    No ONE person can save us all! That responsibility lays on us. We must save ourselves.

    @(HOMER) Simpson- I believe President Obama can, we just have to get rid of the dead weight called the GOP.

    The USA's economy will not recover completely until (1) the aspiration to great wealth is no longer viewed as immoral, and (2) graduates of mediocre and poor universities stop expecting their master's degrees and doctorates to get them "positions." Many "highly educated" young citizens today cannot distinguish between "may" and "might," or "terrorist and terrorists." To add a 15% tip to a restaurant check, they need a calculator, but they introduce themselves as "Doctor Blank."

    @Joey or the wealthy just hire? CNN says they have the profits, they are not hiring. When I see that they're not hiring because they are not getting the benefits, it sickens me. If a few can manipulate the stock market, it should tell us something. Our piddly amounts we put in mean nothing.

      @ Scottish Mama, with affection:
      You add 20%? Isn't that really because you are a capitalist show-off? That's not PC at all.
      You know I'm joking.

    @Joey- NOT even in their league. lol Just a supporter of the people who take care me, and try to make up for the people who tip them $1., thinking that waiters and waitresses make good money. I have heard that the people that make alot of money are usually shoddy tippers. lol

    Married men should forget their mistakes. There is no need for two people to remember the same thing.
