As for me being an Obama drone...hardly I was and still am a Hillary girl. I warned my friends about several things in Obama's platform. However, would I vote for Sarah Palin....LOL.
So I will ask you directly....Is Barrack Obama an America citizen?

Stimulus seems to be working? Where in the heck do you find such evidence? I have noticed a push in the MSM to cheerlead a propaganda type recovery but the facts are rather dismal, to say the least. Some economists predict the economy may level off and hit bottom sometime in 2010. Unemployment has not peaked and may very well be over 10% by years end.
It seems the tone of the media depends who is in the White House. In 2003, when America was recovering from 9/11, the media continually beat the drums about a "jobless recovery" even though hundreds of thousands of jobs were being created. On top of that, unemployment figures were always punctuated with figures from the unemployed that fell off the radar. They would say that unemployment was actually 11-12%.
Well, here in 2009 the MSM never mentions the people whose unemployment checks have run out or the people who have stopped looking for work.
The figures now would be about 16-18% unemployed.
The moral of the story is take the MSM's "facts" with a grain of salt.
Imagine the headlines if a Republican was in the White House today?
