A highly inappropriate term for the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts!
In December 2010 the tax cuts were set to expire. President Obama and the Congressional Democrats wanted to let the tax cuts for the richest 2% expire and extend the tax cuts for the other 98%. Also at this time, the federal unemployment payments were set to end. Congressional Republicans didnot want to extend the unemployment benefits because it was "too costly," so they held the long-term unemployed hostage until Democrats extended the tax cuts for the richest 2%!!!
Obviously, the Democrats went along for the sake of the unemployed and to keep the tax cuts for those that actualy needed them. Republicans showed their true colors (caring only for the rich) while the Democrats were again the ones showing fiscal resposibility!

Some fucking idiot actually called the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts the Obama Tax Cuts!!! WTF?
Obama was opposed to extending the tax cuts for the rich!

U.S. Congressman Joe Barton (R-Texas) was the lead
Republican at the congressional hearings about the bp oil spill.
As his opening remarks with bp's Tony Hayward, he actually apologized to him for President Obama's "harsh treatment." Barton actually said Obama's insisting on bp setting up a $20 Billion victim compensation fund was a "shakedown."
The appropriate shock and awe followed. Even John Boehner was embarrassed and Barton eventually apologized for his own assisnine insensitive stupidity.

Some of Rep. Barton's Republican colleages were surprised to hear he was a bp sympathizer, but many of his corporate owned colleages agreed with him. However if you look at his $1.4 million in campaign contributions from big oil you can begin to understand.

A strange phenomenon caused by eating corn. The poop that follows the eating, even a small amount, of corn. This poop mysteriously contains visable pieces of whole kernel corn. One of life's great mysteries.
We had corn-on-the-cob for the 4th of July, the next morning I saw kernels of corn in my shit!
"Wow! Cornpoop!"
"Wow! Cornpoop!"

A person, corporation or government that benefits China in a financial or political way. Many American companies are Pro-China; they set up factories in China so the money grubbing scum can avoid paying their workers a decent wage. These anti-American bastards would rather send billions of American dollars to China than pay Americans a decent wage. The Pro-China people are destroying this country and dramatically increasing our trade deficit. All of the American money going to China has strengthened their military power and their economy and is weakening the power of the U.S.A. The Chinese government owns a major chunk of our public debt.
Most furniture, clothing and footwear is made in China by Pro-China manufacturers based in the U.S.A. This money grubbing scum is more concerned with profits than workers rights, the environment or the long-term consequences of China's growing economic and military power!
The anti-worker fuckwits running Wal-mart are at the forefront of the Pro-China movement--they'll do anything to drive down pay and "keep costs down."
Pro-business Republicans are also Pro-China. The greedy fuckwit corporate owned G.O.P. does all it can to help businesses move good jobs from America to China. The g.o.p. doesn't seem to realize (or care) that China owns more than 15% of our debt. As we continue to borrow from China and buy Chinese made stuff, China gets stronger and we get weaker!

November 2, 2010. A sad day in America.
It is typical for a mid-term election to favor the oppostion party, however due to unlimited corporate spending this year, the G.O.P. took a bigger chunk than anyone would have thought possible. Republicans had a 25% approval rating in 2010. They somehow bought a majority in Congress and made gains in the Senate. Luckily the Tea Party was only able to get 32% of their candidates elected.

The 2010 Election was a major set back for President Obama and a potentially devasting blow to the working class struggling to recover from the Bush Depression.

A phrase originally coined by David Lettereman, during the writers' strike in the late 80s. He was referring to the T.V. and movie companies that refused to accept the writers guild's offer.
Today, there are many other instances of money grubbing scum causing problems for working people. Big businesses so often putting profits before the interests of people.

A common example: A big corporation moved their factory to China, eliminating 1000s of American jobs, the money grubbing scum C.E.O. received a huge bonus.
Money grubbing scum is destroying the American dream for many working people, by eliminating good paying jobs and weakening unions.
Also, Wal-mart is one of the worst cases of money grubbing scum in the history of retail! Those heartless anti-American bastards are one of China's top 5 customers!

Reference to controversial plan to build a Mosque and "community center" in New York City, near the site of Ground Zero. The controversy and outrage comes from the 9/11 terrorist attacks involving Muslims and the victims' families still in mourning. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the plan, is either extremely insensitive to the 9/11 victims or a truly obscene terrorist sympathizer!
Many people were rightfully appalled when the Ground Zero Mosque received approval from the NYC building commission! Whether intentional or not, the location of Rauf's planned Mosque is really a bad idea.
