I guess a half smoke at Ben's and a little work at a soup kitchen by the Mrs. O should be enough for us.

It should read "Taxation Without Representation is Tyranny!" Unlike the colonists of the 1700's, we have a representative to "Parliament", but alas, her vote doesn't count. Nothing short of declaring DC's Independence would get the attention of "Parliament" I mean the U.S. Congress. If anything Angry Al, the predicate "is tyranny" is missing.

It leaves out the most important word of the slogan - "no". No Taxation without Representation. That said, Pres. Obama is a centrist. Mr. Cautious. This fits in nicely with my theory - Barak O'Bama is GHW Bush's illegitimate grandson. 1. Bush senior impregnated Obama's grandmother in a WWII one-night stand in 1944 Honolulu, while Barak's "grandfather" was off fighting in Europe after D Day. Yadda yadda yadda. Barak. 2. Therefore, Barak is Mr. Cautious - wouldn't be prudent. & he loves Bill Gates & the rest of the old Bush crowd. That pussy-footer Clinton only used the plate in his last days. Like everything Clinton did, the effort was half-arsed. The plate itself is stupid. It leaves out the most important word of the slogan - "no". No Taxation without Representation.

Eleanor sold us down the river, so why should one expect President Obama not to do the same. The only person with the guts to do the tag thing was Clinton...and it was on his way OUT! He knew that Dubya wouldn't tarnish his new Presidency with some DC voting rights drivel. Nine years later, more of the same. Why bother asking him.
