here.

kcfoxie: Good luck in finding a spot and let us know what happens.
