Surprise! Social Security does not add to the debt and the only part of medicare that adds to the debt is the drugs portion that was added by Bush to be a government supplement for drug companies. History shows us that Democrats have done a better job of balancing the budget than any Republican president for the last 50 years, possibly longer - didn't research further back. Most of the debt for which the right want to blame Obama is actually the interest on the debt run up under Reagan and the two Bushes and the residual cost of the Iraq war. You do remember the "weapons of mass destruction" lie and the "Sadam is working with the Al-Qaeda" lie. Even doctored CIA reports to convince Congress to give him the authority to use force if Sadam did not allow the inspectors inspect. The inspections were working, many weapons were destroyed. Inspectors were still working when Bush forced them out proclaiming that Sadam is not sufficiently cooperative and started a war, a very expensive war causing the deaths of more Americans based on his lies than died in the twin towers.
That's really funny from someone that supports the party that wants bigger tax cuts for the wealthy, shifting the tax burden onto the "working class" and away from the "Leisure Class". While O'Reilly implies that the wealthy would pay 49% of their income (which miraculously began half of their income), he is misleading you. The actual budget lists this as a taxation of 49% only on income exceeding $1 Billion (that is with a B) http://grijalva.house.gov/uploads/Executive%20Summary%20FINAL.pdf. Consider also that people in these brackets have a significant part of their income as capital gain, which would only be taxed a maximum of 20% under this proposal, and in some cases lower. As for his claim for good education from one nun and 60 kids, he obviously is lacking in math ability. He also ignores the fact that motivation is the number one element of education. Some parents are able to motivate their children, for others it takes a teacher that has the time to get to know each student and use more personal methods to motivate that child. Most liberals are "Working Class". They are not jealous - just want the system to me more fair for all.
He doesn't drive a limousine. My research turned up an article on his Lexus Hybrid that he drives. Since the article was not written yesterday, he might own a different one now. I have no doubt that a man in his position probably frequently rides in a limousine. I found no indication of him owning one.
As usual, just a bunch of insults from those that still think Mitt was a viable choice for president. Remember him and his "The rich need more tax breaks, take away from the poor" policies? Then such absurd insults like the cars they drive - Obama and Clinton do not drive. The vehicle in which they ride is provided by secret service, Al Gore owns a hybrid. Of course they don't drive total electric cars, that would require a 100 mile long drop cord! Then we have Jack that wants to emphasize the one failure in a program that otherwise has been successful. Then I want to question why anyone would not desire to have cleaner air. What is so appealing about continuing to pollute the air we breath?
Thank you, FordGalaxy, for explaining the point to NewsReader. I see he now understands and agrees with it. I think he doesn't grasp what I say because he is distracted by my icon> I wonder if it is the grin or the folded hands that upset him.
The link I gave is from the Gwinnett County web site. This notice begins
"It shall be unlawful for any person to carry to or to possess or have under such person’s control while within a school safety zone or at a school building, school function, or on school property or on a bus or other transportation furnished by the school, any weapon or explosive compound."
You should note that their are no exceptions for time. If it is only a "lecture-based class" with no demonstrations, it would have been more effective to post it on the internet where it would reach many more people and not wasted county resources. Have it at a gun range and then people can get a feel for the guns. and actually practice what is taught.

Hilarious! Do they know about the law? Are they teaching gun safety without any guns for demonstration or are they going to pay the fines? http://www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us/gcps-mainweb01.nsf/6043E9184B8AECA285256D9D00704532/$file/WeaponsNotice.pdf
