I'll tell you what people need to hear, one of these days:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Obama will not speak to you tonight. His time is up. I have taken it over.
"You were to hear a report on the world crisis. That is exactly what you are going to hear.
"For twelve years, you have been asking,
"'Who is John Galt?'
"THIS IS JOHN GALT SPEAKING."

TOP TEN LIST - ONLY IN AMERICA
1) Only in America
could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.
2) Only in America
could people claim that the government still discriminates against
black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney
General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black. 12% of the
population is black.
3) Only in America
could we have had the two people most responsible for our tax code,
Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel
who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats
who are in favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America
can we have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the
media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the
backlash.
5) Only in America
would we make people who want to legally become
American citizens wait for years
could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.

5) Only in America
would we make people who want to legally become
in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the
privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country
illegally obtain a quick "path" to American citizenship.
6) Only in America
could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by
the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."
7) Only in America
could you need to present a photo ID to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8) Only in America
could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies
are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return
on equity invested in a major U.S. oil
company (Marathon Oil) is less than half that of a company making
tennis shoes -- Nike!
9) Only in America
could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than
any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than
it has per year for total spending of $7 million PER
MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.
10) Only in America
could the rich who pay over 70% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their "fair share"by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.
