That's great, but isn't this a sports betting forum?

[reno cool]

It's hard to tell who any of this help.
I believe the Iraq strategy has been constant overall. They're not leaving until puppet govt is secure. plus they're pushin the Afghanistan war.
I don't know how he's insuring 4 million children but he needs to push for universal health care. Hopefully by disbanding insurance companies. (of course not going to happen)
Tax cuts are pretty insignificant for poor families. They need to raise the standard deduction by like 150%, or do a sales tax.
The foreclosure thing ain't worth much either. Will just help banks collect $ they would never see otherwise. And it's too late for many. Basically you need to be a lawyer or businessman to benefit from any of this.
Obama may be better than the Republicans but he'd have to go a long way to be a hero.
Probably the best thing he is doing is taking what appears to be a respectful stance towards foreign countries. Which will hopefully lead to fewer future senseless wars.

[Mudcat]

Plus he knows how to pronounce nuclear.

There hasn't been any tax cuts. All that has happened is they have lowered the withholdings. Tax rate has not changed. Just not taking out as much so it will owed come April 15, 2010.

Obama has done a great job so far.

Has an exit strategy for a trillion dollar war some drunk asshole started.

Has sent much needed troops to Afghanistan.

Has restarted stem cell research.

Has saved Wall Street from collapse.... DOW up over 8100.

Has improved our standing in the world.

You know he's doing a great job when neonitwits hate him as much as they hated Clinton.

OBAMA

Even if you, yourself were in office this would have happened as well. Obama is an actor.

Jobs saved or created - 3.5 million

We've lost 2 million jobs since Hussein took Office

Tax Relief - 95% of workers and families receive tax cuts

Nobody has gotten a tax cut. Hussein will raise your taxes by allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire and imposing cap and trade.

Health Care - extended heath coverage for 4 million uninsured children

Who will pay for this?

Housing - foreclosure prevention package that helps 9 million home owners

LOL

You get forwarded to shyster lawyers who want to scam you.

Leftist indoctrination programs funded by the taxpayers.

Clean Energy - economic recovery package doubles the amount of renewable energy produced in the next three years through financial support for alternative energy companies, renewable energy tax credits, and $2.5 billion for research and development of alternative energy sources

There will be no cost effective renewable energy produced.

Fair Pay - The bill gives working women across the country a powerful tool to fight unequal pay by extending the statute of limitations on suits against companies accused of pay and other workplace discrimination

Women get equal pay. Just sucking up to the loser hags.

Iraq - fulfilled a campaign promise by setting a date for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq

And what's that date? He really has about the same policy as Bush with regards to Iraq. There was certain to be talk of a draw down in troops as Iraq became stabilized. This would have happened regardless of who was elected.

There hasn't been any tax cuts. All that has happened is they have lowered the withholdings. Tax rate has not changed. Just not taking out as much so it will owed come April 15, 2010.

This is incorrect. You are getting an interest free loan by having less withheld now rather than waiting till 2010 to get a tax refund.

[obama our lord]

Obama has done a great job so far.

Of ruining America permanently

Has an exit strategy for a trillion dollar war some drunk asshole started.

Did you start a war somewhere

Has sent much needed troops to Afghanistan.

That's niceHope he remains serious about the war on terror. Oh wait, there is no war on terror anymore.

Has restarted stem cell research.

Stem cell research was never stopped. Bush put a moratorium on the use of public funded EMBRYONIC stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have never been proven useful for research anyway.

Has saved Wall Street from collapse.... DOW up over 8100.

It was over 9000 when he took Office.

Has improved our standing in the world.

You know he's doing a great job when neonitwits hate him as much as they hated Clinton.

By sucking up to tyrants and trashing America while overseas?

Pavy, if according to the tax table you owe more than they have withheld, you will have to pay.

[obama our lord]

You mean "less," but I could do the same thing myself if I wanted, too. Obama is giving me nothing.

[pavyracer]

Pavy, if according to the tax table you owe more than they have withheld, you will have to pay.

That means you are not calculating correctly how many dependents you have if they withhold less than you owe?

I mean if you are married and have one child but your payroll is withholding for 6 dependents you will get a bigger paycheck (less withholding) but you have to pay the difference when you file taxes if they haven't withheld enough. This is assuming your only income is from payroll (no capital gains from stocks, rental income, etc).

[pavyracer]

You mean "less," but I could do the same thing myself if I wanted, too. Obama is giving me nothing.

correct less. thanks

[BadNina]

Pavy, the withholding table changed this year. The amounts for whatever withholding status have been lowered but the tax rate has not changed. Even if you claim single with zero dependants, they are withholding less because the withholding table has changed. You have the same job as last year with the same withholdings and the same rate of pay right now your check will reflect a higher net pay due to federal withholdings being less. But the tax rate for the year has not changed.

"intentions are like bungholes...everyone has got them"

This is all pep-rally campaign crap that has not nor will come to fruition.

Funniest line I ever heard...in his election night victory speech, two months before he was even inaugurated, Obama says, "It may take us more than one term to dig out of this hole". LOL
