    NTRYDR replies to Mr. Dexter
    Listen buddy..A MAN was voted into office..Whether he is the RIGHT MAN, or THE WRONG MAN is open for debate while history records his time in office..To condemn someone before the fact is not only sexist..it's racist and prejudicial. Why you all went off on someone other than the subject at hand shows just how untutored and opinionated you election losers are. Get behind your country and your president, whether you like him or not..He's the only POTUS you've got.."

    Well, Germany wanted change in 1932! Obama wanted change and that's what he left in our pockets! Hitler also gave great speeches!

    The only thing you said that was accurate was you mention of Jesus. This curent President is doin nothing but sending the country down the sewer. You're the one that had better wake up. This man is not in your corner . He wants everythig you own so you better hide it.

    INFO ON THIS SCAM ON INTERNET
    ITS A PHISHING SCHEME.  they tell you have a grant available to get you account info so they can steal your money.  
    THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT GIVING MONEY TO INDIVIDUALS!  
    there are no grants for buying houses or cars.  they use the Stimilus BS as the hook.

    Government Grant Scams from www.consumeraffairs.com 

    The "free money" scam has been around almost as long as the human species.

    It has more variations than a bulldog has wrinkles but you can count on one thing: the government (any government) does not simply give money away to individuals.
    Anyone who tells you differently has larceny in his heart. If you give him your bank account number, he will soon have your funds in his pocket.

    It does no good to list all of the names used by these bunko artists because a.) they change all the time and b.) every single free-money government-grant offer is a scam. Period.

    Grant Scams  from Federal Trade Commission Website  - I suggest everyone bookmark FTC.gov as a favorte - they post info on all the scams. how to spot and avoid.
    http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt134.shtm

    THE INTERNET IS THE TOOL YOU USE TO PREVENT RIPOFFS before they happen.  Instead of just posting complaints after the ripoff.

    Johnny Dl replies to Curtis Cohen
    These are scams of a sort....they'll only send you paperwork on how to obtain grants, not guarantee you money....you have to qualify before you can get anything...check with your local gov't office for the paperwork you need, not some fly-by-night operation.....

    Taxdr replies to RACISMFREE
    It appears that you left wing morons have no truth but are good at name calling.  How can anyone be called a racist when Obama is not black nor is he white?  He has taken this country to the brink of bankruptacy by spending more in 100 days than the prior administration did in 8 years.  Wake up, LF moron, he has kept no promise, will keep no promise and does not intend to keep a promise.  I am so tired of hearing racist every time some one opposes this man; we can say the same thing about you for your opposition to Bush.  You are a racist, racist, racist.    
    Obama has done nothing for the working man, black, white or latino.  All are still losing jobs and homes.
    You LF morons need to take the liberal states, seceed from the US; leave our constitution, flag, and God with us.  Take your same sex marriages, EPA, FRB, FDA, godlessness and deficit with you, write your own constitution and start the Socialistic States of America.  That way all of us will be happy and we can elect a president that has some common sense.

    I almost fall for this scam!!  Thank God I cancelled the order, but since I gave to the operator 704(as she ID her)I cancelled may credit card number, and requested another one. That process took me only 10 minutes after finishing talking to this person, and belive me!!, they made a charge of $250. to my card!!! I told her that I DID NOT WANTED ANY THING!!And still they charged me. They were offering a guide for $59.00 pluss $10.00 of handling fees, a total of $69.00,this for a 109 pages guide with the enrrolment package of how to request my $25,000 Grand!! It was so GOOD that started to sound funny!! I had to look in GOOGLE, I'm glad I did. Thank you.

    Some people are so blinded by their OWN prejudices that they refuse to acknowledge wrongs or injustices when deep down they know their cause is wrong. Our country is headed for disaster and some people are following along like a bunch of blind sheep.Socialism will not work. Never has and never will. Check out the former USSR, or the present day Cuba. WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT?  GOOD NEWS, ALL IS NOT LOST. WE CAN START THE TURNAROUND NEXT YEAR AT THE BALLOT BOX. FREEEEEDOM

    in reply to bashing the President, he's only been in office for 6 months and hasn't gotten us into another war, and has stopped spending on the wars.  When Bush took office we had a surplus, when he left we were trillions in debt, banks closing, credit card company raising up interest rates.  Anytime there is a Republican President he puts us in debt and we need a Democrate President to straighten out the mess.  I am sure that if Mr. Obama is in office for eight years we will again have a surplus and all programs to help everyone will be put in place for another Republican to screw up.  Now back to G.F. Institue, I'm from Florida and just Monday night on the 11:00 pm new they told us about this scam and another one were companys were suppose to help people in forclosure and wasn't.  They take the money and run, there seems to be alot of people trying to take our money and call it help!

    Get real.  He is trying to do what Kennedy did for our country in the 60's.  If more people thought and did what Kennedy asked, I'm sure you remember:  Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country!!  If you think we have it bad now, just think if the Republicans would have done!!

    kbrofford replies to Ron Wood
    You must be one the well to do folks, if Bush put money in your pocket.  Bush sure didn't want to put more troops in Afghanistan and stop the Talaban as much as he want to destroy the man who hired a hit on his daddy.  Mr Obaam is bring home the troops in Irac, even though he has to put more troops in  Afghanistan to prevent another 911.  Mr Bush gets all the blame for the DEPRESSION of the 2000's, the buck stopped at his feet, if he had paid more attention to what was really going on, instead of trying to avenge his daddy, and put more money in his and Chainey's pocket, (and it seems people like you) and taking it from people like me and mine, (my husband and I are disabled, our grown children (who have families of their own)barely live on what they make) who have far less money to exist than people like you, do you have to go to chairties just to get food for your family?  Do you children have to more back home because they don't make enought to cover rent, bills, and food?  Stop and think it took Bill Clinton eight years to get us out of debt and have a surplus, it took Bush two years to put us in the hole with a trillion or more debt.

    It is one of a million scams.  Our newspeople just told us Monday night about this and another one.  The other one is about helping people who are in or about to default on their mortgages.  All these companies want is to make money off people like us.  How about the stimulus food one, where you pay them $3.90 and get $1,000.00 in vouches for food, when they are really trying to get you to join travel club, auto clubs, hotel clubs etc.  If it sounds to good to be real, then you better believe it.
