Caught this Chicago Tribune graphic link from a friend on Twitter and thought I would share. I’ve said it before, but I find myself looking at my bank account and the comfort of my family when I make political decisions.

Umm–Yeah! George W. basically killed all the good work of Bill Clinton getting us out of a major deficit. Just another note. Studies show that in the last hundred years, the economy has been better when there has been a democrat in office than when there is a republican. Obama Rocks!! He is kind of a maverick! :)
Speaking of Maverick, the term was used to describe a Liberal political family here in Texas. They don’t particularly enjoy the fact that the Republicans have purloined the term for their own use:

I read that and it was great! I just thought that since McCain thinks he is going to steal of Obama’s campaign slogans like saying Change a million times in his RNC acceptance speech-I would just start calling Obama a maverick! Plus I just feel compelled after Friday to say it as many times as I can!
So much for Republican “small government” eh?
So much for being a maverick, er Maverick.
Did you read that article I linked? Funny Texas stuff.
