No, we don't take "assignments" from you, we make you work for us.

You don't pay for your golf, your father-in-law does.

Sometimes he claims hes a treadmill salesman, which obviously isn't doing to well if hes making 22k a year. But then he goes and makes fun of some guy in another thread for failing at running his own business because he works everyday of the week. I am coming to the conclusion he has some sort of bi-polar in him. Either that, or he's just a compulsive liar who will say anything to back up his argument.

My vote is for the compulsive liar

I really don't see what Obama has to do with this at all, really anyone who thinks he has something to do with this either negative or positive is living a bit of a fantasy. The fact that anyone thinks Obama or any president has actually done something in regards to this is based on some kind of fantasy. I would argue that every president including Obama has widened the gap between rich and poor regardless of anything they have said or done. The belief that either the Republicans or the Democrats are working to serve in our interest being the greater delusion.
