People deserve very good life time and loans or student loan will make it better. Because freedom is based on money.

@ Injuntarian: While it is the OFFICIAL, CONSTITUTIONAL duty of Congress to create & pass legislation for the President to sign into Law (or veto), it has been common enough for a very long time for Presidents to use the “Bully Pulpit” to get things done (i.e., pass bills into law). This can take the form of just dropping hints in public (i.e., to the Media), which would be “Bully Pulpit Lite”, or go whole hog by drafting legislation entirely, announcing it to the Media, and then basically DARING Congress NOT to pass it… which would be the Bully Pulpit Full Monty. In any case, the bills must be introduced and passed in both houses of Congress, and then go to the President for his signature, REGARDLESS who the actual original author or scrivener might be…

Got that? There WILL be a test… Oh, yeah… great ‘toon Chip!!

You’d think that Obama believes that health care was written into the constitution.

Excellent point, as usual, sir. Has anyone in the media questioned whether it is Constitutional for the Executive Branch to write Legislation? Isn’t that a function of the Legislative Branch and the Executive has the authority to either accept or reject legislation placed on the desk inside the Oval Office? Perhaps I’m confused as to the separation of powers. Please, somebody enlighten me.

Hey Chip,

I like your yesterday-day. Using Diogenes as the prototyp of a spender is very funny. I had a laugh!

Cheers from around the World

I guess that there’s no reason to write the essay topic by own efforts! For me, it would be more comfortable to buy the good term paper at the paper writing service, because that saves free time.

I realize you are a staunch conservative, but can’t you see that unlimited spending from corporations is not a good thing?
This ruling is not about free speech, it is about being able to buy politicians who are already corrupt.
This ruling is a setback for real individuals, and I do not consider a corporation to be an individual.
Obama is telling them to their face, not hiding behind rhetoric or political doubletalk. When Cheney did that you praised him. What’s different here?
Stay conservative, but get rid of the double standard.

Chip- This can’t be our mouthpiece-in chief! I don’t see the teleprompters.

Did you see Obama’s speech last week to a classroom of 6th graders? Yes, he had his twin teleprompters set up.

(*cough*) With all due respect to you and your sons, I would call your attention to the dice shown just below the (*cough*) “Presidential” figure… three-plus-five=eight is clearly incorrect, as American taxpayers have obviously rolled SNAKE-EYES with this administration!
