Detroit councilwoman to Obama: We voted for you, now bail us out

"Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that," said Watson. "Of course, not just that, but why not After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. He came home with some bacon. That's what you do."

This is just the start.

LOL....REAL BIG surprise.

'What someone else can do for me'........

Hey, Gerald Ford bailed out NYC to avoid a financial collapse.



Too bad her name doesn't rhyme with Oyd Ankfein or Amy Imon. She'd have a much better chance.

JFK must be rolling on his grave when he sees where "Democrats" have taken cities like Detroit...

IKE would also be appalled at how Reagan Conks have set back the clocks on diversity and ending poverty - dividing the nation racially and economically for personal gain and greed.

Obama has cornered the market on these...

[Chizzang]

It is appalling - that's true...
But is it any different than when GW got elected and bailed out Halliburton and Exxon Mobil..?
Isn't that how American Politics works..?

Muti-billion dollar no contest bids and an endless supply of unmonitored funding
9 Billion was simply "lost" as in - they couldn't find it...

Henry Waxman, Chairman of committee on oversight:
"The money that's gone into waste, fraud and abuse under these contracts is just so outrageous, it's egregious. It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history."

In excess of 100's of Billions wasted / lost / stolen / misappropriated...

Yeah... lets pretend it's only just now happening (in Detroit)

I think this is asking too much.

Halliburton and Exxon are producers.

Don't you work for defense contractor?

You fucks are the biggest welfare whores in the history of our nation.

Not all of us. Some of us are helping the Gov't reevaluate it's spending and managing and have been quite successful in that regard.

That is an honorable goal my friend...

Bull shit. Its a drop of water in an ocean. You pieces of shit have fleeced the nation for trillions of dollars that could have been used not to kill people.

I can't believe you posted that.

We don't live in a Utopian society. We have enemies and we have to ensure that people are safe. Sure, the country should spend less on Defense and we shouldn't be the World Police but there are contracting companies that provide a great service and it doesn't involve killing people. Don't be so naive.

Ike was more progressive than Obama on may key issues. And I realize how much that notion has to hurt, so I'm sorry.

That woman is the 21st century Taker Welfare Queen.

Not at all, because we all know what he did to Adlai Stevenson who was the true "progressive".

Every conk on this board would hate...hate someone with Ike's record and policies today. Probably Reagan too.

Very funny, but who said you need to tell the truth to be humorous...

You do have a point though. Donks idolize JFK as a leftist hero, but the facts are he was a right-wing wacko.

Modern conks would nominate Michelle Bachmann over Ike. He would never have won a primary in 2012.

You're right. That's why she was nominated to run against Obama instead of the more moderate Romney and is now planning for her inauguration next month.

Ike was being approached by both the Donks and the GOP before he decided to run as a Republican. Sort of a white Colin Powell who kept his politics close to the vest.

Yeah...I probably went a little far with that one...
