    “Under my plan electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” -- Barack Obama, explaining his plan to harm middle class and poor families.

    Let's assume for a moment that you didn't butcher the quote this time, which is a very dubious assumption given your history.

    You still took it out of context, intentionally leaving out what he expects the benefits of his plan to be.

    That's admitting a drawback to a plan that also has benefits, not wishing ill on people. Again, you fail. Please, just quit. You are only embarrassing yourself further.

    Most of us don't consider crashing the economy to be a benefit. You, on the other hand, apparently do.

    Learn to read, tony. You included the part of the plan where he admits a drawback and left out the reason for doing it.

    That's the funny thing about reality, tony. Sometimes you have to give in one area to gain in another.

    Again, give us a quote where he actually wishes ill on this country. All you are doing so far is proving that you can't do it and you are exactly what I say you are. A Republican fanboy who cares nothing about this country and would rather see it fail than succeed with a Democrat in the White House.

    The modern-day Greeks (and really all of southern Europe) have shown us how the movie ends when you ignore warnings an economic catastrophe is right on your doorstep.
    When you give speeches instead of acting.
    Instead of leading.
    (And speeches, I might add, the ancient Greeks would have mocked.)
    These Greeks, our Greeks, have shown us what happens when you treat government funds like a water fountain.
    You get economic ruin and fully a fifth of your workforce unemployed.
    We're headed down that road.
    Modern-day Greece didn't become a shitshow overnight.
    I will look at the situation soberly.
    You keep your head up your rectum.

    Fart Boy, quit interrupting.
    Tony is getting his ass kicked again.

    And, anyway, Greece tanked because its hard push for austerity failed badly.

    I was answering the rude and ignorant schmuck who questioned my patriotism on the last page.
    What's between you and Tony is between you and Tony.
    Why does dissent bother you lot so much?
    Does it scare you that some people like some things ... and other people like other things?
    Why do we all have to like this president to be valid?

    Greece tanked because austerity didn't work.
    There was no water fountain of government funds.

    You were the one who interrupted, fart boy. But you always have had problems with facts.

    I'd love to fight you.
    For real, just put on the gloves and see who's better.
    Put me on ignore or get the fuck out of my hair.

    I'm sorry, fart boy. Who exactly gave you the delusion that you get to dictate things around here. You need to get over that notion.

    I don't use the button. I think it's childish and cowardly to do so.
