Nah, just not responding to nonsense post.
White House magic creditcard?
Spending taxpayers money for fun. Montly peons wages on shoes one afternoon and soon after a yearly income on a dinner... but get tired and have the food thrown away.
Then go shop jewels for a few more yearly incomes of some hardworking taxpayer.
Nothing but a 4 year shopping spree at the peoples expence.
That is what the "white house magic creditcard" refers to. Shopping all day long, and no need to ever pay it. Leave it for the studpid taxpayers that are ending up homeless and unemployed in tent-favelas by the millions.

Evidence?
Formal state dinners are expensive, but part of the job. Security is expensive, but required. Beyond that... Evidence is needed.

Plenty of newsstories about those excesses shopping trips for dresses and whatnot.

What has he DONE to DESERVE a second term?
Amongst many other things, work to dig the economy out of the huge hole caused by the GFC.
Makes one wonder what he could have done if had inherited an economy that was in a much better state ......
Or what the economy would be like today if McCain and Palin had got in.

Barack Obama is a single-digit millionaire, mostly off the back of his best-selling books. When Michelle Obama spends money, it's her own family's money. Stop reading the National Enquirer, it is rotting your brain.

Here's a couple handy lists of successes and failures.
I'd vote for Pinkie Pie. She's a member of every party.
Bronies are awful.

When I was a very tiny child, they caught me sticking my finger in the electrical socket. (In those days, they had not yet invented all the safety gadgets and protective devices they have for children in the house now.) I said, "ouch!" yanked my finger away, looked at it, then stuck it back in again. Or so they tell me.
"Ouch!" Again my finger went in, and the process was repeated.
Of course, they stopped me. But later, when nobody was looking, I did it again. They stopped me, but I did it again.
Eventually, though, I matured, and grew more wise, and realized that it was really a stupid thing to keep starting political threads on a gaming website, as they always end with not a single person persuaded away from his views, and half of everybody furious at half of everybody else, with no discernible differences from one thread to the next, and nothing but chaos and anger produced.
Wait. I mean, I grew up and stopped sticking my finger in sockets. Because the outcome is always the same. And never good.

He's not Romney. I consider myself an independent, and I'm not happy with lots of stuff the Democratic party has done (or failed to do) in the past. But holy cow has the Republican party gone full crazy. They're courting the crazy and the ignorant and it does a disservice to the reasonable, intelligent members of the party.

Sure they couldn't be bothered ending homelessness in the first term...
Face it, the Republicans will destroy America if they are elected. Vote Obama and save America!

I think yellowdingo likes sticking his finger in electrical sockets.

Burying the lead here. She's an accomplished professional. Before her husband's ambitions hijacked 4+ years of her life, she could afford to buy dresses with her own money.
Look, I'm all for cutting down on frivolous expenditure, I really am, but if there were republicans in office today they would make the case that you can't have the wife of the most powerful man in the world dressing like trash, it undermines the projection of American power.
But, and this goes for me too, how effin' broken is the entire thing if this is what we discuss? Actual policy and issues are buried so deep that even relatively informed people (sadly that is us) barely even know what to discuss. We're given easily digested metaphors — Marie Antionette's spending habits — instead of any issue that, if changed, would make an iota of difference in american life.
You could give the first lady the electric chair for spending 10¢ of the taxpayer's money, and it wouldn't change a damn thing about this country.

Does it really matter who wins?
Both sides are bought and paid for by the same companies (such as Goldman Sachs).
Both sides are going to do the exact same s@#~. The republicans do it with a dickish smirk, while the democrats do it with an "I feel your pain" look. Your going to get screwed either way, does it really matter if it is red or blue?

First, their ecconomic polies, while similar, are not the same.
Second, the parties are completely different on social issues. I care more about descrimination against my friends in the law than I do about the economy. And that is if I even thought the Republicans had the better ecconomic plan, which I don't.
