WHAT A  MORON...................................

     That is  right.    He is OUR  president.    Sleep well  tonight.    Our media is soooooo corrupt!!!      <ATT00001.jpg>    

When Obama  stopped in at Master Lock in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last week, he was  walking the plant and stopped to talk with a plant employee and  looked up at the banner hanging on the wall and said to the worker  and people around him, "It is great to be in a union shop,  especially one as old as this union is " - - - - pointing to the  banner. He then said, "A Union shop since 1848" - - - and then he  went on to talk on what that banner stood for and how important it  was to display it and show your union  support.
    

The worker then  said to Obama that it was the flag of the State of Wisconsin - -  which was founded in 1848, and that the shop was Non-Union.This was  only reported by a local radio station in Milwaukee (1130AM) and not  by the major news networks - - - they didn't want to embarrass this  "got no friggin' clue"  President!
    

Since they  didn't do their job of reporting on this presidential visit, the  only way for the news to get around is by us - on the Internet. The  White House media said he skipped Wisconsin & just went to Minn  & Chicago.
  
    

Do your job; I  just did mine, so voters will know what really happened here and  just HOW BRIGHT THIS PRESIDENT REALLY IS !!!???  NOT!!

(Note from me: No you didn't! http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/starbucks.asp Like the cake, this story's a lie!)

 

 

WON'T BE DRINKING STARBUCKS ANYMORE...

Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted  to let them know how much they liked their coffees and to  request that they send some of it to the troops there.

Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their  support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support  the war,NOR ANYONE IN IT, and that they would not send the  troops their brand of coffee.

 

So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them  by buying any of their products! I feel we should get this out  in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some  folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the  ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house.

 

If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can  discard it and no one will ever know.

 

Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there  again when I deploy once more.

 

Semper Fidelis.

Also, don't forget that when the TwinTradeTowers were hit the  fire fighters and rescue workers went to Starbucks because it  was close by for water for the survivors and workers and  Starbucks charged them!!

 

JUST A NOTE TO THIS; STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY  BASES IN

THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE  OF THIS.

 

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS. ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY  OF 

ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO  CHOOSE 

TO SUPPORT THEM OR NOT!! !

Note from me: some of the wording is true the overall sentiment? Well, that's up to you to decide.  http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/benefit.asp

SOCIAL SECURITY NOW CALLED 'FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENT' /ENTITLEMENT! Have you noticed, your Social Security check is now referred to as a "federal benefit payment"?     I'll be part of the one percent, to forward this, our government gets away with way too much in all areas of our lives, while they live lavishly on their grossly overpaid incomes! KEEP passing THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS READ IT.....     SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CALCULATION IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY COLLECTED THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!! WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?????????????     This was sent to me, I am forwarding it because it does touch a nerve in me.     This is another example of what Rick Perry called "TREASON in high places" !!! Get angry and pass this on!     Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500.     If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the government pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.     If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.     The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had.     Entitlement my butt, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!     Congressional benefits ---- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement entitlements?     We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless.     In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey . And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!     Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!     They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.     Sad isn't it?     99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.     I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did.
