The idea is that when the KGB officer sees how cool Obama is, he will get Russia to support many of the U.S. initiatives around the world.

Don’t Laugh. If that strategy fooled the Republicans, it might work on the Russians, too.

Or, maybe he is so NOT one of the little people, so he doesn’t have to pay tax. I like your solution.</p> That is a fantastic idea, so include the Cabinet and WH staff as well, + add in the Veep.

President Obama should direct the Internal Revenue Service to audit every individual who served in either house of the US Congress over the last five years.

The amount found in unpaid taxes would more than offset the stimulus package.

Problem solved.

I asked one troll on my blog to list out all the devastating things President Obama has done in the last two weeks that had serious consequences on our lives. So far all I’ve gotten is crickets chirping and a, “but his appointments!”. Laughable!</p> Good morning Ms. Marion! ;-) And yes, anyone saying at this point that President Obama sucks after being on the job for 2 weeks is being ridiculous, especially knowing 8 years of the Bush Regime has catapulted our nation into a Depression (in more ways than one!).

Apparently, it was fine when American contractors were stealing BILLIONS in taxpayer money, oh but when a Democrat doesn’t pay his or her taxes, it’s treason! Unfreakingbelievable.
