&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When asked for her opinion, Secretary of State Clinton commented: &amp;ldquo;Well, certainly no one can deny that the America women who join this Government program will be well served.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;President Obama has appointed former President Bill Clinton to the newly created post of &amp;ldquo;Virginity Czar of the United States of America.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; In announcing the appointment, President Obama said: &amp;ldquo;There are millions of women in this Country who are sick and tired of virginity, but have had no way out other than committed and often complicated relationships.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now, finally, thanks to the kind of &amp;ldquo;Change&amp;rdquo; I promised, these women can rest easy knowing that their Government will stand behind them, or astride them, or whatever.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I chose former President Clinton for this strenuous job because of his often-demonstrated skills in this area&amp;rdquo;, Obama said. &amp;ldquo;I was particularly impressed by the Blow by Blow accounts of his flight home with the two very grateful young women he helped free from North Korea. The beaming smile on the former President&amp;rsquo;s face as he stepped off the plane told the story for the whole world to see.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When asked for her opinion, Secretary of State Clinton commented: &amp;ldquo;Well, certainly no one can deny that the America women who join this Government program will be well served.&amp;nbsp; Given his many years of experience at this type of &amp;ldquo;Government Service&amp;rdquo;, I&amp;rsquo;m sure Bill will &amp;ldquo;Raise the Bar&amp;rdquo;, so to speak!&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A spokesman for the Administration announced that, while the new department had a generous budget giving it the opportunity to set up a nationwide operation, former President Clinton has vowed to save the taxpayers many millions of dollars by meeting the servicing requests of American women personally! &amp;ldquo;I know it will be hard&amp;rdquo;, said Clinton, &amp;ldquo;but you can rest assured that I will rise to the occasion. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Virgins of America, rejoice: Bill Clinton is riding to your rescue!&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;However, Clinton did warn that a program of this magnitude would probably result in some rationing. Woman over 60, for example, would experience considerable delays while waiting for their servicing requests to be granted, while women in their 20&amp;rsquo;s or 30&amp;rsquo;s would receive priority &amp;ldquo;treatment&amp;rdquo;. Teenagers, according to the former President, would receive immediate servicing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In closing, President Obama made clear that this type of activity is nothing new for the Government, and that, in fact, it had been going on for generations. &amp;ldquo;When you stop to think about it&amp;rdquo;, Obama said, &amp;ldquo;This is exactly what the Government has been doing to taxpayers for a very long time. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only real change is that what was done &amp;ldquo;Figuratively&amp;rdquo; in the past, will now be done &amp;ldquo;Literally&amp;rdquo;!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that is really &amp;ldquo;Change you can believe in!!!&amp;rdquo;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt"&gt;200 days in and still blaming Bush for what the democrats did.&amp;nbsp; tisk, tisk.&amp;nbsp; 200 days into Obama's socialist reign and what surprises me is that he hasn't totally ruined the country yet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With all the czars, I would say Obama is clicking along at a record pace. No vetting process, no messy congress to deal with, what constitution?&amp;nbsp; Who needs that?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While the Dems dance, Patriots everywhere will deal the Dems a death blow in 2010.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Visibility like the Health care bill?&amp;nbsp; What a joke.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The gutting of the old dead wood Republicans was long overdue.&amp;nbsp; Just look at the overflow crowds at the Clark County Republican Party meetings.&amp;nbsp; Standing room only.&amp;nbsp; The only fringe left is the one on the American Battle Flag we pledge to.&amp;nbsp; Ya,&amp;nbsp; Real Americans still do that.&amp;nbsp; We don't pledge shit to Obama,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fight waste... oh wow, what a unique idea!&amp;nbsp; Hasn't every administration said they were going to do that?&amp;nbsp; Give me a break,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wonder if he has taken a look at recovery.gov.&amp;nbsp; I mean really taken a good look.&amp;nbsp; I doubt it.&amp;nbsp; The way this administration is spending billions and unemployment it still on the rise?&amp;nbsp; It don't take a genius to understand that the money would be much better spent if it was left in the hands of the small businesses and working people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pay as you go?&amp;nbsp; I guess that is why Obama has increased the National Debt more than all the prior administrations put together.&amp;nbsp; Good work!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama sure has signed a lot of stuff!&amp;nbsp; So how much good has it done?&amp;nbsp; There will still be the occasional $500 toilet seat and the $1000 hammer.&amp;nbsp; Does this man still believe in the Easter bunny?&amp;nbsp; Just because Superman said "Stop It," did all the bad guys suddenly stop robbing banks and trying to make off with Lois Lane?&amp;nbsp; Maybe Obama needs a magic wand he can wave around.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess if Obama next appoints a skinhead member of the KKK next, that will be ok too.&amp;nbsp; Just to keep things in balance you understand.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I could go on and on... but talking to an Obamabot is like banging your head against a wall.&amp;nbsp; It feels so good when I stop.&amp;nbsp; LMAO&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Wouldn't it be easier to just take them out and shoot them? (well, shoot them before they take all our guns away that is)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It would be a lot easier moving to Russia, China, Venezuela, or some other Socialist paradise than trying to take the United States there.&amp;nbsp; If I were him, I would make his reservations for Cuba now, rather than to wait for the rush in 2010 when the "fringe" takes over.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Dear President Obama:&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expen sive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Lou Pritchett&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; background: white"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;I don't know why the Jewish community, which by and large voted Democrat in the last presidential election, hasn't begun to get the picture yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; background: white"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;President Obama for whatever reason (I think it's the influence of his mentor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright) leans against Israel in Middle East issues. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; background: white"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;Time and time again we've seen hints of this bias, from nuke power for Iran to snubbing Israel on a recent Middle East trip. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; background: white"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;I know that you do not combat racism by hateful language, some of which is a throwback to the days of 'Zionism equals racism'; or supports the idea that we have made too much of the Holocaust; or suggests that apartheid exists in Israel; or that singles out only one country in the world, Israel, for censure and abuse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; background: white"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;You should wonder why our commander-in-chief is an anti-Semite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Did you know that if we want to change insurance plans we will be forced to accept this Universal Health Care? But as long as you do not change the plan you are on at this time you can keep the medical plan you have. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;When you retire you are screwed. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;You think Medicare is bad well just look this up on the internet, if you are over 65 and find out you have cancer, no medical treatment for you. They just cut you off. For those of you that are close to retirement, have elderly parents, be prepared to loose them much earlier then you expected and to die younger then you thought. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;After 65 there will be no medical care, no surgery to remove cancer nothing to help prolong your life. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Universal Health Care Program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;FINALLY...THE $50,000 QUESTION WAS ASKED !!!!!.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;YESTERDAY ON THE "ABC. OBAMA SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE"......OBAMA WAS ASKED:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;"MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW "UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM" THAT THE&amp;nbsp;REST OF US WILL BE ON ????.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND DIDN'T ANSWER IT !!!.....A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THERE RESPONSE WAS...WE WILL&amp;nbsp;THINK ABOUT IT !!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;IT WAS ALSO ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE "KENNEDY HEALTH CARE&amp;nbsp;BILL"....HAS WRITTEN INTO IT THAT CONGRESS WILL BE EXEMPT FROM THIS GREAT HEALTH CARE PLAN)..EXEMPT !!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;HOW ABOUT THOSE APPLES.....NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA OR CONGRESS....BUT "OK" FOR THE REST OF US ????????&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;WE....THE AMERICANS NEED TO STOP THIS ...ASAP !!!!.... AND REVOLT...THIS IS WRONG !!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;----------------------------------&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SOCIAL SECURITY:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our Senators and Congresswomen&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #c20000"&gt;do not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&amp;nbsp;pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;persons of their rare elevation in society&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;. They&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&amp;nbsp;felt they should have a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;special plan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&amp;nbsp;for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;own&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;benefit plan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For all practical purposes their plan works like this:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments...&lt;span style="color: #c20000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275, 000..00 during the last years of their lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Younger Dignitaries&lt;span style="color: #c20000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their cost for this excellent plan is&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;$0.00&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;. NADA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #004080"&gt;!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;! ZILCH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #004080"&gt;!!!&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;You and I pick up the tab for this plan&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From our own Social Security Plan,&amp;nbsp;which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire&amp;nbsp;(which amount is matched by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #004080"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;our employer),&amp;nbsp;We can expect to get an average of&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red"&gt;$1,000 per month&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #004080"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red"&gt;after retirement.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #603181"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That change would be to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #c20000"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen.. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #008250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then sit back.....&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;And see how fast they would fix it!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;
