LOL..........I lived in Hobbs for 9 years, married a school teacher there. Hobbs is an okay place, when the casino moved in it started to boom. Still, it's backwards in many ways with tons of illegals roaming the street. I can't say how it is now, haven't been there since 2006. It seems really strange to see this.

And someone said something about Rosewell... the city itself is a complete farce.... lots of poorly disguised aliens there and even worse photos .... it's a pretty big joke to the locals. But diehard conspiracy theorist drool over the junk.

The military base, on the other hand, is no joke. You aren't able to get within 10 miles of it before 8-9 MP's are on your *** asking what your business is there.

I worked on it for a few minutes with perspective correction and a few unsharp mask programs, but the image is compressed too much. Legibility is impossible.

If you want to find out what's going on in the USA, read news that is not printed in the USA. Any real truthful news that put the US in a bad light, would be like the home team throwing themselves out of the game.

I've always found that being armed can answer prayers more quickly!

Oh yeah, because everyone supports... what did you call him a few months ago "Multiple Choice Mitt" But now you brag like he was your choice from the get go... Paul and Rand have different political views on some things... not everyone fits into your neat little world of black and white...get a clue!

President Obama on Monday proposed a one-year extension of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for people making less than $250,000 a year, his latest election-year effort to appeal to middle-class voters by resuming a long-standing debate over tax fairness.

The move is likely to set up another standoff with Republicans in Congress, who support extending the tax cuts for one year for all income levels, not just for those making less than $250,000 per year.

A repeal vote on Obamacare and small business tax cuts are on the agenda after a week-long recess.

But the White House is calculating that forcing the GOP to reject the president’s proposal would put Republican lawmakers in a difficult position at a time when many Americans are struggling in a tough economy. And Obama also aims to sharpen the distinction with likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who backs extending the tax cuts for all income levels.

“Most people agree we should not raise taxes on middle-class families or small businesses,” Obama said, appearing in the East Room with families and workers who would benefit from the initiative.“Not when so many people are trying to get by.”

Obama said that Republicans believe that the best way to build the economy is to give tax breaks to the wealthy, and he charged that “top-down economics” during the Bush era helped lead to the economic recession.

“I disagree. I think they’re wrong,” Obama said. “I think our prosperity comes from an economy built on a strong and growing middle class. . . . It’s time to let the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, folks like myself, expire.”

The tax cuts dating to the Bush administration are set to expire for all income levels at the end of this year. Obama’s proposal to extend the cuts for lower-earning Americans would cost the government $150 billion in revenue in 2013, according to the New York Times, which first reported on the administration’s announcement Sunday night.

House Republicans argued that the president’s approach would harm small-business owners by raising taxes on them. GOP lawmakers pledged to produce their own plan to overhaul the nation’s tax code, and they have scheduled a House vote July 23 on a Republican proposal to extend the tax cuts for all income earners.

“President Obama is still asleep at the switch when it comes to our economy and jobs,” House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said Monday. “In the wake of another weak jobs report, the president is doubling down on his quixotic call for the same small-business tax hikes that have been routinely rejected by the House and Senate.”

Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul called the president’s proposal “a massive tax increase. It just proves again that the president doesn’t have a clue how to get America working again.”

But Obama said 98 percent of the public, as well as 97 percent of small-business owners, would fall under the $250,000-per-year threshold.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said at his daily briefing that Obama would veto any bill that extends the tax cuts for all income levels, arguing that eliminating the tax breaks for wealthier Americans, who don’t need the money, would help pay down the deficit

what we celebrate on July 4th. We used to be free... and I know all you "Obamalites" (people who make light on Obama's actions) will disagree, but when you think about it, it's the truth no matter how you try to spin it.

In what universe?

.or the fine selection of Boone's Strawberry Hill!

so you admit it was a mistake?

So in reality, for the time being this is much ado about nothing?

LOL........and in this corner...........

The Love Muscle?

I'd say you can't have one and then not the other without the hypocrisy label being tossed around. Not that voting really matter much anymore. Machines are easy to tamper with, take 3 secs, implement a virus and boom...

body part on a person? Is it a muscular chest? Perhaps it's silky smooth legs? Keep your answers PG....lol

Hey, west Texas was my stomping ground for 13 years! Though I lived in the Hobbs, Lovington New Mexico area. I was dating a great girl from Odessa at one time! Small world...

Just more evidence of how this country is headed straight for the crapper.
