I made the proposition now you have to prove it wrong. This is debate

No Jar Jar Reid you don't get to make that claim. You presented bullsh*t and it's not up to us to refute it. You posted stupid, it's up to you to prove what we are seeing on a daily basis isn't correct. Unemployment is really below 8%? The private sector is doing fine? You didn't build that business. The stimulus just wasn't big enough as we're 16 trillion in debt.

You prove what you posted.

Normally, I would have just punched the "THANK YOU" key for a one liner like this - but in this case, it deserves a WELL DONE.

This means nothing at all. The current state of the economy is better because of Obama than when he took it from the trickle downers and the de-regulators

And turned it into the country run by the regulator's. Unemployment over 8% since he took office; a failed stimulus package; housing and construction industries in the tank; 40+ months of poor job reports; the rape of Medicare; a credit downgrade. Mikeyv, you are living in a dream world, Obama's Administration has been a total disaster since day one, and all the posts to the contrary, are not going to change anybody's minds, and we don't need your page length posts trying to prop him up. Also - this isn't a court of law - requiring we prove you wrong - if you put it up - try to prove it yourself.

This election is on the economy, period, and Romney has slight leads in Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, and only trails in Colorado by 3%, and he keeps rising in the polls while the President falls. The Ohio poll changed in the last 72-hours in Romney's favor. The President lead's in Pennsylvania. Plus, Obama has to come out and apologize for his Vice President, bomb throwing Joe Biden, who has become an embarrassment.

It's still August, the Obama dirt and hate campaign against Mr. Romney hasn't worked. When you get this close to the election, and the unknown is that close in the polls? Usually the unknown wins. Kennedy over Nixon; Carter over Ford; Reagan over Carter; Clinton over Bush, Sr., Bush, Jr. over Gore.

Conventions will give both candidates a bump - with their core base - but not with the independents, and Mr. Romney has reversed the independent voter's opinion of Obama from 2008 (where the election will be decided) and is leading in those recent polls. Your advocacy is amazing considering how bad the Obama Administration has performed. Fine - advocate - but nobody really is listening to you........

when the cost per job created was about $200,000+ I don't think you can call the stimulus successful.

obama has nothing to show for the more than one trillion dollars he spent to "save us."

I don't think adding 5 trillion to our debt should be called successful.

sorry mikkeyy you got nothing here

I hope someday Mr Liberty you stop spewing propaganda. It really ruins serious debate.

Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction - Holcim Awards Bronze 2011 North America
Energy and water efficient border control station, Van Buren, ME, USA
This project has an explicit function as a border control station on the US frontier to Canada, thus needing to meet a range of stringent regulations for safety, operation and durability and yet provide a welcoming appearance to visitors. Efficiency demands an enhanced capacity for visual surveillance to enable as few as two officers to operate the station. Harsh weather conditions during winter require a strong canopy roof to provide shelter for exterior control operations. Beyond the fulfillment of the technical requirements the project pursues a well-designed reconciliation with the landscape and regional cultural context, echoing the plot structure and verticality of the forests to develop the shape and aesthetically integrate the building.

The remote location of the site, combined with an unusually large energy demand is met with a net zero energy goal and a water saving concept, based on features such as a ground source heating and cooling, a solar wall to temper outside ventilation air, a ground-coupled heat pump, peaking bio-diesel boilers, LED lights, and lighting control systems to reduce fossil fuel consumption. Materials are selected for durability, appropriateness, recycled content and regional production. The palette is minimized for design continuity and efficiency in purchasing. Low-VOC, formaldehyde-free, non-allergenic products resistant to mold, mildew and fungi are selected. The exterior envelope consists of recycled aluminum, precast concrete and coated low-e insulated glass.

Comment of the Holcim Awards jury North America
The jury commended the project for the adroit synthesis of design and technology, successfully applying state-of-the-art features of sustainability in a government project with its regulatory implications. The design is dignified, simple and elegant. Instead of a “noisy” appearance it is well integrated into the context and creates the maximum spatial quality out of the rather simple program of the border station.

That's a major difference between the Left and the Right...

Cost doesn't matter to the Left as long as the goal is completed...

If a bridge is built (and meets standards) for $10,000 dollars, both the Left and Right will agree it's a success...

If it's built for $100,000 they will still agree it's a success...

But if it ends up cost $100 BILLION dollars, the Left will still see it as a success while the Right understands cost ratios and considers it a failure...
