Will Obama spread the wealth from the winnings of his Ignoble Peace Prize? Most likely he will pocket the money while his brother lives in a cardboard shack in Africa. “Do as I say, not as I do.”

Looks like an obvious attempt to buy the old fogies support for the their own euthanasia. Let me think about that for a moment, since it effects me being a senior citizen and on S.S…ahhh ok, I thought about it, nope, still against Odopo’s euthanasia plan for the elderly…and the governments health care plan of any type with anyone’s name on it.

I can look at it like well I paid in taxes all those years I’m entitled, I think what I will do with it is continue donating to my favorite charities, there is so many worthy of our support. I do support the troops as much as I can financially, especially the injured soldiers wounded fighting for our freedom…like Wounded Warriors and Disabled Veterans. The $250 will help in giving a little more than usual.

Off topic, but important:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today signed into law a bill that requires buyers of handgun ammunition to leave thumbprints and detailed personal information with registered ammo sellers, as well as put restrictions on online bullet sales. “Assembly Bill 962 reasonably (really?) regulates access to ammunition and improves public safety without placing undue burdens on consumers,”(Not a fact, but wishful thinking!) Schwarzenegger said in a letter explaining his decision. The new restrictions will take effect Feb. 1, 2011. Authored by Assemblyman Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, the bill bans direct shipping to Californians who buy bullets via mail order or over the Internet.

My home state passes yet another gun/ammo bill intended to protect criminals, and criminalize citizens who desire protect themselves and their family. This is utter madness! With Obama's help, your state will be next.

I have known for several weeks, if not months, that there would not be a COLA increase in my SSA benefits. This news was only mildly disappointing. It ain’t no big thing despite cries of anguish from the usual suspects.

It will take 1,000,000′s of multiples of the $250 trinket dangled by ‘The One’ if he Hopes to Change my vote(s)

This is simply an attempt to buy votes for $250 each.
I am a senior, and if the gov’t gives me money I will accept it because it is my own money.

I’m sure the Chinese will be persuaded by your requests, 24Klady.

I’m ready to start a letter writing/e-mail/or fax campaign to implore the Chinese not to buy any more worthless paper of ours until this regime understands 2nd grade math! Madness.

The O’s grandparents were, perhaps, so enthralled with him that he thinks anyone will believe anything he says. He’s a user and abuser.

don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but those seniors could send the $250 to the Joe Wilson for president campaign fund, or the nearest conservative in their own district running for office…

Had Social Security been privatized, what would prevent the Government from bailing out those people who lost their retirement investments?

Z, never take up chess. You cannot see more than one move ahead.

250 won’t cover the natural gas bill for one month, in the case of those who don’t get their bills paid for & still keep the temperature in their PJ homes set at 80.

Isn’t it a good thing that Social Security was not privatized?

No. At least I’d have all that money that’s been taken from me in an account earning interest.

Hey Ziggy(as in Stardust)…Is that all you can say to this bribe? Duh…Glad they didn’t privatize SS…That’s another argument which I would love to debate the actual facts of what the proposals were but instead I will change the subject on you this time because I didn’t get to respond yesterday…
Which you said that the Chrysler bailout was a success. Oh really? Tell that to the people who Chrysler owed money to. They got 10cents on the $ while Bambi, in a Chavez like move, gave the Union control of the company. Yeah…That worked out great if you are a Marxist. You need to go ask Bowie to quit feedin you those drugs dude.
