  1. That it is a lie. Poltifact, and snopes are trustworthy factcheckers. Both say she could have said a number of things, since it is lip reading and that is not 100%. Some of the top ones are "Its amazing how they fold that flag." "How pretty they fold that flag" and "I wonder if they flew that flag"

    I've never noted a person making a polite comment while grimacing and nodding is disdain, then again, I'm only 32, maybe if I lived another thousand years I can witness it. Shrug.

    I mean seriously, at this point you're just arguing semantics. The comment, whatever she said, has little to nothing to do with the fact that Obama is and will remain, a below average president. I don't care what facts, numbers, blog posts you shove at me, it doesn't change my opinion. Please re-read my post, the little disclaimer I put at the top of it.

  2. Ford to answer the part of your post that address the economy, yes we are better off the now where 4 days ago. I had a long drawn out conversation with my family about this, but the key points are. 1. The GDP is growing, 2. Adding 100,000 job a a month rather then losing 800,000 a month. 3. Unemployment is no longer skyrocketing up there, but is coming down, again slowly, however it is still grim. 4. The Private Sector is growing, again slowly but at least it is growing. 5. Government spending is deceasing. Basically the economy is recovering, just not as fast as people (especially Obama) had hoped.

    And to be honest, as soon as the Republicans stated their sole job is going to ensure Obama is a one term president, it started to become their fault, because they will do anything to make sure of that. Including rejecting bills that will improve the economy, since a bad economy is good for the Republicans. It makes Obama look bad.

    As for the flag, that is one picture taken during the National Anthem, which isn't a requirement to place your hand over your heart, I was taught to only place my hand over my heart for the Pledge, and stand respectfully and sing for the Anthem, so there really isn't a set way. Also he does put his hand over his heart for the Pledge, so maybe he was told the same thing. As long as he is respectful I couldn't care less.

    As for Ms. Obama's "All this for a damn flag" I'll leave this here http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/st...lag-first-lady/

  3. *DISCLAIMER*

    This is all my opinion, not backed by facts, but my own logical reasoning.

    Why I feel Obama is bad for our country.

    Where do I begin?

    Fingerpointing.... Let's start there. When Bill Clinton took office, we were ending a war with Iraq. The unemployment rates were high, not high by todays standards, but high nonetheless. Did he blame Bush or did he fix the problem? He lowered the unemployment rates, created millions of jobs, stimulated the economy, and did it all while banging anything with two legs that walked in his office. What he didn't do was blame his failures on Republicans, and yes, he also had a minority house while he was in office. Obama has blamed blamed blamed everyone who is a republican, even though he had a majority house when he took office. Sure the economy was on a downward trend when he took office, did he fix it or is it worse now than it was 4 years ago?

    I think common sense answers that.

    Unemployement rates are higher than ever in history, we are in debt so far my great great great grandchildren will be paying for it, yet we threw billions at failing companies, failed green energy programs, and "Obamacare".

    If you honestly think this is all because of George Bush? I'm a democrat and I can honestly tell you, you need to get out of the gene pool if that is your logical thought process. Did Bush screw up? Of course he did, but no worse than Carter, Nixon, Ford, or Johnson to name a few.

    Finger pointing aside, he is a very poor American in general. I don't mean the birth certificate bs, or the fact his parents aren't both American, I simply mean he doesn't represent to me what an American President should behave like. I posted the Picture of him not crossing his heart during the national anthem. He has done that on more than one occasion, as well as during the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. It's a damn pledge to be allegiant to our flag and what it stands for. Loyalty to our country. Freedom from tyranny, freedom from oppression, freedom on it's own. Millions of American men and women have fought and died for that flag and he doesn't have the patriotism to show respect to it? To Quote him, "I don't see the point in it." I won't even get into his wife and the famous "All this for a flag" comment during his inauguration.

    I seriously get angry just thinking about this. My Father, both grandfathers, uncles, cousins, a nephew, two aunts, and a brother have all gone to war for this country.

    He has ruined our foreign policies with countless nations, and that actually is a fact, google it.

    Is Mitt Romney the answer to all these problems? Probably not, but I refuse to give this talking pair of clown shoes four more years to dig our country into an even deeper hole than we are currently sinking in.

    Just listen to him the next time you hear him give a speech, actually listen to him.

    And remember, this is coming from a democrat.

    Maybe I'll start writing in Bill Clinton as my vote....

    I am more than willing to debate any of your opinions on this matter, these again were just my personal feelings on Obama as a man and a president.

  4. I was referring to the person who put up that website, not you, relax cupcake. No need for fact checkers, he has done so on several occasions, that picture just epitomizes the point.

    He did in fact raise his hand, about 15 second into the national anthem, no doubt after someone whispered in his earpiece he probably should.

  5. The ticking is the sound of your hard drive not spooling up. I had the same issue with one of mine. I would recommend copying whatever you want to save off of it while you have it booted up, because it will fail soon.

    Mine towards the end wouldn't boot if I turned my pc off and tried to turn it back on. I would have to let it sit for a few hours sometimes before it would reboot, of it rebooted at all that is.

    Mine was a western digital 1tb caviar black. I'm not sure what brand you have, but it sounds like the exact same issue. A really hard clicking, almost like someone flicking a light switch on and off.

  6. I think apple screwed the pooch with the iphone 5.

    A new adapter, which you have to buy separately? Anything to make money I guess.

    True the os is better and the retina display is okay, to small of a screen to notice much of a change from the screen on the 4. Yes I have seen them side by side.

    I'll stick with my gs3. Better customization, bigger screen, expandable memory, pretty fast processor.

    I do have the new iPad and a macbook so I'm not knocking apple products, just wasn't impressed with the 5. Maybe I dont have enough wool.

  7. So I'm hoping I'm leveled out on my zerker by october 18th. That is when the new character is released, the Mechromancer, a female character named Gaige. She has a floating robot pet named death trap, which I assume is akin to clap trap.

  8. Damn, that shield has ridiculous stats! I'm level 24, and my shield only has like 1050 capacity.

    Add to that the 1730 shield cap I get from my class mod and the +31% shield recharge rate.

    When you add in the additional 5.2% shield cap from my badass stats as well, it's closer to 7500, with a recharge rate of 1345.

    The best thing is the nova blast though, it ticks for 6500 fire dmg every second until the shields recharge. I'm pretty sure it kills just as much stuff as i do with my guns lol.

  9. So apparently if you to tip Moxxi, somewhere between 15 and 20k, she gives you a nice purple smg. I was tipping her trying to get a trophy for the ps3 and she said something like here take this gun at around 16k in tips.
