I'm a little confused. My president said he wouldn't raise taxes one dime on Americans earnin' less than $250,000, or was it $200,000 a year? Either way, when his health care plan gets challenged in court, he defends it by saying it's a tax. ... What does that mean? Is he raisin' our taxes?

... I'm callin' in reference to the person that was called ... a hypocrite. I was ... I just wanted to say ... I grew up ... statin' ... learnin' that ... if you don't have anything good to say about anybody else, don't say anything at all. That's what I do with Bush. ... I didn't have anything good to say about him, so I didn't say anything at all. So that makes a person a hypocrite? No, the hypocrites are the ones that's bashin' Obama! Those are the hypocrites. ... You need to get your ... get yourself together and check yo self. Thank you and God bless you."

To the person who claims to be a true blue Georgia Southern fan: if so, what does it matter about Savannah State havin' so many players in jail? ... I guess you are one of those ... pretendin' to be a Georgia Southern fan when they play Savannah State. ... Talk about glass houses.

Clinton balanced the budget, eliminated the deficit and left Bush with a surplus. Bush spent the surplus, started two wars, allowed corporations to destroy the economy and left Obama with a $1.2 trillion deficit. Obama is trying to repair the damage, but Republicans won't let 'im.

Obama was elected on his merits, not his ethnic background. He would have a chance to be more successful if Republicans were not opposing his every move. The political parties need to work together, more for the good of the country, not their own personal agendas."

In response to the person that's prayin' for Obama to ... get out the office: beware of what you said. ... Because God don't deal in trash. And the ditch that you dig for Obama, you may be the first to fall in. So pray ... have ... pray to God ... that your soul is right so when you leave this world, you will be able to make it into the Promised Land.
