Thoughts and prayers go out to the family, but what really gets me is why we are still in Afghanistan. The idiot Bush got us in there to preserve profits by building an oil pipeline almost the length of the country, and Obama keeps us there. This has been the new Vietnam for a while except people in America don't care because they have the attention spans of a gnat on red bull. Maybe if Charlie Sheen or Snooki tweeted that we should get out of Afghanistan, the American people would give a hoot and go after these corrupt politicians in office. Is that an oxymoron? Corrupt politicians? No, wait, that's military intelligence. Just think, if these government leaders were not worried about the profits from oil, maybe this young man would still be alive. This entire process starts with YOU, the American people making an effort to not be so dependent on fossil fuels. Make a push for mass transit. It's the only way we are going to start to turn around the State of Georgia.

Not Bush. The idiot Obama.. Big tax. No jobs. No schools. No money. Foreclosures. Homeless? Don't vote Obama. But why?

#14.1.1 Do your homework... on 04/04/11 at 10:26 PM

Bush built a castle on a foundation of sand. False profits, earnings reports. Clinton's fault too. It is not solely Obama's fault. Not saying he's any better, believe me, he's not. But the whole system is to blame. There's too much money being stuffed in the pockets of politicians by special interests.
You say "Big Tax", so eloquently, like Tonto from the The Lone Ranger. But taxes are rising because of things like a failed Social Security System.
"No Schools" - Do you remember No Child Left Behind? Terrible Idea. I was a teacher in that system.
And for the record, I support the Fair Tax.

Obama's fault. Lost jobs, Gas prices, and Big Tax. $14 trillion dollars. He don't fix. Lazy Obama.
