Joe Biden

Try coming up here to Syracuse (me), Rochester, or Buffalo and say that. Seriously! If you're watching these games on television in NYC I honestly don't think you experience the pain nearly as much as we do up here.

Obama = 129 "Present" Votes and a teleprompter.

Good research, Lou. But seriously, that's just me and my posts. David Letterman both referring to Palin as a slut and Palin's daughter getting knocked up by NY Yankee Derek Jeter just proves Democrats have sex on their mind when it comes to Sarah Palin. The joke writers knew exactly what they were looking for when they came up with those lines. "Call me if you need me." Barack Obama (minus his teleprompter, obviously)

"Call me if you need me." Obama = I have absolutely NO idea what is going on and where is my teleprompter.

Hi, everyone! I thought I'd dust this post off and bump it up. This team ain't goin' nowhere for years. Unless they move!!

I think it's all related to sex. David Letterman wants to boink her. Men Democrats want to boink her. Women Democrats are jealous of her because she's a babe that their husbands want to boink.

Simplyt post an article relating to Sarah Palin and the left goes absolutely wild with uncontrolled hatred for her. There was an article in the NY Times on Friday re: her book and there were about 10 pages of comments within a matter of an hour. And the comments were mean, cruel, vicious, catty, brutal, offensive, ruthless, bitter, bigoted, venomous, just downright intense hate for her. And they weren't commenting on her book. They just were letting loose on Sarah Palin as a person. Could someone please explain why? I've never seen such uncontrolled passionate hate for someone in politics, sports, media, etc. I didn't vote for Obama or McCain. I voted for Bob Bahr simply because I always vote for 3rd party Presidential candidates. Voting for McCain or Obama was a complete waste of your vote here in New York State because Obama was going to win New York anyhow. Sarah Palin was a state governor. Alaska is a small state population wise but she was still the governor. That's more than Obama has ever done. And if you say that Sarah Palin was unqualified to be VP bear in mind the following: 1. Barack Obama's experience prior to becoming President of the United States included 129 "Present" Votes in the Illinois State Legislature and not much in the US Senate. Obama's handlers wouldn't let him speak without his teleprompter. In the Democratic primaries what Obama had going for him was that he WASN'T Hillary Clinton. Too many Democrats wanted nothing to do with the Clintons. Quite a few "uhh" and "ahh" responses from Obama in the primaries debates, too. He had no idea what to say. During the financial markets meltdown of October 2008 when Obama didn't have his teleprompter in front of him he said to a group of reporters regarding the problem (while waving his cell phone) "call me if you need me." Now, to me that statement underscored just how unqualified Obama was to be President. He had no idea what the F was happening. At least McCain was somewhat involved in trying to understand/resolve the situation. It was later learned that no one, in fact, ever called Obama because no one needed him. His handlers did everything. 2. Obama's VP running mate Joe Biden made a complete jackass out of himself every time he opened his mouth. FDR watching TV in 1929 when there was no TV at the time he wasn't the President at the time, etc. There wasn't just one time. 3. Democrat Princess Caroline Kennedy made a complete fool of herself trying for the selection by Governor Paterson to fill Hillary Clinton's seat in the US Senate. "Um, I, uh, uh, you know." Unbelievable how completely inept Princess Caroline really is. Worse, she doesn't even bother to vote in her local elections. Just goes to show you that a lifetime surrounded by nannies, tutors, and co-authors does for a Kennedy. The whole family are a bunch of dolts! Regarding the hatred that Democrats and the left have toward Palin, I honestly think it's related to sex. Your ideas?

Nothing changes for the Buffalo Bills as long as Ralph Wilson is the team owner. Nothing. Period!

Stupid Question: Why would a woman need abortion insurance? I mean, how many abortions does the average woman receive?

RW will bring in another T.O. or Drew Bledsoe during the off-season and fans will go crazy with (purchasing $) excitement. And another 7-9 season will be in the future.

Post of the day winner! Seriously!!

You and me both! About 10 years ago I felt a huge migraine coming on. I was physically and emotionally exhausted from them. So, I took six (6) aspirin. If I died, I didn't care. I just couldn't take the pain any longer. I put two (2) under my tongue, two (2) on top of my tongue and one (1) on each side of my mouth between the cheek and gum. It tasted disgusting but it really put a big dent in the pain that the migraine brought. Shocking your system with six (6) quickly dissolving aspirin works!

I have faith in US business owners, too. But the jobs will come back - overseas! Even if our exports are supposed to be more competitive.

That's all fine-and-well for the Investor Class. But what about the unemployed? Looking at worsening unemployment numbers every month? With a backdrop of incompetent President Obama and the incompetent Democrats putting us into deeper and deeper debt via another incompetent broken government-option agency disguised as health care reform? Unemployed, with no prospects. America going into deeper debt. And world finance ministers believing that the US dollar is on its way to being almost worthless! "Change We Can Believe In" Bummer!

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/business...tml?_r=1&hp Dow Hits High for Year as Dollar Weakens Article Tools Sponsored By By JAVIER C. HERNANDEZ Published: November 9, 2009 The Dow raced out of the gate on Monday and ended the day at highs for the year. But along the way, the dollar weakened, and as a result, prices for commodities like gold continued to rise. Shares on all three continents rose after finance ministers said over the weekend that they would push ahead with efforts to revive economic growth through interest rates and increased government spending. The Dow Jones industrial average ended the day more than 200 points higher. At the same time, the ministers offered no assurance that they would take steps to support the dollar. That weakened the currency, and the dollar fell to $1.50 against the euro, the first time it has reached that threshold since late October. In turn, gold rose to record levels, hitting $1,105.20 an ounce. Last week, it climbed nearly 5 percent, buoyed by news that India had bought 200 tons of gold from the International Monetary Fund. Oil also rose, settling $2.02 higher at $79.45 a barrel. “Economic and financial conditions have improved following our coordinated response to the crisis,” said a statement from the finance ministers of the Group of 20, comprising the world’s wealthiest nations, who met over the weekend in St. Andrews, Scotland. “However, the recovery is uneven and remains dependent on policy support.” Brian Dolan, chief currency strategist for Forex.com, said the silence from the G-20 finance ministers on the dollar turned a grim prognosis even bleaker. Mr. Dolan said investors were abandoning the (dollar) currency because of low interest rates in the United States and concern that its deficits would continue to swell. “A lot of it is sentiment-driven and there the dollar is getting a vote of no confidence,” Mr. Dolan said. “The massive borrowing by the U.S. government is undermining confidence in the longer-term outlook for the dollar.” Investors appeared to be directing their focus to riskier equities and turning away from the currency markets. The dollar is considered a low-yield investment, given the historically low interest rates in the United States. Last week, the Federal Reserve gave no indication that it planned to raise interest rates anytime soon, leaving investors to reroute their funds toward the stock market, oil and gold. While the faltering dollar will make imports more expensive for American consumers, it will also make American exports more competitive overseas. The G-20 finance ministers said they were concerned by rising unemployment, even as the broader economy strengthens. In the United States, the unemployment rate reached a 26-year high of 10.2 percent in October, surprising economists and investors. At the close, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 203.52 points, or 2 percent — its highest level in a year, beating the previous record on Oct. 21. The Standard and Poor’s 500-stock index was up 23.78 points, or 2.2 percent, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index was up 41.62 points or 1.97 percent. The rally was broad-based, led by financial companies as well as industrial, chemical and mining stocks. Shares of the General Electric Company rose 3.5 percent after reports that G.E. and the Comcast Corporation had agreed to value NBC Universal at about $30 billion as the companies discuss a joint venture. Shares of Citigroup were up 2.7 percent while Bank of America rose 4.7 percent and Wells Fargo rose 4.2 percent. M. Jake Dollarhide, chief executive of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Okla., attributed the gains overall to a renewed appetite for risk. “When you have zero percent inflation, zero percent interest rates, zero percent money markets rates, and when you have metals and gold that have skyrocketed to astronomical levels, stocks look pretty good in comparison,” he said. Overseas markets were also up. The FTSE 100 in Britain closed 1.8 percent higher, the CAC 40 in France was up 2.1 percent, and the DAX in Germany was 2.4 percent higher. Overnight, the Nikkei average in Japan closed 0.2 percent higher, and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong climbed 1.7 percent.

Worse, the Jets, Patriots, and Dolphins are improving. Each team has a decent head coach and QB. We will be LAST in the AFC East for the next few seasons, at least.

The Dolphins-Patriots game is on right now. NE is leading 24-17 late in the 4th quarter. This game, coupled with the Jets and their new quarterback Sanchez and head coach Ryan proves one thing: The Buffalo Bills will be in LAST place in the AFC East for at least the next 2 to 3 years. Period.

http://www.gouverneurtimes.com/index.php?o...&Itemid=175 Owens Breaks 4 Campaign Promises in first hour in Congress Northern NY News Written by Nathan Barker Friday, 06 November 2009 12:04 GOUVERNEUR, NY - Congressman-elect Bill Owens was sworn in at noon today. Owens indicated in a press release released shortly afterwards that he was now in favor of the the "Affordable Healthcare for America Act" bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during the election campaign. According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that he felt the public option had no place in the health care reform bill. Contrary to that position, Mr. Owens now indicates that he intends to vote in favor of the bill even though it now contains a public option. UPDATED: A spokesman for Congressman Owens indicated correctly that Mr. Owens had recanted his solid position against public option later in the campaign, clarifying that he did not wish public option to be a 'litmus test' for the Health Reform bill and that on Oct. 30th, several days prior to the election, in a debate had stated that he generally supported the public option as it was now written (at that time.) Mr. Owens also indicated during his campaign that he was firmly opposed to cutting Medicare benefits, taxing health care benefits, and increased taxes on the middle class in any way as you can see clearly in the screenshot below, taken directly from Mr. Owens' campaign website. The House Health reform bill contains sections that cut Medicare benefits, tax existing health care benefits, and increases taxes on the middle class, yet Mr. Owens stated today that he will now vote in favor of those things contrary to what he had promised the voters of NY's 23rd Congressional District that he would vote against. Mr. Owens indicated in his press release today that "This legislation will reform the insurance industry and provide increased access to affordable healthcare without taxing healthcare benefits, cutting Medicare benefits or raising taxes on the middle class, and that is exactly the direction we need to go." When The Gouverneur Times attempted to contact Mr. Owens to clarify this information, we received no direct response to our phone or email inquiries. Both FactCheck.org and the Congressional Budget Office agree that HR 3962 contains potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in planned cuts to Medicare, yet Mr. Owens indicates that he supports this legislation and says that it does not cut Medicare benefits. Either Mr. Owens has been snowed or the public is about to be. HR 3962 also includes a range of various taxes on middle-class families as well as language to repeal tax relief already in place. Has Congressman Owens blindly followed Ms. Pelosi's rhetoric in believing that the end to a tax cut is not the same thing as an increase in taxes or is he hedging his bet with very carefully chosen words? HR 3962 now also contains language that allows illegal immigrants to be covered under the legislation. When The Gouverneur Times attempted to contact Mr. Owens for clarification of this language, we received no response other than the press release heretofore mentioned. Specifically, we asked if illegal immigrants would be forced to purchase healthcare insurance as citizens will be and whether or not they would be forced to do so at standard rates or if they would qualify for the public option subsidy. The Associated Press said this morning that: "House leaders said that, in keeping with the Hispanic Caucus' demands, there was not likely to be any prohibition added to the House bill against illegal immigrants shopping in the exchange." In a speech made to Congress a short time ago, President Obama had stated that the bill would not contain support for illegal immigrants - a statement for which he was called a "liar" by Rep. Joe Wilson. Rep. Wilson was severely chastised for his comment at the time though it would now seem to be true. The mixed-up mess that was the 23rd Congressional District Special Election was a close race between Democrat Bill Owens and Conservative Doug Hoffman. Many feel that it was unlikely Mr. Owens would have won those crucial few thousand votes if the voting public was aware of his intent with regard to the Health Care bill. The majority of residents in this district do not support the Health Reform bill as it is now written and many feel like they've become victims of a fraud perpetrated by their chosen candidate. Breaking campaign promises is not unusual for politicians... it's a cliche. This is almost certainly a record though. Mr. Owens broke no less than 4 promises in his first 24 hours in office.

I just don't understand the posters (you) on this board. It's clear that team owner Ralph Wilson is only interested in putting a marginal product on the field because fans pay to see anyhow. Ralph is making money. That's all he's interested in, I hope you all know that. If you go to the comments sections of the Rochester D & C and the Buffalo News the posters there get it! They constantly bash Ralph Wilson. But not here. Here posters actually debate how good players are and which coaches are good & bad - as if those things actually matter. Weird!

Well, I for one am going to be proactive. I'm headed down to the city parks here in Syracuse, looking for a nice spot to build my Obamaville-Syracuse wooden shack. National bankruptcy here we come!

Nothing changes for the Buffalo Bills as long as cheap Ralph Wilson is the team owner. Nothing. Period!

Obama health care plan = USA bankruptcy!
