From Wikipedia:
The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937[1] (frequently called the "court-packing plan")[2] was a legislative initiative proposed by U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt to add more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Roosevelt's purpose was to obtain favorable rulings regarding New Deal legislation that had been previously ruled unconstitutional.[3] The central and most controversial provision of the bill would have granted the President power to appoint an additional Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, up to a maximum of six, for every sitting member over the age of 70 years and 6 months.

If we crash, the world crashes. If Obama gets re-elected, and he continues his current pace of deficit spending, he will have added 12.47 trillion to the national debt by the end of his second term. That should make your prediction just about right.
If you think Romney will be a deficit hawk? I have news for you. I already told you, $20T-$25T in debt by 2016. Don't believe me? Look at the GOPs track record over the last 30 years. If you think that all of a sudden they woke up today and changed their tone, I'd like to have some of what you're smoking, at least I'll see reality with rose colored glasses.
The biggest hoax in human history is religion. Great way to extract money from people, live off their donations, and manipulate the masses. God must regret having created the human being. Earth would've been better off with just animals. Originally Posted by icuminpeace

almost everything obama says is a facade, as is some of the things he does, and his words are couched in phrases and language, the definitions of which have special and different meanings meant to mislead.David Maraniss's new book, "Barack Obama: The Story" reveals that Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," is full of lies. Not only is Obama's autobiography not truthful about his life, the likelihood is that Obama did not write the book. It's not uncommon for politicians to use ghost writers; Kennedy and Goldwater both did. The real significance, of Obama using a ghost writer, is that his ghost writer was apparently Bill Ayers. Obama's denial of the real nature of his relationship with Ayers is one of his biggest and most important lies.
thats why people who listen and understand and dont buy into his rhetoric view everything about him as suspect.
from his book to his birth place to his social security number, perhaps these things are true about him, but he is not to be trusted about the big things, ergo people do not trust him about the small. Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought

I'm attaching a link the "American Thinker" article on David Maraniss' fraudulent book
