| 130. No, it isn't funny. And I have been listening. |

Social Security, tax cuts for the rich, trade, and government; wow impressive list.
Why no mention of the Patriot act/personal liberties, Guantanamo Bay, rendition, health care reform, ending the wars, etc.? How do we stand on those?
It is especially not funny because he is not a Republican.
Satire? It wouldn't surprise me if it were to become true!
