I think Big Al and Benett both touch on a important topic, especially here in California. If it is true that California democrats have a super majority now, our state will be the focus of which party’s beliefs our correct. There will be no stone walling or stone walling excuses… Read more »
I think it was Romney that said….look at the “state” the state of California if you want to see what the future of the entire US will look like under complete Democratic rule….I thought that was a great observation.
meant to say: “look at the ‘state’ of the state of California”
quietstorm- I would love to have a politician come around that says what he would really do , instead of playing with peoples fears about the other party.
If there is heaven on earth it’s gotta be the Inyo. It’s so apparent every time I walk out my door and see the sky ,the mountains and then I might drive somewhere and get to wave back to folks, some I don’t even know. Contrast that to being down… Read more »
you know obama inherited, that is just the response i expect … some people just don’t like a black president. Why is it, people can talk about thing such as this, one side praises the president. The other side voices they concern or their feelings about the president and what… Read more »
Did you see the 60 Minutes interview of Obama some weeks ago? Steve Croft asked him about his biggest disappointment. The President responded that it was the fact that in Washington, “Politics trumps problem solving.” There’s the problem. Everyone there on both sides of the aisle has to remember that… Read more »
Using executive orders to get things done is NOT how our government was designed to work. There is a reason for Congress…it’s so that the executive branch of the government does not over use it’s power to over ride the will of the people. Some thing must stand in the… Read more »
Yes, our democracy is about checks and balances. It is also about willingness to serve the public and get things done to benefit the public. Perhaps you did not see and hear Senator Mitch McConnell who declared several years ago that it was the Republicans’ mission to make sure the… Read more »
nice dream Benett, there hasn’t been any checks or balances in years.
Obama will ruin this country and time is on my side to proove it. Thank God we have the House to tell him no as much as they can.
I have no idea what you are talking about. The only thing I see ruining our country is the system of big corporations giving politicians money to vote the way they want and elected officials with no character going along with it.

When democracy fails, a dictator rises to power
Big Al must have forgotten that it hasn’t been all that long ago that brother was killing brother in the Civil War. You remember the Civil War. It was where some people think black people should be the slaves of whites. “The South shall rise again!” is a call we… Read more »
People say Obama is spending too much money. He’s not spending it. He’s paying for what Bush and Co. bought. Saying Obama is spending too much money is a fine example of “Romneysia”
We could send every high school student in the nation to college for the price of those two bull…. wars.
In total agreement with you, Ken. President Obama inherited trumped-up wars created by Cheney and Co. (former CEOs of defense contractors – Lockheed Martin and Halliburton) against a country (Iraq) that had nothing to do with the 9/11 tragedy. Here’s how it works: Declare war, send in troops, and those… Read more »
Obama inherited a mess…..RIGHT ON with that post…I don’t think this Country will ever totally recover from the Bush years…and certainally not in my life-time.But there will be progress in about 2 1/2 years…IMO…As far as your last sentence,here in Lone Pine,where there were very few Obama voters,everytime the subject… Read more »
Colorado & Washington state shall see total Recovery & Booming times because They decided to take tha lead in being masters of their own Destinies and doing what’s right for the People of their respective State Republics and forgo behaving like Sheeeple 🙂
And speaking of elections … unlike the myriad of awful problems with voting across the country, I am continually amazed at how well run the elections have been in Mammoth Lakes and other places in the County. From the attentive poll-workers to the easy-to-vote machines, voting in Mammoth has never… Read more »
America started going broke paying for two unwinnable, pointless wars that only made Dick and Lynne Cheney (former CEOs of defense contractors Halliburton and Lockheed Martin) even more filthy rich. Then American companies found out they can make products cheaper overseas.
Correction… “America is broke” to the tune of 18 TRILLION Dollars.
America is not broke .. in hock, yes, to the likes of China. Just wait after four more years, they will out right own the whole nation, better learn to speak Chinese … and learn to love communism. We have the where with all to turn this around, but it… Read more »
It may surprise many of you, but Japan has bought almost as much debt as China. That’s what it means when people say, “…borrow from China, etc….” That really means that they have bought long term Treasury bonds. Anybody could buy them.
