Oct. 30 at 1:49 a.m. "I won't risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary," President Obama said at a naval air station. Isn't that a great statement, knowing we are getting our rear ends kicked in Afghanistan? Remember Korea and Vietnam? Secure our borders and keep out the immigrants. That will keep us safe.
Oct. 30 at 1:08 a.m. I am a federal employee. The president doesn't decide how much I get. Congress does that. The president proposes; Congress disposes. Learn your history. Better yet, learn your civics.
Oct. 29 at 6:26 a.m. There are children living in the White House and someone complains about their pet's birthday party? How petty and mean-spirited can you get? The Obamas are trying to raise their girls with as much normalcy as possible, but some people want to criticize everything they do.
Oct. 29 at 1:09 a.m. President Obama has had nine months to get up to speed on Afghanistan. He has needed two months and counting to make a decision while our troops are fighting. Obama's handpicked general says troops are needed now. I don't think it's too much to let Congress and voters have a month or two to study a health care bill before voting on it.
Oct. 28 at 6:43 a.m. The Congressional Budget Office says the health care overhaul will cost nearly $1 trillion and still leave 17 million Americans uninsured. Stop this madness now. Quit wasting time on an absurd quest to take over one-sixth of our economy.
Oct. 28 at 1:05 a.m. If you think the war is getting worse with all the bombings in all the places we are fighting — Afghanistan, Iraq, everywhere — just wait until President Obama pulls out of every place. It will be World War III, and the United States will be at the bottom of the pile.
Oct. 27 at 6:26 a.m. I've never had a problem with our government, but I've never seen such a power grab in just 10 months. If there isn't a crisis, the government makes up a crisis.
Oct. 27 at 1:05 a.m. What is going through President Obama's head? Why is he dragging his feet on sending troops to Afghanistan? I guess he doesn't have a son or daughter fighting there.
Oct. 26 at 1:16 a.m. If the government can tell Wall Street firms what their executives' pay will be since they took bailout money, what makes you think the government wouldn't control your life if you took any money from it? Big Brother is starting out very slowly, but it's here.
Oct. 26 at 1:06 a.m. What if the government made the mega-banks we bailed out reduce all credit card interest rates to, say, 10 percent, effective immediately? Then everyone who has had to live on his credit cards because of unemployment (or chronic consumerism) would have a prayer of repaying the debt. Wouldn't that be the same as banks repaying taxpayers?
Oct. 25 at 2:37 a.m. Only in Wichita would anyone think to criticize the president for attending his child's parent-teacher conference. Give me a break.
Oct. 25 at 12:06 a.m. Do you people realize how narcissistic and unreasonable it is for the president of the United States to say a major news organization is not a news organization because it's the only one that ever criticizes him?
Oct. 24 at 2:30 a.m. Remember when the media used to have a fit during the Bush economy when we lost 20,000 jobs in a month? Now we lose 600,000 and the media say, "No big deal, it's normal." No, it's not.
Oct. 24 at 12:09 a.m. Maybe you are tired of hearing people trash our president. I am tired of our president trashing my country.
Oct. 23 at 6:06 a.m. What's this? Democrats split over President Obama's health care joke? I guess a few of them can think.
Oct. 23 at 12:09 a.m. Remember when the Democrats and Republicans were working for the people who elected them and were about making our country stronger? Now they are about special interests, taxes, regulations. They want us to re- elect them so they can correct the mess they created. For the hardworking people, the enemy is the politicians.
Oct. 22 at 5:54 a.m. America: Where people believe vaccines are dangerous and guns are not.
Oct. 22 at 12:09 a.m. Did you hear the White House is going after Fox News because it does fact-checking? That's why I watch it.
Oct. 21 at 5:49 a.m. President Obama is going to parent-teacher conferences while soldiers die in Afghanistan. Can't Michelle do anything?
Oct. 21 at 12:09 a.m. Business economists predict that jobs won't bounce back for three years. President Obama says we are on the upswing. Is that only in his mind? I guess if he said it, it must be true.
