Why yes I did.
Should I have listed my drug dealers instead ? Oh but wait I didn't have any .
Did you have a yearbook?
I tend to think that's BS, but will indulge my cuiosity. What charming and respectful thing did you write in yearbooks concerning your mom? You have to admit it's not the kind of thing a guy would normally scribe in that media.

Most guys don't want their Moms to read what is written in their yearbooks, let alone something written about them.

Obamanomics: Half of U.S. Lives In Household Getting Government Benefits…
Obama’s goal of a giant welfare state now within reach.
Via WSJ:
49.1%: Percent of the population that lives in a household where at least one member received some type of government benefit in the first quarter of 2011.
Cutting government spending is no easy task, and it’s made more complicated by recent Census Bureau data showing that nearly half of the people in the U.S. live in a household that receives at least one government benefit, and many likely received more than one.
The 49.1% of the population in a household that gets benefits is up from 30% in the early 1980s and 44.4% as recently as the third quarter of 2008.
The increase in recent years is likely due in large part to the lingering effects of the recession. As of early 2011, 15% of people lived in a household that received food stamps, 26% had someone enrolled in Medicaid and 2% had a member receiving unemployment benefits. Families doubling up to save money or pool expenses also is likely leading to more multigenerational households. But even without the effects of the recession, there would be a larger reliance on government.
The Census data show that 16% of the population lives in a household where at least one member receives Social Security and 15% receive or live with someone who gets Medicare. There is likely a lot of overlap, since Social Security and Medicare tend to go hand in hand, but those percentages also are likely to increase as the Baby Boom generation ages.

Re: Obamanomics
As much as the Dems would like to, you can not compare Bush to BO. We were attacked on 9-11-01. We were headed toward a major recession or depression but a war economy happened. We can debate the merits of going to war but no one can debate the fact that we were brought to to our knees on that fateful day which put our country in war mode that had bi-partisan support.

"Mr. Obama signaled to his Hawkeye State supporters that, first and foremost, he intends to keep on spending. “Now is the time to double down on biofuels and solar and wind, clean energy that’s never been more promising for our economy and our security and for the safety of the planet,” he said."

Re: Obamanomics
Speak for yourself. Some of us knew the war was a load of crap everytime Bush/Cheney and company (including democrats) came up with new reasons why we just "had" to go to war. Of course, we were called un-American but what we really were was right.

...and this is relevant to 2012 in what way?

I agree, since Moreluck doesn't except any comments from past President Bush or past republican government.
